Overview
The Various Positions Tour was a globe-spanning tour that took Leonard Cohen and his band on four continents. Apart from staples like Germany and Sweden, concerts were also held in Israel, Poland and Australia. Cohen would revisit these countries 24 years later during his Leonard Cohen Tour 2008–2010.
The tour started in late January with concerts in Germany, and would continue through mainland Europe until the end of March. The second leg of the tour led Cohen through ten Northern American cites, five in the United States and five in Canada. In between, the tour would head to Australia for eight shows. The third leg consisted of outdoor concerts in Europe. This leg would also incorporate stops at festivals – the Roskilde Festival, the Kalvoeya Festival and the Festival Élixir in Guéhenno in the Brittany area, France.
