Leonard Cohen with Bono of U2 in New York (May 20, 2005)

"The shoot I did in New York on May 20, 2005, was with U2 who will perform with Leonard in the film! For more about this secret session go to the U2 website".

Tower Record
A secret film shoot with Leonard Cohen in New York.
They hardly ever get a day off but yesterday, in between a clutch of shows in the New York area, U2 got together to do some recording with legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen.
Filming for an upcoming documentary on Cohen, directed by Lian Lunson, the band turned up in a burlesque lower east side venue known as ��The Slipperoom Club.��
Passers by could barely believe it as the cars arrived in the area and decanted the members of U2. Leonard himself turned up on foot, sharing vocal duties with Bono on a recording of one of his best known tracks Tower of Song. And after filming - there being no show to race off to - there was time to chat to fans who had been waiting patiently outside the club.
Cohen, 70, is a long time friend of the band and was at one of the early Vertigo shows in LA last month. In fact it was more than a decade ago that Bono recorded a spine-tingling version of his ��Hallelujah�� on a Cohen tribute album, Tower of Song. The new documentary will also feature tributes from Jarvis Cocker and Nick Cave.

Leonard Cohen is 70!!! Wow! The 60's singers will be dropping like flies soon from old age. In about 10 years we will have mucho retrospectives on dead 60's stars.
Best Leonard Cohen album?.......Death of a Ladies Man. |

Strange who did and didn't survive the 60s, eh? I mean, Janis, Jimi and Jim are all dead, but Keith Richards and Leonard Cohen still walk. You could say Leonard Cohen wasn't in the same league as the others as far as substance use, but he was known to take some pretty heroic doses at times.
At all events, I'd like to see that Bono/Cohen collaboration, mostly for the Cohen side of things.
Bono - self-important twerp that he can be - does impress me in the way he continually pays his respects to those who influenced him. |
