November 14, 2016
On New Year’s Eve in 2015, Widespread Panic closed their first set at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta with a pair of Leonard Cohen tunes in “First We Take Manhattan” and “Hallelujah.” Upon the sad news of Cohen’s death, Panic has shared a clean copy of the former from that very night. The video of “Hallelujah” was released shortly after the conclusion of the run.
Cohen passed away on November 7 at the age of 82. While no specific cause of death has been confirmed yet, cancer is believed to be a contributing cause of his death.
Listen to two of Panic’s tributes to Cohen from 2015.
