5.0 out of 5 stars Heartrendingly beautiful, 24 Oct 2003
By L. Christensen (CPH, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been a Cohen fan as far back as I can remember. I had a feeling I wouldn't be disappointed by this album, since Cohen's live backup singers are legendary, and I was right. These are without a doubt the most beautiful and emotional versions of the songs ever recorded, and I find it impossible to listen to the album as mere background music; as soon as the music starts playing, I can't help but close my eyes and just let the music envelop me completely.

The songs "Bird on a Wire" and "Sisters of Mercy" are worthy of special mention. The tempo is lower, the saxophone sexier and the vocals deeper and more intense than ever before, and the result defies description. I would have gladly paid in blood to be at the show where they were recorded.

I heartily recommend this album to all, it is beyond fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best live album ever?, 6 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I'm not usually a fan of live albums. They often contain little more than badly recorded, inferior versions of tracks you probably already own. So this live collection comes as a welcome exception to the rule.

Simply put, this album is stunning. It contains many of Leonard Cohen's best loved songs, all played to perfection by world-class musicians and recorded with pin-drop clarity. The songs were recorded on various tours during the 80s and early 90s but the album hangs together as if they were all recorded on the same night.

Particularly effective are the understated but arresting guitars, and the backing vocals providing a silky counterpoint to Cohen's world-weary tones.

This was the album that introduced me to Leonard Cohen and I have to say, I haven't found a better version of any of these songs anywhere. This is, for me, the best live album ever made, and one of my all time top five albums, period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to the Original.., 21 Dec 2008
By Adrian (Bristol UK) - See all my reviews
With all of the current "X-Factor" interest in a particular song now seems as good a time as any to review this CD. I hope the show will encourage people to look more deeply into the work of the man who wrote the song..

I first heard Leonard Cohen courtesy of a girlfriend's sister about a year after his first album was released. It's therefore fair to say I've been a fan for a good while...

Live albums are often a disappointment - this one isn't.. Over an hour of sublime performances, beautifully recorded at various venues with some of the best backing musicians anywhere..

The track "If It Be Your Will" alone is worth the absurd £2.98 being asked here. As a bonus you get about 10 others and a much more honest version of "Halleluja" than the one we're hearing a lot at present...

We were very, very happy with this CD. Cohen live is even better than in the studio. We would wholeheartedly recommend it - to fans and non-fans alike.
