I'm a disabled US army vet , and this song literally heals me. My heart , my soul , my mind as most of vans music does. Plus he's been a influence on several of my poems .

[@Tinpictish]

Oh, this voice! Thank you Universe for letting me exist in the same time as Van Morrison.

[@Charlie-fx9dp]

Van the Man and band! What soul!! From France.

[@FRATZROCKET]

Oh yes I agree just realized , literally how healing this song is . van is timeless , his music immortal.

[@richardbill9434]

As I've said in previous comments about Van, we are so priviledged to be living in his time and the chance to see him live. Future generations will marvel at what they missed in this talented genius of a musician. Thank God footage like this exists for posterity. Thank soo much for posting it. What a sound and what a band. Van The Man, indeed, God bless him.

[@MrNelhas]

God Bless him indeed!

[@mtease9247]

Well said ! Agreed ❤

[@stjoan1000]

Can you imagine being there live when they recorded "A Night in San Fransisco"? One of my favorite albums and some of his best live performances.

[@richardbill9434]

@@stjoan1000 That was some show, wasn't it? And with the dulcet tones of Brian Kennedy for good measure. I would have given my left one to have been there!! Always nice to meet another Van fan.

[@petermiles55]

That female saxophonist blew me away. The feel of the song moved to another level.

Candy dulfer I assume ?

[@zocker57]

Right, Candy Dulfer

[@lindafarrell293]

She is incredible! I’d love to hear her play with him singing today. He is the singer songwriter of my life!

[@gerardmclean6284]

I've been blessed to have seen my fellow Belfast man many times, and he is simply the most amazing musician I've ever seen. Live Van is truly the ONE no one has or ever will leave me utterly awe struck. He seems to transcend mere music and takes one to a higher plane. There will only ever be one Van Morrison. Totally beyond comparison

[@lynndurkan7563]

Looking to see him here in the USA! You are very lucky and blessed!

[@Timepassages]

Heard a few versions of the healing game but this concert was the best off them all. Great horn section. Everything came together so well.
