#TDIH 2016 Death of a true ladies’ man, Leonard Cohen. His 🎵, his ✍️, the way he lived his life; all an inspiration. Very lucky to see him in concert during his career resurgence. To honor LC, I offer my fave live performance & quote from another admirer. Lover Lover Lover song.link/xLLL #musicsky

Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979 is a live album by Leonard Cohen, released in 2001. Songs were recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, on December 4, 5, and 6, 1979, and at the Dome Theatre, Brighton, on December 15, 1979. Cohen considered it his "best tour ever.”

"When people talk about Leonard, they fail to mention his melodies, which, to me, along with his lyrics, are his greatest genius. Even the counterpoint lines-they give a celestial character and melodic lift to every one of his songs. As far as I know, no one else comes close to this in modern music. His gift or genius is in his connection to the music of the spheres." - Bob Dylan
