“While the music played, you worked by candlelight Those San Francisco nights You were the best in town Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl You turned it on the world That's when you turned the world around”

I loved both groups. But in my old age, I prefer the Beach Boys over the later Beatles. And I prefer Beatlemania songs over their said "masterpieces." Paul was very much in awe of Good Vibrations which is one of the most adventurous pop songs ever.

What got the music off course was the very disturbing and dangerous and obscene sound called rap, or should it be called black rape!

The judge in Dade County who presided over Morrison's case was latter convicted of possession of child p***. How typical.

How can you talk about covers of "Gloria" without mentioning the Shadow of Knight ? They had a hit with it and probably gave Van his first big pay out. No mention of the mob clutch on the Bang label.

I believe that it was the amount of poop 💩 found on the sidewalks. Actually, it was an intelligence operation that stopped the HA movement. The operation used a ”family” named Manson in connection with another CIA operation called “Midnight Climax” that utilized Charlie’s “girls.”

Zappa, Patron Saint of Rock. I can understand why all musicians appeared to kiss the ring.

Van Morrison is a brilliant musician. Unfortunately, he gave one of the worst concerts I've ever seen. He could have cared less about his audience. Complete disrespect.

Van Morrison is a wonderful artist who (thanks to a strange fluke) I once had the pleasure of sharing a stage with: th-cam.com/video/o4e9GWmmCxs/w-d-xo.html

Dude has always been ludicrously full of his own bullshit and it's ridiculous. Just like Roy Acuff said about Hank Williams, he's got "a million dollar voice and a ten cent brain".

Yes sir Mr Morrison.

THE ONE THAT WROTE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER MALE WHO WANTS TO FELATIO MORRISON...

Moody

Hes had a lot of great music ...he comes off as a bit headcase though . Just from what ive read anyway

Oh come on. Spiritual? George believed in pagan Hinduism. You can call him a mystic but hardly spiritual. His first marriage didn't last because of his infidelities and he was a coke head most of his life. Hardly a spiritual thing to do.

Well just occasionally we can still find it today ... We saw The Manfreds a few months ago in London. An amazing show. Such talented guys still on form at around 80 years old.

I couldn't care less. Time always deals karma to these fake Utopia's.

I have no doubt that they both treated her badly, however, that was the company she was keeping....rock stars. I don't believe any one of them are different from each other. They all have huge egos, huge bank accounts, lots of girlfriends...it just goes on and on and on with those types.

My favourite Van Morrison album came out late in his career the excellent 1997 effort The Healing Game. He & Bob Dylan are notorious for their lack of interacting with their audiences at gigs.

Always outspoken and controversial... That's why he is called Van the Man! 👍

You got his music you got his soul what more do you want he gave you the best❤

Cab driver, factory worker, window cleaner or artist....a man can be the very best at whatever they do in life, but at the end of the day, if you're an asshole you are just an asshole. Amazing body of work though.

As my old man used to say…”that boy is just wired different”

ps/ a small advice : look over your sound and general editing before uploading. Some moments are annoying when volume varies and various sound tracks superposing one another.

I have a feeling back in those days, a lot of musicians did as they were god's gifts and owned nothing to the audience, who indeed made them famous and rich! Very happy that those days are over and many musicians do recognize where their fate stems from today, show gratefulness and treat their fans with respect!

Don’t ever meet your hero’s….

We went there in 1986 on college spring break looking for some remnant of the hippy days but alas they were already completely gone even then, just skyscrapers and steep streets.

I wasn't quite five but was a huge music fan already. I had six older siblings and came from a very musical family, so I had been around music literally my whole life. By late 63 I was paying attention to what my dad and siblings were listening to on the radio and record player, and when The Beatles came along I was a Beatles fan for life right off the bat. My dad would sit in our dinette and listen to top 40 radio, by the fall of 64 I was sitting there with him listening all the time. The change in the music scene from late 63 to May 65 was incredible. The top 40 was filled with great songs that were a wide variety of styles - pop, rock, folk, folk rock, R & B, even some country and 'easy listening' - and the creativity was astounding. I had no idea how lucky I was, that was just the norm for me. The music world has changed drastically in recent years, and not for the better. Hopefully things get back on track some day, though we'll never see anything like the 60's ever again.

I grew up with both and never considered The Beach Boys on par with The Beatles.

There is a 3rd perspective about Vans behavior… He’s just an asshole.

March 6,1965!!! My Girl!

Can stand this auld tool and think his music is VASTLY overrated.. ! 🤷‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Eric must have been drunk/high when first choosing Lori Del Santo over Pattie Boyd. Not even close comparison.

The healthy Syd Barett was very creative. He was a talented, gifted young man. Unfortunately, he had the wrong friends. When Syd met Nick Mason in 1964, Mason says Syd was already smoking a joint now and again. The shared flat in which Syd lived was even worse. Founded Pink Floyd at 19. Released 2 solo albums at 24. When he recorded them, Syd was already on the verge of schizophrenia... At 24, Syd was a sick person... He tried again in 1972 with the group Stars. Syd Barett had his lapses here too!!! He failed as a painter and musician. Psychiatry was not yet ready at that time. The Barrett family says nothing about what kind of illness Syd had ???? I am interested in how Syd lived with his illness???? Unfortunately, there are no more books in German...

1st rule of life for men,--"never drink with an "Irish-man--or Scots-man"--keep away from women with "red-hair"-or anyone with "red-hair"--there is no pot of gold,at a Rainbow,--never,look in a barrel in Frisco,keep away from sailors,--or anyone wearing Pink,--& never get married,--finally my son "never Piss into the Wind"

why do so many find it hard to believe that getting into the 'zone' relies on mind bending drugs. To presume that is to disrespect the essesnce of a man and his art

I don't know what's greater. The video or these comments. Time well spent giving attention to both. 🕊️

Won award for Mr congeniality seven years in a row.

Never know the man just love his music.

Speed. It was speed. Now known as meth.

Yeah I was senior in High School in Louisiana and heard on a Friday he was playing in Houston. My buddy whom I played guitar with was ordered to come with me after we got off at 3 in the afternoon. We drove up to an auditorium that only had around 500 seats or so it seemed and had been sold out for 3 months. I jumped out of the truck and the 1st person I walked up to and asked for tickets said yes, I have 2. Wavelength was the Album he was promoting and I can tell you he put on a clinic. He led his band like a conducter bringing them down to a whisper and then back up to a freight train. I'm a pro musician of 48 years and I tell you it was magical. I've seen every show there is to see in New Orleans and elsewhere and he was so into it, Flash forward to Jazz Fest in New Orleans around 2000 and he was horrible but I gave him a pass lol. He can really be a jackass and thats too bad. Love his music especially Cleaning Windows w Mark Knopler Natalia, Innarticulate Speach of the Heart and I could go on. I saw Rickie Lee in Baton Rouge and she had been on BOURBON STREET all day. She was amazing but incredibly rude, nasty, rubbing her cameltoe around the mic stand, cussing out someone in the audience etc.......Nothing I didn't do once or twice lol.

I think he had an underlying neurological disease, like MS, epilepsy, ADEM etc….

T B SHEETS... Had to be tough to deal with.
