[@SanjooKusuriyacho]

One of the best and brightest tune in “The Last Waltz”. Particularly, it’s very incredible matching between Van’s shout and gougeous brass section arranged by Allen Toussaint.

[@mattgilbert7347]

I love the way that counterpoint melody sneaks in sideways towards the end then just BAM takes center stage.

[@brianmiller5265]

One of my fave parts in music history. The camera sweeps by the back of the Band

At 3:10 is music

I love how amused the Band were by Van and especially his awesome exit. One of my favs

[@koDaffi]

Yeah he had horrible stage anxiety. They almost had to force him to even perform. Levon talks about it wonderfully in his biography.

[@bobl310]

As did some of the Band. They even wrote a little song about it 😊

[@alexpilgrim8248]

He looked winded, but finished the set with style.

[@irvy78]

[@irvy78]

I thought he left as he pulled a muscle with the leg kicks? Maybe its just a good yarn? What do I know

[@mikekisonu6825]

The INDISPUTABLE thing about GOOD music is its TIMELESSNESS. Long after we and Van inevitably become “cosmic dust,” this beautifully filmed record will exist, to show FUTURE generations, what PASSION, and yes, SOUL, are all about. 😔😊

And don't be tricked by a voice or next superstar bolloxs . Find your time to shine ✨️ without Simon getting your money

The first time I saw that movie in 1978 I was 14. Music at that age is unforgettable

[@Bobskiboy85]

From 2:50 on....that beautiful lead guitar from Robbie and the appreciation for it Van shows when he just pauses a bit and says 'yeh' at 3:00....love it.

[@elrossothematch]

I love hearing his big dorty Belfast accent on “switch on your electric LITE”.

[@wlangley88]

I sing very well, especially Blues, but I have never attempted a Van Morrison song...........don't think I would/could do it justice.

[@filmsmadeover-easy1996]

As much as I love this film and Van Morrison it's hard to deny how drunk he was here lmfaooo 😅

[@cedarcannon1585]

that kick at 3:45 is best thing ever

[@williamweathers8183]

Those guys go all out. It is amazing to me, how something that is in a few creative souls can, in one instance, find joyful celebratory acceptance in many generations to come. Van and Robbie are poetic masters of just such phenomena.

[@TomWatsonB1]

At the end Robbie is thinking, "Where did he go??? I better end the song." Robbie looks a bit bewildered and recovers by saying, "Hey, Van the man!"

[@bobl310]

Van actually pulled a muscle doing the kicks at the end of the song and that is why he sort of left abruptly, BUT not without doing one last “move” during his exit. That exit is prob one of my favorite things about the whole show.

Love this...Van and the Band were having a blast! They were totally into it!

[@s_wggns]

If you’ve heard this version, before hearing the studio version, it will completely ruin it for you. Can’t put this kind of energy into a album

[@sonavagun9283]

So true. That kind of raw emotion can't be captured in a studio. It develops on stage with the collaboration of all the musicians. He almost didn't even go out on stage that night because of stage fright. Hard to believe he still had anxiety after he was so well established.

[@studa68]

That's what happened the me! I love that version! Made me a Van Morrison fan! When I first heard Caravan on the studio album. I was like wth is this?

[@s_wggns]

Francis Marrero lmmmao I knew it people would agree with me on this! I can never listen to the studio version again.

[@studa68]

Lol, Love the both versions now. Just took a while to get used to it.

[@roller325]

You can like both versions. Nothing chills me out quite like the studio version. But this version is electric. Won't be listening to it to de-stress after a long day, though; that's what the studio version is for.

“There is great joy. It lives within you and lives in your genuine relationships with others. This joy is born of gratitude, service and recognition. It is not the kind of joy one has by having immediate sensations of delight. It is more a joy that a miracle is happening in your life, and you are bearing witness to it.” Steps To Knowledge Continuation Training Marshall Vian Summers

This was the best performance in the entire show, the way he improvised in the middle of that song was incredible.

[@rkcfish204]

Just read in Clinton Heylin’s biography that he tried to leave before the concert to change out of those leotards he was wearing - Robbie wouldn’t let him so he was really freaked out before he went on. Turn it up!!!! Awesome. Stole the show. Kinda like what Billy Preston did at Bangladesh
