Instead of breaking apart the show into individual songs, I uploaded this Austin City Limits broadcast in its entirety. Perhaps I will upload the songs as separate videos at some other time.

The set list:

1) First We Take Manhattan
2) Tower of Song
3) Everybody Knows
4) Ain't No Cure For Love
5) The Partisan
6) Joan of Arc
7) Jazz Police
8) If It Be Your Will
9) Take This Waltz

  • Now I can finally throw away that grainy, snowy VHS I taped off the air 24 years ago.  Thanks!

  • @jwsaxe Haha I bet you've been holding onto that tape like it was the cure for a rare disease...I wouldn't toss it away - just in case - but at least now you don't have to submit it to anymore wear & tear...

  • WOW! Thanks so much for this upload!

    It was wonderful!

    I'm a huge Leonard Cohen fan and member of lcforum also.

  • @peudechose06 The forum is a fantastic community. It truly is a wonderful group of people over there.

  • My father saw this broadcast and never saw Leonard again until 2 years ago when he heard me playing him. We reveled in a common love of a wonderful artist. Dad passed away a umber of days ago, and it means a lot to have a complete copy of this broadcast!

  • @BushWomanOtter I'm so sorry to hear that your father passed. I'm glad you are able to watch this video and remember your father. I only wish that I uploaded it sooner, perhaps you two could have shared a viewing together...

see all

  • That oud!!

  • Thank you! I have treasured an audio cassette of this since it was first broadcast. Thank you!

  • that voice.. so resonant

  • A couple of weeks ago, by chance, I heard "Take this Waltz" for the very first time and discovered the voicies of Miss Christensen and Battala. What a delight to see and hear the three of them in such outstanding quality, thanks to you. My sincerest regards to you,

  • peudechose06 's comment raises an idea for YOUTUBE. Create a WOW button and perhaps a WOW plus icon. Can't believe only 3,600 plus have seen this. I too have an '88 VHS of same. It won't be tossed for any reason.

  • I love this concert! There was just something magical about this one that seperated it from all his other live concerts I've seen on film. Thank you!

  • This is beautiful. Thank you so much. Leonards the man!!
