Leonard Cohen: Is This What You Wanted - Paris 1976

The high quality audio track is from a radio broadcast of the June 5, 1976 Leonard Cohen concert at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. A number of the photos were taken at that concert, most of the shots are from 1976, and all date within two years of the show. More Leonard Cohen Specialty Videos at cohencentric.co...

Je l'ai vu 3 fois, dans tous les passages importants de la vie.quunad'était jeune - en Allemagne - d'âge mûr - Londres - et vieux Florence. ma vie marquée par leonard cohen a toujours donné le meilleur dans toutes les phases de sa carrière. il ne nous a rien caché. des concerts aussi longs que le légendaire Bruce Springstein. repose-toi bien-aimé.

J'y étais! Le concert s'était terminé à 2 heures du matin, le public en liesse et debout, reprenait en chœur tous les succès de l'époque. Ce fut ma première rencontre visuelle avec Leonard. Il y en a eu beaucoup d'autres depuis! Pour information, mon billet indique 65 francs! On n'imagine pas pouvoir s'offrir Leonard pour 10 euros aujourd'hui!

L'un de mes plus profonds regrets est de ne l'avoir jamais vu sur scène. Tu as gardé le billet. Une pépite. Tu peux dire "J'y étais". J'habitais Paris à cette époque.J'avais 18 ans. Comment ou pourquoi suis-je passée à côté de ce personnage que je vénérais déjà sans en comprendre encore la puissance et le charisme international. La jeunesse peut-être...

lyrics on vid....not ones from on-line source You were the promise at dawn And i was the mornin’ after You were jesus christ, my lord And i was the money-lender You were the sensuous woman You filled all my books w so much joy You were the man; you were organism and I was the dirty little boy And is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me And i mean, is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me You were marlon brando I was only steve mcqueen You were that fancy k-y jelly I was ordinary vaseline You were the father o’ modern medicine And who knows what i might have been You were the whore, the very beast o’ babylon And I was rin tin tin And is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me I mean, is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me You got old and wrinkled I stayed 17 You went lustin’ after so very many I lay here w only one You betrayed your precious solitude I came through alone You said you could n’r e’r love me But i undid your gown And this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted By the ghosts o’ you and me And i mean, is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me Come on, i want to know, is this what you wanted To live in a house That is haunted by the ghosts O’ you and me
