Leonard Cohen, live at Massey Hall, Toronto 9th November 1988.

By 1988 Leonard Cohen had undergone something of a renaissance in North America, propelled by the success of Jennifer Warnes’ Famous Blue Raincoat album in 1987. He supported his widely acclaimed and synthesizer-heavy I’m Your Man album with a tour of Europe, the US and his native Canada, where this superb performance, broadcast live on CBC Radio, of his release was captured. It’s presented here with background notes and images.
