At the store today, I found Cohen's Live in London, recorded July 17th 2008. The track listing goes right along with your review, great double album. I can't imagine what it would be like to have been there, the man can absolutely captive his audience. Love the review. At the store today, I found Cohen's Live in London, recorded July 17th 2008.
