there
is maybe a complete soundboard / pro-shot video recording of this
concert in Sony's or Palmer's archives.
Note about the venue: the venue for this concert was thought to be "Yad Eliahu Sports Palace" but is actually "Binyanei Ha’uma". Here are comments by DBCohen @ TheLeonardCohenForum:
"... it is stated that while in Israel (in 1972) LC gave a concert at the "Yad Eliahu Sports Palace" in Jerusalem. In fact, this sports arena is a very famous landmark of Tel-Aviv (a few years ago its name was changed to “Nokia Palace” for commercial reasons, but it is still in the Yad Eliahu neighborhood of Tel-Aviv); this mistake is repeated also on the concert listing of the Leonard Cohen Files. I am not sure which was the venue of the concert in Jerusalem, but it was not at any sports facility".
[...]
A good friend in Israel checked the old newspapers for me, and we found out two facts about Leonard Cohen's first concert in Jerusalem.
1. The correct date was 20 April 1972, and not 21 April as it appears on the lists. The 21 of April was a Friday, and there are no concerts in Jerusalem on Friday night because of the Sabbath (in recent years there is more entertainment available on Friday nights, but back then it was strictly forbidden).
2. The venue was Binyanei Ha'uma, the largest, most prestigious concert hall in Jerusalem at the time. Today it is part of the Jerusalem International Convention Center ".
