Many years ago, I sat at the front table for a singer/songwriter round table at The Bottom Line in NYC's Greenwich Village. Each of the four singers would talk about a song they wrote and then play it, with the others joining in as they saw fit. Luka was the youngest and least well-known that night but really held his own, with his own songs and playing along with the others. They were Roseanne Cash, David Byrne, and Lou Reed.
Cool. Saw John Hartford there around '76 which turned out to be an awesome treat. One and only time I went to places like that.
Absolutely Magnificent Thank you. One of my favourites. TOP Job.
Mr Bloom was definitely on the train ,put his own ticket on it .very good
This was a big ask to cover the song that holds so many memories for so many people. You nailed it. Well done and thank you. It is fitting that you got to cover this one after a lifetime of contribution to music in Ireland.
What a joy to hear Luka's stunning voice & guitar playing again and a treat to have it interpret a Van song on this special occasion. Beautifully staged as well in these times of lockdown - I love the stained glass and the chicken at his feet!
Just stumbled onto the #RaveOnVanMorrison playlist the other day and there's some really superb covers on there. This is up with the best of them. Thank you for uploading. When the world is going mad these tunes really help.
Any relation to Rufus or Loudon?
@@emcbride7453 I'm afraid not :(
Fair play, Luka! A tough challenge and you pulled it off so well!
This version takes the mystical magic of one of the most enigmatic songs in rock history to a place so new while adding to its spirit that it deserves to exist as a different song. Jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Whenever I hear “Madam George” I feel like a child; so much of what’s being expressed goes over my head... you’re right, an enigmatic song.
All I know is that I come out of the experience with a profound sense of loss and sadness.
Soooo well done, thnx buddy !!!
Luka, What a performance. You made this incredible song yours. Outstanding!!! Loved your chicken. 👏👏 🍀 ✨ 🌠

Fantabulllouuuuuus bro'! A.x

Spot on Luka. I will always remember a gig of yours in the Underground on Dame St., I think you were starting a residency there. The brother was your backing band and there was a leak in the roof with rain or a burst pipe dripping all around so you had to do an acoustic set as did Christy. Must have been one of your toughest ever as the crowd was a little drunk and kept talking and the old acoustic wasn't loud enough to drown them out. You played your heart out and it was hugely memorable.
Wow❤ thats so good xxx
This is a woeful rendition of a great song.
Nice one Luka! Greetings from Mary and Brian, keeping her lit!!
Like this very much and what a setting.
Fabulous, seriously. Thank you!
Awesome version, Luka.
You got lost in that as did I. Thank you👏👏👏 ( that chicken was mesmerised Luka😂)

Oh, cool one!
Tough one to cover. Well done. Iconic song. Your hen laid an egg at the end.
That was sublime Luka!

AWESOME LOVE STAIN GLASS
Nice one Barry!
Pity Bap Kennedy wasn't alive to sing this song.
Nice version by Luka Bloom. It's good that he doesn't try to mimic Van as nobody succeeds at that.
