Greatest troubadour
Detroit performance was absolutely GRAND. Pure class. Top notch band and vocalist!
Van was feelin’ it in Detroit!
Amazing show. He was in fine form and had a great band. Actually wish it was a bit louder (first time I’ve ever said that!).
Great concert
Van and his awesome band delivered last night. His voice was strong and he performed something for everyone. Old and new. Loved “Cleaning Windowsâ€! His band was unbelievable. So so talented. They all seemed to enjoy playing as much as us. Van was his usual “ all businessâ€, but all about the music is fine with me. We had excellent seats which was a total surprise to us. Seen Van several times and this was on e of the best. I’d go Sunday night if I had a ticket.
Still has it going
Great Great concert, Van sounded great and showed us he can still rock the instruments he played. The band was great and they gave us the old and the new sounds. So glad we saw him and his band. Thank you Van Morrison
Van the Man!
Drove up from OC to check out Van at the intimate Santa Barbara Bowl. For the whiners here who were disappointed with the show here or elsewhere, oh well! If you go to a Van Morrison show expecting to see a greatest hits show, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. The dude has written hundreds of songs over the past 55+ years so why would you expect him to play only a handful? Also, Van is a bandleader and quite the versatile musician, as evidenced by the sax, guitar and harmonica he played. He’s also a noted curmudgeon and rarely interacts with the audience. And what a band, several of whom have played with him for decades. The first part of the show featured terrific takes on the skiffle songs on his latest disc, then his own I’ve Been Working and a Sam Cooke number before he ran through his spiritual-themed songs, with a wonderful version of Into The Mystic. A rousing version of Gloria topped it off, followed by a close out by the band as Van exited, a normal part of his routine. If you haven’t heard any of the songs he’s written since the early 1970s, shame on you. At 78, that distinctive voice still resonates.
Van is the Man in Bakkt theater
Saw Van in Bakkt theater 9/6 it was fantastic in every way. I would have love a few more of his older songs but what he put down could not have been any better. His band and back up singers, his voice and playing were absolutely top notch. It was on my bucket list to see Van and we were celebrating my 67th Birthday.
