hey if you are in atlanta, mike doughty of soul coughing fame is playing at criminal this fine evening @ 7 pm.

leonard cohen is one of my main dudes. although i havent really talked about him up until now, my love remains unwavering. not much can really be said about him that hasnt been more eloquently stated thousands of times before. so, in lieu of doing him and his craft a grave disjustice, i’ll just leave you with this show from oslow, norway recorded on 5.1.93. its an fm broadcast, and thus probably not the entire show.

1. the future

2. aint no cure for love

3. bird on the wire

4. everybody knows

5. first we take manhattan

6. avalanche

7. suzanne

8. tower of song

9. i cant forget

10. so long, marianne

11. sisters of mercy

12. dance me to the end love

13. democracy

14. coming back to you

15. im your man

16. joan of arc

17. closing time

18. take this waltz

hallelujah

    According to the Leonard Cohen Files, this is the complete concert.

    Great stuff by Cohen, he definitely doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

    Do you happen to have any Allman Brothers Band material from any era?

  4. gregor says:

    the funny thing about cohen is that he kind of suffers from the victoria williams syndrome. where i prefer his and her songs in the hands of other worthy artists more than i do the originals. i actually have a couple of allman bros shows that i have been siting on and will post one sometime this week.
