Dont miss this!

This is Leonards first song he started the concert off with, Dance Me To The End Of Love. I used a Casio camera to record the video, not bad for a tiny thing. My fiance' and I had 3rd row center. We figured we'd post it for all those who could not attend. I think I got some decent shots of Leonard. ENJOY! and comments are always welcome http://youtube.com/watch?v=kADM_vWYlhM

There are a few more from Dublin up on YouTube. Don't have time to go through them all and post right now, but I had to ask about this one....um, what is happening at 0:19? lol

Maybe Leonard had the hiccups?
Or he saw someone in the audience he didn't expect?
Or he remembered that he forgot to telephone Anjani? Or to turn out the lights in his hotelroom?

And please, please, please, switch off all the squeaks and other extraneous sounds that your camera or other device will otherwise make whenever you press a button. It's easy to do - just go in to the set up menu and turn all sounds and signals to "off". Best to do that AND switch to "mute" mode if your camera has one. It will still record sound but will not make any noise whilst doing so. Even the smallest of cameras usually has a pretty sophisticated set up menu where all these things are possible.

This has the swoon-inducing "white man dancing" sequence in it.

I hope somebody will post a clip of June 15concert, the 12k crowd singing chorus of "So long Marianne" in the torrential rain, with LC watching.
It was purely amazing !

Here are some videos I took from Manchester (17th Of June 2008). the camera work is a bit sloppy I know but I wasnt watching the camera when filming.

Long Live Leonard
Good work, Thank you

Thanks Gregor
I wish I had a better camera, but it was such a fantastic night, I only wish I could have gone to all four of the manchester shows (heh and a better seat would have been nice). I had recorded a bit of I'm Your Man too but for some reason the camera switched off half way though oh well. I hope the rest of the tour goes really well, and maybe we'll see a DVD of it in the future. We can only hope.

What kind of camera was this? Was there no zoom? The sound and color seems OK. Thanks for recording. Did the ushers give you trouble?

I've just got a nikon camera not very big, it has a zoom but its rubish it cant focus when its zoomed least of all in a dark room. But I didnt get bothered by the ushers because I covered the screen up and leant forward. I took a few photos too but most were also blury, a few good ones though.

This may interest some: there is a way to download videoclips(probably more than one...): install the (new) real player 11(from download .com or others).
