LEONARD COHEN – The Spirit Radio (Classic Broadcast Recordings PLCD026)
Am 7. November 2014 erschien ein weiteres Bootleg namens “The Spirit Of Radio”, das sich jedoch schnell als wahrer Fake unter Fakes outet. Über die Aufnahme-Qualität lässt sich immer gerne diskutieren, schlimmer allerdings ist, wenn das Bootleg einen bereits vorhandenen Bootleg bootlegt. Das tut nämlich “THe Spirit Of radio”. Hier werden keine neuen Radio-Mitschnitte offeriert, sondern bereits vorhandene in nur auf den ersten Blick neuer Verpackung angeboten. Öffnet man die kleine Papp-Karton-Box, sieht man, dass sich der Vertreiber noch nicht einmal die Mühe machte, “alte” Mitschnitte neu zu präsentieren. Nein, er legte einfach die drei bereits bekannten Bootlegs von im Radio gesendeten Mitschnitte in eben schon bekannter Aufmachung zusammen in die Pappschachtel und fertig. Auf der Verpackung als CD One proklamierten ersten CD befindet sich nichts anderes als der Bootleg:
BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND. Auf CD TWO gibt es ANGELS AT MY SHOULDER CD THREE enthalt Radio-Interviews aus den Jahren 1961-2008 und ist bereits erschienen unter dem Bootleg-Titel: THE CLASSIQUE INTERVIEWS.

2016 LEONARD COHEN MEMORIES
2017 FROM THE SHADOWS
2017 LIVE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
2017 UPN A SMOKEY LIVE
On 13th October 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. Cohen surrounded himself with a coterie of superb musicians. As a nucleus, he co-opted the Austin, Texas-based jazz band, Passenger (Steve Meador on drums, Roscoe Beck on bass, Mitch Watkins on guitar, Bill Ginn on keyboards and Paul Ostermayer on sax and flute). Further extending the core group’s capabilities were violinist Raffi Hakopian and John Bilezikjian on the oud – an 11-string pear-shaped instrument, visually similar to a mandolin – all of whom had also contributed to ‘Recent Songs’. Completing the ensemble, Leonard’s brace of backing singers on the jaunt were long-time friend and colleague Jennifer Warnes (who later released her own Cohen tribute album, ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ in 1987) and another Cohen collaborator and future song-writing partner, Sharon Robinson. This concert, from Bonn’s prestigious 2,000 capacity Beethovenhalle, was recorded towards the end of the European extravaganza on 3rd December, and, as is evident, the cast were performing superbly by this juncture. ‘Recent Songs’ was, and remained, a personal favourite of Leonard s: “I think I like ‘Recent Songs’ the best. The producer was Henry Levy – I was studying with Roshi at the time in Los Angeles and it was appropriate that I worked with a Los Angeles producer. He had that great quality that Bob Johnston (Bob Dylan’s producer) had: a lot of faith in the singer and he just let it happen. He introduced me to the group Passenger. I’d always wanted to combine those Middle Eastern or Eastern European sounds with the rhythmic possibilities of a jazz or rock’n’roll rhythm section,” he later stated.
