Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen Live, London 17 July 2008

Thank you, Dorsetbay, I received your response. I appreciate your efforts to obtain a video. Probably the security man was responding to orders from Cohen or his managers or Sony Entertainment who had copyright concerns. There is an authorized release of Cohen's concert at the London O2 arena in 2008, on DVD, which is concert qualilty.

I guess the performers have to sign contracts insuring that the right people get paid, before they can perform. That's just the real world we all live in.

po prostu pięknie!

Look:

Milena Walosik Hallelujah

[Transcends]

"It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah". Simple words, but they just pierce you.

I love Leonard singing this but have to admit that nothing brings a tear to my eye more than hearing my son sing his version of this wonderful song - halelujah

[TheTreehaus]

Simply perfect. Leonard's voice casts a spell over you!

[Obelisk2290]

see you Saturday Mr Cohen

[abib2054]

the organ is breaking the song

[GalaxyHorse]

i love the Hammond organ on this version..he is using the famous Leslie cabinet..the vocals are great too..not bad for an old bloke!

[Obelisk2290]

the organ takes this song to a higher level

[ethermonkey222]

I was at that concert, and still searching youtube to see if anyone caught the magic moment when Hattie Webb did the duet with Leonard on "Take this Waltz". Every hair on my body stood on end.

[NowIamheretoo]

there's a DVD out of this concert ....

[huckbrownmvp]

Did you ever find the video?

I'd love to hear it.

this was a great night, he has such a strong prescence on stage and probably off too. the only thing that ruined the evening was the fact at the end of his set he kept going off stage then returning to play another song which he did repeatedly?! but i cant complain hah

[inwildestdream]

Magic.I saw the great man at the O2 last night. I can't think of words to describe the privilege of being there.

Thnak you all posters

[roosslad]

what a night this was

[wakeupmartin]

Good work! Thanks. Glad to see it again. I think this was the song where the concert really took off.

[sleepoversweet]

Thanks for this - what an amazing evening! I'm still buzzing.

Cohen Koan:

What is the sound of 30,000 hands clapping?

(Does anyone know how many people were actually there?

[brandinator22]

it usually hosts up to 18,000

[roosslad]

best song of the night, and better still my friends were the backing singers

[shiboigan]

Hallelujah, well done. I got a couple of full songs too. I called the first A golden voice and the next I got was Who by fire. It doesn't look so good at the start but watch it and you may find it worth it.

Have a look. Shiboigan

Reclaiming his song - simply fantastic - what a night

[BrentPigeon]
