Love it, love it, love it. What a natural he is. Big success as he is, he always has the time for others. Not like some upstarts of today. Love you Leonard
Just awesome , I can't believe it's taken me all these years to discover Leonard Cohen ,making up for lost time, must have watched this video about 20 times tonight. Thankyou Thankyou for this
Thank you for sharing that with us, I can imagine it was hard to keep the camera still, he is so INCREDIBLE, and he was that humble still at the O2 in London, that was so nice to watch, thank you for posting it and sharing it for us to see. xxx
What a great moment of musical history. Its brilliant that leonard was happy for Ron sexsmith to do a main vocal, just proves how humble he is. haveing said that Ron is respected in his won right the world over and ive seen him three times in Newcastle England.
@BushWomanOtter Cohen is a GOD. A man his age should not be able to belt out tunes the way that he does. His music is perfect.... I never heard of Ron Sexsmith... I came here looking for Cohen videos, but I am going to go and look him up now.
Hey, "bloke," the old "bloke" is Leonard Cohen, the reason anyone showed for this thing. If you know nothing of music, keep your ignorance to yourself.
i've never heard about Leonard Cohen before, but now i've seen him.. i can't stop watching him in youtube.... and i can't stop practising my self to play the guitar with this song... tanx tootough for uploading this video.
The guy in the white shirt is Stephen Page, formerly of the Bare Naked Ladies, and the other guy who sang is Ron Sexsmith, all Canadians. Not sure who the other are.
I am only familiar with the song and Leonard Cohen, but the smile on the man in the white shirt was priceless and the video gave me a nice smile too. Thank you for bouncing around with your camera.
thanks very much man,so good to look at and see Cohen happy and friendly man he is. That golden voice sure tests the soundsystem when he comes near the mic:)
So lovely, thanks again.Dont think I will get the opportunity to see smth like this otherwise.

Wow! Its like a drunken pub nightmare. Leonard Cohen, the master, singing (out of tune I may say) with the guy from Bare Naked Ladies?! What's next? Dylan stumbles out of a "Karl Strauss" with one of the Jonas brothers?!
what do you want perfection? humans don't do that - check your owns creds! life is a bit out tune and I look forward to your perfect offering - it will be a first
Seeing him in Manchester in November, for the first time ever. Seriously I can't remember the last time I have been looking forward to a performance so much... the man is a legend in the truest sense of the word!
Now see that's the thing about Leonard Cohen, being real. What other mega person ever does that kind of thing? I was smileing the whole time I was watching this.
The Barenaked Ladies are NOT from Edmonton. They're from Scarborough, Ontario. Stephen Page is the only BNL member up there... I think Ron Sexsmith is quite recognizable! Ron has written a LOT of material for other artists and recorded his own material as well (Gold in Them Hills.. ) One of the other guys went solely by "Gowan" in the 80's
I love this song. What an honour to get to perform with Leonard Cohen!
Maybe I'm musically ignorant of Canadian musicians, but those oher singers with them, who are they and what have they done? I like them but I've never heard of them before
I want to do this because I'm scared. PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
Oh my i got tickets for halifax they added tio shows and i was lucky to get some for the fourth show , niobody knows how many times leonard dragged me through broken up relations and gave me a cure.
asa credeam si eu dar s-a dovedit a fi o informatie falsa. Romania a disparut de pe toate siteurile sale si ale casei de discuri. Doar presa din Romania a preluat stirea prea repede, fara a avea o baza. :(
Finally going to see you Leonard After these many years of waiting for a miracle - you are finally touring again! Going to see you in Toronto on the 6th and 7th of June! Words cannot describe how much joy I feel at this moment.
