Leonard Cohen – Bird on a Wire DVD
Written by admin on July 20, 2010 – 8:15 pm - |
The long lost movie “Bird on a Wire” will be released as a deluxe DVD package in September. The film, which was directed by British filmmaker Tony Palmer, follows Leonard Cohen’s 1972 European tour.
“Bird on a Wire” was released in 1974, but apparently the original print was lost. Thankfully, the original rolls of film were rediscovered in 2009 and Tony Palmer spent months painstakingly piecing together the footage to restore the film. Palmer describes the results of this work as “by no means perfect,” but “very close now to the original.” |
The following performances are featured in the movie:
- Avalanche
- Suzanne
- Tonight Will Be Fine
- Passing Through
- Sisters of Mercy
- Who By Fire?
- Story of Isaac
- One Of Us Can’t Be Wrong

- Bird On A Wire.
The set will also include a reproduction of the 1972 film poster.
