Leonard Cohen - Live at the Isle of Wight 1970

Just listened to this for the first time the other day.  It blew me away!




Modern sound engineering has gotten to the point where they can make live recordings sound just totally awesome and that is what they have done on this special live album.




There is so much that is good about this record.  Leonard Cohens voice sounds really cool and deep on here.  It sounds way better to me then on his actual studio recordings from this time period of the late '60s and early '70s.

The band is no slouch either, and the female back up singers are a welcome addition to Cohens songs when played live.
