We’re #24, We’re #24, We’re #24, Yep, DrHGuy has been whipped into a self-congratulatory frenzy by the news that “The 50 Greatest Bootlegs,” the cover story in the most recent UNCUT magazine (Issue 174 November 2011), lists The Other Leonard Cohen Album, the Heck Of A Guy compilation of unpublished Leonard Cohen songs, at #24. And, DrHGuy cannot resist pointing out, this ranking is further attestation to the high value musically knowledgeable individuals (as well as DrHGuy) place on Leonard Cohen’s performances – even when those performances fail to meet the Canadian singer-songwriter’s criteria for releasing tracks to the public. Update: The review of The Other Leonard Cohen Album as well as the complete list of the 50 Greatest Bootlegs published in Uncut magazine (Issue 174 November 2011) can now be viewed.“The Other Leonard Cohen Album” fits quite comfortably, thank you, just below 23.

Van Morrison – Van The Man and just above 25. Blur – Parklife Deluxe Bootleg. See The Other Leonard Cohen Album Given that The Other Leonard Cohen Album was first posted in January 2010, the most appropriate celebration of this event would seem to be a recapitulation of the contents of the bootleg and the directions for downloading for those readers who may have joined our merry band too recently to be aware of this compilation. The Other Songs Of Leonard Cohen (aka The Other Leonard Cohen Album), is a collection of hitherto unreleased Cohen songs, DrHGuy constructed rather than nag the Jeremiah Of Tin Pan Alley to complete that new album that is now due in Spring 2012. Leonard Cohen Book Of Longing NPR Interview The May 27, 2006 NPR episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross features an interview with Leonard Cohen, focusing on his “Book Of Longing.” Included in this 45 minute program are Leonard Cohen reading his poems, explaining the significance of Boogie Street, discussing the loss of his retirement fund, describing life at the Mount Baldy Zen Center, distinguishing between poems that “lie gracefully on the page” and poems that are meant to be sung, and, yes, much, much more. The interview can be heard on the player embedded below or downloaded as an MP3 file. (Note: Two poems recited during this interview, “Thousands” & “Mission,” have been excerpted into a.)

Leonard Cohen At The BBC – Paying Rent In The Tower Of Babel In 1968, just one year after Songs Of Leonard Cohen, the artist’s first album, was released, four BBC broadcasts carried Leonard Cohen performances taped live for those programs. Since then, these important and relatively high quality recordings have been periodically rediscovered to the delight of new fans. In the ensuing 45 years, however, the zeal of Cohen fans, technological advances, and irresistible commercial dynamics have combined to produce numerous versions of these songs in various combinations and permutations, subjected to a number of editing and engineering tweaks, and distributed on multiple media, inevitably leading to confusion.

Today’s post is an effort to bring some clarity to the situation. Leonard Cohen’s 1968 BBC Broadcasts The 1968 Leonard Cohen BBC broadcasts follow: 1. Two songs recorded and broadcast on BBC2 TV’s Once More With Felix in Dec 1967 1. The Stranger Song 2. Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye (Duet with Julie Felix) 2. Four Leonard Cohen songs recorded at BBC Piccadilly Studio 1 and broadcast on the July 9, 1968 BBC Radio 1 program, Top Gear with John Peel: 1.

You Know Who I Am 2. Bird On The Wire 3. Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye 4.

Dress Rehearsal Rag 3. Thirteen songs were recorded Spring 1968 at the Paris Theatre, London and broadcast by BBC2 TV under the title ”Leonard Cohen Sings Leonard Cohen.” Five of these were broadcast on August 31, 1968: 1. You Know Who I Am 2. Bird On The Wire 3. The Stranger Song 4.

So Long Marianne 5. Master Song Eight others were broadcast September 7, 1968: 1. There’s No Reason Why You Should Remember Me [improvisation] 2. Sisters Of Mercy 3. Dress Rehearsal Rag 5.

Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye 7. Story Of Isaac 8.

One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong The Standard Distributions Many of these songs an be found alone. The duet with Julie Felix, for example, is a fairly popular standalone YouTube video, no doubt because the visual as well as audio components of the recording are available. • Available at [].

Because I may not know music, but I know what you should like and where to find it Note: Originally posted Jun 10, 2011 at 1HeckOfAGuy.com, the predecessor of Cohencentric High Quality Recording Of A World Tour Concert That Made The Audience & Leonard Cohen Happy Leonard Cohen’s beaming aspect at this show resulted in this heading appearing in a: Happiness Is Opening Your Concert In Vancouver – If These Photos Of Leonard Cohen Are Indicative The Leonard Cohen 2010 Vancouver Concert was indeed lauded not only by fans but also by critics. The sentiments in this excerpt from by Marsha Lederman (Globe and Mail Friday, Dec.

03, 2010) are representative: In his trademark fedora, dark suit and bolo tie, Cohen offered his lyrical take on the facts of life: holy doves moving, events at the Chelsea Hotel on an unmade bed. Often on his knees, eyes closed, hand held up to his face, Cohen filled the arena with gravelly strains of aural sex. If he ached in the places where he used to play, he had the audience fooled. But never did Cohen appear to be mailing it in.

The guy put the “pro” in “profound,” performing songs he has sung hundreds – thousands – of times with a vigour so genuine that they never felt tired. The recording was the work of seth01 (Seth Meister), who explains one lesser known reason for the quality of the taping: I was very, very concerned about going to this show and almost didn’t buy the very expensive tickets as I couldn’t see how the sound quality would possibly be any good in such a large venue with this type of a musician.

A friend of mine had seen Cohen in this very venue a year previous and told me that it was one of the best shows he had ever seen. I respected his opinion highly as he’s an avid live music fan with a lot of experience. Well, little did I know that Mark Vreeken (the long time soundman for the iconic Canadian band The Tragically Hip) was doing sound for this show.

I thought he had retired but apparently was coaxed out of retirement by Cohen to do one more tour and how could he resist? If I had known I wouldn’t have doubted for an instance. Cohen and Vreeken make for a perfect symbiotic relationship and it all culminates in my tape for your enjoyment.
