      Hi Dr Steve i was just browsing some of the great mans music videos and just spotted your lovely comment about Van the man i have to fully agree with you he is a true musical GENIUS a brilliant story teller and poet his songs are true CLASSICS there are so many wonderful song writers who can express themselves in there songs plus playing an instrument but what Van has ahead of all of them he can go way beyond that and also play three of the most difficult instruments to master the Saxophone Electric Guitar and the harmonica and play them all in his songs and i know how difficult it is to play the saxophone because i play it myself , Kind Regards Alan in Ireland

    • @stevew5146
      @stevew5146 Před 6 lety +11

      Alan from Ireland, you are very lucky to live in the same country as Van. He has changed my entire musical ear since indulging in everything Van beginning only two years ago. I regret (deeply) not discovering him in the early 80s when I was in high school. I got to see him in Las Vegas in 2016. Great concert. I flew from Chicago where I live to NY City to see him at Forest Hills a few months earlier but missed the concert. Long story, but it crushed me to miss that concert when i had 7th row seats! I want to see him again but in a more smaller venue, where it's more of his liking and style. I just wish he'd come to Chicago. Thank you for your comment. Van hypnotises us with his lyrics and melodies and even the tones of his vocals. Life's great enjoyment is playing catch up with his career from the sixties until now. I am constantly in discovery mode with him and all his great band members over the decades. And he plays piano and I believe I saw him on a drum kit in an old video. If yo study his music, many lines are from great artists' lyrics he admires or quotes from people. Then he throws in the abstract from conscious streaming. His music can be studied like coursework. Just incredible. Also, we have to give great credit to his current band who has been with him for so long now. Paul and the guys and his wonderful dame (she's from the US) backup singer....all so good. Thanks Allen God Bless.

      I'm 44 and been listening to him since my early 20's and I'm still playing catch up and in constant discovery mode with his music. He's gotten me through some hard times and good times. I was listening to the album Common One non-stop while serving in the military in Saudi Arabia and that album helped get me through that ordeal. He truly is one of the Masters.

    Mad credit to the backup singer because we all know how Van loves to vocally riff when he sings. She often keeps her eyes on him for cues as to where he's going and when. I've watched this video almost as much as I've listened to the song on the album. LOVE.

Her family were a group of Irish folk singers The Black Family. I have had the great privilege of seeing Mary Black live many times Met her a few times.She is remarkable.

We heard Van's music when it was brand new, and those were magic times. Van inspired my email address, which is a variation of my favorite Van song, Into the Mystic. Other favorites are It Stoned Me, Astral Weeks, Madame George/Joy, Tupelo Honey, Glad Tidings, etc. From Minnesota and now California.

We lived in a student house metres away from his family home.Offcourse we passed Cyprus Ave most days.I called my business after one of his songs.Then i worked very near Hyndford St and the cleaner in my work place said she also cleaned for Van Morrison. I didn't get into any of his private business. I have learned all we get to know is his music and thats more than enough for me.Have you checked out Mary Black? Also check out Paul Brady,another very famous Irish musician. If you love Van Morrison you should love Paul Brady.🇮🇪

    I revere this song and the album from which it comes. I think it's Morrison's best, and that's saying a lot. So I came to this live version with trepidation -- too often, the artistry in the studio doesn't survive the stage. I needn't have worried. This is stunning. Even without (Buffalo guy) Gary Malaber's drums, without electric guitar, he delivers once again, and then some. Magnificent.

    Thanks for posting this. I love the music of the man too much to even begin to explain. A Blessing from above is the best I can think of.

    Great version. So many memories. Saw Van in San Anselmo at small club during the time this song came out when he was living in Marin. Still resonates after all these years.

      Fortunately his wonderfully talented daughter Shauna is still here in Marin singing Van’s songs such as Sweet Thing, which she sang last month outdoors in Tiburon. She’s Van’s continued musical gift to us here so many years after his time living here.

    Saw him live at the Santa Monica Civic in the middle 70s. I've seen the Kinks, Jethro Tull, 3 Dog Night, Santana, CSNY, Robert Plant, Gordon Lightfoot, and more
    than I can remember, but that concert was the finest I remember...when Jack was on the saxophone. Ain't the same without that sax...

      it sounds fresher and more heartfelt than the original... and him pulling it out of his past was a surprise...

      @miamipaul9755 Před 5 lety +3

      Mr. Picco,
      Couldn't agree more. There are times when the best are even better. This is one of those times when Mr. Morrison reaches beyond his considerable grasp and magically pulls the rabbit from the hat.
      No mere slight of hand here.
