Watch Leonard Cohen: The Bird on a Wire Concerts

Overview

Yet more archive film has been found from the famous 1972 tour, which formed the basis of the best-selling 2010 DVD Bird on a Wire. Concert material from the shows in Stockholm, Paris and the Albert Hall, with Cohen at the height of his powers performing Marianne, Susanne, Joan of Arc, The Story of Isaac, The Dealer and many other songs, has now been edited together by Tony Palmer, who shot the original material. This is interspersed with more backstage film of the band on tour, and even some fresh interviews with Cohen himself, together with some previously unreleased sound recordings of his early masterpieces.
