		dang on Nov 11, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Leonard Cohen Has Died That article contains a wonderful story about how he calmed a hostile audience in the middle of the night at a festival in 1970. I recommend it. (Search for "Isle of Wight", the story starts there.)

https://vimeo.com/56002315 is an hour-long documentary about his performance there, with lots of footage of the show itself.

Thanks for the heads up re Isle of Wight - that story feels almost biblical.
