Lyrics:
And the caravan is on it's way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama, mama look at Emma Rose
She's a-playin' with the radio
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la

Bought the double live album in 74, aged 16, a revelation, still have it, still love it, just wonderful, all playing here are the best.

[@thomashermann2785]

The world’s a better place for having Van Morrison in it

[@linaninchen4309]

Wer Caravan in seine Seele lässt, kann kein gänzlich schlechter Mensch sein. Danke, Van! Danke, Nathan Rubin

[@Crookedroadpodcast]

This album changed my life at the age of 16. Now 63 and still -- Van all the way!

[@dvdortiz9031]

16×4 = 64

[@simonabbott3557]

Thank god this was filmed.

[@patriciathewisher2315]

This performance is perfect. He’s lost in it. It’s more than a performance. He’s living it.

[@keeponrollin7922]

So is the bass player,but van is like a conductor up there

[@bobertkallahan4392]

This man has an eternal voice nobody can match that energy he puts out…

[@pwhite1960]

I never thought i'd see a better performance of this song than the one on The Last Waltz , but , i dont know now .

[@bid84]

It’s hard to pick, the strings make this one for me, love The Band tho

[@mikegalvin9801]

I like this one. I was actually at the Last Waltz. Fresh out of college and living in San Francisco, wonderful era to be young!

[@xkvtrguy4879]

"Turn it up"! You bet! Van Morrison is a rock and roll god! How fortunate are we???!!!

[@zodiacbluesbaby]

My favourite ever "meet the band" section... credit to Van for remembering everyone's names

[@dvdortiz9031]

Classical

[@debbieedwards711]

All I can say is " Turn it up it's got soul." So beautiful!

I can barely believe what I’m seeing and hearing. Van is sublime in every respect. His introduction of the band is spot on. A musician’s Musician. Extraordinaire!

Ageless. This is the type of music that never age. Like a fine wine contained by some incredible voices and the horn section......

[@ronaldstewart2154]

This one of the greatest performance of Caravan that I've seen & heard so far. Glad I ran across this jewel.

[@alldaybrekkyknezevich4460]

have a look at a rendition he did with The Band on The Last Waltz double album. Can't pick a favourite, just love them all.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

@@alldaybrekkyknezevich4460 yes I was thinking the same.....its awesome. He really gets on it

[@mattryan6886]

Last Waltz version w/ Levon Helm on drums is also fantastic.

[@craigjohnston6459]

I used to think that the Last Waltz was the greatest version possible... after hearing this I'm not so sure.

[@lucillehein]

Definitely that.

This man is a legend

[@def717]

I wish my uncle Rick Danko was still alive because I would have asked him to introduce me to this genius.

Your uncle was an awesome singer/musician too! Long live the "Last Waltz!" R.I.P Rick Danko!

When Van the Man performed on stage at the legendary ¬Last Waltz` for the `BANDS` last gig was the high light of that night of legends. Say no more.

[@rolandoaponte9062]

I am undecided between this superb performance or The Last Walltz one...both are amazing

One of the greatest vocalists ever. So much soul!

[@j.dovales8713]

So true, for me from an early age, his voice has always been a tonic to cure my blues. 💔-💖

[@mattryan6886]

Not sure what version of this song I like better, This live version or the Last Waltz version.

[@susankenneth2298]

His kicks are a little higher in this version.

[@chriserwin1]

When I’m down all I have to do is play this performance ...it’s perfection

[@OWR0406]

This has the finesse of a top notch jazz band, the soul of Motown, Stax and Philly Soul records combined and this combo could rock like there‘s no tomorrow….just magnificent

[@ednasoaresbrasil3040]

Van, I feel so happy to hear you sing. Your music has the power to mark and transform people's lives. May God bless you, today and always, with this wonderful gift.👏🏿🌷🌷❤️❤️🙏🙏

thank you edna!you have just said what i have always and still do about van m!!this was the best caravan i have ever seen and heard.

[@michaelduggan1890]

I first listened to this when I was 19 yrs. old on a record player with me and my friends . That was 46 yrs. ago . I still remember it when we got our first apartment . We also had a velvet Elvis on the wall. Still amazing music after all of the yrs. Thank you .

[@dvdortiz9031]

Van the Man!!!

[@chriscosby2459]

And on vocals... Van the Man.

[@roymoulton4537]

Saw his CONCERT, of this at ,Free Trade Hall, in Manchester. Brilliant,!!!! follow him still to this day. I have seen him at many, UK venues,over the years.What a ,Songsmith.!!!!!. & Performer. Even if he can be a little, Tempremental.

[@annprehn]

Jack Schroer, the sax player was my housemate. My lover Rob Robinson was their roadie. Great memories.

