Do I Have To Dance All Night (1980 Version) Video Sources
Leonard Cohen – Do I Have To Dance All Night (1980 – Amsterdam Concert)
Since uploading the video I put together for the 1980 version of “Do I Have To Dance All Night” to YouTube, I’ve received many questions about the origins of specific clips or the identities of individuals in the montage. Consequently, I’ve constructed a story board identifying the major scenes and characters.1
The key is self-explanatory. Links to many of the source videos and further information follow the key.

Links To Videos and References
Links are listed in the order of the scene’s occurrence in the video. I have included a single link to each of the videos. When more than one scene from a video is used, only the link to the first scene is shown. Scenes from the same source that show consecutively in the Do I Have To Dance All Night video have, in some cases, been cut and reassembled in a different sequence (e.g., the scenes from the Official Video of Dance Me to the End of Love) .

- This video was used as a result of my error in translating the YouTube information (written in Spanish). I found this clip while searching for scenes from Atom Egoyan’s Exótica, which uses Cohen’s Everybody Knows in its soundtrack. After I had posted the video, I discovered that this was an “homage” to that movie rather than a segment from it. Ms Carillo is a model and former Ms Universe, who did not appear in Exótica.

That was a complex endeavor. It would have taken me years.
