Watch The National cover Leonard Cohen track ‘Memories’

The band took on the 1977 track at their Montreal gig.

The National are currently out on a huge North American tour on the back of new album ‘Sleep Well Beast’, and have been dropping regular covers into their set.

The band have taken on versions of tracks by Cat Power, The Ramones and more, and have now played a Leonard Cohen track live.

The National recently contributed to the Leonard Cohen exhibition at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, and while playing a gig in his hometown last week, they dropped in a cover of 1977 track ‘Memories’.

The band are set to return to the UK next year, headlining London’s new All Points East festival in Victoria Park next June.
