"Live in Dublin" is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 2014. It is Cohen's third live album and it features a recording of his September 2012 performance at the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland, during his Old Ideas World Tour. The three-hour show had become Cohen's longest show up to that date in his career.
At this time, Cohen was 79 years old and captivated the audience with a 29-song set. The songs included his classics like "Hallelujah," "Suzanne," and "I'm Your Man," as well as tracks from his 2012 album "Old Ideas." It is not just Cohen's singing that was commemorated for perpetuity, but also the exceptional work by his backup musicians and vocalists.
"Live in Dublin" was first released in digital format before later being released as a triple CD, DVD, and Blu-ray. The album met with positive critical response, with critics lauding Cohen's impressive vocal performance and the expertly recorded live versions of his hits. The engaging rapport between Cohen and his audience, combined with the lively atmosphere, gave the songs a renewed energy, making this album a testament to a memorable night.
