Watch David Gilmour Perform Leonard Cohen’s 1977 Obscurity ‘Fingerprints’
By
On the first broadcast, Gilmour played the Cohen tunes “So Long, Marianne” and “Bird on the Wire.” This time around, he reached far deeper into the catalog and dug out “Fingerprints,” from 1977’s Death of a Ladies Man. (Fast-forward to 15:45 to check it out.) He’s joined on harmony vocals by his teenage daughter Romany and others in his family.
Near the end of the event, at the 32:30 mark, Gilmour and family sing “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye,” from 1967’s Songs of Leonard Cohen. All four songs played across these two events are roughly associated with Cohen’s time on Hydra.
