Great quality! Bought a Van bootleg album, back in 1980 at Cymbeline Records in Santa Cruz. This was on one side and songs from the 1971 Pacific High Studios set. Bootlegs were risky; quality on some were lousy. Hit the jackpot on this one, but the Caledonia Soul Music was low fidelity. This is Van-tastic!!! Thanks.
Commented before but this seems to play on my machine daily. Such superbly brilliant music played by an amazingly together coordinated band. Thanks Van yet again
What's actually happening here is Vans tuning in with the band and then they all start vibbing and as I listen he's got me vibbing...its a feeling heart centered thing this vibbing...
I'm completely stunned by this sublime track. I stumbled across it today, had never heard it before, though I'm a huge VM fan. Balm for the soul, I've been listening to it all day and my heart got lighter and lighter and my mood brighter and brighter. Perfect Covid-blues antidote. Thank you ,Van the Man ❣️
Me too, and tbh the first time (I remember) seeing a pic of him when young very deep man obviously from his music but also can see it in his face. A true Musician Our Minstrel 😊☘️
Been struggling with depression and trying to get out of my funk but couldn't. Woke up early this morning thinking of a different Morrison song to jam to but found this. Smoked a J and something amazing happened ( as it always does with his music) : this time there was this small stirring within my soul that just spread all over my body and mind...and it was...JOY! I just kicked back, smiled and danced with joy i the kitchen this morning. Thank You Van
All the best people listen to and love Van Morrison. I came here to send this song to a friend, got to reading the comments, and I feel like I found my people! Your comments are as heartfelt as Van’s music. ❤️
And not surprisingly Van has become one of the leading musicians in the freedom movement that is currently sweeping this whole world. His new and old songs wake people up in droves 🦄
This is the first time I have heard this particular rendition. Had to play it several times and dance around the house... Van the Man, lifelong you have been along on my travels... now 74 and hearing this makes me feel young!
I’m still in a bit of confused shock about his new anti mask, anti vax, anti Jewish (I didn’t read it quite that harshly but I’m not condoning the message...I get “they who own the media” is anti Semitic trope) album. W. T. F. ???? At least we’ll always have the Bang Tapes
@@antonvangrendel It is okay to be confused about what he’s singing about now. More than anything he is raising questions for his fans and listeners to examine. Van is a very enlightened awake person and he expresses it throughout his music. He is inviting you to look at the bigger picture and ask why everything we see going on is happening. Through your love of his music you stumbled upon his wisdom as well as his discernment, both of which are sorely lacking everywhere. As we start to go deeper in both, we start to grow and understand ourselves and our world better. BTW - Van isn’t anti-Semitic one bit. He has many Jewish friends including Bob Dylan. He may have made a statement about the apartheid in Palestine - it’s actually sad that so few celebrities have spoken out this terrible tragedy. Roger Waters is another famous musician who’s been smeared as anti Semitic which again is nonsense. I’m Jewish my myself and am appalled by what Israel is doing to human beings who have a legitimate grievance. But it’s their government along with others who are the criminals, not all Israeli people and certainly not all Jews worldwide.n
My life feels better for having found this piece of magic. Never before has a piece of music fed my soul as deeply as this. What an absolute masterpiece! ✌💛🙌
i thought i had heard most of what mr morrison had to offer then stumbled across this amazing soulful vibe of a song.... my aunt is the music guru and had shown me poetic champion album and also hymns to the soul the other weekend at thanksgiving up north..... jammed it out on the lakeside deck and she said this is what your grandfather( who i never had the privlidge of knowning) used to listen to and love.... she was surprised that this is what her eldest nephew listened to .... timelesss music which ill share with my children when the time comes..... thank you mr van morrison.
I struggle daily, everyday with depression and just wishing life was over. Noone knows this. Lately it has been at an all time high. I come here and listen to van and it all gets a little better. Sorry had to tell someone and this is the only way Noone will know.
