Fantastic 20 past midnight though?! Mind you, I would have expected them to show it on BBC4 and my digital aerial is currently broken, so am thankful for small mercies.
I'm chained to the old masquerade...

These things are usually on BBC i-Player for at least a week afterwards, so all UKers at least should be able to see it, easily.

Forgot to mention in my excitement last night at the thought of a whole evening of Leonard, that the programmes on the 19th June are on BBC4

Here's the track listing for Live in London on TV:
Dance Me To the End of Love
The Future
Bird on the Wire
Suzanne
Hallelujah
Democracy
I'm Your Man
First We Take Manhattan
I Tried to Leave You
Whither Thou Goest
A fairly predictable and safe selection since it was aimed at the general public, but no complaints. I'm surprised that "Tower of Song"
wasn't included. I also found the last two songs surprising choices. Personally, I would have made sure that "Anthem" was included, but it all held together, pretty well.
All good things, John E

Agree with John about Anthem; personally would have liked to have seen "if it be your will" but did not expect it to be included - so many good songs to fit into 1 hour!

It was a great little 'taster'. Had I not attended that concert (I did, lucky me!) and read all the comments about it here, it would have left me panting for more and really feeling I'd miss a fantastic event (which it was).
