1979 Broadcast Recording On Deluxe Edition Double LP!
Volume One!
A delightful broadcast recording from Leonard Cohen's 1979 tour. On October 13, 1979, Leonard Cohen began his most extensive tour to date in support of his sixth studio album, Recent Songs, with a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden. Entitled 'The Smokey Life Tour', this 48-concert European leg of what would eventually become a world tour (ultimately encompassing too Australia, the USA, and in November 1980, Israel) progressed through Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, England and Ireland. This concert, from Bonn's prestigious 2,000 capacity Beethovenhalle, was recorded towards the end of the European extravaganza on December 3rd, and, as is evident, the cast were performing superbly by this juncture.
