Last night, San Francisco’s the Chapel hosted a Leonard Cohen tribute show called “Songs of Love and Hate.” It benefitted the San Francisco Community Music Center, which supports local music programs. Among the performers were Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozelek, Christopher Owens (formerly of Girls), the Fresh & Onlys’ Tim Cohen, Sonny Smith (of Sonny and the Sunsets), Mother Hips’ Tim Bluhm, and more. Below, watch Kozelek (with Marc Capelle) play “Famous Blue Raincoat,” Owens play “Paper Thin Hotel,” Cohen and Bluhm play “Suzanne,” Smith play “The Future,” and Bluhm play “One of Us Cannot Be Wrong.”
Since his passing on Monday, November 7, Leonard Cohen tributes have poured out across the music world. Numerous artists–including Justin Timberlake, Beck, Lana Del Rey, and more–have paid their respects to Cohen. In addition, Kate McKinnon opened a “Saturday Night Live” episode performing “Hallelujah.” That song, in particular, charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time after the artist’s death.
