"Leonard Cohen Live Fra Roskilde Festival '88"
Singers: Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen
Oud: John BIlezikjian
Setlist of the TV broadcast was:
1. Dance Me To The End Of Love
2. Everybody Knows
3. First We Take Manhattan
4. Take This Waltz
5. Hallelujah
6. Suzanne
"First We Take Manhattan" was released on 1988 I'm Your Man LP, in quasi-synthpop version following Jennifer Warnes' Eurodisco influenced arrangements. Warnes performed early version of the song on her 1987 LP Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen.
New, funky live arrangement was suggested by backing singers in 1988, and Cohen performed the song this way on all his subsequent tours in 1992, 2008 and 2009.

Jeg var til denne fantastiske koncert. Min puls siger til usunde højde for en 72 årig, når jeg ser og hører videoen. Tak Lenny og hvil i fred!

I was there! Great Concert! One to remember even many years later! What a Treat! :-) As far as I remember ,he had to sing 'Manhattan' three times. People back stage later on told me, that Lenny had trouble hearing himself because of the singing/roaring crowd. Lenny's fans always meet up well prepared knowing all the lyrics forwards and backwards.

Nobody called him Lenny, only totally platonical friends, like Jenny...(jJenniverWarnes)

This kicks the ass of the 2009 versions. Hard and funky as is should be! Even if Lenny's just a tad too drunk to keep up :D

Not the best sound on this video but I remember the concert. Especially First we take manhattan, a song he played twice that night and the second time was amazing.

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

You got the real meaning didn't you? That laugh at 4:36 tells it all.
