Leonard and his band perform So Long, Marianne, only to find it all gets too much. Amazing footage. Sorry for poor picture quality. From Bird on a Wire 1972. (7 of 10)

  • the title is a bit mis-leading. The gig ended- not with this song- and they went off stage and had rapturous calls for an encore but Leonard couldn't sing. Great footage and much more of it in the film "Bird on a Wire".

  • @Frazandanne Yes, as clearly stated in my video description.

  • Many thanks for posting this faschinating footage. It is not that one particularly wants to see our favourite scribe wounded but the authenticity is worthwhile.

  • Thank You so very much for making these precious footages available.

    Could you please please upload some more? This film is incredibly difficult to get a hold of.

    Thank You.

  • How sweet! The man who has brought to many tears of joy to my eyes, crying himself! Gosh I love this man and his music so much and have since 1974.

  • @messalina79 Deeply moving. Thank you.

  • i wonder what book that guy gave to mr cohen..

  • Is that thunder at 1:44 on the left?

  • I think he is sad becauce his life with Marianne is over at this time. They had a

    good life together in Greece.

  • There was a wonderful Leonard Cohen programme on TV not too long ago. They showed concerts from his last tour, interviews backstage, etc. It was amazing to watch! I hadn't been a big Cohen fan before, the only songs I knew were Avalanche and Suzanne so after seeing that programme I got totally spellbound. I think it might have been Bird on a Wire like Frazandanne stated.

  • @letmeloginyoucunt Marriane i beleive his greek lover. Not hundred percent though.

  • @messalina79 It's still a beautiful video . Thanks for posting :)

  • wow,what would i do to have been there? although i am seeing him in 4 days the energy and intimacy of that time have been lost i think...he is such an amazing artist! i just love him
