Leonard Cohen World Tour 2009
Buy Premium Leonard Cohen Tickets Here! Tennessee Performing Arts Center - Andrew Jackson Hall, 505 Deaderick Street, Nashville, TN 37219 / It's a safe bet that not many 74 year-old singer-poets have released live albums based on recent tours, as Leonard Cohen did in March 2009 with Live in London. Indeed, it's a reasonable assumption that not many artists of that age have traveled across the world with 84 three-hour concerts in which they race onto the stage and don't miss a breath in delivering 40 years worth of songs with furious passion. But Cohen has been in the business of toppling expectations - including his own - and keeping us guessing since before many of us were born. Over the course of his career, Leonard Cohen has sold more than 21 million records worldwide. When inducting him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008, Lou Reed singled out Leonard Cohen as among the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters."
