Leonard Cohen: Boogie Street - O2 Arena

[itapp1664]

Bummer. I have looked at a few versions of this and, as good as Leonard is, the solo Sharon Robinson version was better and, as I have said, the O2 version was better. I was told at the NEC that every concert is being filmed and that a live CD and DVD will be released in due course. I just hope they have the sense to use the O2 version of Boogie Street.

This is an excellent video with good sound of one of the high points of this concert. Her version at the O2 was better than another (excellent) version I heard at the NEC. She took full advantage of the magnificent O2 sound system. Given all this, WHY IS THERE ONLY 38 SECONDS?!!!

I got jumped on by the security guy, unfortunately ...

So did I!  At the Beacon. She'd just finished the intro and I got thumped on the shoulder. Everyone should hear her solo.

Great night and this lady should be a star in her own right. Cohen is still the Master, no-one comes close. Appearing again at the O2 in November.
