LEONARD COHEN TRIBUTE
Montreal, QC -- G. M. Stage
'Festival International de Jazz de Montreal'
2008-06-26 --
Attended the Katie Melua show which ended immediately before this began. Had to hurry and the
best spot I could find was about 500m from the stage at the second repeating speaker. Missed
the host intro and the start of track 01. Nearly constant low-level chatter from passers-by
detract somewhat from an otherwise very acceptable recording.

Cohen is presently on tour. The shows are phenominal, inspiring; the man is in perfect voice
and has the energy of a thirty-year-old. Do take advantage of a lifetime oportunity and see
one or more performances.