Do not be ashamed of your depression. Life is simply a roller coast of emotions, highs and lows. Reach out to those you love and you will get through anything. Do not think it will be easy, but every single victory is worth celebrating. You are loved my friend, I hope you find peace. This quote helped me when I was in the deepest of my depression ""
Hold in there. Praying that the love of Yeshua and His peace will get you through this, as He did me. He loves you above all else, so don't let anyone tell you any different
Well done for sharing how you feel dude. Me and a bunch of other strangers from all over the world are listening to the same track whilst wishing the best for you. That’s pretty damn cool, right?
Make me feel all right ... Make me feel okay... make me feel all right!!.... You just got a ride like everybody else nobody said it was easy ... God bless
I just read everyone's comments dating back 10 months. So lovely. We come from all over the world but Van speaks to us all. This piece of music uplifts my soul. Van is my hero. His music has saved me many times over. I'm sober 3 years March 19th and Van the Man helped me get through the darkest times in my life. He has resurrected my Soul. Gorgeous. The incarnation of perfection. Love you all. May God Bless you and keep you safe.
My son died recently. He suffered depression for the last 25 yrs, and it is what brought him to death. He was 38. When sharing dinner with his best friend this song came on. His friend commented that it was my sons favorite song. Listening to this helps me feel closer to his soul.
Van knows it. Music is ageless. Credit to the band and specially the drummer and bass who keep it in the pocket in the driven back while the others splash in and out of the canvas. This truly defines a fun jam session.
I can relate. Traveling and letting the you tube select and damn did they do good. In my eyes (&ears) this is right up there with Neils Down by the River. Don't get no better!
This is the best song I have ever listened to on UA-cam. I'm left speechless and dumbfounded at the same time at the groovy nature of the beat with the accompanying hypnotic melodies and occasional outbursts of faint vocals. This is the bomb. It's a potpourri of every musical genre. You've got a little bit of soul, blues, jazz and country all infused into this song of joy and happiness. Caledonia Soul Music, that's what it's called. I've played it over three times and I can't seem to get enough of it.
Van has a special gift of unique music and lyrics. Amongst the many many albums there are many deeply profound pieces of work. Once your hooked........its too late to stop
Rainy Day Covid-19 brought me here too! I started with "Let the Slave (incorporating The Price of Experience") and youtube autoplay led me here via "Listen to the Lion" Never heard this one before - it's blown me away!
Wow. You come correct. It's just independently coming from his beautiful soul. I love that feeling that music gives to us. That vibration of free flowing positive energy. Just makes you want to move and dance with likeminded souls. Love to ALL! ✌💗😀 TEXAS
@@j3ssmari371 I'm hoping things aren't too bad for you folks down in Texas right now...we are using all our will to help things get better there soon...Hoping you and your family are fine and listening to Van The Man being warm and fed, and have water....Cheers
I've just lost my best friend and co-pilot for over 14 years; she was Cairn Terrier named Gingersnap. Putting together pics and vids of her together for a tribute to what she meant to our family and I came across this song again. Perfect! We all are Scot-irish born and bred at the northern end of Appalachia in Pennsylvania. Sometimes it takes a great dog and a timeless song to hit you real deep.
Great wee dug . I had 3 West Highland Terriers which are basically Cairn Terriers bred to be pure white . I miss them and when I see a Cairn or a Westie I always crack a wee smile . Love from the Scottish Borders
There's many a good Dog awaiting Gingersnap,... including the late, Great, Ikleton Mace. My 115 lb, blue, Doberman Pinscher "Hearing Ear" bff, dog. After this earthly realm, in which they have departed, leaving much Happiness in their wake. There ain't no Heaven without dogs,... here, or there... HEAL!!
Oh dear Gingersnap. Hello to you and your wistful human from a lovely hill at dusk on a spring Wednesday. I suspect you'd both like it here. I'm sorry you can't.
Appalachia extends into Eastern Canada even further North. Love yor part of the world...lots of great oak trees, hills and winding roads, great cheese...similar to Ontario...
My first concert was Van Morrison when I was 16. Can’t remember if it was in Austin or San Antonio Tx. That was 46 yrs ago. I have never earned much money in my life time. But I have found that there are many gifts given to the financially limited if they are aware. A cool breeze when needed, A spectacular sunset, and Van Morrison. He has lit so many dark corners. A very sincere Thank You !! You never stopped creating the most magical music ever written!!! You soothe my soul♥️
Jennifer I got lucky as I was born in Belfast and in my teens had Van and his group Them as part of the great music scene He stood apart and still does. We were so lucky He still sounds good here In Thailand where I now live.
