The opening song of the first show in 2010 World Tour. Arena Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia, July 25, 2010
This semi-pro recording was shot with one camera by RTL TV Croatia for their evening news, with the sound coming directly from the venue's soundboard.
Attendance of the show was 12,000 people (sold out). The concert was heralded by the local press as the best show in history of Croatia, and in December 2010 it was chosen as one of top five cultural events in Croatia in 2010 (the only event actually not by the Croats).
It was Leonard Cohen's first public show after 8 months of tour break, further delayed for four months due to back injury and Cohen's physiotherapy, so he appeared little unsecure and shaky, but the Croatian audience gave him tremendous welcome for the great opening of the third year of his successful comeback world tour.
