Leonard Cohen & His Army

It's four in the morning, the end of August, Leonard Cohen takes the stage three years after Woodstock in front of 600,000 people at the Isle of Wight Festival, following Hendrix's guitar blazing performance. Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 is a DVD (or Blu-Ray)/CD combo capturing one of Leonard Cohen's classic performances, recorded by Miles Davis's famed producer, Teo Macero, released to the public for the first time. With the camera lovingly fixated on Cohen's sleepy, starry-eyed visage, Live at the Isle of Wight delivers Cohen's entire performance inter-cut with new interviews with Kris Kristofferson, Judy Collins and producer Bob Johnston. From the introduction to stirring closer "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy," Live at the Isle of Wight is a heartbreakingly gorgeous and moving document of a career poet finally reaching his masses.
