I believe that's Bob Johnston who starts singing at 1:44

Yes, indeed it is Bob Johnston.

This video is incredible! Mr. Johnston is fantastic. I love Leonard Cohen and as someone earlier in this post said.."this is priceless".

[goback3spaces]

He looks like the actor Michael Murphy.

Waste of talent he didn't use that voice more often

Thank u so much for uploading this, my gpa is bob johnston, i like seeing him sing :)

[amberjohnston1989]

@sinnessjuk2 Thats so sweet. I keep telling him to make a record... the songs he writes are better than cohen's too in my opinion. :)

I think by hearing such a beautiful version of his own tune, Leonard was able to deal with the overall bad vibes of the concert...this is very touching footage, and you can feel and see the healing that is overtaking everyone.

I would love to have a studio recording of this song done this way, but I don't think it was meant to be that way.

Thanks for sharing this.