[@trueblue4101]

Lucky enough to have seen this show in February 1974 at the Felt Forum. Was the 2nd concert that i saw and was the one following my inaugural concert of Bob Dylan and the Band at Nassau Coliseum in January 1974. Saw him last year in Forest Hills stadium and he doesn't seem to have lost a step.

[@larrylich787]

True Blue I saw that same show! Might still be the best concert I’ve attended. It was my senior year in high school. We took the LIRR in from Manhasset. The Persuasions opened.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

This audience were witnessing the greatest most amazing band and singer - just such a wonderful moment in time - rock soul and technique all beautifully blended into one

[@MrMusicguyma]

There is no rock artist who can say more with just rhythm and sound than can Van, IMHO. Looking at his lyrics on the page, they often look like nothing. But, oh my, when he has a band chugging along behind him, he is sublime. Funky and ecstatic at the same time. Neat trick that few can pull off. When the band hits, that is what is all about. Van is often a surly performer, but when he is "on" there is no one like him.

[@user-hq6xq8ep7f]

The Man ....... And The Band ......................!!! Back Again ,,,,,

[@livingroomc]

This just cooks! Can’t stop playing it.

[@marke2452]

Best cover band ever.

[@timoconnor2866]

Van has nothing to answer to nobody. The double CD is still worth searching down. (I would be "gruff" too if I was coming up with this magic. :-))

[@janhensley5410]

😁

[@andreaswahllof4342]

Great! His performance with "the BAND at The Last Waltz" is in my opinion the best & most heartfelt version.. He sings as life depended on it. He said he "felt like a fish out of water.."

[@juezmoral58]

His voice had more soul-power in that concert

[@mtease9247]

“He’s one brilliant performer fish then ! 😘” sweet man of music 👏👏👏

[@margaretmaskara9002]

he without a doubt was the best performer at the LAST WALTZ

[@jamesdoyle7650]

Nice to watch the classical musicians in the string section captured, and swept away....

[@janhensley3617]

The magic of real music. Enjoy while you can 💚🍀 Rave on Van! Rave on!

[@lesevans6567]

This has been my favorite singer for over 50 years now. But, if any single ladies read this. That was just a figure of speech.🙊

[@sonnyblack71]

Straight Irish soul right here!!!!! Van is the man!!!

[@robertnic.8676]

I really liked the music Van made with his group THEM back in the 60's. But unlike many of his peers he didn't live on his laurels but grew and made new and different music that is as sweet as any being sang today. What a concert it would have been to see him and Joe Cocker singing together! Thanks for posting his music. It moves me.

[@BullCricket75]

Best album ever!!!!! Love seeing it live❤👏👍

[@carschannel9824]

Van Morrison is top notch in my opinion and from the day I heard one of his songs I have been a big fan ever since. I enjoy this type of music, Bob Dylan, The Band etc. etc. Van Morrison is a Top Notch Master Class Performer !

[@symcardnel1741]

09.04.22 - 9 AM CST - Lake Geneva, WI, mostly cloudy. Heading to a gosh forsake Wal-Mart and for the first time in my life, I heard this version of CaraVan, on the radio, in my POS MiniVan : - ). I wasn't feeling to great, for whatever the reason (see minivan & walmart), but soon had out of control smiling goose bumps!!! Thanks Van and the gang!!!

The man, for 50 years keeps growing and expanding his talent. Got to give a shout out until the throat gets sore to the band. John Platania is still working his guitar magic in concerts on the East coast. Brothers, and that includes you, Van, you all have to come to Chicago for some Blues Soul jammin'. The Blues of Chicago is missing Sir Van and Platania.

[@denlo7624]

Yes CHICAGO

[@haskellbob]

On that tour, Platania was roomies with Nathan Rubin, the violinist. Nate was my teacher for several years. Name-dropping, I know. Can't resist it!

This drummer knows the music like the back of his hand. Some of the little flourishes along with the horns. He really nails those.

[@fastjegr]

When i watch van perform its like there's an intensity growing inside him and he picks the right moments within the music to let it out and you can feel this when you watch him it keeps you glued to it

[@NevadaBoss]

still one of the greatest live albums, ever...

[@mmccannNY]

I love this version of an already great song. From a tour that produced the recorded live double album "It's Too Late To Stop Now", Van makes it epic, with the change ups of tempo and volume, and some brilliant instrumentation.

[@mickhall6689]

That string section segment with the intros was sublime, very classy.

[@DasLamm68]

To express it with a British understatement: this performance is gigantic. I don't know how often I heard this through my JBLs until the window panes moved and my neighbors got crazy.
