... Those of you who have got the mag: what's inside about Leonard, and on the CD? Best I can do is add some of those 13 pages mentioned above by John :) https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/leonard-cohen-he-charmed-the-beast-129232/ Leonard Cohen: “He charmed the beast” Cohen's turbulent '70s charted ...
I've just finished listening to The Music Show on FM ABC Radio National Australia and the last section of it is a phone interview from Australia to Manhattan with Judy Collins aged 81 years and still going strong. The programme begins with her singing the first part of Amazing Grace but her intervie...
Leonard Cohen’s curious cure for stage fright https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/leonard-cohen-stage-fright-cure/ Ahead of his residency at London’s Wembley Arena in 2012, his backing singers, The Webb Sisters, spoke with The Independent. They offered a vivid insight into what went on before their perfor...
Yes, thanks Eugene, so nice to re-live, through your camera lens, images from the front row! I attended 8 concerts in Australia on LC's last tour and was lucky to get a perfect front row seat to 4 of those concerts, all due to the pre-sales - Thank you, Jarkko! My camera was not working properly so ...
Thanks, FYS, good analysis, Yes, I well remember the exchanges on Collectors Corner and beyond that. I was a giver and receiver of some of those precious jewels, participating in it with no monetary advantage and simply for the enjoyment and benefit of both forum members and Leonard. You know, I aut...
And I just have to add that it is early morning on the last day of the year here and happens to be two hours past,
"... four in the morning, the end of December"
Happy New Year to you!
Hi hedvig, firstly welcome to the forum! And secondly, I also have been pondering your question intermittently for some years now :) ....and still haven't come up with a definitive answer! Hopefully others can do so. A thought says because he hasn't changed the plural, "they" when referring to "flam...
After all the excitement of the 1971 recordings coming and going on iTunes, I was wondering if anyone could help me get hold of the 1967 studio outtakes that were also released for a short while for copyright reasons. This is the only missing item I’m my Cohen collection, so any help would be massi...
Yes, thanks! Good to have all the info we can here for LC archival purposes and prosperity! And here's an observation for the future as another Christmas present to us in almost exactly 3 years time ;-) Interestingly, the 1967 studio takes and the 1970-1971 studio takes, poetry, etc were both first ...
Yes, thanks guys! Good to have all the info we can here for LC archival purposes and prosperity! And here's a "prediction" for future similar "Christmas" albums or is it simply a "coincidence" ;-) Either way, it's something to keep in mind but be observant all the time! https://www.leonardcohenforum...
Here’s an article by my favourite LC interviewer over the years, Paul Zollo. Seems I'm into celebrating meaningful events in time at the moment :) I am now reminded of a comparative line in LC's song Last Year’s Man – “And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began” … https://americanson...
Thanks for clarifying Bev. I will remonstrate with Raincoat1 for missing Going Home off his track list. It’s been seeding on Dime since Nov 2016 and no one has pointed it out before! Wendy Always glad to help! And be gentle with Raincoat1 ;-) It's Christmas Eve night here at the moment. A safe and ...
thank you, very, very much, for this link, giving the possibility to re-live a concert i couldn't be present at (from here, NZ is just the opposite side of the globe, and far out of reach of my wallet). After yesterday's treat, from Maarten, Gabriele and Tyralot, this is another night of sweetness ...
