I posted this yesterday and there are some interesting videos here. Does anyone know about the first two videos?

Based on the link provided ( http://www.chromedreams.co.uk/ ) I was assuming that they are excerpts from the DVD "Leonard Cohen's Lonesome Heroes"?

[sturgess66]

No one?

I changed the title of the thread. Because - yes (now I'm answering myself) - I think all of these are video clips from the DVD "Leonard Cohen's Lonesome Heroes" - and there are more. The first one below "Recent Songs" - includes discussion/commentary of Jim Devlin.

As with the others - uploaded by "ved76"

Leonard Cohen - The Lost Album
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtiXD3mDtKE

Shortly after recording New Skin For The Old Ceremony (1974) producer John Lissauer and Cohen proceeded to work on its follow-up, Songs For Rebecca. About half dozen songs were recorded but the album was ultimately never finished. Instead, Cohen's next album (Death of a Ladies' Man) was done in collaboration with Phil Spector. John Lissauer eventually produced another Cohen album - Various Positions (1984)

Hi Linda,
The clips are from' Leonard Cohen Under Review :1934 - 77' and 'Leonard Cohen Under Review : 1978 - 2006' Both by Chrome Dreams.
The Lonesome Heroes dvd is more about LC's influences.
BTW the very first clip you posted as 'Tower of song' is actually Maarten's Born in Chains from Salzburg 2010!

Bless you Dave.

Thanks so much!- I was calling out but no one was there.

So - I have fixed the thread title. And apologies about the first link (Tower of Song) I have fixed that as well.

Linda,

Having seen these critiques before, they are still fascinating, loaded with insightful perspectives, and well worth the second view - thank you for bringing them to me again.

Warmest regards,
Mary

Another short video -

Uploaded by "MusicMintz"

This footage was taken from the full dvd ''Leonard Cohen - Under Review 1934-1977''. In this scene Leonard Cohen is portrayed as a poet rather than a songwriter, which really made him stand out from the crowd

[sturgess66]

Thanks for the links Florian and I wish I could watch.
Seems like the videos are not available in the USA.

@ sturgess66

i'm sorry to here this Sturgess66, because they are both really intresting and worth watching.
i did not now You have these kinds of problems also in the U.S.
over here in Germany many many music videos, nearly all official ones are not available since the GEMA, an organisation like
BMI and ASCAP in the States, having a law-suit with Y-tube to raise their fee.
for luck, live-videos are not included...
