YouTube from my still camera pushed into service as a crude video cam:

Xavier Mas played 12-guitar, bandurria, a small modern (cittern shape, 
narrow neck, curved fingerboard) type tenor Spanish laud, and a lovely 
big traditional laud which is either a baritone or was tuned with heavy 
strings to Arabic tuning (it was not in fourths as he played two open 
strings at one point when checking it, and they were clearly octaved 
bass course to one other course). Xavier bent the notes very freely, I 
always assumed the instrument used on Cohen's recent recordings with a 
Turkish lavta or a Greek lauto - I had no idea that a laud could be 
played with so much note bending and produce such an Eastern sound.

LC played a Godin Multiac nylon solid body model into a California 
Blonde amp, DI'd into the very understated and finely handled PA, which 
gave the impression we were hearing the concert acoustically. All the 
stage gear was minimal and the sound very natural and not loud.

Sorry about the quality, had I known that security were letting large 
camera and anything else (no restrictions appeared to be placed) I would 
have taken a better method for filming or recording - and not limited 
myself to one memory card and mainly shooting short clips. This was the 
only full song I recorded and by the end, I just couldn't hold the 
camera overhead steadily enough.
