Hanoch and Artzi wrote the song Ani RoE Otach especially for the tour.Shalom Hanoch and Moshe Levi began performing at the Jaffa Theatre a decade ago.
In the summer of 2005 Hanoch joined Shlomo Artzi, and they went on a tour called Hitchabrut, which was very successful and was released as a double album and a DVD. At the end of that year, a five-disk collection was released summing up Shalom's career up to that point. In 2004 the Yetzia tour was released as a live album. Amongst the songs on the album, Ahavat Neuray, Hayom, Rosh Hamemshala and the album's theme song stood out and gained the most recognition. In 2003 Hanoch recorded Or Israeli with the rock band Monica Sex. In 2002, 25 years after the release of Adam Betoch Azmo, the album was reissued with a bonus song recorded in 2000 with David Broza. The album, distributed in 20 numbered copies only under the name "Lavan Shel Hatuna", featured a recording of a concert that took place in "Hadar" theatre in Givataym in January 1982. In 2001 an independent label, "C90", produced a bootleg from Hanoch's White Wedding tour. CBS never produced additional copies of the album, and it was never re-released. In 1976 the album was released in Israel by CBS and sold out in stores very fast. With his return to Israel in 1973 Hanoch claimed he had come back because it was hard for him to succeed in other countries, and writing in English did not suit him. A few of these became more famous in Israel several years later, when they were translated into Hebrew and appeared in his solo albums, and in an album by his new band Tamouz. The record included songs that were composed by Hanoch in Israel and were translated to English, and also included new compositions.
The album was recorded and produced by James' record company, DJM, with Elton John's backing band. In 1971 Hanoch recorded a solo album in English, Shalom. In London Shalom signed a contract with producer and music publisher Dick James, who worked with Elton John that time. In 1971 Hanoch flew to London in order to start an international career. In the same year Hanoch wrote and composed a song for Uri Zohar's Hitromemut movie. Two more artists who worked with Einstein that time, Shmulik Kraus and Josie Katz, took part in recording and composing. Plastelina, the second Einstein-Hanoch album, was recorded four months after the first. In these years he also wrote a lot of songs for other artists. Shalom composed many of the band's songs. In 1969 Hanoch and his former Nahal-band member, Chanan Yovel, joined with Benny Amdursky and founded the band HaShlosharim. But the complex, unusual song "Prague," which dealt with the Soviet invasion of the capital of the Czech Republic, was not well received by the audience. The Cooperation between the two continued in the Israel Song Festival (Festival HaZemer), when Einstein performed Hanoch's songs. He also wrote the lyrics for six of them.
Hanoch's great breakthrough occurred in 1968 when Arik Einstein recorded his second album, Mazal Gdi, which contained only songs written by Hanoch. The two were mentioned on the cover, an innovation for army band recordings. In this album Hanoch sang Mitria Bishnaim along with the troupe's star, Shula Chen. He was demobilized in 1968, but not before he had participated in a recording of the best-of album made of re-recorded versions to 1950s and 1960s hits by the troupe called Kol HaKavod LaNahal (Well Done, Nahal). Although at that point he was more interested in acting than in creating music, Hanoch was recruited by the Nahal army troupe when he turned 18, and wrote a few songs for the troupe while in the service.
