Van Morrison & The Chieftains Live on Irish TV 1987

[@mjclark641]

Sweat to God, Van cracked a smile near the end.

[@Barbie39999]

Somewhere around 8:58 Had to do a rewatch, lol

[@ednasoaresbrasil3040]

Van Morrison exudes the joy he feels when singing songs from his homeland. A happy, beautiful song that is contagious, that makes you want to go out dancing and that stirs our imagination. I really like,! Congratulations! Thanks.👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@JoannaMary-x9f]

My favourite song my brother and I played and sang this but sadly he passed away a while ago God bless my love always reminds me of you ❤❤❤❤

[@evelynoconnor3062]

It's great to see the brilliant Van Morrison together with the fabulously talented Chieftains.

[@kennedydewitt3219]

Van seems so happy here playing and singing with his pals I truly love it

[@patriciastewart2239]

He does!

[@ednasoaresbrasil3040]

Lagan love is beautiful, romantic and meaningful song. Congratulations!

[@annecasey1283]

2 talented Belfast geniuses. RIP Paddy and Derek.

[@marygilbertson2488]

I Love to see Van Happy 💟

[@shaunmcdonough9016]

No one sings with the feeling Van Morrison does. Always a treat to hear him and this video of him with the marvelous Chieftains from probably about thirty years ago was a marvelous accidental find for me. Irish Heartbeat is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

[@tuforu4]

He is overated

[@JP-xd6fm]

@@tuforu4 I think you may dislike the persona (I think he can be a grumpy old fart, and has treated badly his musicians) but he is one of the best artists alive, PERIOD. But Who's better in your opinon?, Van is a great songwriter and musician himself on top of his voice. Sure some other can sing better, or play the guitar better, but I don't know many artists so complete as Van.

[@angelicaluce3230]

@@tuforu4 YOU ARE UNDER-RATING VAN THE MAN - see if you can PULL YERSELF UP BY YER OWN BOOTSTRAPS - GOD BLESS YOU ANYWAY

[@violamartini2108]

This is absolutely amazing..What a versatile musician..

[@hansout2831]

And at around 9:00 in we see that rarest of things, a Van Morrison smile, better than a rising sun.

[@jfoan4275]

What a lot of talent there, ya gotta love it!!!

[@beaubryant8381]

Years from now, will we all look back and come to the surprising conclusion that 80s Van Morrison was the best Van Morrison?

[@andrewmair7371]

🤔 Not necessarily…☝️😐 🦆

[@josephquinn577]

I agree, Avalon Sunset, to me is his best album, check it out.

[@evilynn333]

I agree his Eighties albums are so underrated.

[@edwardmulholland7912]

It’s very possible, from “Common One” to “Enlightenment” is a great run of albums.

[@andrewkirk5255]

AGREE. beautiful vision is my favorite van album.

[@williefinn4932]

an amazing version of my lagan love...van threatened to overdo it at the end as he did on record, especially on she moves through the fair. but here, it all works out well....don`t why van does that breating thing at the end of irish airs....his unique voice, like an instrument, lights up my lagan love perfectly. marvellous.

[@filled_soda]

Agreed. I hate to admit it, but it can grate on the album

[@chrisselwyn]

Was that a smile across Van's face in the middle of Marie's Wedding?

[@mikeuk4130]

Yes, it's a real smile! Seen him live a few times, but never in a good mood. On the Skiffle Sessions, he can be heard joking and laughing, albeit only at the expense of Ken Collyer!

[@StudioSamSmith]

I could be completely wrong but I think for the whole set they’re out of tune - they’re laughing the entire time on and off

+Sun Ra No! The second song is called: Pagan Streams

[@Wuei108]

from Hymns To The Silence And we walked the pagan streams And searched for white horses on surrounding hills We lived where dusk had meaningAnd repaired to quiet sleep, where noise abated In touch with the silence On honey street, on honey streetWhat happened to a sense of wonder? On yonder hillside, getting dim Why didn't they leave us, alone?Why couldn't we just be ourselves? We could dream and keep bees And live on honey streetAnd we walked the pagan streams In meditation and contemplation And we didn't need anybody, or anythingThen, no concepts being free And I wanna climb that hillside again with you One more timeAs the great, great, great, great, great, great, great Being watches over And we repair, repair, repair, repair, we repair To honey street, to honey streetSongwriters VAN MORRISON
