LEONARD COHEN Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970 (2009 UK BLU-RAY DISC [playable on
Blu-Ray players and Playstation 3 consoles only] - Early, 40 summers
ago on August 31st 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened
at 2am from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with
his band at the third annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience
of 600,000 was in a fiery and frenzied mood, after turning the festival
into a political arena, trampling the fences, setting fire to structures
and equipment – and stoked by the most incendiary performance of
Jimi Hendrix's career. As Cohen followed Hendrix's set, onlookers
[and fellow festival headliners] Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Judy
Collins and others stood side stage in awe as the Canadian folksinger
songwriter-poet-novelist quietly tamed the crowd. Academy
Award-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner, whose footage
of the 1970 festival did not begin to see release until 1995, was able
to capture Cohen's performance. This disc contains the new
documentary by Lerner and the full performance, including live
versions of classic songs from the first two Leonard Cohen LPs: 'So
Long, Marianne', 'The Stranger Song', 'Hey, That's No Way To Say
Goodbye', 'Suzanne', 'Bird On The Wire', 'You Know Who I Am', and
'The Partisan' as well as spoken word and poetry).
