My Mom passed away a couple of years ago. She couldn't play a fiddle, she could not sing. She didn't even know this song. And her Name was not Marianne. That's what brought me to this song. Suzanne we miss you.
My god what an absolutely phenomenal performance. Something so wonderful about Leonard Cohen is that his music attracted the talents of many brilliant performers. He always introduced them with such love.
How marvellous to hear the silence & respect this legend garnered from the beginning. The poet of the 60s & 70s have never been beaten with their references to history, philosophy, psychology, self-reflection...LYRICS that go on & question/reference/expose.
My mom (Marianne) passed away from cancer a few years ago. Shortly after I discovered Leonard’s music and found this song. I know he didn’t write it about losing a loved one, but I’ve found this line be relatable while grieving: “Your letters they all say that you’re beside me now, then why do I feel alone? I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone.”
I also have a mom that passed from cancer (she was Mary Ann) I discovered Leonard’s music and this song after her death and it means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
What a magical song by the talented Leonard Cohen! The piece played by the violinist is exceptionally great, This video is a true feast for the ears and eyes! Thank you for posting!❤
It's always been a gorgeous dirgey lament - but what a rockin tune it was during this tour! LC singing as good as he ever would. A fantastic band. Jennifer Warnes & Sharon Robinson. The best of every one. If it be your will.....let them sing.
I was just sweeping through to see if someone names the girls in the background. And yes, my guess was Sharon and Jennifer. Wanted to be sure. Sharon followed him to the very last performance, this song was played in London too with Sharon and the Web sisters. Sharon was his true friend. RIP L. Cohen
What a stunning performance! Every musician and vocalist full of passion and talent, Leonard looking cool as hell and that violinist!! Hope this is available as a live album.
RIP Marianne. ''Marianne Ihlen, the woman immortalized in “So Long, Marianne” and the woman in Leonard Cohen’s life through the 1960s, died July 28, 2016 after being diagnosed with leukemia less than a week ago.''
So great..everything is perfect..his voice, the words, the choir en also woww this violist. Just awesome. I need to listen L.Cohen everyday. He is telling me so much that I need, that I feel❤
My name is Maryann and my ex just sent me this song.....I love it....amazing. My dad friend said their is over 50 songs with Mayann in them....Lifetime channel uses Maryann name for a lot of the leading ladies character. Gilligan's Island......I love my name.❤
Wow, some time ago this one. We might have imagined that we knew what "it's time to laugh and cry and laugh about it all again" meant back then, but now we truly know! :)

a montrealer with marianne on his birth certificate here 🤓 i was named after this song im not even joking 😆 ive retired my birth name now (trans and shit whoopsss) but for a name that ive been uncomfortable with all my life, i feel proud of its origins, this song is heart wrenching beautiful💜 shout out to my dad that would dance with me on this song since birth :')
The violinist is my grandfather, who also past away on February 28, 2015. His name was Raffi Hakopian.
My condolences for you and your family. He was very talented.
I too am so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandfather. He was a beautiful musician. You can be proud to call him your grandad.
Gennadiy Khatchikyan so long to your grandfather . What a life to live.
The violin lends such emotion to this most beautiful song. I am sorry for your loss.
A spectacular performance, he builds and builds and takes the rest of the band with him.
J'habite la rue Marie-Anne à Montréal.
Quelqu'un.e a collé le "So long" à côté du nom de la rue.
❤
Have loved Leonard Cohen and his music since my teens. I'm 70 now. The violinist is Wow! A class act.❤❤❤❤❤
Ich bin 69 und die Zeit rast,😢,warum nur

Yes! My Mom lassed nine weeks ago today. I have the same feeling
My husband was a big Cohen fan. So I opened his funeral service with this song that he loved so much.
That is lovely- may the Lord grant him heaven
It's a hauntingly sad and beautiful song.
Sorry for your loss...
beautiful..play it often...
he would have smiled ,, and loved you for it.....
Damn this is extremly beautiful. Leonard Cohen and his band are from another planet.
Canada. But I understand the confusion.........
True.
Christ I've never seen a violin played as good as this
looks like some kind a gipsy boy, maybe
My god what an absolutely phenomenal performance. Something so wonderful about Leonard Cohen is that his music attracted the talents of many brilliant performers. He always introduced them with such love.
The violinist wins the day. Magnificent IMHO.

No words. Except thanks for singing my song. Rest in peace xx
Epic post
Handsome guys. Your grandfather so amazingly good.
If only the audience knew they were experiancing musical history and greatness from an iconic singet
I think they may have, a little.
We definitely didn't know.
I love Leonard’s music, especially this song. My mom was a Mary Ann so that makes me love this beautiful song even more. ❤️
What an amazing recording
RIP Marianne.

Leonard hat Marianne vor ihrem Tod besucht. Man konnte ihre lebenslange Liebe fühlen (Film: Marianne & Leonard Words of Love)
@@elmartribus6201 danke für die info
Delightful, beautiful, dreamlike, Outrageously talented.
I listened this song almost 100 times, in bed with my headphones. Just a loving affair that did'nt happen with Evelyne Schembri. Still I cry!
The best version..
The perfect voice of L.Cohen, the choir and the awesome violist..
Sooo great and sooo beautiful👏👏👏❤

its hard to pick a favorite Leonard Cohen song, their all great, but that ones on the top of the list
A love song that is the draw of a life song.
So long Leonard, you'll be missed.
that is very good, especially the violin solo
Musicians display their vulnerability in a very touching way which helps me to live!
Lost love songs are always going to get our attention. Even before you've lost that love.

Omg.. violinist was shockingly beautiful
I will built a giant speaker in the desert and play Leonard so that the whole world can hear it
Happy Birthday Mr. Cohen. We miss you. Love, Maryanne
Ovo je 1977 koncert. Ja sam bio u Ny 1982, ali ne mogu pronaći tu snimku. Ovo je pjsma koja mi uvijek natjera suze na oči.
Listening to the Maestro in 2020. Uncertain times listening to Leonard seems to take me to another place. My saviour ❤️🌹❤️🌹
I like these poetic songs. And the singer is still young...
The Man with the Army....his best backup band ever!. Plus Jennifer Warens backing vocals.
Thanks Leonard for the raw passion and love..
Beautiful song
You gave us all so very much.
Wow, some time ago this one. We might have imagined that we knew what "it's time to laugh and cry and laugh about it all again" meant back then, but now we truly know! :)
Masterful performance of a MASTERPIECE.

RIP Mr. Coen. Oh God what a terrible year.
2020, hold my beer
Best version of this song
Beautiful..love Cohen.....
Wirklich, Leonard, auf DICH wäre ich nie gekommen! Bis vor ca. einem Monat (??, mein Zeitsinn verschwimmt).
Thanks for all your wonderful songs. RIP Leonard.

Du gehörtest in meiner Folkzeit zu einer Welt, von der ich dachte, ich würde sie nie betreten können in diesem Leben.
Que du bonheur !
Thanks for sharing!
So long, Leonard. Thank you
A lovely may he rest in peace Amen
Love the violin break - unusual.
