Thanks for posting this. These two great gentlemen have collaborated on some really special tunes. I always love hearing them together whether it's the tune "Never Get Out of These Blues Alive" (from 'The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965-1974'), or "I Cover The Waterfront" (from the Hooker album 'Mr. Lucky') or their duets on Hooker's 'Don't Look Back' album (which Van Morrison produced and sang and played on) such as "The Healing Game", "Don't Look Back", and "Travellin' Blues". It's always magic when they get together. The mutual love and respect is so obvious.
Thanks a lot for Who posting this! Very Special, what to say, JLeeHooker, Van Marrison & The Sound of The Swamp! All Good, all Talent, all the... everything!

Van is a legendary misanthrope and asshole, so earning his respect is near impossible, but, man...you can see the love and respect. And there's John Lee, like some kind of Buddha, just sending those vibes out into the universe, and Van can't help but let his guard down and bask in it, however awkwardly. John Lee was such a generous soul. Van takes the vocals, and there's no ego there, just "Sing it for me!" I'm a musician and I've played with many others and, I can tell you, all our egos are huge. I'm sure John Lee had his as well, but he seemed able to transcend it, at least in his later years. I try to learn from that.
@@JefferyHagen lol I've read Van is a miserable person to do anything with. It seems obvious to me he wrestles with deep insecurities, which is shame, considering the beauty of his catalogue.
It's from a 1992 (BBC) Arena documentary on Van Morrison, One Irish Rover, so try the BBC iPlayer or Britbox, something like that. Just found the following on a website called Letterboxd which looks like it might show it: 'One Irish Rover, a documentary focusing on the words and music of Van Morrison, was broadcast in 1991 on BBC 2 Arena TV special and on A&E cable television program. It is a series of live songs with commentary by Morrison about music and poetry, it has some truly amazing performances. It includes the footage of Morrison and Dylan in Greece, Georgie Fame at Ronnie Scott’s, John Lee Hooker, The Chieftains and Danish Radio Big Band.' Best of luck in tracking it down. I saw it when it was broadcast on the BBC, not the original broadcast, one of the repeat broadcasts.
When the student meets the master. When Belfast meets the Delta. Music is a circle. It unites us all.
Beautifully put into words!!
Yes… very nicely put - 🤗
Van is no student.
Van looks at him with such admiration!
This is pure and natural so good.
it is a beautiful thing to see someone look with such respect as van does with john lee
Beautiful. Their feet were perfectly in time too. Like looking into their souls.
No room for ego’s here -
Pure soul - pure harmony - love it 💯💕
What a sweet loving soulful man he was. RIP Mr. Hooker. ❤️❤️

Music meter
I’ve read that Van is a very miserable person to make an album with.

Gospel.
Is this part of a documentary? Where can I get this?

@@perryod Thanks for the info. Patrick. I'll chase it down.
Let me know please - I’d love to see this doc
Van's accent...it's like he lost some of Irish and gained some American, but has both
Wrong.
Shame on you Van Morrison you're still alive and you've been withholding this very valuable information from the public 🤣
should of let John keep playin the guitar ...
