This month marks the ninth anniversary of the release of the live record and DVD Songs from the Road. About the film, the NY Press concluded: "The film serves to remind us that we're looking at a very rare thing: an artist who, though he has aged much, hasn't faltered, hasn't ruined his body, his voice or his nerves, and hasn't misplaced his muse anywhere along his discography... Watch him perform "Famous Blue Raincoat" for London's Arena O2 in 2008, and it's as chilling as it was when a much younger man introduced it to a younger crowd about 40 years before."

Here is the promotional video for Songs from the Road with highlighted performances of "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah."

August 31, 1970: Leonard Cohen was awakened at 2 a.m. from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with his band at the third annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience of 600,000 was in a fiery and frenzied mood.

Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Judy Collins and others stood side stage as Cohen quietly tamed the crowd. Cohen's band leader Bob Johnston summed it up: "It was magical, from the first moment to the last. I've never seen anything like it. He was j...ust remarkable."
