[TheLisaMargarita]

What a lovely Norwegian woman.

[yeolejuazman]

the closest someone ever got to be sacred

[kaptenmax]

I doubt he has ever got close to the happiness he had with marianne in his whole life

[Dyrefjeset]

Marry me, pleeease! Oh Leonard, I don't care about the fact you're more than 50 years older than me!

[MrApocherry]

how can you do a dislike here????

[BRAUUUNA]

HE USED TO BE THIS VISCERAL, HMMM? THE LYRICS WERE SECONDARY, THEN, I GUESS, TO THE PERFORMANCE. IT IS BOTH MESMERIZING AND UNFAIR.

[sweetgypsywife]

What a fabulously outrageous performance from Leonard!!...and incredibly personal photos..and how sad the reminiscences about the quality of his life as he felt he had to pursue a regular income.t Lovely to share this

[hirundine]

Umm yeah, probably the best video of Mr. Cohen his poetry and song with accompanying imagery that I've seen.

I could never figure out why Mr. Cohen would exchange such an idyllic lifestyle, for the other either?

All, I can remember of that time? Was that, in the sixties, so much changed! Rapidly, due to air travel. Plus, for some? .... there is the applause factor? ..... cheers!

[johnmair]

all the moderately overweight, unattractive, middle-aged women who write all those pseudo-poetic comments about their love and admiration for leonard cohen....they contaminate cohen for the rest of us!

[messalina79]

@johnmair That's not very nice! Cohen is for everyone :)

[Steelrigg]

@johnmair How conceited......

[tlchead]

@johnmair Leonard Cohen wrote for these women. I'm not sure he wrote for you.

[lukasnummer1]

@tlchead He didn´t write only for overweight, unattractive, middle-aged women ^^

[3timesoneminusone]

really think about what cohen is saying at the end of this video...4:52 on...what is he saying about art, music and life? what is he saying about how we live?what do we do to ourselves?

[17Hongo]

Cohen is such a poet - so insightful to human emotions, especially love and loss

[RAYESARYAS]

the prophet leo

[margolciap]

who is it, this girl?...

[Arjanajanath]

Marianne from my district (Østfold) from Norway.

[1bullfrogjones]

I never did like Irving Layton, though Leonard adored him.

[ERICinCOLOUR]

Beautiful.

[KCBLACKlung]

Irving Layton!!

[SixDayWar67]

[brunstar81]

[ejcurtis100]

[tehila894]

[Eagleray99]

"I suppose I did it because the songs seized me"...terrific! I love the poem/song "Death of a Ladies' Man" as well. He seems all alone on the stage....
