Leonard, Leonard, Leonard….never too much Leonard. This is the 6th or 7th live album release for his endless world tour, which would seem a bit much- if everyone one of them was not a tour de force. Leonard sings in French here, he tells little funny stories, he sings the blues…what a mensch. Is he not the world’s favorite octogenarian? And the band has no parallel for touring bands, including the great, great Javier Mas, on all things stringed. The set here is actually all from sounds checks in pre-concert, but you’d never know it; almost all the songs are ones that have not before appeared on the recent live albums and some are new, but wait until you hear this blues- out version of the “Tower of Song” Just go get it- it’s Leonard Cohen!
