I remember watching this performance with my mother. Gary is one of my all time favorites!!
-
@cyril1917 I saw it back then too - actually I see now I posted this question to the wrong video. lol Someone uploaded a later version of it that appears pretty recent - Gary has a lot less hair in it, but no less talent & I thought I posted this on that video - sorry. this is still my favorite version though - & just as 15 yrs ago I wish Peggy Fleming & the other guy would shut up during the performance - lol Peggy was my favorite skater when I was a child, but as an announcer - not so much

@controlledfolly11 A little over 15 years ago. I remember watching this when it was first televised .

description should have read "The incomparable Gary Beacom, skating to the incomparable Leonard Cohen" :) amazing he's still got it - how recent is this performance?
-
I remember this, and my darling dearest in Australia sent this video...heh, I live 15 minutes away from where this was performed!

Very original, very entertaining. Thanks, Gary and Thanks for posting.

Love Cohen. Love Beacom. What a unique, astounding pairing.
NOTE: Audio too low

That...that's just brilliant. Where the heck did he learn how to skate like that? Standing on his head like that...that was just impressive. I love this guy!

I love him, lol
Beacom had the cojones to skate to Leonard Cohen years before "Shrek" re-introduced "Hallelujah". For that alone, he would have earned my undying respect. But when I saw him perform this routine this first time on TV, he convinced me, a card-carrying heterosexual male, that it wasn't all ice capades BS. We definitely ain't in Kansas anymore with this bit. Unheralded and absolutely brilliant skater. Ain't seen nothing like him since.

One of my fave programs of all time. I loved how he mocked the skating establishment and all those cool contemporary dance moves.
