Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen: - Live, BBC Television Theatre, London, 1968 - Yellow Cat

This is classic Leonard Cohen, recorded live at the BBC Television Theatre (aka Paris Theatre), London, in the Summer of 1968 for TV broadcast. Cohen here is mostly playing songs from his essential and wonderful 1967 debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen. This set was originally broadcast in August 1968, shown in two parts on television, but only the audio still exists. The recording is of good quality, and (almost) nothing beats Cohen as a song-writer. This is a must have for all Cohen fans. The introductions, as always with Leonard Cohen live shows, are great, and most of the recordings are at least as good as the original album versions.
