  • Leonard Cohen is a true poet. He's written some of the most beautiful songs in creation.

  • 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

  • Chills down my fuckin spine!

  • verficktes YT , erzählt mir doch nicht dauernd , daß dieses oder jenes Video aufgrund Bla bla bla hier in meinem Land nicht verfügbar ist .

    Dieser Comment bezieht sich ausschließlich auf YT ; nicht auf Mr L.Cohen oder sonstige Künstler .

  • wow thanks for posting this :) its great

  • Awesome. Thank you for posting.

  • Wunderbar. Vilen Dank dafür.

  • Lovely to revisit this quality clip. This man is a legend.

  • 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.

  • Impresionante!!!!  :)

  • Cohen is never too good for anyone anywhere anytimne. God love this man.

  • @BushWomanOtter

    ...and we love him too....

  • @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.

  • Fantastic.

  • if L. Cohens performed there, that area now stands on a greater beauty than it did before.

    I'm so damn lucky because in 2 hours I get to see an interview first hand with Stephen and Ron!

  • It always suprises me how small Cohen is.

  • Tadeusz598 .

    is your comment of any importance?

    The answer is: you just shut up !!!

  • Me too - but he is a giant in his own way!

  • 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.

  • That's Dustin Hoffman doing Leonard Cohen Karaoke!

    I feel like my balls are fastened to stone after hanging on this toutube cruxifix!

    Woot!

    I'll meet you for a Jam in the Chelsea Café anytime Len! You and my Dad are my lyrical heros man! :)

  • Leonard is such a good sport.

  • Omg this happened on my 20th birthday!

  • I just realized that this was filmed at the store where I work.

  • Lovely footage. Everyone really lucks to be enjoying themselves. This is my favourite Leonard Cohen song.

    Great stuff!

  • Who is the dude with the brown Jacket ?

  • Ron Sexsmith

  • He was recently inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

  • 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.

  • awesome!!!

  • ..brawo.......

  • 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.

  • If I had the chance to sing with Leonard Cohen I would be bawling...and smiling :)

  • merci

  • The guy in the white shirt is Stephen Page from the Barenaked Ladies.

  • Well, formerly of the Barenaked Ladies.

  • berlin?

  • Now I'm happy...thats all

  • 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.

  • fantastic! what a wonderful place to see him! lol. good job keeping the camera going! lol

  • ....and the angels forget to pray for us. :'(

  • Did he or anyone ever write 2 better songs than this or Hey that's no way to say goodbye? Both of them grab me in the guts and hold me in a trance.

  • Mr Cohen, you never cease to amaze.

  • F A N T A S T I C

  • Good to see Leonard old but happy here and others enjoying a good old sing - song A song I used to play and sing during sadder times way back

  • who are these guys?

  • eh... the bare naked ladies, I think :)~~

  • Steven Page (barenaked ladies)

    Ron Sexsmith

    Jim Cuddy on guitar (Blue Rodeo)

    Random mandolin player

  • Ahhh...Sweet Leonard :)

  • i can't stand that f*%#?ng singer from barenaked ladies...he's singing out of tune again and again...he ruined it for me...

    cause I LOVE MR. COHEN...

  • Esta canción tendría que escucharse de rodillas.

  • Even the poor sound quality adds to his voice. Great vid.

  • Wonderful! thanx so much for posting this gem. Cohen's poetry helped me thru my teen years.

  • the spirit of this is so moving. Cohen's voice isn't up for it, but he puts all his heart in this old song he wrote as a young man. And it's awesome.

  • I think his voice is far better than the others, well c'est une question de goût? I enjoy the gathering, though!

  • this video is a miracle

  • The studio version is much better indeed.

    A versão de estúdio é bem melhor, Muito melhor.

  • How simply wonderful! Thanks for posting. He's coming here to Australia in Feb 09 for a concert in Bowral NSW.

  • You mean Lawrence Gowan?

  • ohhh ya perfect harmoonics man i would almost hug anyone for this street concert

  • this made me cry, thanks for posting

  • big big up and thanks

  • This is awful....really for Leonard Cohen he's usually so good.

  • 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

  • after all, he was 72 when this was made. he's great

  • THANK YIOU FOR THAT VERY UNUSUAL VID . . .WHO ARE THE FRIENDS HE IS SINGING WITH (I MEAN APART FRON THERE NAMES) & HOW DOES ONE BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

    TA!

    marjorie

  • he came in greece and i didnt go to the concert..SO STUPID WHAT I DID! I totally love his music and i think he is one true legend~!

  • 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!

  • i love cohen  ty for posting

  • 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.

  • amazing.

  • Only one Barenaked Lady, Ron Sexmith, Tim Bovaconti and Terrance Gowan

  • WELL DONE ALL!

  • Absolute!

  • ich liebe es, es ist ÜBERNATÜRLICH ;-)

  • 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!

  • Im glad he looked so happy, the guys got him over the stagefright. Saw him in Dublin and his voice is still great, a legend..I was honoured.

  • Thanks for thinking of us. You were lucky to be there!

  • 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

  • That is Ron Sexsmith (Brown suit) and Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies fame.

  • Looks like Bare Naked Ladies to me. The Band from Edmonton, Alberta.

  • Dublin was amazing!! Can't wait to see him in Edinburgh....

  • Saw him in Dublin last night - pure magic!

  • just got back from Dublin - he didn't sing Marianne. Came home and listened to this. What a classic. What a legend.

  • Aww, what a shame! He sang Marianne in Copenhagen this Saturday. Even got a little footage I might upload sometime.

  • Going to see the Dublin show tomorrow night. Have waited years for this!!!!

  • Amazing. Going to the Toronto show tonight. Will be in the presence of greatness.

  • i. love. leonard. cohen. see you june 9.

  • FACINANTE!!!!!!!!!:)

  • Thanks, this is great!

  • historique

  • Simply moving.

  • I'm cold as a new razor blade.

  • Sexsmith, Bovaconti, Gowan, what more would you want. Oh yeah, Kerr and of course Jerry Leger.

  • Lucky Canadians! To have the opportunity for spontaneous street sessions with this Grand Master of Folk-Music - I'm kneeling.

  • Check out the Strings Attached version of this So Long Marianne on our channel . . . Feedback is appreciated!

  • Leonard - jestes WIELKI.

  • El Maestro ¡¡¡

  • i'm seeing ron sexsmith. not leonard, but still brilliant.

  • Just wonderful, wish I had been there.

  • 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.

  • please, please, please, PLEASE come to Romania!

  • Celebrul cantaret canadian Leonard Cohen va sustine un concert la Bucuresti, pe 14 iulie, in cadrul noului sau turneu mondial

  • 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.

  • im seeking a couple of tickets to see this great singer/songwriter! i would willingly get cancer again if it meant seeing Lenny.

  • looking forward to singing along with Leonard Cohen in Dublin June 15th...

  • looking forward to singing along with Leonard Cohen in Dublin June 15th...

  • Stephen Page is one of the biggest tools in the world. Leonard Cohen, however, is one of the last living legends.

  • You cant buy this moment in time.
