Review

Billboard (p.37) - "[T]hese 26 tunes, delivered in his steady rumbling baritone, may have never sounded better, certainly not in one place on one special night."

Recording information: O2 Arena, London England; The O2 Arena, London.

After taking a decade-and-a-half vacation from live performance, septuagenarian singer/songwriter/saint Leonard Cohen returned to the stage in 2008 for a European tour. During his absence, his popularity had grown to such a degree that his London concert took place at the city's O2 Arena. With the gathered masses sounding suitably enraptured, Cohen can be heard delivering a long program that serves as both career summary and mission reiteration on this double-length live album (FYI, there's also a DVD companion release).

Amazingly, Cohen sounds even more vital and intense than the last time he strode the boards, back in the mid-'90s. For all the high-powered cover versions over the years, his cavernously deep voice remains the most effective instrument for delivering his poetic incantations, looming large over a subtle, sympathetic band. He invests '60s classics like "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire" with new energy, underlining their continued relevance, while establishing a place in the canon for latter-day gems like "Anthem" and "Democracy," all the while punctuating his performance with carefully placed quips that show his trademark black humor to be in full effect.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE

On March 31, 2009, Leonard Cohen will release Live In London, his first new recording since 2004’s gold-certified Dear Heather. This DVD and 2 CD collection presents the historic performance of 25 classics drawn from Leonard Cohen’s 40-year repertory, including such favorites as “Hallelujah,” “Everybody Knows” and “Suzanne.” Live In London was recorded live on July 17, 2008 at London’s 02 Arena, and fully captures and recreates the songwriting legend’s extraordinary return to the stage on his first tour in 15 years. Quickly recognized as musical folklore in the making, 29 of the original dates sold out almost immediately, leaving fans and critics alike hailing the show as a once in a lifetime experience. By popular demand, the Canadian/UK tour was extended and by the end of that year it had reached 84 markets worldwide, selling more than 700,000 tickets and earning Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews.
