Leonard Cohen - Bird On A Wire (DVD)

Originally made in 1972 and directed by celebrated British filmmaker Tony Palmer, Bird On A Wire follows Leonard Cohen on his 1972 European tour and contains 17 classic performances, four poems and tour footage. After massive re-editing, although not by Palmer, it was released in 1974, had a very limited run and then “disappeared’. Like many films from the era it was thought that the original version had been lost, but in 2009, 294 rolls of film were discovered containing much of the original rushes and soundtrack of the 1972 film. Palmer was able to restore much of this footage and it is now available on DVD for the first time.

Bird On A Wire includes unique live performances of the following Leonard Cohen songs: ‘Avalanche’, ‘Suzanne’,’ Tonight Will Be Fine’, ‘Passing Through’, ‘Sisters of Mercy’, ‘Who By Fire?’, ‘Story of Isaac’, ‘One Of Us Can't Be Wrong’, ‘The Partisan’, ‘Chelsea Hotel’, ‘Nancy’, ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’, ‘Bird On A Wire’, and more...

The deluxe digipak DVD package also includes a limited edition reproduction of the iconic 1972 film poster.
