Leonard Cohen, Live Songs, 1973 on CBS

This was Leonard Cohen’s first released live album, on Columbia in the US but CBS in Europe. It was recorded in 1970 and 1972 (you can see the musicians and cities listed on the cover). The vocalist “Jennifer Warren” in the 1972 band would later be known as Jennifer Warnes who released a full album of Cohen covers called Famous Blue Raincoat.

The “Tonight Will be Fine” is from the Isle of Wight 1970, from which a DVD was later released. Fascinating era for Cohen who was a famously reluctant performer in the late 60s and early 70s.

My copy—via Wave Music in Budapest Hungary—is a later repressing with the “nice price” catalog code, likely between 1985 and 1991. On the CBS labels used in Europe.
