Movie Reviews of Live In London
Movie Review: Absolutely amazing performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this DVD presented on a PBS station. Even though they only played about one third of this DVD a few songs at a time with fund rising in between I knew that I had to get this DVD. The next day I went to Amazon.com and bought it. This is one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Leonard's performance is absolutely riveting. The reason for this I feel is the passion that he gives to the presentation of each song. On one song he doesn't even sing it; he recites it like poetry which it is. He is accompanied with a full band and backup singers which are all amazing artists and add to the performance if that is even possible. I have watched this DVD many times now and have not yet tired of it.Movie Review: It's Leonard Cohen!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD of Leonard's London concert last year is vintage Cohen, with old and new songs mixed together and a bit of humor thrown in here and there. His musicians are masters, and so is he. His voice is gravelly, but his three female backup singers smooth everything out. If you love Leonard and his music, you will love this DVD.
His current US and Canada tour is the same playlist as the London concert. The beauty of a DVD is that you are sitting in the front row and can see everything! But don't miss the concert in person, if you can get there. There is something about being live that can't be captured. But if you can't go, the DVD will almost put you there.
Movie Review: A great musician, a great man
Summary: 5 Stars
Leonard has been inducted into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame so there is no need to talk about his music and talent. The DVD allows us to see up close who Leonard the man is. His delight at singing for this crowd and his humility come through clearly. It isn't often that you have a chance to see a great human being this close while hearing the poetry from his heart. His songs allow you to intimately relate to him and to our own deeper nature, to our own true nature. If you enjoy Leonard's music this DVD adds an extra dimension, don't pass it up. The band is exceptional too and seeing them perform just adds frost to snow.Movie Review: Late Bloomer
Summary: 5 Stars
I had not heard of Leonard Cohen except by name therefore made a fantastic discovery while watching him on the PBS/ I bought the DVD of the same program and it is one of my all time favorites. He is very easy to listen to, his poetry is an powerful today as when he wrote it way back when. I learned more of him when I purchased a biography of him also. Getting cack to the DVD - the musicians on the disc are great too. Back up singers are very good and the audience was so enraptured with his manner as well. I highly reccommend this to anyone who loves the coming together of the musicians, the singers and the poetry/Movie Review: Ain't No Cure for Leonard Cohen 'cept to See this Video and Listen Like You Never Listened Before
Summary: 5 Stars
There's no way to improve on Leonard Cohen so I won't even try.
If you haven't seen this and listened to the material on it, you're really missing out. The man truly was "born with the gift of a golden voice..." and while there may not be "27 angels" in the band there are 3 lady angels and 6 guy angels playing along with him in just as divine a way as this guy does himself.
Rock on Leonard. Rock on.
And thanks for sharing your gift with all of us.
