(BlogCritics) - ...It wasn't until something like two in
the morning when Leonard Cohen finally headed to the stage,
and in spite of the crowd's ire and impatience he didn't
rush. Watching him stare out into the darkness, unshaven,

Murray Lerner's film of the event � part of the two disc
DVD/CD package "Leonard Cohen Live At The Isle Of Wight
1970" (Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/CohenIsleWight ) being
released on October 20th/09 by Legacy Recordings and
Columbia Records � you feel a moment of fear that the crowd
will tear him to pieces. Then he launches into "Bird On The
Wire" and you can almost hear them settling into the palm
of his hand...

The Isle Of Wight package appears interesting. Thanks for telling us
about the release of the Recordings
like a bird on the wire...
like a countdown through the mire
i have tried on my way to be free
Them lyrics that jumped on board
ready for the download
translation unknown
'm inclined to optimism
just for its own sake
unit of one called & calling

Thanks for posting about this. I purchased it last night at Borders
Books and watched the DVD when I got home. It's an excellent record of
Leonard's early years. A must have item! :)
