Hi,
The video footage of the interview with Leonard Cohen during the pre release party in Paris (Jan 16) has surfaced!

Many thanks to Dominique for the link and Maarten for passing it on.

I've just watched the interview and even though I have read most of those words in print, it's an entirely different thing to see them being said!
Most enjoyable!

Unfortunately, it is only the first part (12 minutes), without the Q&A from the press. Well, we can’t have everything I guess…

[Maarten]

Doron,
I saw it's only the "main" interview that's online here, but I'm sure the whole session was captured on film so I'll ask around to see if we would be able to have the full version of this... Don't get your hopes up, but I'll give it a go...
Still, I hope you have enjoyed seeing this part and I'm sure you have listened to the full audio, no?

(there were 2 cameras positioned, 1 on either side of the room but I don't think they took shots of the "audience", only filming mr Cohen and what was happening in the front)

All the best,
Maarten

Maarten,

Thank you very much for your efforts on the behalf of all of us. I off course was happy to see that video, and also listened to the recording that you have kindly provided, as I indicated when I made use of it on another thread (“LC article in an Israeli newspaper”).

Best regards,
Doron

Thank you for posting this. It is just so fabulous to see Leonard look and sound so good. A beautiful start to Spring.

Hi,
I've captured the video footage and put it on WeTransfer, so if anyone wants to keep this: http://wtrns.fr/PG0ZUPlrPzzJNy

Full content:

I picked some random interviews from my collection to fill up the ZIP a bit... 2006 seems like it must have been a good year!
Note: the Jarvis interview is an edited version, not the full 2hr show. I deleted the non-Cohen stuff (news, first song, ...) and added some fade-ins and fade-outs for easy listening.

Enjoy the interviews!
Maarten

Well that saved the cost of a trip on Eurostar! An excellent piece of footage, I hasten to add.

[B4real]

ah Maarten,

Thank you so very much for the Old Ideas interview plus the unexpected bonus ones.
It will be a treat to watch them!

btw - you are still holding your breath in my cache