I guess I should clean the crib more often. Started in an hour ago and put on Van the Man music on UA-cam. It scrolled through to this one, which I never heard before (didn't think that was possible). It knocked me flat on my ass, and suddenly I have a new all-time fave VM song, pure joy to the max. Its been playing an hour now and the condo isn't all that much cleaner than when I started, but I am having one great fucking time dancing around in the dirt.
@@seesafar9912I've seen him live only once but he is PHENOMENAL. He has rocked my soul for 30 years and I cannot thank him enough for the serenity he has brought me. Such a blessing to us ALL 🙏🏼💖
A peaceful powerful song, long enough to meditate to! And just wait till you read the comments. Tear jerker guys. This is why the system tries to keep humans in fear because THIS is how powerful LOVE is. Much love to you all.
46 yo here. Found Van the Man 10 years ago, First time listening to this song. Most romantic music there is, even if she will remain a fantasy forever.... Thenks Van and happy 75th.
If I were u and he has the same effect on you as me, I would take the time to search everything he has done and PLAYLIST!! He has his own groove/ tone going and u can hear the south and Louisiana...some Cajun I have listened to him for 35 years and and still love him just the same.
Such a big smile I have from this comment but more importantly I am healed by this song after a 12 he day in healthcare,and I am 65. These days need slot of healing
Van Morrison's energetic musical brilliance brings rays of hope, honesty and mysticism to those who are prepared to listen to one of the greatest performing musicians of our time. Old Hippie Cape Town.
Van Morrison. Right from the beginning,Van never let anyone dictate what his music should be, no matter who they were and alot tried. He ruffled alot of feathers, but so what. That's what happens when a genius won't conform. I thank him for that, because I have been listening to him for over 50yrs and his music has always , right up to today, at his age of 74/75 been original. This incredible musical jam is an example of his uncompromising musical creativity and we are the lucky benefactors of it, because we get to listen.Love the man and his music and thank him for all the awesome music he has shared with us.Thx. so much for posting this incredible piece of Van's music. Go Well!
Soul music my friend! A different way of communicating that, for me, brings out the echoes whispering in those canyons of my mind. that rarely see the light of day or moonlight!
Back in the early 2000's, Van's music (specifically Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band And The Street Choir, Veedon Fleece and Tupelo Honey) got me through a really bad time. Purchased the first four on vinyl, gonna get Tupelo Honey next...one of the Top Five gretest white soul/R & B singers ever.
This song is so beautiful. Unfortunately, my sister died a week ago - took her own life. This was one of her favourite tunes and I've been listening to it on repeat! It's such a lovely song.
Stumbling on to tracks like this makes me so happy. The quality and separation is really nice. Just sounds like a jam session in a late night recording or something
Needed to hear his music this morning!!! Reminds me of my best friend who passed away a year ago! Man we both loved all genres of music, sitting on a nice patio and sipping on some adult beverages!!! God I miss her!!!!
This randomly came up on my UA-cam playlist. I can’t believe I have never heard this song before. Worked on home projects all day and then sat down on my back patio to chill out and then song came on. Perfect song to relax too. Like almost everyone else who has commented, I am also amazed at how soothing this song is. I figured I would throw my 2 cents in 🧐
I have loved this man and his amazing music for over 50 years and he just gets better and better. He is definitely the Best of the Best. He fills and soul and swells my heart with his beautiful music
So beautifully shared .. thank you .. I first heard Van in '64 with Them .. Gloria, the song I learned to play guitar to .. I was 14 .. He is a true Master .. An Artist .. tempremental and driven and so very sharing of his soul .. he has the ability to help heal souls with his musical artistry .. Van is a true 'state of mind' .. Namaste, sister.
Stumbled by sheer accident upon this at 2 am after sleepless and restless night. Been listening to Van since the days of Gloria ( my mums name and we played it at her funeral (RIP). This tune shows Van at his shamanic best. A healer of lost souls and a voice from the gods. Vans the man .....
