The 'official' Leonard Cohen memorial concert organized by Adam Cohen in Montreal as per his father's specification. Recorded from FM with many tiny breaks in reception removed and instances of repetitive radio host chatter deleted. The band includes Javier Mas (stringed instruments) who has several magnificent solos. Backup singing is by Sharon Robinson and The Webb Sisters. Not broadcast were Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue Choir (Tower of Song, You Want It Darker; bracketing the second set), and Courtney Love (Everybody Knows; after t30). Some of the best performances were turned in by the lesser-known names. 

Defect: Most tracks marred by overdubbed talk at their beginning.
