Maarten ( Fall Tour Section) has put some great video's on the Forum - and a wonderful version of Leonard & The Webb Sisters "If it be Your Will" at the Royal Albert Hall. Thank you Maarten for this --and the other footage too.

Thank you Maarten.

I particularly like your recording of the Webb Sisters singing If It Be Your Will at the Royal Albert Hall on 17 November 2008 ... because I was sitting right beside you as you recorded it, so it is exactly the view I had. Glad I didn't cough...!

Thank you for that excellent video. I am a rather late newcomer to the Leonard Cohen fan club, but after seeing the RAH concert on Monday I had to go again the following night & fortunately was able to. "If it be your will" was my particular highlight -I have been watching most of the videos of this song on Youtube and this one is definitely the best.
I have heard many moving pieces of music, but this is truly exceptional. The combination of Leonard's song & the Webb sisters' wonderful voices & playing brings tears to my eyes (I kid you not).
I hope that a dvd will eventually emerge as a permanent reminder of these amazing concerts.

In MOJO, Kory stated that a DVD was in production, and said it would be of the 17 July performance at the O2 ... though I think they may in fact use more recent footage - at Bournemouth on 11 November I noticed very professional camerawork (e.g. use of split screen during If It Be Your Will) so I wouldn't be surprised if that concert were used.
