I dread the day Van physically leaves us. It'll be hard to say goodbye. He is one of the top greats in the world. For me, it's Van, Sinatra, Bennett, and Etta James
@George Ivan Morrison I am stilllllll. sssstttt listening enjoying. Great you did it Your voice directs you, like all singers, which way you had and have to go! Do nicely🌺👌🌷
Seeing that kind of experience, both shared and independent of one another, Van and John Lee blend that mutual magic and create a sound that almost brings me to tears. Why can't it all be that way?
Ta so much Woolhall for the true blue share and care wisdom in life 🌈☕💫 and Thank you so very much Van Morrison for your share and care Of sight and soul in song 🎷🎷🎷 the rest I'll be shhh 🙂
Being interviewed by one's partner (former) must be odd. Side note: I once saw Van and Michelle walking through Bath and he was dressed exactly as in the video. Nice look, cravat man.
This is very old footage; I read part of it on geocities, now oocities. Didn't know it had been filmed. Van just looks a *lot* younger, for one thing. They are already a couple by the time this was made, as I've read in one of those Barry Egan pieces that some fashion designer friend of Ms. Rocca said "your boyfriend looks like he sleeps in his clothes" & designed a "look" for him. Shades have to be his idea, but the hats & suits were theirs. Also, as he & Ms. Rocca were already a couple at this time, at least some of those questions have to be "ask me this so I can say that"; she already knows the answer. Nothing wrong with that, & you get a cooperative Van when he can guide the interview.
@@woolhall it was a great Van Morrison period . Did you get healed was beautiful live - and the whole night in San Francisco tour - excellent ! Like to see more film from around that time
@@woolhall The great Days Like this album came out this year. I love every single record from Days like this to Keep it simple, for me the best period, even there's better albums before, no doubt Astral Weeks and Moondance are master pieces, but I do love how he sounded in that era 1995-2008
INSPIRATIONAL ... "impersonal" ??? maybe the more cynical 'rants' as opposed to "SPIRITUAL' expositions al.la. "Moon Dance, Asral Weeks ... et al !!! More of a QUESTION thrown in the WIND !!! I'm a FOOL, and your an ARTIST !!!

Those Irish poets are in a class by themselves...RAVE ON!
I LOVE this too.. Thank YOU Woolhall for finding this. Nothing like getting FED up; and coming back in another way.
God bless you and thank you for your music.
Fantastic! No matter what you sing!
The music business for the real professionals is hard work.....Van the Man is up to the job!
This was an insightful interview in understanding the creative process. I'm looking forward to the rest of the interviews. Thank you. ✨ 🌠 🌌
Such a lovely interviewer.Thoughtful and laid back.
Things like this make my live happier.Thanks Woolhall👌❣
I live round the corner from where Van grew up. His accent is still the most mental thing about him
Aye. Walked along the stream through orange field manys a time thinking how he sang about growing up there
Awesome interview thank you very informative ❤️😎👍🏻 perfect 👌 philosophically beautiful lyrically
Enjoyed this.Thanks A for part 1 of 4 .Looking forward to the other 3!
Incredible
I love this man! He’s stupendous!
Hugh Laurie said it best. "There are two types of music, good and bad. Everything else is to help people sell records."
Really nice! Thank's a lot!!!
Michelle Rocca is stunning.
EXCELLENT post Mr. Woolhall. Thank you!!!!
Keith said the same thing about rock losing the roll.
I love her very abrupt and almost dead- pan way of questioning, she's a challenge and Van likes that. Best interview I've ever seen with Van.
Well they were married! ;)
@@DrumBragg It shocks me all the time, how a beatiful woman can marry such an old ugly man (aside of he being a musical genius), clearly love is blind
@@JP-xd6fm - I think women tend to see these matters differently to men. Thankfully! ;)
say he's uglyI but I would say he's very very talented@@JP-xd6fm
Like how he said: he works for a living!! Van was a good-looking guy in his younger years, there's substance to this man.
Thanks for this upload! It was a great interview, and Van was less cantankerous than usual here ;- ).
I love Van❤
Genius ❤❤❤
One of a kind!
Keep moving Van. Keep moving!
Tom Petty said something Van Morrison said Rock has got to have Roll included , it has to be Rock and Roll ( Paraphrased) or it's not right.
Congratulations on getting him to open up a bit.

@@joanfrankel7666 Yes, she definitely tidied him up a bit. He has had a fair bit of sartorial style since their time together.

Love Van The Man
Is the live material shown commercial available ? Ty
Van is very tolerant in this interview... Amiable even.. Is it because she's rather hot?
It’s his wife…
It’s his wife…
Well i suppose Van is not the first to write uplifting Christian songs who doesnt believe, but he sure had me convinced otherwise
When was this taped?
1995
Thanks. That is helpful to our understanding. I suspected it was at least 20 years ago. Appreciate the response.
