I only saw him in concert one time, but he was wonderful. I think it was in the late 1970s, maybe a tour for the Wavelength album.

Van's music has been moving me body and soul since the '60's. Thanks for the joy, Mr. Morrison.

"We were borne before the wind,
also younger than the sun . . .
Ere the bonnie boat was won,
as we sailed into the mystic.
Hark, now hear the sailors cry,
smell the sea and feel the sky . . .
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic."

An icon of music for sure! I love hearing all the old Van Morrison music. I heard on some late night talk show while driving somewhere that Van Morrison got screwed out all of his royalties from the most popular songs and is not rich or anything as you might imagine he should be! Lots of big sharks in the music industry where the waters are warm for the taking!

Madame George (live at the Hollywood Bowl, 2008)
[Click to View YouTube Video]
"Madame George" was recorded live. The vocal was live and the rhythm section and the flute too and the strings were the only overdub. The title of the song confuses one, I must say that. The original title was "Madame Joy" but the way I wrote it down was "Madame George". Don't ask me why I do this because I just don't know. The song is just a stream of consciousness thing, as is "Cyprus Avenue"..."Madame George" just came right out. The song is basically about a spiritual feeling.

I saw VM at the Hilton in Reno at the outside arena
He opened up for Dylan
While playing Moon Dance the planes going over from the nearby airport were a buzz kill
And Also saw him Jan 2017 at the Cesar's in Vegas it was wonderful but he did his set and nothing more
You could tell he didn't want to be there.
His latest Album is reallly good

Well speaking personally, rather than technically, when I saw Bob, Van and Joni at Pauley Pavilion, I was thinking "gloria this is a long show - it's good though". I was so much older then.
And Van's daughter.
34 years between my first Bob show and this one and it's now almost another 20 years later .
Can't remember what I paid, but it appears that it was 86 bucks per.

Did Van play it that night? I really can't remember, but I have both showz on my HD. Will get back to ya.
Sometimes I'm overcome just thinking about it.

Tom Jones has had to cancel some shows of late. So here's Van, no Tom*

*Technically speaking Sir Tom Jones
Singer Tom Jones has been knighted at Buckingham Palace for services to music. He was invested as Thomas Woodward, his real name and the one under which he began singing for relatives as a boy in the south Wales valleys in the 1940s
