Songs from the Road

In 1999, after an extended break from the spotlight, Leonard Cohen returned to the recording studio and world stage with a passion. Since then, his albums, concerts and DVD releases have informed a new generation. At the same time, Cohen has heroically fulfilled the dreams of his first generation of fans that have been following his career at Columbia Records since his debut LP in 1967. Following the celebration of his fortieth year as a Columbia artist in 2007 and coinciding with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2008, Cohen thrilled his fans by announcing his first tour dates in fifteen years. He's gone on to play the most prestigious and beautiful venues in virtually every corner of the globe, mesmerizing and charming audiences with performances that were hailed as some of the best of his career. One dozen of Leonard Cohen's most famous songs from those recent world tour performances - at auditorium halls, festivals, arenas, and stadiums from Tel Aviv to London, from across Europe to the California desert and his native Canada - are now collected on Songs from the Road. The twelve song program is filmed in high definition and recorded in 5.1 surround sound; here issued as a CD+DVD in a beautiful softpak with a twelve page book, with one disc of the audio and one of the visual!
