In 1972, dour folk philosopher Leonard Cohen went out on a European tour that began in Dublin and ended in Jerusalem. He had a band that included Jennifer Warnes, Ron Cornelius, and Bob Johnston, and Tony Palmer and his film crew followed them from one venue to the next. The footage was compiled into the 1972 film Bird on the Wire. Reminiscent of D.A. Pennebaker's similar portrait of Bob Dylan, Don't Look Back, the movie showed the ups and downs of touring, giving as much room to the backstage as it did the concert hall.

A weary Cohen fends off pretty women, needy journalists, and angry Germans upset by technical difficulties, all while searching for a transcendent experience at the microphone. Bird on the Wire is a peek at an artist stretched at his most thin, the bird barely able to stay atop his precarious perch. Fittingly, given all the problems that Cohen faced on his trek across the continent, Bird on the Wire apparently showed briefly in theatres before disappearing altogether.

Though collectors swapped VHS bootlegs over the years, no legitimate print of the film seemed available. Then, two years ago, a huge cache of original rushes were found, and Palmer took the material and reassembled his original movie. The result of that is now on DVD.

Cohen is one of those artists whose unique presentation and inimitable lyrical style allow him to perpetually find a new audience. His are the kinds of records that, if they are lucky, teenagers find in their parents' collection and wonder when the old fogies were ever so dark and cool as to listen to the gravelly voiced crooner. My parents weren't that cool, and so I came to Cohen as I assume many others in my generation did: via the Allan Moyle movie Pump Up the Volume. Travian Server Script Download. Christian Slater's pirate DJ played 'Everybody Knows,' one of the songs that led to the singer's late-'80s renaissance, and the biting lyrics and morose delivery piqued my interest. I soon procured a 'best of' and became hooked.
