PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN KURZBESCHREIBUNG This double LP contains Cohen's entire performance on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. All tracks are previously unreleased (sans bits of "Suzanne" which were featured in the documentary Message to Love). Included are live versions of classic songs from the first two Leonard Cohen LPs: "So Long, Marianne," "The Stranger Song," "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye," "Suzanne," "Bird on the Wire," "You Know Who I Am," and "The Partisan" as well as spoken word and poetry. BIOGRAPHIE DER MITWIRKENDEN Over 40 summers ago on August 31, 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened at 2 a.m. from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with his band at the 3rd annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience of 600,000 was in a fiery and frenzied mood, after turning the festival into a political arena, trampling the fences, setting fire to structures and equipment and stoked by the most incendiary performance of Jimi Hendrix's career, less than three weeks before his death. As Cohen followed Hendrix's set, onlookers (and fellow festival headliners) Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Judy Collins and others stood sidestage in awe as the Canadian folksinger-songwriter-poet-novelist quietly tamed the crowd.
