Reviewby Gautam Baksi
Although never released in the U.S. (except on vinyl),
Live Songs is an integral part of the early Cohen
chronicles. The CD contains ten live recordings, largely
from a handful of European concerts between 1970 and
1972, through which time Cohen had effectively made his
transition from brooding poet to brooding poet with
guitar. By 1973, Cohen's cult following had swelled to a
peak and already began a slight decline. The release
includes several new songs, including "Passing Through,"
"You Know Who I Am," and "Tonight Will Be Fine," all of
which skillfully combine heavy doses of erotica, love,
and depression. Live Songs also includes a handful of
his most popular tracks from the 1969 release, Songs
From a Room. "Bird on a Wire" and "Story of Isaac" are
both played admirably live, though neither adds
significantly to their studio versions. The album's
unmistakable climax lies in the 13-minute epic, "Please
Don't Pass Me By," a tale of his personal descent into
hell baring such pain and suffering that Cohen rarely
sang the song again. The less moving, but still powerful
"Queen Victoria" finishes off the CD and went on to
become a fan favorite. Live Songs is certainly not an
introductory CD, but for those who've formed a
friendship with the words and wisdom of Leonard Cohen,
this album finds him raw and naked in one of his finest
hours.
