Leonard Cohen on Later... with Jools Holland

Duration: 25 minutes

In 1993 while on a European tour LEONARD COHEN came into the Later…with Jools Holland studio at Television Centre during the show’s second series with his impressive band and angelic backing singers to perform two songs from The Future album - the title track and Democracy - both extraordinarily prescient post this week’s American election, and finished the show with an extraordinary, hymn-like version of his devastating ‘Dance Me To The End of Love’ from the Various Positions album. Cohen also chatted to Jools about his vision and his career and enjoyed seeing a clip of his duet with Julie Felix on Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye from her 1967 BBC TV series, Once More with Felix, for the very first time.

This BBC iPlayer exclusive includes all those performances and the interview in 25 plus-minutes of the great Leonard Cohen on Later…with Jools Holland. Show less
