Leonard Cohen – “Suzanne” (From Live In Dublin) (Stereogum Premiere)
Leonard Cohen’s Live In Dublin concert film is coming soon on DVD and Blu-ray, and he’s previewing it today with some striking audio from the performance. Recorded at 02 Arena in September 2013, the Cohen classic “Suzanne” is rendered here with nimble guitar work, soothing backup vocals, and a gorgeous swell of strings, all topped off by Cohen’s deadpan baritone. It’s an exquisite performance, and you can hear it below.
