Live Songs was the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen's fourth album, released during the three-year silence between Songs of Love and Hate and New Skin for the Old Ceremony. It is a live album, or, more accurately (and as the title suggests), a compilation of live recordings, performed mostly in Europe in 1970 and 1972.

  • Live Songs was the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen's fourth album, released during the three-year silence between Songs of Love and Hate and New Skin for the Old Ceremony. It is a live album, or, more accurately (and as the title suggests), a compilation of live recordings, performed mostly in Europe in 1970 and 1972. Cohen is backed by a medium-sized, country-influenced group, which includes guitarist/fiddler Charlie Daniels and vocalist "Jennifer Warren", who would soon become famous as Jennifer Warnes, among other things a popular interpreter of Cohen's songs. The album consists mostly of reinterpretations (often with additional or significantly altered lyrics) of songs from Cohen's second album, Songs From a Room ("Nancy" is a version of "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy", and "Improvisation" is an extended instrumental guitar trio version of the vamp from "You Know Who I Am", which is also featured). Neither Songs of Leonard Cohen nor the then-recent Songs of Love and Hate (which featured a live track, "Let's Sing Another Song, Boys", culled from the same tour as the 1970 recordings here) are represented. The other tracks are a cover of the undergraduate folk standard "Passing Through", and two new compositions: "Please Don't Pass Me By (A Disgrace)" (a thirteen-minute singalong recorded in 1970) and "Minute Prologue". A "bonus" track, "Queen Victoria", was recorded by Cohen alone in his Tennessee hotel room in 1972. At the beginning of a Paris, France performance of "Bird on the Wire", Cohen recites the first verse of a French translation of the song's lyric. Live Songs was Cohen's longest album to date, at nearly fifty minutes.
