Release Notes:
--------
Nearly 40 summers ago on August 31, 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened
at 2 a.m. 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 sidestage in awe as the
Canadian folksinger-songwriter-poet-novelist quietly tamed the crowd. Academy
Award-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner (From Mao To Mozart, Festival,
Message To Love), perfectly captured Cohen's performance. Likewise, Columbia
Records staff A&R producer Teo Macero did a brilliant job of supervising the
live audio recording.
This CD/DVD package contains the new, beautiful film documentary by Lerner
featuring interviews with fellow festival performers, as well as Cohen's full
performance on CD. All tracks are previously unreleased (sans bits of "Suzanne"
which were featured in the documentary Message to Love, also by Lerner).
Included are 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.
