Van Morrison - Up on Cyprus Avenue

[@rexhake1]

No dancers, no dumb chat , no encore ,no waiting for applause , just music beautifully, beautifully done . Thanks a million .

[@alexandermills382]

Hope to see you live, before I die, you Celtic music genius man, with a tight tight band, you Van the Man, on Cypress Avenue, 7 years ago. Alex in Norway.❤

[@DvnFrnd4878]

I am 67yrs and I finally got to realize one of my top Bucket List of seeing him 2yrs ago. For 3hrs he performed nonstop. I thought my Heart would explode with Absolute and Unbelievable Musical JOY. VAN is Absolutely and Undeniably and Forever THE MAN in my Heart. This will go down as one of The Most Happiest Concert Moments of MY Life EVER. LOVE YOU VAN MORRISON 💯🥰😍🤩💞💕

So I’m 70 and have been enjoying you from afar for years. Thanks for continuing the harmonica rasping through your microphone. I’d rather listen to your well-welded blues tunes than baking cookies. Course If I put your stuff on I can bake awhile in a positively pleased mood.

It's so incredible that this man hasn't lost any of his musical skills! In my youth when I first heard Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria among others, I said to myself, that I hope he never leaves us. Now I'm 72 and I think that he isn't going anywhere soon. Backstreet Jellyroll. Van is the Man!

2015, 70th birthday concert. This is Van at his multi-instrumental best. I always liked his guitar leads, and of course when he gets the sax going well, it's a treat. Thank you Van for all the years of delightful songs, poems, griping, and expressions of human emotion.

[@johndavis1217]

He has great guitar tone and understated playing, not flashy, but very good

[@rcpmac]

Back in the fall of 2020, Morrison announced three topical singles protesting COVID-19 restrictions plus a petition to end the temporary ban on live concerts. In one of these songs, “No More Lockdown,” he crooned about scientists “making up crooked facts,” labeling the perpetrators of these measures “fascist bullies.” In an unprecedented turn of events, the songs became cause for Northern Ireland’s health minister, Robin Swann, to pen an op-ed for Rolling Stone, calling Morrison’s new lyrics “dangerous” and a great comfort to “the tinfoil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines and think this is all a huge global plot to remove freedoms.”

[@rusedorange]

@@rcpmac I didn't realize that. Van was definitely in the wrong there.

First time I have watched and listened to this video. I have been a Van Morrison fan since his early days. I started with the group Them and Here Comes the Night. His music is like magic and excites and sooths me. I cannot listen to him too often as I think that would be absurd. Thanks, Van, for all these years of music enjoyment.

[@pugsymalone6539]

An observation; Van is one of the masters. Here's how we know: he is so prolific and still on top of his game that he's cycled through multiple band members to the point that they're now half his age...and the music is as good as ever. Jackson Browne has done it too. It's amazing.

[@irenecruz5210]

What a beautiful place! So inspirational, and oh the “Music “ I’m so taking away thank you Van and band.💖

[@Colin56ish]

I always wondered and speculated where the Van comes from. Thought it might have been some Dutch heritage, but no it was "Ivan". Love the man's magic. No one like Van! Cool
