As it was suggested by one of the Patrons who requested this video, I did these two tracks together! A Van Twofer for PSS and Carole. Thank you for your support and these great songs. I enjoyed the swing feel to "Moondance" and loved the spiritual healing in "Into the Mystic". What an artist this man is.

Every time I hear Van Morrison I wonder why I don't listen to him more.

Van's song "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven when You Smile)" from the album "Saint Dominic's Preview" should hopefully lighten your mood. 🙂

@GinMae 5 месяцев назад

Yes! Jackie Wilson Said - a favorite of mine.. "it was reet peteet" lol.. (this was covered by Scottish group "the Proclaimers".. it was just okay...

@cazgerald9471 6 месяцев назад

"It's Too Late to Stop Now" is the 1974 live album recorded during the LA and London shows of Van's 1973 tour with his eleven-piece band, the Caledonia Soul Orchestra. The title was inspired by the last line of "Into the Mystic". It's up there with one of the greatest live albums. In 2016 a box set and DVD were released with additional performances from that tour.

@michaelp.7893 4 месяца назад

Well stated. I completely agree. I think it's my favorite live album after only The Band's sendoff "The Last Waltz" which also featured Van.

@John_Chu 6 месяцев назад

The entire album is incredible. The final mix was done by a very young Elliot Scheiner, who went on to engineer Steely Dan’s classic albums as well as other landmark records for other artists. The band on the album were guys from the Woodstock area in NY where Van was living at the time. Oddly enough, most of the guys never heard of him before working with him. BTW, John Klingberg, the bassist, died at the young age of 40 in 1985.

@jessicalee7119 6 месяцев назад

Moon dance is one of my favorite songs of all time! The arrangement blows me away, all these years later. even my kids know it’s My Song! 🤣 can’t wait for your reaction. P.S. no pressure for you to feel the same way ~ 🤣🤣

@danielfox6907 5 месяцев назад

Van played saxaphone starting age 14/ His father had big jazz record collection. Van 's first rock band started when he was about 23. He played jazz in local clubs before rock.

@hannejeppesen1809 3 месяца назад

When Jfk. Jr died in a plane crash in 1999, Fox news were showing video's of happier times at Hyannis with lots of Kennedy cousin's and they played this song. Have always loved Van Morrison, and especially these 2 songs. Moondance have special and very personal memories for me.

@AnthonyPoetica 6 месяцев назад

This is Van The Man at his Best. I mean the opening line: "We were born before the wind" IS Pure Poetry. LYRICS: We were born 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 Yeah, when that fog horn blows I will be coming home Yeah, when that fog horn blows I wanna hear it I don't have to fear it And I wanna rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float Into the mystic When that fog horn blows You know I will be coming home Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows I gotta hear it I don't have to fear it And I wanna rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float Into the mystic Come on, girl Too late to stop now By Van Morrison.

@dandare42 6 месяцев назад

Just 5 short years after doing "Gloria" and "Here Comes The Night" he was doing this stuff and still just 23-24. Only two years earlier he was doing "Brown Eyed Girl" which was catchy and fun but never hinted at the level of genius he was capable of. Remarkble growth. Plus, Van wrote and recorded Moondance in 1969-70 after already cutting a masterpiece right before it that you should definitely check out called Astral Weeks (1968). That LP and Moondance have to be listened to in full to be appreciated. He did some amazing work off and on for years afterward but those two albums are his magnum opuses for sure. Basically, almost every album he made in the 70s is a must (aside from maybe A Period of Transition) and even less-than-essential releases like Wavelength and Hard Nose The Highway are full of hidden gems. Even his shortchanged 80s period is worth exploring but not until after you've checked out his 1970-79 work.

Other than Brown-Eyed Girl, Moondance is probably his most famous song. Tupelo Honey is great too.

@spruce381 5 месяцев назад

Astral Weeks is an amazing album too. Here comes the night by Them is very well known too

@loisrogers9042 6 месяцев назад

When I was growing up most album covers had the lyrics to all the songs printed inside. You could learn the songs quickly reading while listening.

@joeboucher695 6 месяцев назад

This album was the debut of the core of his backing band (the Caledonia Soul Orchestra) for the next few years: Jack Schroer on saxes, John Platania (pla-tahn-ya) on guitar, and Jef Labes (laybis) on keyboards. Don't miss the opening track, "And It Stoned Me," where young Van and his best bud get high on life and a glass of water.

