Leonard Cohen Performs Story Of Isaac - Bonn 1980

"I was careful in that song [Story of Isaac] to try and put it beyond the pure, beyond the simple, anti-war protest, that it also is. Because it says at the end there the man of war, the man of peace, the peacock spreads his deadly fan. In other words it isn’t necessarily for war that we’re willing to sacrifice each other. We’ll get some idea – some magnificent idea – that we’re willing to sacrifice each other for; it doesn’t necessarily have to involve an opponent or an ideology, but human beings being what they are we’re always going to set up people to die for some absurd situation that we define as important. " Leonard Cohen. A friend from Bonn recorded this song at the Nov 4, 1980 Bonn show with the permission of Leonard Cohen and his sound engineer Photo of Leonard Cohen by Pete Purnell.
