Leonard Cohen In Belfast 26 July 2009 (Part 1 of 2)

I'm a recent Leonard Cohen convert - as recently as 26th July!! The man is (still) a legend, far exceeding my expectations. The concert was simply awesome, all the backing musicians outstanding performers. I brought my camcorder along and shot some footage. If you're undecided, go see him in concert, or buy the excellent official concert video, which includes all his songs, not just the snippets presented here..

If anyone from the official Leonard Cohen tour happens to read this, I believe a lot of people would pay to have a copy of *their* concert - I would. I'm aware that the costs and time associated with producing & distributing a DVD for each event would be prohibitive, but surely you guys record everything - why not release each concert on iTunes/Amazon for download only.. I doubt this would have much impact on sales of physical media, would make fans happy and could generate additional revenue..

Hi there, thanks for posting this! I think I may have sat next to you - same angle to the stage and there was a man taping it all sitting in the next seat...I was just wondering if you could put the entire version of 'Who by fire' onto youtube? It's the last little feature on your film. It's one of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs and it was so beautifully performed...wasn't it just an amazing night? Thanks

Ahhh, sadly I didn't get the end of 'Who By Fire' - would have included it if I had.. I wasn't trying to tape the whole things, just some bits I could paste together to give anyone considering going to see the man a taste of how good a concert it was..

I could only hope for a ticket to fall into my lap at this junture of my life. I discover Leonard on SCBC Saskatchewan Morning and have been a devotee from the first verse. If you are fortunate enough to see this artists in concert, you number among the most blessed. Enjoy! He is an icon of uncommon talent.
