Filming of Leonard's Concerts?

Post by Robin Orfe »

Hello fellow Cohen Fans!!!

When Leonard toured in 2008, a film was made during his London performance at the O2 Arena. It came out in DVD format which I immediately purchased because I was unable to attend any of his World Tour concerts.

Does anyone know if the same will be done at some venue during his "Old Ideas" tour? It certainly would be a nice addition to any fans library of videos.

I DO intend to get to Leonard's Boston concert, and am anxiously awaiting the pre-sale date to get the tickets, but if anyone has the answer to my filming question, would you be so kind as to post a response?

Thank you so much.

Robin

Also video footage of most of the concerts of the tours in 2008-2010 (after the London gig) are kept for future use in digital format, many of them in HD quality. I believe they will save the videos of the new concerts, too. At some point there will be new DVD/BluRay releases.

So we have something else to look forward to! Thank you Jarkko!!!

Thank you so much for your help on this topic. That gives me TWO things to look forward to. Seeing Leonard in Boston, and at some point being able to purchase the DVD too. I'm so excited about all of this.

My fingers are crossed for Monday morning 10am to purchase tickets for Boston.

Yippee!!!!!