@hudahekizzy8402 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, that bass in Into the Mystic... you got it.

@LonghopeBro-ju6jl 6 месяцев назад

Van Morrison was a staple of the San Francisco music scene in the 70s. I saw him several times including at Filmore West, Winterland and The Lion's Share. The latter is a small club in San Anselmo, just north of the city, with a real intimate setting. I also bought most of his early records and still have the vinyl LPs. He never disappointed and always had first rate musicians playing with him.

@dawnschneider187 6 месяцев назад

@clifton8929 6 месяцев назад

Van (The Man) Morrison - a singer poet, and philosopher of lyrics and rhythm. Songs like LISTON TO THE LION, CYPRESS AVENEAU, WAVELENGTH, GET YOUR HAND OUT OF MHY POCKET, QUEEN OF THE SLIPSTREAM, FULL FORCE GAIL, T.B. SHEETS, SOMEONE LIKE YOU. It's a deep rabbit hole to dive into.

@Rowenband 6 месяцев назад

That tune we played a lot with my band Rowen (whose singer has passed 14 years ago sadly). We often said that's one of those tunes we covered as good as the original. It was always good to play it live. Lindsay had the perfect voice to cover it.

“Days like This” by Van is an upper. Feel good song.

@janhanchenmichelsen2627 6 месяцев назад

Celtic soul. Van the Man!

@jimmeltonbradley1497 6 месяцев назад

His live double album called Its Too Late to Stop Now is an absolute must. One of the best live albums of all time. I guarantee it will knock you out.

@boydsprehn2140 6 месяцев назад

And the later live recording, "A Night in San Francisco" double CD, is also superb. Phenomenal backing band, including Candy Dulfer on that one. From rock, to jazz, to gospel, to the blues and back again - sometimes in the same song.

This entire album is a classic. There isn’t a bad song or an “album filler” anywhere. I’m a big Van fan and this is my favorite of his many albums.

@jimallison6125 6 месяцев назад

I bought the Moondance album back when it first came out. It became and still is one of my all time favorite albums.

@Saffy-yr8vo 6 месяцев назад

We had this album in our hippy apartment in the early 70’s. Always liked it. Learned later Van the Man would share the stage with Jim Morrison in Venice Beach clubs USA.

@GinMae 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, L33.. Van was amazing.. "un-classify-able".. he fought that.. never said he was "rock, jazz, blues, or whatever"... mostly he's been called "R&B"... Into the Mystic is probably my favorite, but he also has a great song called "Jackie Wilson Said".. you might enjoy if you have time & inclination.. appreciate your reactions...

@annheckenbach9396 5 месяцев назад

I'll make a comment about other than the videos; I am a former musician, and I enjoy your reactions; I am proud of this contribution my generation made to music. On another note, you seem like a nice guy who's had some rough road. We don't mind listening, we were a rowdy group ourselves, and had our rough roads as well. Be well, friend.

@ShiverHinge 6 месяцев назад

@jollyrodgers7272 5 месяцев назад

Two of my faves from Van the Man. TUPELO HONEY , WILD NIGHT, BROWN-EYED GIRL, and JACKIE WILSON SAID are some early Vans you should know. MOONDANCE is sixties West Coast Jazz, and never heard Irish in there (that's West Coast USA, like Brubeck and Guaraldi). The flute became a staple in West Coast Jazz once the Beat generation explored that subgenre. They never heard anything like MOONDANCE arrangement in the twenties or thirties. INTO THE MYSTIC is about passing into Eternity/Death, or 'moving on'.

@penelopehornswaggle102 6 месяцев назад

Tupelo Honey is my favorite Van Morrison song and Sense of Wonder is my favorite album. He has a VAST catalog.

Can't go wrong with anything Van. When Tupelo Honey came out I fell in love with it, still am. ❤

@Squarewave39 6 месяцев назад

Along with being the great poet and singer, Van Morrison plays, guitars, keyboards and saxophone

@texasca9753 6 месяцев назад

Astral Weeks was at one time considering by Rolling Stone the best album ever recorded. It should really be listed to in it's entirety. Madam George and Cyprrus Avenue are my favorites.

