LEONARD COHEN
Zenith Nantes Metropole
Nantes
France
6th July 2009

Audience recording I have received on CDR, exact lineage unknown. Thanks to the original taper and to the kind gentleman who passed this to me for upload on DIME. I am not aware of any LC recording from Nantes 2009, previously circulating or uploaded.

I have made a few small adjustments to the files as received: slight shift of balance (1.9) from left to RH, take out a bit of the middle range to reduce echo, move the track edits to the beginning of the tracks, and slightly boost the stereo effect. These were all done in Audio Cleaning Lab. >TLH Flac 16bit.

Please note that there is a strange fade in on most of the tracks, slightly odd but it does not detract from what is basically a very good recording. It should also be noted that the last two song are missing, 'I tried to Leave You', and 'Whither Thou Goest'