First bought this on a cassette (with plain brown wrapper) back in the day, its from Pacific High Studio 1971 sessions. Sublime, why its never been officially released is beyond me.
I'm still wondering why "Beautiful Vision Outtakes" was never released. I think is Mark Knopfler on guitar for "Daring Night 1" with vocals (and DN2 instrumental) that BLOWS AWAY the studio version. I won't question The Man's reasoning for the released studio version, but VERY GLAD to have Outtakes.. I got two copies and have kept them in both the car and truck CD players for a few years now.
Listening to Van Morrison a long time now. Thank God for him. It is the cultured ear that appreciates this mans efforts. Bless him, his work, his health, and you listening to it. Peace. NFA. P.S. Almost 6,000 views and only 15 subscribers? Somethings wrong with that picture. Whats the matter? Is your finger broken? Hit subscribe, he deserves it! Thank you for sharing this grand treasure.
This really happened. I was walking down the street and noticed that the kids in the primary school seemed to be running free. So I went inside. There were no teachers anywhere. I saw a tiger pawing a broken bar. The school tiger had got out. The kids didn't seem to care but I stood in a corner and stayed silent in the hope that I would not be eaten. I was full of fear. From the school pond a giant bear surfaced. It was as big as a bus . It was black and white and walked slow on all fours. It was like a robot going somewhere. I figured it wouldn't notice so I climbed the leg and walked across the back and jumped into a tree top outside the school fence. The rest you know.
Essential Van Morrison. I’m so glad to have discovered this on UA-cam and thankful to you for sharing. Pair this with listen to the lion and surf the stars with Van the man!
Listen to the lion is vey complex for me it seems like hitting your funny bone... don't know how to express what it is I feel ... I feel EVERYTHING in that.
My dad left this place last year. I play music now that I know he loved because he can still feel the vibe. What a send off song you gave your dad...beautiful!!
Under duress mainly due to the U.K. lockdown -Government lack of consideration to prior warnings,waved away they did indeed,Lancet journal because it would cost £175m for research. But this music helps...
Yes,Sandy agreed. Must not grit teeth(loose molar =lockdown dentistry problem) but it is o.k. to wave head around in appreciation with a London gin named Beefeater. King regards,P
Just discovered Van Morrison, “Days like this” played on the TV and my 7 week old stopped instantly stopped crying. Found this song and he fell asleep!
Wayne Tinlin......Indeed, He is such the soother of my troubled soul. I too "have listened & been swept away by it for decades " ...Van is the Man 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣
This is the most wonderful piece of music. Ever! You can hear and feel the joy!
My son just smiled for the first time listening to this.. he’s 8 days old ❤️
And apparently already has good taste.
A memory for a lifetime!
Congratulations!
He's a genius
Soon to be 64 yrs old ...1st time listening smiling
I'm a VM fan and have never heard this one before 💞🎶 it's amazing as always
Did you get healed? Well I did tonight! Sublime.
I am getting healed, thanks for asking
I did
Van, a white boy with SOUL. That yelp, those downcast eyes, that music, those lyrics. He gets down; he transcends.
Great quality! Bought a Van bootleg album, back in 1980 at Cymbeline Records in Santa Cruz. This was on one side and songs from the 1971 Pacific High Studios set. Bootlegs were risky; quality on some were lousy. Hit the jackpot on this one, but the Caledonia Soul Music was low fidelity. This is Van-tastic!!! Thanks.
Thank you! I’ve been wondering why I can’t find it anywhere except UA-cam. 🤓✌🏼
Commented before but this seems to play on my machine daily. Such superbly brilliant music played by an amazingly together coordinated band. Thanks Van yet again
The universe's Celtic bard, walking us home through space and time.
all beats of his songs rolled into one fantastic jam session!!
A rapid pleasure to the ear.
A Música é a nossa comunhão com Deus e nessa, Van Morrison nos levou até Ele!
I wanna say Van Morrison.......For sure a big influence on this very talented musician.
What's actually happening here is Vans tuning in with the band and then they all start vibbing and as I listen he's got me vibbing...its a feeling heart centered thing this vibbing...
