Thanks very much Jarkko and Tony Palmer – I've registered!

Nice to have something exciting to anticipate... since I won't be able to make it to any of the Summer 2010 concerts in Europe

Jarkko, thank you so much for posting this info. I already pre-ordered the dvd through amazon, when we were told we could do that, but now I also registered at this link - don't know if it was appropriate to do that - if not, please let me know. . .

Not sure who this is - "SeeOfSound" on YouTube has uploaded what seems to be a promo for the upcoming video.

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.
Track Listing * Avalanche * Suzanne * Tonight Will Be Fine * Passing Through * Sisters of Mercy * Who By Fire? * Story of Isaac * One Of Us Can't Be Wrong * The Partisan * Sisters of Mercy * Chelsea Hotel * Nancy * Famous Blue Raincoat * Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye * So Long, Marianne * Bird On A Wire

Bonus Materials * Includes a reproduction of the iconic 1972 film poster.

Sales Points * 2010 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee * The Leonard Cohen Live in London DVD, from his 2008 sold out tour, scanned over 39,000 units. * For four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time. * Release date (Sept 21st) coincides with Leonard Cohen's birthday!

Hi all,

First of all, thanks to Jarkko for allowing me to post on this thread. I'm working with Steven Machat, the producer of the Bird On A Wire, and I thought you would like to know that there is a new and official trailer on You Tube for Bird On A Wire. You can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qyQ6Q_qBnw

We would love to hear your feedback and what you're most looking forward to about the film.

Thanks,

Charlotte
