Thanks! When I posted the Dec. 4th comment suggesting a Leonard Cohen Holiday Album I didn't know there was a Leonard Cohen version of "Silent Night" out there. I think it's a good advertisement for more, and if not, this will do.

I downloaded this last night and in my humble opinion
thought it very moving.I wonder if there is any more similar songs out there?
I think Leonard would do an excellent Christmas album,highly unlilely to happen though

Very interesting. I was unaware he ever performed this song in concert. Does anyone know the particulars of this performance? The location, date, etc...?
Thank you for sharing!

here you go alb123,
There are two versions of Leonard Cohen singing "Silent Night". The first version is from a soundcheck at the Odeon, Birmingham, England, recorded December 8th, 1979.
The second version is a wonderful live performance from the Dome Theatre, Brighton, England, recorded December 15th, 1979.
Both are soundboard recordings.

PS Jarkko usually opens a thread each year for us to post Christmas wishes and uses this song at the start.