YEAH VAN YOU ARE THE BEST IT IS SOUL MUSIC
THANK YOU VAN I FEEL SO GOOD
After a long time I can hear clearly...
So glad he is hearing things i too smiled we must be kinfolks
I'm completely stunned by this sublime track. I stumbled across it today, had never heard it before, though I'm a huge VM fan. Balm for the soul, I've been listening to it all day and my heart got lighter and lighter and my mood brighter and brighter. Perfect Covid-blues antidote. Thank you ,Van the Man ❣️
I discovered it two weeks ago and I agree with every one of your words. The wife thought it was weird, but to me it's sublime.
Didn’t even know it was him. Just by chance it’s on a playlist from too many whisky cos i don’t remember. Just a class tune.
Enjoy your day/ night
Laughing, also stumbled across this track, but only on the 12th April 2021, which is the bigger sin?
Yes Diana!!!
Me too, and tbh the first time (I remember) seeing a pic of him when young very deep man obviously from his music but also can see it in his face.

Been listening to Van for thirty plus years. This was a gem I hadn't heard until a few weeks ago, mesmerising.
Nicely said 👍🏼
And not surprisingly Van has become one of the leading musicians in the freedom movement that is currently sweeping this whole world. His new and old songs wake people up in droves 🦄
I've thought for sometime that Van's music should be prescribed for anyone feeling down, depressed, anxious. It lifts the soul into the mystic.
Yes! It's an antidote for sure
MD here, have no doubt about it
True words
💯⚡️❤️
This is the first time I have heard this particular rendition. Had to play it several times and dance around the house... Van the Man, lifelong you have been along on my travels... now 74 and hearing this makes me feel young!
YES Miss Sue!
Van is good to the soul...makes me laugh dance and cry.

Just one of about a thousand examples of Van Morrison's ability to tap into the Mystic and bring it on home to us mere mortals. The man is magical.
Beautifully put. Let's all explore the other 999.
Please make them into a playlist for us... “Mystical Morrison” ... :-) I could happily drown in these songs.
@@tessolten8797 I love that idea, start with "into the mystic" while I get to work on that.

My first concert was Van Morrison when I was 16. Can’t remember if it was in Austin or San Antonio Tx. That was 46 yrs ago.
I have never earned much money in my life time. But I have found that there are many gifts given to the financially limited if they are aware. A cool breeze when needed, A spectacular sunset, and Van Morrison. He has lit so many dark corners. A very sincere Thank You !! You never stopped creating the most magical music ever written!!! You soothe my soul♥️
Van comes across as a grumpy bugger but by jeez his music flies with the angels.
Well said! He has that effect in me too.
It’s just the Belfast in him,I,m the same...
Jennifer I got lucky as I was born in Belfast and in my teens had Van and his group Them as part of the great music scene He stood apart and still does. We were so lucky He still sounds good here In Thailand where I now live.
What a wonderful comment on Van and the beautiful things in life that money can’t buy. You seem like a beautiful soul.
I guess I should clean the crib more often. Started in an hour ago and put on Van the Man music on UA-cam. It scrolled through to this one, which I never heard before (didn't think that was possible). It knocked me flat on my ass, and suddenly I have a new all-time fave VM song, pure joy to the max. Its been playing an hour now and the condo isn't all that much cleaner than when I started, but I am having one great fucking time dancing around in the dirt.
Van has a sort of magic that few know .. welcome to the choir.
Condo mightened be clean but your psychic battery has just been fully charged
Ya just can't stop listening...it's inside...growing outward.
Carefull, It's addictive!!!
OMG, same thing happened to me!!
I am not a religious man by any stretch, but this has got to be heaven.

Good lord, this recording is just so rich sounding, it just transports you. The mandolin playing is just next level, way next level. 👏👏👏
This is JUST ONE of a million great Van songs. Just one...
A mental ray- he comes On Stage, and always blows everybody away with the outright Talent displayed and assembled.
@@seesafar9912I've seen him live only once but he is PHENOMENAL. He has rocked my soul for 30 years and I cannot thank him enough for the serenity he has brought me. Such a blessing to us ALL
🙏🏼💖
I listen to this jam EVERY SINGLE DAY. Sometimes twice. It has completely entrapped me within the notes. Love that very talented man.
