Of all the beauty of the written word that we are blessed to experience on this side of eternity - God’s word to us in the Bible, the plays of Shakespeare, the Book of Common Prayer, the poetry of Milton, Donne, Wordsworth and Tennyson - we must surely add the lyrical splendour of Sir Van’s music.
MrNelhas, Thank you for this great addition to the Van Morrison collection. Amazing that you found it because as someone pointed out on RU-vid, there is no other live version of Van singing this classic. Grazie!!!!
"It don't matter what they say, It don't matter what they do, All that matters is, my relationship with you." - "A Town Called Paradise" - Van Morrison. I love this song. He's talking bout people rippin' off his material. I've been ripped off to, man. GB
Those three plus Neil Drinkwater piano, Ray Jones drums, Martin Drover trumpet, June Boyce and Helen Bradley, vocals. (source Guenter Becker's Vanomatic website)
Only live performance I've seen of this, one of his greatest songs. Everyone copied Van, it might rankle if some dimwit called him that. But think - all great music is inspired.
