Leonard Cohen live in San Sebastian 1.988

[uluairi]

Esta canción, en Euskadi, en aquellos años, significó más de lo que parece. Hoy digo: viva la paz.

[darkmajorgd]

C'est superbe M. Léonard Cohen ! Quant à la partition de l'instrument à cordes... on touche au sublime.

[MamenSMG]

Fantástico concierto en Donosti!!

GOD SAVE LEONARD...FROM SPAIN

Auch drei Jahre später hat die Aufnahme nichts von ihrer Faszination eingebuesst . . .

[navarro4315]

ESTA CANCION SE LA DEDICARIA A DON ALEJO GARZA, SI EN MEJICO HUBIERA MAS HOMBRES, LUCHARIAN CONTRA LA GENTUZA QUE LES INVADE EL ALMA.

[rruisanc2]

Es ciertamente un descubrimiento por el acompañamiento. Siempre me emocionó The Partisan, pero esta versión tiene algo más. Quizá estar interpretada cerca. Hay trozos mal subtitulados en castellano

Oh, how I am looking forward to seeing him on stage in Austria next month. Couldn't wish for anything better in the way of a musical treat.

La Luth est lancinante...

[alainbouhez]

What a divine surprise!

[catfromkamui]

UN GENIO!

[JNL1974]

Je les ai tous écoutés, les ''partisans'' celui-ci est de loin le meilleur. Sa voix est parfaite, les musiciens géniaux. Et bien sur le sujet poignant...

[carlosnazare]

UN SONHO.......

[laventouse31]

MAGNIFIQUE !

[litzi747]

[RRFBINH]

[gabofranco]

Simplemente EXTRAORDINARIO!!!!

[realoviedo2]

Uno de los grandes, sin duda. Espero verlo en Julio en León

[mountainmmama]

L.C. IS SO SEXY!!!!

[elpaiazo]

great,great,great

[crussaito51]

Ya quedan pocos poetas como Leonard Cohen y musicos como Ian Anderson disfrutemos asta el final con ellos como com un buen vino

[tresk76]

La primera vez que te escuché tenía 14 años y me impresionó tu voz. Sencillamente esta canción es GENIAL.

[nobisdatus]

Mis primos me contarón que estuviste

enorme MAESTRO

[grckica]

Will freedom could sing as the prisoners sing to her?

[clonarovna]

Hamas? I dont think Lenny is on the side of Islamic fanatics lobbing rockets at israeli civillians....His song Field Commander Cohen is about his time in Israel

[patrickspoint]

Maybe Hamas should adopt this song.

[menorca1571]

¡Maravilloso siempre Leonard Cohen!

[papurretas]

Grande, Cohen!

[Newsteadgamer56]

LC has been a favorite of mine since I was 16 years old. I'm now 55 & still he never disappoints.

[cigabite]

He played this one als in teh last tour this year. as good as ever, if not better.

He is a giant

[mountainmmama]

LOVE LENOARD COHEN!!!

[plesmond]

What an excellent song to begin with and a fantastic version. We should encourage school children to learn this song which does such a good job of expressing the horrors of the Nazi menace that tried to destroy France and also the spirit of the resistance and allies!

[harrieke20]

dit is echt zoooo goed

fantastic

[hattyro]

Who is Leonard Cohen?

For a moment I was thought he is the voice of God, but my heart war running away!

But for sure the God touch him and he touch my soul. What a genial move. Viva forever!

[Teis9574]

The singer is Leonard Cohen :).

[manogomba]

Hogy micsoda nagyszerű ez a dala Leonard-nak! Fantasztikus, csodálatos, a legmagasabb fokon tudok róla beszélni. Minden tisztelet és elismerés az ilyen nagy művésznek. Bravó Leonard Cohen !!

[MMM510]

Magic! Incredible performance. Thanks so much for posting.

[jackdonkey22]

in the Austin City Limits of this song he nods his head at the oud player before one of the soloy parts and after watching and one other one on youtube here I'm guessing he pretty much had to cause the man kept trying to jump in in the wrong spot, I'm no oud expert but he seems pretty damn good at playing it.

[carlosasnazario]

dá gosto,..................

[OsvaldoPaese]

thanks for posting this great performance. Much appreciated. I never heard this live.

[matomania]

frontiers are my prison! Los pelos de punta se me ponen

[zoarces]

this is magic.

[juliof59]

gran cancion

[jennjuniper1952]

think he would have made a great actor as well as poet musician he has so much charisma maybe he would have made a good politician,but hell bet he's a good lover ha ha

[impasse13]

freedom soon will come.then w'll come from the shadow.

[skerrywall]

Wonderfully evocative & lyrical rendition of this song...still gives me chills after all these years.

[skerrywall]

wonderfully evocative & lyrical rendition of theis song...still gives me chills after all these years! ...translation of French verse: Translation of the french part: The germans were at my place They said, sign yourself, But I am not afraid I (re-)took my weapon. I have changed my name a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of france An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The germans captured him He died without surprise... ]

[Rugrat88]

I think this is my favourite clip of Leonard Cohen on YouTube...magic indeed! At the end of the song, I bet he's thinking on what bliss it must be to have such wonderful musicians and back-up singers perform with him...looks like he's standing there just savouring the moment.

[egernbarnet]

this is a fantastic clip of a totally magic artist... - he is fantastic... - the closest you come to a man who gives you peace, harmony and tranquility in your inner soul....

[creasybearman]

Brilliant has any one got clip of So Long Marianne from this concert if so please show

[yanorp]

Phantastic! Just about the best LC live performance I can imagine, with phantastic "instrumentos de cuerda" ("stringed instruments" says my dictionary). Is the oval "guitar" a lute?

[prialc]

World Renowned Oudist & Composer

John Bilezikjian is "America's Oud Virtuoso". Mr. Bilezikjian may be the most prominent Oudist of his generation. He is a master Oudist who has elevated this instrument to the concert stage as well as continues to perform as a folk musician. He has performed for some 46 years on this ancient eleven stringed Persian fretless instrument dating back some 2,000 years. The Oud is performed with an eagle's quill.

[yanorp]

Sorry & thank you -- I hadn't seen you posting.

[yanorp]

I found out in the meantime. The instrument is an "oud" belonging to the family of lutes. A google search with wiki & oud brings the first hit. The virtuoso, btw, is John Bilezikjian --> dantzrecords dot com

[annafrancesca1]

What a brilliant performance of LC and the musicians! Thanks for sharing!
