For me, there is one musician who plays outside any competition. Van Morrison. My musical hero since the 70s. I have all of his records and dozens of bootlegs. This concert here, “Live in Montreaux 1980” is one of his best. I've seen him live more than a dozen times myself. And he is difficult. A “little pyctical asshole”, like so many geniuses. Absolute perfectionist, dictator on stage. And always on the road with the best musicians. Everyone wants to play with him. Every concert is extraordinary, but normally always exactly 90 minutes long. Perfectly played. And every now and then there's a great moment. Then the master is suddenly in another world. He forgets his entire, carefully prepared concept and simply begins to play - as if in a trance. And the musicians are always so good that they can realize his ingenious ideas. Then a jolt goes through the hall and the audience finds itself in another world. I was able to experience it twice. This concert, which I unfortunately wasn't able to experience and only knew as audio, is one of them. I hope it comes across in the same way. Open a glass of wine, smoke a joint, turn up the amplifier and enjoy. Have fun. 💖💕💞💓💝☯☮🎷🎶 Too late to stop now!!!!!

Easy to see and hear why Van decided to release this concert on DVD. This band is one his finest, not a weak link anywhere. He seems relaxed and lets the band do their thing, fine solos everywhere, two drummers is a special touch also. Huge fan for years.

Maravilhosa mensagem musical de amor, que Van Morrison traz para nós, em qualquer momento de nossas vidas. A apresentação foi linda e perfeita, junto á jovem e espetacular banda ,que o acompanhava. É uma benção conhecer um pouco mais sobre o magnífico trabalho que Van faz até hoje com maestria. Parabéns! Que Deus lhe abençoe sempre com saude física, mental, emocional e espiritual! Nós, seus fãs te amamos!❤❤❤❤❤❤
