Free Leonard Cohen video for Verizon FiOS TV users

I came across this by accident and I do not know how long it will remain on the service. For Verizon FiOS TV subscribers (a cable service in the United States) on their video-on-demand service, Leonard's performance from his 1993 "Later...With Jools Holland" appearance is presented free of charge. The three songs included in the video are "Democracy", "The Future", and "Dance Me To The End Of Love". I hope someone gets to take advantage of this.

Here is the transcript of the interview from that program:

Thanks for posting this, Phantom Stranger. I was living in the UK at that time, and used to watch Later With Jools Holland as often as not, but must have missed the week when Leonard appeared. (They never announced the guests in advance, presumably to ensure that you always watched "just in case".)

Thankfully those of us outside outside the US (or not on Verizon FiOS) can find all three songs on YouTube: I just searched for "Leonard Cohen Jools Holand" and got all three.
