Leonard Cohen @ Roskilde 1988 (1) - Dance Me to the End of Love

"Leonard Cohen Live Fra Roskilde Festival '88"

Opening of the show with "Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Until 2008/2009 Leonard Cohen was very rarely giving the open air shows (only couple in Summer of 1988 and 1993). This clip shows him on wave of his new 1988 popularity, overwhelmed by the screaming welcome from new & young audience at then-very-hip open-air festival in Roskilde, Denmark, July 2, 1988.

Singers: Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen
Violin: Bobby Furgo

Setlist of the TV broadcast was:

1. Dance Me To The End Of Love
2. Everybody Knows
3. First We Take Manhattan
4. Take This Waltz
5. Hallelujah
6. Suzanne

Leonard looks like he's really enjoying this performance :) I am going to see him in the open air this evening (MBW), I hope he enjoys it as much, despite the rain...
