I purchased this DVD from the same guy I got the live Thomas Dolby DVD from. He converts VHS tapes and other video sources to DVD.

This concert in 1981 at the Music Hall in Toronto was documented by the film Rumours of Glory, directed by Martin Lavut. It is pretty awesome and a real rare slice of early Bruce Cockburn live.
Here's the description off of the website:
Bruck Cockburn live 1981 - Rumours Of Glory
Tuesday, 17 October 2006
A live movie filmed in 1981 on 16mm film, this was shown on Canadian Television and limited theatrical release. Coming in a little under an hour and a half, the picture is good for being essentially an amateur film, with the worst part being the poor response to stage lighting from using stock film rather than film meant for that sort of environment. The sound here is fabulous and is literally CD quality. Coming in around an hour and 20 minutes, the quality rates a 4 and songs are as follows:
The Trouble With Normal
Going Up Against Chaos
Wondering Where The Lions Are
Radio Shoes
Creation Dream
Rumours Of Glory
Civilization And Its Discontent
Momma Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night
Coldest Night Of The Year
Alls Quiet On The Inner City Front
Loner
Tokyo
All The Diamonds In The World
In The Falling Dark
Wanna Go Walking

??? Tho' they're tagged as Cockburn, these are actually excerpts from TV shows - 'Deal or No Deal' & some cop show
Kayaker, Thanks for the Cockburn. I saw Bruce at the old Wax Museum concert venue back in 1984. He had just released "Stealing Fire" and was riding high from the radio exposure of "If I Had A Rocket Launcher". HFS was playing Bruce a lot in 1984 and they always featured great tunes from Bruce's past as well.
Saw Bruce at the Warner Theater and also Wolf Trap around 1989.
Great memories.

I have a rare 6 song live EP that Bruce released back in the 90s....You Pay Your Money and You Take Your Chance. I believe it is OOP. I could upload a copy to you. Let me know.
1. Call It Democracy
2. Stolen Land
3. Strange Waters
4. Fascist Architecture
5. Pay Your Money.....Chance
6. Birmingham Shadows

Sure, love to have it!
I wish I had seen him in the Stealing Fire era, my favorite Bruce Album and possibly a top ten, desert island album for me, along with the live album.
Saw him at the Birchmere 6-8 years or so back and was a bit dissapointed, another one of those shows when you expect a band and he plays solo with one guy providing guitar or bass backup...still a decent show, but I want the whole band like on the live album.

Thanks for correcting - am dl'ing now; and thanks for accepting anonymous comments. I was going to comment the other day & when first finding this site thru Totally Fuzzy, & snagged some Robert Palmer, but thought you didn't. Was wondering: do you have/want a program to take out some of the wicked clicks & pops that appear on some of your rips?
Send a link for the program...

Think it comes with a serial no or crack, with instructions.
My history: One concert in DC at the Bayou and one in Chicago. Some of Bruce's songs are amazing. "Lovers in a Dangerous Time.''
Another great post. Thanks
John Hammond was amazing and Duke Robbilard was awesome! John told plenty of tales from his storied past and played with Duke for couple of tunes. The whole show completley kicked butt!

Thanks for the comment!
Kayaker, I'll have to make the trip up to Ram's Head sometime and hook up with you for a show.

A great artist he is and an also great blog you are. Bruce is one of my favourites and a had the very good luck to see him live in Montreal in 1991. Since then i bought quite a few of his works and i admire his musicianship more and more. It's not a coincidence that he worked many times with the one and only Jackson Browne.
Keep on rocking Camarillo Brillo
gkapageridis,
Thanks for the kind words and your comments! We 'ppreciate it!
I published that comment for the software in error...sorry
Very excited to hear this. Sounds intriguing. Thanks.
It is intriguing....enjoy!
Finding Bruce Cockburn here and also finding references to DJ Bob Here reminded me of an old 'HFS tape I have of Bob interviewing Bruce way back in 1987! Good listening!
Thanks 4 taking the time to write Jeffrey...glad to bring back some cool memories for ya...
Hey Camarillo thanks for the audio of this footage, sounds great! I especially love Bruce's early stuff. Unfortunately video part of the antisoshal.com website is closing down so the DVD is no longer available. Any suggestions how to obtain said footage?
Good luck with that Catholic Boy...