Rena, I also have to listen to this at least 3-4 times a week!

me, too
This song resonates with our souls and we are drawn into the muse. It’s a reminder that we are all brothers and sisters. Peace out.
Amen! Peace within!
You label
JESUS THE ALMIGHTY
to be the liar that satan actually is.
Just when the internet and Technology drives me nuts I come back to this sanity
A peaceful powerful song, long enough to meditate to! And just wait till you read the comments. Tear jerker guys. This is why the system tries to keep humans in fear because THIS is how powerful LOVE is. Much love to you all.
I'm 62. How did 62 year slip by? Well the next 37 will be better now that I found Caledonia Soul Music.
ua-cam.com/video/eEFPX-uTbkI/v-deo.html this is another rare special Van song, should extend you to 120 or 140 minimum.
46 yo here. Found Van the Man 10 years ago, First time listening to this song. Most romantic music there is, even if she will remain a fantasy forever.... Thenks Van and happy 75th.
If I were u and he has the same effect on you as me, I would take the time to search everything he has done and PLAYLIST!! He has his own groove/ tone going and u can hear the south and Louisiana...some Cajun I have listened to him for 35 years and and still love him just the same.
agreed
I so agree... This tune calls me to compassion for my brother's and sisters...
The official time length of this song is infinity.
Excellent!!
And I’m ok with that✌️😊
Such a big smile I have from this comment but more importantly I am healed by this song after a 12 he day in healthcare,and I am 65. These days need slot of healing
Anita Melon sending thoughts and care
Perfect!
Van Morrison's energetic musical brilliance brings rays of hope, honesty and mysticism to those who are prepared to listen to one of the greatest performing musicians of our time. Old Hippie Cape Town.
This song is like a soul balm, it makes you levitate.
@@hamiltonmil van the man ou boet
Van Morrison. Right from the beginning,Van never let anyone dictate what his music should be, no matter who they were and alot tried. He ruffled alot of feathers, but so what. That's what happens when a genius won't conform. I thank him for that, because I have been listening to him for over 50yrs and his music has always , right up to today, at his age of 74/75 been original. This incredible musical jam is an example of his uncompromising musical creativity and we are the lucky benefactors of it, because we get to listen.Love the man and his music and thank him for all the awesome music he has shared with us.Thx. so much for posting this incredible piece of Van's music. Go Well!
Pragmatic, poignant and sincere.
the most excellent review - Pamela Macneil
Beautiful written!
We listen to this beautiful voice around 50 year’s, and beyond 🌈🌴👍
Soul music my friend! A different way of communicating that, for me, brings out the echoes whispering in those canyons of my mind. that rarely see the light of day or moonlight!
Back in the early 2000's, Van's music (specifically Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band And The Street Choir, Veedon Fleece and Tupelo Honey) got me through a really bad time. Purchased the first four on vinyl, gonna get Tupelo Honey next...one of the Top Five gretest white soul/R & B singers ever.
Tell me you can’t listen to this tune and not start rocking!!! One of the best!!
MORE THRILLING THAN HEMORRHOIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to this on headphones. If you don't see God I can't help you.
True dat.
Which one, Zeus Jupiter, Odin. At this present moment Van is god
Amen.
@@smartass1liner978 All of the above. Van's at the top.
Oh Blessed Brother ! Thank You for the Harkinging ! LET IT BE ! ;>)
This song is so beautiful. Unfortunately, my sister died a week ago - took her own life. This was one of her favourite tunes and I've been listening to it on repeat! It's such a lovely song.
keep strong, brother
@@lohzung Rip pablo too!
¹❤
The comments section of any Morrison song is always so mystical and describing some beautiful moment the song triggered! I love this man!
Stumbling on to tracks like this makes me so happy. The quality and separation is really nice. Just sounds like a jam session in a late night recording or something
its like a time of love no hate.where is it now?
Church is in session my friends. Hit that joint. Good morning.
Not a weak link in any arrangement. He surrounds himself with brilliance. It elevates him.
My dad passed away yesterday and I’ve been listening to songs he loved,came across this ❤️it’s perfect
hopefully you find him again
Sorry to hear that, sending kind thoughts through the ether. Van is brilliant, your dad had good taste.
