Live at Harvard Square Theatre 14 March 1974 - Early Show - Acoustic Set 1 Ballerina - 2 Astral Weeks - 3 Streets Of Arklow - 4 Madame George - 5 Brown Eyed Girl
Probably one of the greatest song writers and performers of his generation. His body of work is simply astonishing. I just listened to Astral Weeks. I had to remind myself that he was 22/23 yrs. old when he wrote that album. Thank you Ceccailif!
Probably??? Toss Pam into the Trough of Justice! If she sinks to the bottom, she's innocent - if she rises to the top, she's guilty and will have to be hung! Seriously, Pam - as a performer, there is nobody better, and very few that equal Van when he is "on". I have witnessed these "Van Moments" in concert quite a few times, and it's an unforgettable experience; almost as if Van is channeling another dimension.
@@acousticshadow4032 Sometimes, the Man, Van, takes himself way too seriously only in my humble estimation but so did the Stones, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan as time went on. He deserves more acclaim than he gets. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that he writes songs about Ireland and not America, or what, but this kind of grates on my nerves- the fact that he isn't more popular!
It's always a pleasure to see and hear Van Morrison perform. I loved seeing these photos in this presentation! Van you are a handsome man, as well as an excellent singer and musician! Congratulations!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍♥️
I think that I heard of this man before I went away on my long journey of walking and working my way around the world, I like his words and music, I will try and listen to more of his recordings in the coming weeks before I head off on my long never ending journey once again.
Concordo plenamente e endosso com tudo que falei há 2 anos atrás! Parabéns! Felicidades hoje e sempre na sua linda carreira! Um abraço carinhoso de sua fã do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ❤❤❤
Have had the entire concert on cassette since the late '70s. Arklow is a real treat here. Does a raucous, Jordan-esque "Caldonia" in latter portion of set. Yet another great post, cec
This is a truy wonderful set. Some years ago - early to mid '80s he did a stint of concerts at The Dominion theatre in London. The night I went he did an exclusive solo acoustic show - no other musicians - Van also had to sit on a stool because he said he had injured his leg. I can't remember all the songs he played - unfortunately I don't think he did "Astral Weeks" or "On The Streets of Arklow" - both of which are great favorites of mine but he did do the most majestic version of "Madame George" which I had never heard live. It was a great evening. This version on the video is also very beautiful. Thank you VERY MUCH for posting.
Normally Van's management/lawyers would have this taken down. Is he leaving it up because of the virus? It feels like a gift to his fans to help us get through this awful time.
Who said that Irish people weren't greedy, too? I don't think Van needs any more money than he already gets. Perhaps, he should help the homeless out in Belfast - but that wouldn't be fiscally responsible.
Wonderful performance with some musicians (James Trumbo, Jim Rothermel, Dahaud Shaar) of the timeless "Veedon Fleece", his second best album after "Astral Weeks". Thanks!
It is not oblivion. I love "Moondance". And "Saint Dominic's Preview". And "His Band And The Street Choir". And "Tupelo Honey". Even "Hard Nose The Highway". And, of course, "It's Too Late To Stop Now", the best live album of all time. But my two favorite are AW and VF. That simple.
A NICE GAY BUT HE SHOT STOP TO TAKE ALL THIS DRUG, S AND FIND LOVE THE REAL PLACES .HES PAIN COMING FROM SINGING AND HE CAN,T GO ON LIKE THIS WITH-OUT THE DRUGS
