LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL
4 PAGE INSERT

After a sabbatical period resting in a Buddhist monastery, Leonard
Cohen was prompted to tour again as in his absence his former
manager embezzled his savings. If one expected Cohen not to amaze
crowds regardless of the reason he was on stage, or his absence
from the stage for almost 15 years, one couldn’t be more wrong.
Live In London (2009) contains some of the maestro’s best work, 26
songs in all. Recorded at London’s O2 Arena on July 17, 2008, Cohen
mesmerized the audience of 20.000 with big, yet subtle renditions of
classics like “Who by Fire”, “Suzanne”, “The Future” and “Democracy”.
Cohen sounds genuinely moved by the affectionate reception he
receives from his audience, and he seems determined to give them a
show to match their loyalty, and with his band (who he frequently lauds
during the performance) he truly gives all.
This is the first ever vinyl issue of Live In London!