Awww. My condolences.
Great way to honor your father.
God love ya. Ive cried all day. Van tell u tje truth friend shh listen. Hymns of silence philosophy stone
I'm so glad I just smoked a joint a few minutes ago. Excellent timing! LOVE this! Stay safe, Oct 2020. London UK.
Van thinks the lockdowns are an overreach and unnessacary. He wrote several songs to express these sentiments.
Ditto!!!!!!!
Ditto to itsonlyme1
already a few over n over thx
@@jerkball07 it's lame, but oh well. Love the art not the artist.
Dang. I love his vibe. It is so smooth and touches your soul deeply. 💘
At long last, the proper version of this. Thank you!!!
Blessed ,that I was born in Belfast and followed Van...and Them, all those years ago and a fervent follower of Van since then.
Needed to hear his music this morning!!! Reminds me of my best friend who passed away a year ago! Man we both loved all genres of music, sitting on a nice patio and sipping on some adult beverages!!! God I miss her!!!!
How have I never heard this before???? I couldn't believe my ears. This is amazing, I cried. Every bit of this is just beautiful.
❤
Music at its purest. Phenomenal...That is what it is. Perfectly in tune with each other the whole way through.......Literally.
Simply beautiful !
This randomly came up on my UA-cam playlist. I can’t believe I have never heard this song before. Worked on home projects all day and then sat down on my back patio to chill out and then song came on. Perfect song to relax too. Like almost everyone else who has commented, I am also amazed at how soothing this song is. I figured I would throw my 2 cents in 🧐
Well I hope you know due to inflation.. it's going to cost you a buck I don't make up the rules...
@@petercarrillo751 so you do indeed have a sense of humour!
not much of pieces of music you listen to for the first time...and then keep listening to it for the next 3 hours...simply genius
I thought i've heard his songs allready... than this one pops up..... what a masterpiece love it ❤🙏
This is what a gentle breeze in a summer night mean,
Like a leaf with no worries dancing with the wind.
Can't believe I've never heard this tune before. He's the man..............how amazing is this.
I have loved this man and his amazing music for over 50 years and he just gets better and better. He is definitely the Best of the Best. He fills and soul and swells my heart with his beautiful music
So beautifully shared .. thank you .. I first heard Van in '64 with Them .. Gloria, the song I learned to play guitar to .. I was 14 .. He is a true Master .. An Artist .. tempremental and driven and so very sharing of his soul .. he has the ability to help heal souls with his musical artistry .. Van is a true 'state of mind' .. Namaste, sister.
50+ years for me also, I was about 16 when I first heard Brown Eyed Girl and that was all i needed to hear to know that this man is special.
Complete agreement
I keep coming back to this .. again and again and again .. and again .. Namaste.
Bow my head to this musica and yourself,top man.
Namaste 🙏
Namaste
Namaste. 🙏🏽
Stumbled by sheer accident upon this at 2 am after sleepless and restless night. Been listening to Van since the days of Gloria ( my mums name and we played it at her funeral (RIP). This tune shows Van at his shamanic best. A healer of lost souls and a voice from the gods. Vans the man .....
Just stumbled on this myself Gordon. Huge fan too but never heard this track. He does wonders for soul. 👍👍🇬🇧.
First bought this on a cassette (with plain brown wrapper) back in the day, its from Pacific High Studio 1971 sessions. Sublime, why its never been officially released is beyond me.
because folks wouldnt know good music if it fell out f their ass...lo, although we have a few here who do!!...loll
I'm still wondering why "Beautiful Vision Outtakes" was never released. I think is Mark Knopfler on guitar for "Daring Night 1" with vocals (and DN2 instrumental) that BLOWS AWAY the studio version. I won't question The Man's reasoning for the released studio version, but VERY GLAD to have Outtakes.. I got two copies and have kept them in both the car and truck CD players for a few years now.
Listening to Van Morrison a long time now. Thank God for him. It is the cultured ear that appreciates this mans efforts. Bless him, his work, his health, and you listening to it.
Peace.
NFA.
