Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen - Joan of Arc

this is not jennifer warnes indeed, but julie christensen. recorded at o'keefe center, toronto, june 17, 1993

This is not Jennifer Warnes. It's either Perla Batalla or Julie Christensen who sang with LC on the I'm Your Man tour.

I have never heard this performance before, just glorious! They both have such unique and amazing voices..together is almost to much.

@mmedefarge: ...by popular demand and to flatter France; if the church would have considered her to be a saint she would have either be not condemned to death by a church court or made a saint immediately after her rehabilitation.

If as you say, Jeanne d'Arc had no passion for what she was doing politically or for religion but was merely "having fun while fighting", that would truly reduce her to nothing but a pathological figure worthy of not more than a footnote in history. If what you say is true, her status as a saint should be rescinded.

@mmedefarge: You know very little about history and especially the history of France do you? Jeanne is an immortal hero of France because she defended France from the invading English, much like Charles Martell did repulse the Saracens; and she had no passions but believes and convictions; though one does not know if she did believe in her voices or if she just made them up to command the French armies; anyway: She was made a saint 500 years after her death...

Joan is a mix of myth, legend and fact, but the facts we know about her betrayal and death by so called Christians makes me cry just to think about it. Raped, tortured, and burnt alive in front of a crown none of whom could do a thing to save her. She faced her death with courage until her flesh was actually burning, when the crowd heard her final screams of agony. Go read some bios, esp the one by by Vita Sackville West.

I've no doubt that what you say about her death is probably true. The middle ages were one time in history in which I would never have wanted to live, truly a terrible time to have been alive.

"For Themistocles was a man who exhibited the most indubitable signs of genius; indeed, in this particular he has a claim on our admiration quite extraordinary and unparalleled. By his own native capacity, alike unformed and unsupplemented by study, he was at once the best judge in those sudden crises which admit of little or of no deliberation, and the best prophet of the future, even to its most distant possibilities. An able theoretical expositor of all that came within the sphere..."

"...of his practice, he was not without the power of passing an adequate judgment in matters in which he had no experience. He could also excellently divine the good and evil which lay hid in the unseen future. In fine, whether we consider the extent of his natural powers, or the slightness of his application, this extraordinary man must be allowed to have surpassed all others in the faculty of intuitively meeting an emergency." - anyway: Jeanne signed her later letters herself and so...
