This is one of the ... ( 1 month ago by franzy1)
This is one of the seminal moments in popular music as far as I'm concerned, there's a piece where Rollins (who kicks ASS) just sort of "honours" the song with an incredible run where he goes from Dante's hell to heaven and just basically deconstructs the song to a nursery rhyme (4:11) before positing a question to God himself, as if to say "If love is free, then why am I in chains?" (4:18)

The applause is genuine, and when Cohen turns to applaud the Saxophone Collosus at the end, it's a mutual lovefest...if you don't see it, I feel sorry for you, it's quite beautiful.

the origins of the song come from what follows in the opening of the prayer, is: How many shall pass away and how many shall be born,
Who shall live and who shall die,
Who shall reach the end of his days and who shall not,
Who shall perish by water and who by fire; cohen is jewish and knows this text well.
