Leonard Cohen - Royal Albert Hall, London, Britain, 5-10-1970 (NEW TO PUBLIC CIRCULATION!) : Albums That Should Exist

Leonard Cohen - Royal Albert Hall 1970 - Albums That Should Exist


Speaking of The Royal Albert Hall! . . . .there’s this


Paul who got quite excited says:

WHOA! I don't think I've ever been more excited to post an album than this one. If you're a Leonard Cohen fan at all, this is a must have. I think it's his best concert recording, and for all intents and purposes it's been unavailable to the public until now.” read the rest of Paul’s copious notes at the link (above)


Update:
It is worth noting and explaining Paul’s excitement at this as it is REALLY great QUALITY!
Highly listeanble and remastered so that you night almost be stage-side! Extraordinary! Rarely have I heard a 1970 recording SO well done. There is a point that some folks noted the crowd chat and comments from Leonard are from another concert entirely and folk have objected. I find this extraordinary as Paul has separately identified them isolated them and all you need do is delete all the chat tracks and you have the entire concert tracks to enjoy!! Imagine going through the recording master to isolate all the stage chatter and edit them down like this!? I wouldn’t! Otherwise I found it FUN to reflect upon the master’s engagement with an audience . If you don’t care for them, then cut them. It isn’t rocket salad!

This album is an hour and 44 minutes long.
