Leonard Cohen - Diamonds in the Mine (live performance 1985)

[pbalwaysinformed]

great guitar solo!

[dickysipper]

as yet another 17 year old kid, i too prefer the album version..... the lyrics are delivered with much more aggression, and i too enjoy the female backing singers...however, in saying that, im yet to hear a Cohen performance that wasn't absolutely incredible

im a 56 year old kid?and mr cohen could recite the phone book +make it sound good,.,.

[estherzohar]

Leonard cohen is a great kabbalist

@estherzohar so why didnt he work on curing his alcoholism???? fools...

I have a live version of this with the added verse from 1985 in Montreaux and I also believe from Iceland in 1988. I like this version a bit better than the album version myself.

Love the guitar solo in this version :o)

[Eagleray99]

This is just terrific and I much prefer this version to the one on the album: he really improved the lyrics, in my opinion.

Thanks for posting!

i would have to disagree, this is a great rendition of the song but the album version just seems to come across much stronger to me. but that is just the opinion of a 17 year old kid. plus i love the female backing vocals on it.

[Eagleray99]

Your opinion is as valid as mine (if not more so!). It may be that this is new to me whilst I have been listening to the other one for a long time.

It is great that youth appreciates the great man and not just the "Music-was-better-in-my-day" mob. :o)

[uktransplantedyank]

I like the original better, but this one isn't too bad.

[plasterofparisify]

hey I agree as a 26yr old kid.

the album version is AMAZING!
