Summary On August 31, 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened at 2.00 am from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with his band at the third annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience of 600,000 was in a wild and frenzied mood - stoked by the most incendiary performance of Jimi Hendrix's career. As Cohen followed Hendrix's set, onlookers and fellow festival headliners stood side-stage in awe as the Canadian folksinger quietly tamed the crowd. Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner was able to capture Cohen's performance. (from Canada in English) (Arts) WS