P.S. Almost 6,000 views and only 15 subscribers? Somethings wrong with that picture. Whats the matter? Is your finger broken? Hit subscribe, he deserves it!
Thank you for sharing this grand treasure.
I subscribed. Thanks for the notice
And please put two ss in his name
He aint called Van the Man for nothin!
YOU ARE LOVED!
@@darkheartlightsoul There is only one S in Morrison. What made you think otherwise?
i could live with this on repeat every day and die happy
I do just that often. Imagine I listened to 3,000 + times since discovering it, 2 years ago.....
This really happened. I was walking down the street and noticed that the kids in the primary school seemed to be running free. So I went inside. There were no teachers anywhere. I saw a tiger pawing a broken bar. The school tiger had got out. The kids didn't seem to care but I stood in a corner and stayed silent in the hope that I would not be eaten. I was full of fear. From the school pond a giant bear surfaced. It was as big as a bus . It was black and white and walked slow on all fours. It was like a robot going somewhere. I figured it wouldn't notice so I climbed the leg and walked across the back and jumped into a tree top outside the school fence. The rest you know.
This is so awesome. I literally have played it twice in a row and will continue to do so until the full impact of what I am hearing gets into my mind.

THANK YOU!
Essential Van Morrison. I’m so glad to have discovered this on UA-cam and thankful to you for sharing. Pair this with listen to the lion and surf the stars with Van the man!
Listen to the lion is vey complex for me it seems like hitting your funny bone... don't know how to express what it is I feel ... I feel EVERYTHING in that.
ua-cam.com/video/eEFPX-uTbkI/v-deo.html
I sensed that this is a precursor to Listen to the Lion. “Back to Caledonia”
The best medicine for the heart and soul of an old lady! Every night a concert!
"John, play some mandolin..." ~
OMG AWESOME. Can not stop absolutely love him
John will play a taste of violin,very Belfast expression....
this was the last thing my dad listen before he died ;(
Sorry for your loss. You are two blessed people.
My dad left this place last year. I play music now that I know he loved because he can still feel the vibe. What a send off song you gave your dad...beautiful!!
So good it needs to be beamed into space!
It is !!
I think it needs to go further than that!
It's coming from there
@@kona1940 ua-cam.com/video/eEFPX-uTbkI/v-deo.html how about this one?
Yeah, and play it back again !
This a shamanic masterpiece. Thank you,Van, for sharing your gift so generously.
I love the man and his music. Been listening to him all my life. I’m 74
And we sailed and we sailed. Thanks for posting this.
And enjoyed every musical mile.....
Been listening to all the greats in head music since 68! Now at 77 yrs old, I find Van the man! What a treat this is!!😀
I got lucky....found Van. and his group Them in Belfast 59 years ago.Knew he was special then and he has not disappointed since
Under duress mainly due to the U.K. lockdown -Government lack of consideration to prior warnings,waved away they did indeed,Lancet journal because it would cost £175m for research.
But this music helps...
I am 10 years behind you brother. Agree totally
This is the grooviest grooviness I've ever heard 😍

Right up there with his best compositions. I don’t feel I can listen to this enough. Thanks for posting. The best quality I have heard.
Yes,Sandy agreed.
Must not grit teeth(loose molar =lockdown dentistry problem) but it is o.k. to wave head around in appreciation with a London gin named Beefeater. King regards,P

Raymond Mcgivern Love this! The Scat Mystic!
Just discovered Van Morrison, “Days like this” played on the TV and my 7 week old stopped instantly stopped crying. Found this song and he fell asleep!
First heard him when living in London when 21! Still listening to him at 69. Love it all !!
I was living in Finsbury Park in 2021.
Hahaha, I mean WHEN I was 21.
Exact same....21 & 69
So good its probably on Gods chill out play list
Excellent comment!
God's own.
Up there he is with a harp,"hey, angels play this harp to this vibe if you please it"
A Local call to Heaven
Jesus turned him on
Thankyou Van the Man for your incredible contribution to music - have listened and been swept away by it for decades
Wayne Tinlin......Indeed, He is such the soother of my troubled soul.
I too "have listened & been swept away by it for decades
" ...Van is the Man
🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣
Swept away,yes.
Two words perfectly placed!
