Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during his triumphant 2008 world tour, 'Live in London' captures a master at the peak of his late-career renaissance. Over two and a half hours, Leonard Cohen delivers graceful and reverent performances of songs from across his storied career, his iconic baritone now a deep, resonant whisper. Backed by a masterful band, this album is a testament to his enduring power as a poet and performer.
