I listen to Van every day when I wake up - same greatest hits album - for five years! Sure I play other of his songs thru out the day - I'm a new fan! And he'd sing about Cypress Avenue, id envision city streets. Ah! But I learn here why he sings about it - it's beautiful! (And another treat, I see my ancestors city.)
Hope to see you live, before I die, you Celtic music genius man, with a tight tight band, you Van the Man, on Cypress Avenue, 7 years ago. Alex in Norway.❤
I am 67yrs and I finally got to realize one of my top Bucket List of seeing him 2yrs ago. For 3hrs he performed nonstop. I thought my Heart would explode with Absolute and Unbelievable Musical JOY. VAN is Absolutely and Undeniably and Forever THE MAN in my Heart. This will go down as one of The Most Happiest Concert Moments of MY Life EVER. LOVE YOU VAN MORRISON 💯🥰😍🤩💞💕
So I’m 70 and have been enjoying you from afar for years. Thanks for continuing the harmonica rasping through your microphone. I’d rather listen to your well-welded blues tunes than baking cookies. Course If I put your stuff on I can bake awhile in a positively pleased mood.
Got to say, Van the man been listening to you for at least 55 yrs. You are still the man. Thank you for all the greatness.and your still going... Thank you🎶🤗👍😘
Bought my first Van album in 1973. Been listening to him ever since and never tired of his music. He works with fabulous musicians but always has that same crap sax player in the lineup 😉. LOVE him.
It's so incredible that this man hasn't lost any of his musical skills! In my youth when I first heard Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria among others, I said to myself, that I hope he never leaves us. Now I'm 72 and I think that he isn't going anywhere soon. Backstreet Jellyroll. Van is the Man!
The best songwriters I know and coming from Memphis I've known quite a few all tipped me off early on that to write a hit song you needed to come up up with something that's "uniquely familiar." Best advice I ever got from songwriting pros. Van Morrison could teach master classes on this subject.
I'm a late comer to Van's party and career, but at age 71, (in this event) he looks like a man on a mission for God. Thank you Van, for the songs and for your revelation.
Me encanta este grandisimo músico y excelente compositor, cantante e interprete. Jamas me canso de escucharle a él y a los fantasticos y excelentes músicos y cantantes que le acompañan... Viva por siempre Mr. Van Morrison !❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing video, Van is a gift to humanity and a treasure. Only hope to see him atleast one time before the last 'ain't it rightgeous' shadow darkens over us.
he is a superior individual ... he has never sought "in your face" attention or glory ... he enjoys privacy and respect ... that's why he is superior and a saxophone player! humility is so magnificent and makes the individual beautiful ... and he is beautiful and he's IRISH ... superior, superior ... i love him
I always wondered and speculated where the Van comes from. Thought it might have been some Dutch heritage, but no it was "Ivan". Love the man's magic. No one like Van! Cool
It's been 4 years since I discovered Van Morrison's music and so long after, I still feel the same affection and appreciation for his beautiful work. I love your songs and your own way of singing. I ask God to enlighten him and give him a good health, so that you can toast your fans with your wonderful songs for many years to come.👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😘♥️
Maravilhosa essa apresentação! Aprecio seu dom de tocar vários instrumentos: sax, piano, violão, guitarra e gaita. Gostaria de saber qual é o preferido! Parei para pensar e me questionei; sua voz, será também um instru mento? Deixa para lá! O importante é que vc faz tudo muito bem. Que vc seja abençoado seja sempre!🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏🤗🤗❤️❤️
2015, 70th birthday concert. This is Van at his multi-instrumental best. I always liked his guitar leads, and of course when he gets the sax going well, it's a treat. Thank you Van for all the years of delightful songs, poems, griping, and expressions of human emotion.
Back in the fall of 2020, Morrison announced three topical singles protesting COVID-19 restrictions plus a petition to end the temporary ban on live concerts. In one of these songs, “No More Lockdown,” he crooned about scientists “making up crooked facts,” labeling the perpetrators of these measures “fascist bullies.” In an unprecedented turn of events, the songs became cause for Northern Ireland’s health minister, Robin Swann, to pen an op-ed for Rolling Stone, calling Morrison’s new lyrics “dangerous” and a great comfort to “the tinfoil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines and think this is all a huge global plot to remove freedoms.”
An observation; Van is one of the masters. Here's how we know: he is so prolific and still on top of his game that he's cycled through multiple band members to the point that they're now half his age...and the music is as good as ever. Jackson Browne has done it too. It's amazing.
coolest THIS MAN made THEM, plays guitar. piano. harmonica. sax, sings,like a beast. he built up my taste in music, he polished my hearing, thank you SIR NEVER A TITLE HAS BEEN SO DESERVEDLY BESTOWED
First time I have watched and listened to this video. I have been a Van Morrison fan since his early days. I started with the group Them and Here Comes the Night. His music is like magic and excites and sooths me. I cannot listen to him too often as I think that would be absurd. Thanks, Van, for all these years of music enjoyment.

Well said. He who laughs last laughs best. COVID 1984 HERO & Musical LEGEND indeed. Isn’t Van awesome. He’s been right all his life about everything. He gets greater and greater every move he makes or every thought he has. Love Van The Man. 💚🎶🎸
Saw Van at the Cambridge Corn Exchange @ 1994, unforgettable, thirteen piece band including an oboe, played for three hours straight, with guest Richard Gere, boiling hot night, memories are made of this... Thank you Mr Morrison!!
There’s a concert that I was able to get years ago (bootleg) that had Richard Gere on stage with the man and waxing lyrical about playing with Van - can’t find it anymore 😫
No dancers, no dumb chat , no encore ,no waiting for applause , just music beautifully, beautifully done . Thanks a million .
How many musicians do you know who just got better as they aged.
any Van Fan Knows Liston to the Lion... a Masterpiece... But I love all his music ... non stop
The man is a genius, if I had to pick one artist only to listen to it would be Van.
Or Sir Mick.

Lucky I was alive at Glastonbury 1982, Saturday, followed by Jackson Browne, Sunday. What a weekend to end all weekends.

Saw him at Loughbourgh University 42 years ago .....best concert of my life ...Im 72 now

I dig Van's music
I can't help but note: this quality of sound in an outdoor venue is...unheard of...pun intended...and true.
No flies on you
I always wondered and speculated where the Van comes from. Thought it might have been some Dutch heritage, but no it was "Ivan". Love the man's magic. No one like Van! Cool
I thought of that too many years ago
It just doesn't get any betta than this!
cleaning windows is my jam , im a shift working and on my way home i play pool at the local joint and pump it, beautiful !

He has great guitar tone and understated playing, not flashy, but very good
