Back in 1993, the great Leonard Cohen made a very rare live TV appearance on Later with Jools Holland. He performed two songs, including this stunning version of the title track from his then newly released CD:-
The interesting thing that I didnt pick until a number of years later when I had one last nostalgic look and listen before boxing up the VHS tapes was that he changes a lyric from 'Give me crack and anal sex' to 'Give me crack and careless sex'. I presume this was at the behest of the BBC, but this seems very bizarre given that the show aired sometime around 11.45pm.

Happy listening and viewing.
