Hal Willner

2 years after his passing, his wife did a tribute show @ St Ann's in NYC. Tom Waits did some songs as did others

First Tom Waits public performance in a while at a Hal Willner tribute event last night. Three songs: "Shenandoah" (from Willner's pirate-songs album), Sinatra's "I'll Be Seeing You" (name of event), and ??. A few photos from IG, but tell me someone took video… pic.twitter.com/dssLKgcI56

I did find some short video clips on IG, but not of Waits. One was of Elvis Costello and John C. Reilly's duet, but they only uploaded the first minute, which is the band slowly starting up and Reilly's opening verse.

A Facebook friend of mine shared a Tom Waits video clip on FB, but she didn't set the privacy for public (only her FB friends can see it)

How had I not heard of this?! Or had I:

Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man is a 2005 film by Lian Lunson about the life and career of Leonard Cohen. It is based on a January 2005 tribute show at the Sydney Opera House titled "Came So Far for Beauty", which was presented by Sydney Festival under the artistic direction of Brett Sheehy, and produced by Hal Willner. Performers at this show included Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, The Handsome Family, Beth Orton, Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Linda Thompson, Antony, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, with Cohen's former back-up singers Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen as special guests. The end of the film includes a performance by Leonard Cohen and U2, which was not recorded live, but filmed specifically for the film at the Slipper Room in New York in May 2005.
