An Enchanting Evening

Live in Dublin (3 CDs + DVD) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

This is not the first live recording of Leonard Cohen, but perhaps the last. So reluctantly we want to admit that he is not the youngest.
Holding this concert, what the announcement of CD and DVD Box promises: Cohen and his musicians give everything without casting a glance at the large clock on the edge of the stage. From old songs to new material reaches the bandwidth, which I Come Healing and Anyhow, for example have fallen considerably better than on the studio CD.
Now tends Cohen, unlike Dylan, not to experiment and rearrange at every performance -, you know So come along in which turned each song. Nevertheless, you can feel and hear just in this recording that still prevails not stubborn routine. The songs are, so to speak lived, not sung. Lived with body and soul. Of course you do not listen to such music nebenbai while driving or cooking, or as background music for the coffee table ... but with tranquility and quality possible investment. So is the enjoyment of the DVD or the three CDs, if you want to embark on an enchanting evening, in which you will be amazed in the end how much time has passed. How the fly.
Of the previously released live recordings this is clearly my favorite. Thumbs up - and down with headphones for the next Listen.
