Leonard Cohen 'Live in Dublin' DVD Released by Columbia Records and Sony Legacy December 2 to Promote 'Popular Problems'
Following the release of Leonard Cohen’s latest LP, Popular Problems, Columbia Records and Sony Legacy are releasing a live concert DVD to coincide with the album. Entitled Leonard Cohen: Live in Dublin, the DVD relives the freshly turned 80-year-old’s Sept. 12, 2013, performance at the Q2 arena in Dublin, Ireland.
The three-disc performance will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 2, marking Cohen’s first HD video of a complete concert.
The audio discs, which will also be released as a digital download, features 30 tracks including “Bird on a Wire,” “Suzanne,” “Hallelujah” and “Famous Blue Raincoat.” The accompanying DVD includes three songs — “Show Me the Place,” “Anyhow” and “Different Sides” — which were filmed in Canada earlier in the tour.
Popular Problems features nine new songs, including his latest single release, "Almost Like the Blues," currently out for streaming.
Naturally, the details of the release were leaked at a fan-gathering — presumably millennials — before Cohen confirmed.
