An Audio Recording of Leonard Performing during Yom Kippur War

[MarieM]

A website in Israel says it has discovered an archival tape of artists performing for the soldiers in 1973 during the Yom Kippur war. On the tape Leonard performs "So Long, Marianne." Surprisingly, the recording is of good quality.

The link no longer works. If someone keeps this audio, I would appreciate it if you could send it to me . This is a remarkable document.

We had no audio and very few photos of Cohen during Yom Kippur War. The best known were taken by Yaakovi Doron and Isaac Shokal at Fa'id air base, then Ariel Sharon's headquarters, with Matti Caspi and Ilana Rubina. (I have 10.)

In those photos we see a technician of Army Radio recording, these tapes have been lost, according to Friedman. Maybe not, maybe we still have that "So Long, Marianne" included in that compilation.

In another thread : https://leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=39969

i don't understand what is so important about this box, or why anyone is willing to use so much energy on it. it is just stuff about leonard cohen, is it not? there are lots of videos and articles about him on the internet, freely available - you don't need this item. this is silly, forget about it; act intelligent and focus on other more interesting and worthwhile things.

What? No cod psychology? No ludicrous analysis? Just a patronising reassurance that, if something’s not important to Geoffrey, it shouldn’t be important to anyone. End of.
