Editorial Review:
For over four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power - he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. But those questions, and the journey he has traveled in seeking to address them, are the ever-shifting substance of his work, as well as the reasons why his songs never lose their overwhelming emotional force. Documentaries, awards, tribute albums and the ongoing march of artists eager to record his songs all acknowledge the peerless contribution Cohen has made to what one of his titles aptly calls "The Tower of Song."
In 2008 Leonard Cohen embarked 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. The Live In London release fully captures and recreates the extraordinary show from that tour that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for his performances.
Live In London Reviews:
Leonard Cohen "Live in London" CD 
2009-11-03 - Very good seller, excellent service. The CD was bought after buying the DVD of the same concert....we wanted something we could play in the car. The quality of the CD is very good and we would recommend this concert to most everyone.
You're my man.
2009-10-28 - LC touched my fancy 30 yrs ago: LC captures my soul 30 years hence. I attended his sublime concert in LA not long ago. Live in London refreshes the experience. I send my profound thank you to the tower of song.

Leonard Cohen Live review
2009-10-23 - I am so glad I saw the end of the PBS broadcast of Leonard Cohen Live in London a few weeks ago. If not, I would not have known about his new set of CD's & it is truly worth knowing about. There are two CD's in the performance & they cover most of his best songs with excellent background singers & musicians. I enjoyed them so much that I bought a set for a friend who is also a Leonard Cohen fan. The sounds are haunting. The set is supurb. Thank you Lenny.
C.D. Review
2009-10-19 - I love music. I saw this concert on t.v. I had never even heard of Leonard Cohen before. This is awesome. Unique and very well done. Check out his website if you have not heard him, I think this is fabulous, and I am thrilled with the quality of these C.D.'s.
