One of Ireland’s best. He *sounds* like Ireland. I grew up listening to traditional Irish music courtesy of me Irish mom. If you’d like a taste of him singing traditional Irish music, check out his collaboration with the incomparable Chieftains, Irish Heartbeat. From the upbeat and danceable (Irish dances, mind you) “I’ll Tell Me Ma” and “Marie’s Wedding,” to the haunting “Carrickfergus,” it will fill your soul. ☘️💚

The album closer, Almost Independent Day, is probably my favorite song.

It's why he's called Van the Man. Might really like his live performance with on the Band's movie "The Last Waltz"--you reviewed "The Weight" with the Band and the Staples earlier. The Van performance is from the same concert--the whole movie is great. Considered the greatest live concert movie every made (Martin Scorcese is the Director and conducts interviews during the movie!)--Dylan, Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters all do individual songs with the Band.

Live performance of Caravan from Van's movie "It's Too Late to Stop Now" is much closer to the vibe and feel from the original studio release. Last Waltz version is rushed. The tempo is way too fast IMO.

There was this awesome movie years ago, about a bunch of misfits in Ireland, that put together a band. The movie is called "The Replacements" One of the songs in the movie is a cover of Otis Reddings "Try a Little Tenderness" I have a feeling you'd like it. Keep up the good work. Holla from KCMO.

Guys, I lived in LA from '94-'01... In '98, Van, Joni, and Bob were touring together. A good friend bought me a ticket (98.00) to see them at UCLA. Well, y'all could imagine... Joni sang everything, and was an Angel. Van was waxing nostalgic. And Bob's band was on the one. But, couldn't understand a word he was singing... Joni stole the show. NOTHING against Van the Man, or the Blue-eyed boy, but the stars were aligned for my girl.

Kingdom Hall, is a terrific song, as well as his album Hymns to the silence. To be honest, so many great Van Morrison songs. His singing on the song Uncomfortably Numb with Pink Floyd, is stunning!!! With all that said it is unfortunate for me to say, seeing him perform here in Vegas, about 6 months ago, may have been the most disappointing concert, I've been to...
