Draftervoi says:

There are two regular releases of "The Best of the Columbia Records Radio Hour" but I've never seen CDs or cassettes of the original shows up for auction and it may be that most of these were released on reels and not pressed up as CDs.  
Enjoy! I certainly am!

The extraordinary German site DEEJAY.DE says:

The Future World Tour began in late April, 1993, in support of The Future, Cohen's 1992 album. It was the only tour Cohen would go on in a nearly 20 year period (1999-2007). Just prior to the first date of the tour, Cohen and his group recorded a live set at The Complex in Los Angeles, for a live radio broadcast. Including tracks from The Future as well as classics like "First We Take Manhattan", "Bird On A Wire", and "The Sisters Of Mercy", this live set is impeccably recorded and is one of the few available live documents of Mr. Cohen for all of the 1990s and into the late 2000s. A truly beautiful live set from the brilliant, beloved, and dearly missed Leonard Cohen.
