Location: Midland, MI | Saw it last night, came here this morning to bump the OT: Random Musings thread, but you beat me to it.
I've never been a big fan of Van Morrison. Maybe because the local 'oldies' station plays that fscking "Moondance" three times a day, every day. :eek:
I didn't know he (Van Morrison) played saxophone, and I was doubly surprised to see him blowing a harp. The cover of "I Can't Stop Loving You" was just fantastic, IMHO. "Not Feelin It" was pretty damn good, too. I missed the first part of the show, coming in somewhere around the middle of "Playhouse." |

Location: Houston, Texas | I thought the best song of the night was, and I'm guessing at the title, was St.James Infirmary. That was the one where he played sax. I kind of expected him to play alot more of his most popular songs, but I ended up really enjoying the show.
And it stoned me! |

Location: Midland, MI | Yes, "St. James Infirmary" was very well done, and that was the one with him on sax. I once read somewhere that Van Morrison doesn't do very many of his 'hits' during sets because he doesn't want to be seen as a nostalgia act (or maybe heard it on the radio). Frankly, I'm glad he didn't play more old stuff. If I had turned on ACL and he was doing "Moondance" or "Domino," I'd have turned the channel and not discovered that he's actually quite musical. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I've seen Van a few times over the years, including this Austin City Limits broadcast. His shows are always more like a music lesson than a stage show. What I mean to say, is that it's all about being in the music, not flashy performance or hype.
Masterful. |
