‘Live In Dublin’ is the first (and only) release of a complete Leonard Cohen concert to be shot in high definition.
Filmed at Dublin's 02 Arena on September 12, 2013, ‘Live In Dublin’ documents a peak performance from the musician's monumental sold-out 2012–2013 world tour, introducing Cohen's then-latest release (2012's ‘Old Ideas’) within a major canonical on-stage retrospective.
This state-of-the-art audio-visual HD presentation of the full-length concert from the Old Ideas world tour delivers this artist's repertoire (backed by a band recognized by critics as his best ever) with the intimacy, poetic beauty and intensity that have become hallmarks of a Leonard Cohen concert. ‘Live In Dublin’ recreates the deep emotional connection that audiences felt so powerfully and critics praised universally with five star reviews during Cohen's most recent tour.
‘Live In Dublin’ is the singer-songwriter-novelist-performer's second new release this year. On September 26, Columbia Records released ‘Popular Problems,’ the Canadian bard's 13th studio album of new material since his 1967 debut, ‘Songs of Leonard Cohen.’ An international success, ‘Popular Problems’ debuted at #6 on the Australian ARIA Albums chart.
An immersive viewing experience, 'Live In Dublin's three hours of music and magic includes an 11-song first set, a 10-song second set and an 8-song encore.
The Blu-ray features bonus live tracks recorded in Canada in 2013.
