Van was magic when I was 10 years old I am now 67 and he is still magic

Who yelled out "Van you're on fire!" at 5:53 ? I don't know who it was, but I am 100% certain it was a hard-core longtime fan who was perfectly in sync with Van at that moment. It is EXTREMELY RARE for a concert attendee to yell out something at Van mid-sermon and for Van to not skip a beat in acknowledging it in a positive way.

Van Morrison you are the Man thank you

Very well filmed

wow

I think that Van Morrison music is extra special, it is brilliant, what do you think

Love, love, love! Sooooo Goooooodd!❤

A musical genius for over five decades

Beautiful set..loving it

Gonna go lie down for a bit. No more Ronnie til later this evening. I'm tired now. No one here to fuck me into even more exhaustion. X

I bought my mum blue rosary beads at the cathedral shop and went on to the next town and phoned her from a pub garden and told her I was sending her a letter and some rosary beads from Glastonbury and when I next called she was distraught as the package arrived but no beads. They contacted the post office all to no avail. We both were upset. Who would steal rosary beads? After she died I found what I think were them in her room. I believe Deirdre took them. Deirdre is evil. Deirdre couldn't bear me making my mother happy. I did find her sister Pat's grave in Bournemouth and took photos for her and she was v happy about that. I did borrow some flowers off another grave for the photos. Didn't want her to think pat had no flowers

It just is

Went to the church of st John X 4 down in Avalon in 2013 June

Masterpeace!

Genius Big Boss My Lover Man <3

always two... and sadly more... that? must say... "I" don't like this? and if asked ....not in eons could "they" tell who has the ugly need to ... say? and still lost as the last out-breath.... missing..... funny dance with no partner.....

This reminds me of BC Before Covid Feb 10, 2020 in Oakland CA Yoshi's. Great concet in an Intimate setting the best!

You got a really nice recording of this intimate show, thx a lot! I know your In The Afternoon is the big hitter and that's good too, but Did Ye Get Healed is my favorite. It's always fantastic when he does it, and I'd say it's a little rarer.

Personally , this is my favourite Van Morrison album . I know the critics didn't particularly like it so much but who cares. There's a mystical , celtic feel , that maybe some people don't get . Some critics seem to want to over -intellectualise music , but sometimes you just have to listen and lose yourself in it and rejoice in the way it makes you feel.

nells. great club great crowd. i miss home so much. fuck coronavirus.

I hate flying.. I listen to this every time I fly and it puts me at ease. Van the man

This is the first album by Van Morrison that I ever bought, back in my high school days. I have listened to many of his other albums, but I have yet to find one I like as much as this one. Then, come to find out the critics lambasted this album when it came out, roasting Van and calling this posturing. I don't know...do critics have to get lobotomized in order to become critics?? THIS IS VAN'S BEST ALBUM AND THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON HIS BEST ALBUM...and it's far too short at almost sixteen minutes. Can you feel the liiiiiiiight???

My story time one oh my treasury in the sunset

Truly one of the great songs of the century

Thanks for sharing! Reminds us all why we love Van and his music so-o-o much!!!!!!❤

ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! graet ant thanks, but you must record from the start of the song. Thanks for the video

The Soul don't Stop, Rave on Van!

All the poets. A true tribute.

How can someone sing "why why why why why why why why" and make it sound so. amazing. : Van Morrison.

There is a sound quality that takes you away from even the music to evoke ideas and emotions. The bass and the drums work together to create the sound of a fire with crackling sounds. The horns and the vocals act like flames. Later, the saxophones personifies a young woman wailing and Van's vocals sound like sobbing as well. Van begins with an invitation "Will you meet in the country in the summertime in England". He refers to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Joyce such that this will not be a simple song. "Wordsworth and Coleridge were smoking up in Kendal". Van is taking us on a sort of drug trip as supported by Pee Wee's saxophone drawing in long breaths as if smoking a joint. The vocals combined with the bass create a turning sensation then supported by the image of the red dress "dangling all around your body". It is about now where the song becomes very funky. The influence of James Brown becomes apparent. (Pee Wee Ellis worked for James Brown.) This is a bridge to another part and Van begins to describe the woman as the strings come and he references the sounds of Mahalia Jackson, the gospel singer and the girl's suffering, where she wants to be to be called Common One. The music shifts again it starts to feel like a funeral march. "Oh my Common One with the suffering so fine. Take a walk with me." You can then hear how Van's vocals begin to sound like tears"And I will show you it ain't why why why why, it just is." The strings add to this, but then we come back to the refrain with the invitation to meet him in the country with her red dress dangling around her body. Remember this is a drug trip, but now he mentions T.S. Elliot the poet who joined the church. We are moving from a drug trip to something spiritual. "Will you meet me down by Avalon in the summertime of England in the church of St Joan." The strings come in creating the "light". The funeral march returns with the description of the girl suffering. The horns begins to sound like sobs, and Van sobs with "it ain't why why why why, it just is". The two are talking in sobs. The saxophone becomes the girl crying which increases in intensity. The drums and the bass work to increase the intensity further. Somehow the sobbing slows and one feels lifted and gently carried to a soft peaceful place. Wow.

just one of Vans many great albums

dance pumps on...twirling round the back yard.. nice and loud.....ohh god the...... sawing strings..the bass..hi hat..and the serious fucking horn section this is quite extraordinary..I'm not sure I have ever heard anything like this before

Pretty amazing. From Van AND the Band

Didja ever hear about/didja ever hear about/didja ever hear about/Wordsworth and Coleridge? They were smokin' up in Kendal by the lakeside in the long grass. Can you meet me in the country in the tall grass? Down by Avalon?

amazing ! how do you get more soulful with age? he is unreal

beautiful song!

He's still got it. Van the Man!

A song I love from one of his best cds (or at least, one of my favorites) I love to play the whole cd from late summer thru fall. The songs are perfect listening for the season. Just lovely! and his voice is mellow here.

Thank you for posting! I have seen Bruce in concert 25 times from 1980 to 2016, including the 2 Christic Institute Shows on November 16 & 17, 1990. His performances of Real World both nights are probably my two favorite live performances during this 36 year span. I wish this slower version would have shown up on Human Touch instead of the uptempo version.
