The BIRD ON A WIRE concerts Leonard COHEN UNSEEN CONCERT FOOTAGE FROM THE FAMOUS FILM newly restored by the film’s original director, Tony Palmer Yet more archive film has been found from the famous 1972 tour, which formed the basis of the bestselling 2010 DVD Bird On A Wire. 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. This will all add considerably to footage of the early part of Cohen’s career, for which there is an increasing need since, apart from the film Bird On A Wire, there is comparatively little which is widely available. Worldwide success for Bird on a Wire “Simply one of the most beautiful music documentaries I have ever seen, as moving as the man’s music. Both fascinating and hilarious. It is also a compelling document of Europe in the early 70s.

Concert material from the concerts 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.
