Following the celebration of his 40th 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 15 years. One dozen of Leonard Cohen's most famous songs from those recent world tour performances at auditorium halls, festivals, arenas, and stadiums are now collected on Songs from the Road. Review: A humble, wonderful, troubadour - If you have "Live in London", you might wonder whether you should be buying this. Don't think for too long - just go and buy it. There are 12 songs on the CD; these 12 songs are also on the DVD and there is a 20 minute documentary devoted to LC and filmed by his daughter Lorca, but from the viewpoints of his backing band members, the tour management and technicians. The 12 songs are beautifully sung and played, the DVD highlights the gentle intensity of the musicians and their remarkable skill at transforming each of LC's masterpieces into something even better, more special. No track is better than any other - each is just fantastic. LC's vocals, for someone in his mid-70's, are exceptional - he is in great form - and the musicians add panache. He is humble, gentle, generous and obviously enjoying himself - and the musicians are given the opportunity to shine, as each do. If this was an album of a single concert, all of us fans would be commenting on what a scintillating show we had just witnessed. Also, a word for the three lady backing singers - the excellent British sisters Charley and Hattie Webb and, the incomparable; Sharon Robinson. Ms Robinson has been working with LC off and on for 30-odd years, has co-written and co-produced a lot of his more recent music, and is an understated and wonderful individual. The Financial Times did a piece on her and her collaboration with LC which you can find if you either read her Wikipedia bio or go straight to her website - a very interesting read. I have to admit to being biased about LC. I love his work. As someone says in the little film, he is neither selling anything nor promoting a new album; he is just touring and giving his fans a chance to see him. I know that LC was swindled out of millions by his long-time manager (a figure of $50m has been bandied around), so maybe he was trying to make a little money. Frankly, I don't care what the reasons for touring and releasing live albums are, I'm just glad he did - because they are wonderful and I'm actually waiting for the next release .... Review: Beautiful video - This is a superb blu-ray, though initially I had some reservations about it. I saw Leonard Cohen in concert in Sligo, Ireland, in July 2010, and the show was incredible - magical, inspirational - he was so gracious, giving and responsive to the audience and he seemed in very good form. When I first watched this production, he seemed more exhausted and worn-out and less participatory that he seemed on that night in Sligo. This took some of the magic out of watching him. I understand he did collapse during this tour of 2008-2009 and his physical state, as well as the physical state of the backing singers, doesn't seem so good. Admittedly this was a very long tour and must have taken a lot out of them, and that night in Sligo in 2010 was the very start of a new tour. He played for over 3.5 hours and danced on and off the stage for the encores. The backing singers were all upbeat, energetic and engaged with the crowd. The crowd were alive with enthusiasm, unlike some of the crowds shown in this video which look more sedate (though none-the-less still very appreciative). So this video is lacking some of the energy which I experienced at the live gig. The other reservation I first had was that most of the tracks selected in this production are down-tempo and not the most well-known or initially striking. However I have come to love this production, despite those reservations. The music is sublime, the performances from all the musicians are excellent, the production and sound quality is very good, and there are moments which still move me to tears here. So without a doubt it gets 5 stars from me. I would very much like to see the release of some of those moments from Lissadell house in Sligo on July 31st though - now that would be a great treat! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003Y01JRG | | Best Sellers Rank | 96,420 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 368 in Traditional Folk 22,535 in Vinyl 39,268 in Pop | | Country of origin | Portugal | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,035) | | Item model number | 777112 | | Label | Sony Music Cmg | | Manufacturer | Sony Music Cmg | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 30.99 x 31.5 x 1.14 cm; 521.63 g | ## Images ![Songs From The Road - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MVOvbJ-xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A humble, wonderful, troubadour *by C***Y on 9 October 2013* If you have "Live in London", you might wonder whether you should be buying this.

Leonard was a mesmerizing performer, particularly on tracks like Avalanche and Famous Blue Raincoat. Though not as long as the Live in London DVD, this one is equally as good. Although different venues are used, it plays as if one concert. The backing singers and musicians are all fantastic. The picture quality is beautiful and the sound, played through a home cinema system, is excellent. I haven't tried the stereo mix, but the 5.1 is brilliant, with great base. Vocals are extremely clear and the channels are used beautifully. All in all, this is great stuff and will be a worthwhile addition to your collection, either if you are a fan or just like watching great performers at work. So nice to have two wonderful DVD's to help us remember a great artist. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77615892-songs-from-the-road](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77615892-songs-from-the-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
