Product Description
Description
Originally released in 1972 and directed by celebrated British filmmaker Tony Palmer, Bird on a Wire follows Cohen on his 1972 European tour and contains 17 classic performances, 4 poems and tour footage. After several edits it was relreleased in 1974. Like many films from the era it was thought that the original print had been lost, but in 2009 more than 290 rolls of film in rusted cans were discovered containing much of the original rushes and soundtrack of the 1972 film. Tony Palmer was able to restore much of this footage and it is now available on DVD for the first time. Also includes a limited edition reproduction of the iconic 1972 film poster and is in deluxe digipak packaging.

The "Other" Leonard Cohen,
This review is from: Bird on a Wire (DVD)
I bought this for my wife, who is a big fan, but it was the first thing I've ever seen or heard that I actually liked! ( ...I also was not aware the he had ever been a "younger" artist!) Great to see something other than "That Old Guy!"
