I'm glad I met LC personally before his Gig in Nuremberg in 1979. He was very kind, polite and we had a good conversation. At that time I was 21 and I wrote songs and poetry. He organized a backstage VIP pass for me and after the show he encouraged me to keep on writing poetry and songs. One year later I published my first book of poetry. In this way LC influenced me a lot, like no other artist. I'm so glad he kept on singing for a long time. Thank very much, Mr. Cohen.
@@Blinki18284 Hi, "Schöne Aussichten", erschienen 1980 im Selbstverlag, Vertrieb in der Schweiz durch Roman Wild Buchhandel und in Deutschland durch den Fehldruckverlag Hannover. Drei weitere Gedichtbände folgten (nicht mehr erhältlich). Mein Roman "Base on Balls" von 2018 ist noch über Amazon verfügbar (der erste authentische deutschsprachige Roman über Baseball).
Wow! This doco was powerful. I believe we got to see the soul of Leonard at the end. His integrity, humanity, love. I have even more respect for him now, after watching this. I remember seeing how he would shave whenever he was anxious, almost needing to centre himself. Just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this documentary online for us all to see it. 🫶🫶🫶
The one man who reminds me so much of my beloved father when I was a child is Leonard Cohen. The hair, the eyes, even the nose. Dad was the Spanish (roots in Sevilla) version. To this day every time I listen to or see Leonard Cohen, I think of him. My old man was just as complex as Cohen. And maybe I am drawn to Cohen's work so I may sort out those parental leftovers from the past (which no one is immune to). This is a comforting but jarring watch. Kind, gentle, yet conflicting and in your face, stubborn and a bit vain. I miss them both. Perhaps they are somewhere in the Universe drinking Sangria, getting sloppy and jamming together while the sun slowly sets.
I discovered Leonard Cohen four years ago. And I must say that it was wonderful discovering! Leonard was absolutely genius in poetry, in music and in life. Beautiful, humble, wise man. I love him!❤
You will have an ongoing opportunity to learn more about LC. He is absolutely a wonderful poet, author, musician and anything else he chooses to be. I'm sure you will find it a great journey of inspiration and joy!
I discovered Leonard Cohen in--what?--1969 in Toronto. This film brings that time all back to me. A time full of joy and, then, heartache. I've read his novels and his poems. I even still have his first album unsigned by him unfortunately. Montreal was the scene of so much creativity and turmoil, right?
He is the reason why i bought a classical guitar back 1973 after i heard the song suzzane & boy he left a legacy behind up there in his tower of song ey !
la plus belle période de toute l'histoire de l'humanité, la plus belle car les jeunes se sentaient libre, ils vivaient d'amour et de liberté. Choses qu'aujourd'hui nous avons tous perdus. Tous, et c,est mondial. Les riches de ce monde ont détruit notre liberté, et l'amour! Après cette courte période de l'humanité nous avons étés privés de notre liberté et l'amour n'existe plus, nous sommes devenus leurs esclaves sans ames qui ne connaitrons plus ce que les mots Liberté et Amour signifient. L'Humanité entière est morte. Merci Cohen d'avoir exister, je te porte toujours dans mon coeur, aussi fort que dans ces temps merveilleux!
@@susancarolan153 I was listening to a French-Canadian commentator in Toronto on the French radio station there, CJBC in about 1979. She said something stupid like, "Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal, but I don't think he lived there for very long." Two Solitudes in action, right? Leonard Cohen was more popular in France than in his home town. A friend of mine who I met in Montreal in 1975 told me that Leonard Cohen was so popular in France that someone could put on a concert and make money by just singing his songs. He was virtually unknown in Montreal's French quarter at that time.
Lenny and I go all the way back to the Sixties. I have climbed Mount Royal and looked down on the city that is the setting of his novel "Beautiful Losers."

MAJOR DISCLAIMER !!!! there is some really traumatizing footage of war crimes from 41:20 til 42:45, i loved all of this documentary except for this really unnecessary trauma on screen, really shameful to include this in what is otherwise a really beautiful portrait of leonard.

That's a beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing it

You, lucky one!

So many poems and songs floating in the universe from this great man
what a beautiful Soul, he is still touching our minds. Love, Love Lover 🕊

A world without Leonard Cohen in it is a much poorer place. ❤
Miss Leonard Cohen in the world although he checked out with his perfect timing.
@@chrisegginton3092yes, before Trump was elected for the first time.
@@lcbrittainif Leonard is looking down at the world now, he will be devastated….
@@chrisegginton3092❤
❤
These books of poetry will never be closed from balconies of your words of the agonies of split waters for peace.
🙏♥️🌍🌎🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵✨️💫✨️💫✨️
His poetry has always spoken to me from the 70,s until today
How to turn a string of failures into a demonstration of high class artisry. Totally amazing, from Cohen and the filmmaker.
2024 i just watched this docu..thank you for posting...love LC❤
Thank you very much for publishing this video......Grazie....❤
This is an amazing film - a must see for Leonard fans.
Leonard Cohen is my ultimate favorite singer of western world. ❤
Even Paul Stanley of KISS, in his book Backstage Pass complimented Leonard. And it's great to see legendary producer Bob Johnston performing here.
This brought me to a pinnacle of ecstasy and left me in the swamp of despair... Or was it vice versa?
Thank you!
I have been looking for this for so long! Eternally Grateful!!
Seine songs kann man immer und jederzeit hören. Danke leonard.

I don't care what my preacher said it is annointed songs
This was great. It made me want to smoke for the first time in memory, but it was great.
Smoke what, is the question?
Thanks for the upload.
Lenny and I go all the way back to the Sixties. I have climbed Mount Royal and looked down on the city that is the setting of his novel "Beautiful Losers."
Brilliant. Thank You
This was a beautiful thing to watch!
Thanks for uploading this!❤ 🇨🇦 🍁

Imagine flying on a plane and Leonard Cohen sitting next to you. 🥰
@fossil0000 That shooting helped hasten the end of the Vietnam War, which had already gone on for far too long. War is always brutal and ugly.
MAJOR DISCLAIMER !!!! there is some really traumatizing footage of war crimes from 41:20 til 42:45,
i loved all of this documentary except for this really unnecessary trauma on screen, really shameful to include this in what is otherwise a really beautiful portrait of leonard.
Yes, that was very unnecessary! Horrible!
Man of magic ❤
So security was assaulting the audience members? Right? Not far removed from what took place at Altamont..without the deaths..
man alive ,,,those two girls beat all the modern screamers n groaners into the dust.
Jennifer Warnes has had a long and distinguished career as a singer.
Just strange that they added punching sounds to the opening scene.

Πρέπει να επιλέξετε από την ενότητα αυτόματης μετάφρασης την γλώσσα σας.
Εγώ είμαι άτυχος γιατί Παρ όλο που το έχω ζητήσει πριν από πολύ καιρό σε ελάχιστα βίντεο υπάρχει η γλώσσα μου τα ελληνικά.
Αλλά απ' ότι έχω διαπιστώσει επειδή το κανάλι έχει συνεργασία με πολλούς παραγωγούς βίντεο όπου είναι στην διακριτική τους ευχέρεια πόσες γλώσσες θα συμπεριληφθούν στην αυτόματη μετάφραση.
