[Wenslauw]

What do you people think of the Live in London album?

I have not listened to it yet, Wenslauw! Is it any good?

First of all, it was a nice surprise to hear Leonard's voice as strong as it is - I wasn't expecting that. (Practice, practice, practice!) Overall, the cd isn't that much different from the bootlegs of the '93 tour - even has the same "I Tried To Leave You" routine. Some of the arrangements are different though, which was nice. The packaging is very shoddy - more like thick paper than anything. The corner ripped the very first time I took disk 1 out. I've listened to it once, and probably I'll listen to it again one day, maybe when I take my road trip to Maine next week. I still much prefer the early stuff.

Oh... and I didn't like the Webb Sisters version of If It Be Your WIll.

I felt Cohen was in some songs singing to fast, slowing down, getting behind, picking up again. It made listening to some songs quite unbearable. I still bought the whole damned thing on iTunes though...

Damn you, Leonard...
