LEONARD COHEN: LIVE IN EUROPE 1985

Tuesday, 11/26 at 7:30 pm
Members $12 | Public $17

Relive a rare concert performance with Leonard Cohen, filmed during his “Various Positions tour” in 1985. The song, “dance me to the end of time”, was a major hit throughout Europe, and his fans lined up for days just to get a ticket for his shows. At the time of this concert, certain parts of Europe were still struggling under the communist regime, and most American bands were denied access. But Leonard Cohen had universal appeal, with song topics ranging from religion, politics, and sex – sometimes all together- with a good amount of angst. This concert is a landmark, as Cohen only toured three times during the 1980’s and was rarely filmed. The songs included are: Bird on a Wire, Story of Isaac, Suzanne, Who By Fire, Chelsea Hotel #2, And Hallelujah, plus many more classic hits. Presented by: Shelley Archives inc. 120 min.