@scott3744 6 месяцев назад

The whole first side of the album "Moondance" is one classic after another. The second half of the album is great too, but the first half is almost unreal.

@Linda-y9h 6 месяцев назад

Love these songs so much, I can remember moments in my life hearing them on the car radio as I was driving and how they made the ride so much better. Thanks!! ❤😊

@shemanic1 6 месяцев назад

YES! Thank you Lee. Both tracks are up there in the top 5 tracks by Van. Astral Weeks in up there too. What a great musical experience you are having, similar to my own 50 years ago. I still love them all & sing along (sometimes in my head) & hope the music is as lasting for you.

@sylvanm4216 6 месяцев назад

Great album. It doesn’t have the kind of raw emotional effect on me that the songs on Astral Weeks do, but it is gorgeous.

@kweile4339 6 месяцев назад

I remember hearing Van Morrison on the radio but I didn't know anyone who listened to him. I'm gonna have to dig a little deeper now, thanks! It is about you too. Take care!

Brown Eyed Girl was his first big hit I believe. I liked him as soon as I heard that because I was a brown eyed girl. I lived across from The Unversity of Detroit football stadium and in that single he mentioned something about he and the girl behind the stadium.

@ajaxfernsby4078 6 месяцев назад

As to your remark about listening to music with eyes closed, I also find that to be the best way. Back in the 70s and before, there were no music videos to bee seen. I find videos to be a distraction for the most part. Sure, some may add something but I like the first listen to be absorbed unencumbered.

@thenextpoetician6328 6 месяцев назад

All-time favourites in the crowd I hung around with decades ago. For something completely different, try Baby's On Fire by Eno. For something easier on the ears - For Mom by Buckethead from the album Colma. Also, since you gave the Dregs a spin - Natural Flow by Steve Morse. peace

@joelliebler5690 6 месяцев назад

2 of my favorite songs by Van the Man! Big time popular love song back in the day of Moondance!

@spruce381 5 месяцев назад

Great reaction. Taped ( we did that ) moondance Lp from a friend’s big sister, years ago. Wasn’t supposed to be cool, but it was, is, and will always be. Van is an amazing musician and songwriter. Another Northern Ireland singer song writer worth checking is Paul Brady. The island or crazy dreams are both great. Agree with your Dead comment too. Was late to them / they aren’t well known in Europe, but got into American Beauty on a trip to Boston ( and what a long strange trip. ) Subscribed 👍

@jamesknox7171 6 месяцев назад

Check out one of his later albums " Magic Time". Every song is great.

@steveowens2505 6 месяцев назад

Van had own sound. Wild Nights had steel guitar. The horns are signature swing. Springsteen early songs had Van influence ( check “Kittys Back” performance on Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien).

@ericarachel55 6 месяцев назад

@thebullgoose6099 6 месяцев назад

While respecting Van Morrison as the originator of this song I commend to you Bobby McFerrin's smouldering interpretation of 'Moondance' on his first album. The cool sensitivity of his delivery, the hip reharmonisation which breaks free of repetition, and McFerrin's lip trumpet solo combine to make the original sound like a TV jingle for an air frier. If I was in the moonlight and in the market, I'm damn sure who I'd want singing to me, just sayin'.

@thescrewfly 6 месяцев назад

Van has always been about the intersection of blues, soul and jazz. Jack Schroer, Jeff Labes and John Platania played with him on and off for most of the 70s.

One of Van Morrison's biggest hits was Brown eyed girl. It was a song written by Jimmy Buffett when they both lived in key West, and Jimmy sold it to Van Morrison for $100

@rockandrollpaddy 3 месяца назад

What utter nonsense. Van wrote the song in 1967, Buffet covered it in 1983.

@randomperson-dy6kj 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for bringing this album back into my life! Had over-listening fatigue from my high school years (this album was a staple), so hadn’t listened to it in a very long time and had forgotten it’s full of fantastic songs. Every single one. It might be a perfect album?

@papercup2517 6 месяцев назад

You already did Astral Weeks? How did I miss it? OK - found it! I see everyone there urging you to do the whole album, and, seeing how you instantly 'got' Astral Weeks (the song) I can only concur you will love the album. For me it's one of the all time greatest albums by any artist - really something unique, and beautiful. Definitely a journey, best heard as a whole so you can truly lose yourself in it, like Dark Side of the Moon or Abbey Road Side Two.
