Live at Montreux 1980/1974 is the first official DVD by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released on October 16, 2006. The films consist of two separate performances by Van Morrison at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It was certified gold in May 2007 and platinum in June 2009.
The concert performance at Montreux for the 1974 set (disc 2) was recorded on June 30, 1974.[3] One of the songs played was "Bulbs", which was released as the single on the album Veedon Fleece. Three of the songs, "Twilight Zone", "Foggy Mountain Top" and "Naked in the Jungle", would not be officially released by Morrison until his 1998 compilation of outtakes, The Philosopher's Stone.[4] Three others, "I Like It Like That", "Swiss Cheese" and "Heathrow Shuffle" were never officially released except on this DVD.[4] All of the songs, except for "Street Choir", were unfamiliar to the audience, who were expecting his more recognizable songs and according to Clinton Heylin, in Montreux "a familiar conflict arose between his own thirst for spontaneity and an audience's preference for being eased into any new musical progression." Less than a year later, Morrison would say that as soon as "you are committed to a series of concerts you lose all spontaneity. It's not jazz any more. The reason I first got into music and the reason I was then doing it were conflicting. It was such a paradox." [5] During the concert but not shown on the DVD, Morrison angrily confronted a woman heckler who said he didn't know how to play the blues Morrison's stripped-down band was assembled when he arrived at Montreux, with the help of festival manager Claude Nobs. Drummer Dallas Taylor from Crosby, Stills and Nash, British keyboardist Pete Wingfield and Jerome Rimson, bass player from Detroit, Michigan rounded out the quartet, with Morrison contributing vocals, saxophone, guitar and harmonica. It was a lean band without electric guitar, horns or strings
I was 14 when this performance took place. To this day it still stirs me . Van is the best.
Van is in my opinion the absolute best there ever has been.
I been hooked on Van since around 1978, lately I am really enjoying some Ryan Adams, they have a very similar feel, though not a similar sound, a lot of soul exposure.
He's very good indeed
Yes he is the best ❤
I think so too
Just an incredible volume of quality material spanning 50 plus years.
Anyone listening to this awesome live track during the 2020 lockdown. 🎵
Not enough people. It’s crazy how underrated Van Morrison’s work is
Shit yes! New discovery of this version of my favourite vm song
Amazing. Such a good version of this song. Wish he would release more live stuff. Especially videos.
@@jbru9576 I don’t think it’s underrated. I just think he’s past his time. Kids nowadays.... amirite?
not locked down everywhere bro. get out of wherever you are!
Possibly the greatest live performance in popular music history.
What a band,Pete Wingfield keys Dallas Taylor drums Jerome Rimson bass just superb
Such a Great Song!!!
Pete Winfield... Amazing 👍
Top drawer
RIP Dallas Taylor - the brilliance of his drumming on this track...wonderful. A little known Van gem.
Claudia Gibson I know what you mean..That was sublime drumming just so smooth.
Bulbs was always one of my favorites from Van.
Probably the first time he'd ever heard the tune, as well!
Dallas swings. I love that term for a drummer who gets it and drives the damn thing. Dallas is doing it here. He is swinging.
True brilliance by all musicians! One of my fav. and probable least known Van songs.
I love this performance so much I wanna cry.
I feel the same way!
it's incredible
I do too. ❤️
I cry n get goosebumps from Van's music
A musical genius for over five decades....
Six decades
Wow DALLAS Taylor on drums
You wouldn't believe that this band is practically unrehearsed...
this is one of the best bands i've ever heard. that's incredible.
Normal with Van. He has great musos but always charges in with little prep. Keeps things fresh i guess
Dallas Taylor-he had such a great groove to his playing always
I’d like to know why people “disliked” this.
This is an amazing version of this song. This whole set was great for that matter.
No messing about, Van just cuts right through to your very soul.
This song from "Veedon Fleece"(1974), one of the best albuns of Van Morrison! One of my favorites, despite "Astral Weeks"(1968) is considered for many people how the best!
It is very good. I can't choose. Some of my favourites are Moondance, St Dominic's Preview, Into the Music, No Guru, Poetic Champions, Hard nose the highway.
@@1957PLATO St Dominicks the song is very underrated.
I can’t stop watching this! Their sound is just so good. The drummer, the keyboards… Van strumming his heart out on an acoustic Ovation guitar. Amazing.
I am 991 on the tally of positive appreciation.
thank the gods they mic'd the bass well
Shreddin'
Hell fire this version good
Bulbs one of his best, Ms Lucy too
My current favourite Van tune! So heartfelt and soulful in delivery, and the musicians are so talented. Does anyone else think he hears a striking similarity to the young Christopher Hitchens here? 😀
Ilove him forever
wow awesome tune, uplifting soulful spiritual music, thankyou Van the Man
Wow, my goodness, I love this song and have never come across this until now. This was really great.
Excellent musicianship, arrangement, and performance
What an amazing run this man has had! Van the FOREVER man!!!
if not for Van , I don't know if I would have known my true self when I did..spiritually lies not in a building for some but in heart, soul ,and tunes from my man...do ya dig?
I dig deeper than the holler,I don't know many people if any who can really understand and appreciate his music,but once you do it's life changing.
What a great group of players.
Van always had the best travelling and studio musicians. Hard man to work for I imagine. But he gets the best out of them.
Just wow... Simple, pure proof of a higher power.
My word, those guys supporting him are phenomenal…
I'm so mad he canceled his concert in Florida. Van changed my life for the better when I first heard moondance from the movie American werewolf in London and I was hooked ever since!!! He won best singer songwriter in 95 and he is so underrated. Love this man!!
I've heard everything and this is the best...
So funky 😍
How can a person be this cool...
Tune after tune, the man delivers ❤❤❤❤❤❤
All I can say is such beautiful talent.. Gives me chills, love his music
Whether it’s these backing bands or Van’s Caledonia Soul Orchestra I love they know how to play with each other There’s no one player taking the spotlight. They all play together and have these great soft rifts and fills that just flow together. They also know when to let Van let loose and then bring him back
That’s an excellent live performance from Van just brilliant!! This was a great era for him.
Sheer brilliance, I can't stop listening to this. Thanks very much for putting it up 👍
Great song! "Bulbs" is included in the album "Veedon Fleece", released in 1974 by Warner Bros. Records.
When Van was great.
such a great song.....!!!!
This is so wonderful. Love it. Fantastic. 🍀🎶
Best live performance I've ever seen 👏
It’s quality, Drums and keys are on point
Great musicians, and what can you say about van the man? Legend.
This is great! He looks good and a great sounding song.
What a master songwriter!
What a damn good jam
Can't wait for live music to come back! Van is at the top of my list.
Dallas holding it DOWN on drums!
One of his best 👏
Happy 70th Birthday- today to Van the Man, I should say Sir George Van Morrison! Thank you for such a treasure trove of musical delights you've given us over the years.
He was down on Cyprus Avenue that day.
Another one I watch over and over again ❤
When discovering a Van song so sweet like this, it just makes my spring. Thanks for posting
More mature then on Veedom Fleece. An atractive version. Love it 🧡
...and its Ben my finger slipped in the excitement. Showed this to my wife in Naxos on holiday at 3 in the morning. ( too much Raki) She's not prone to getting excited but wow!
For as strong as I am nothing is sweeter than what makes me weak. Oh great hands of time, why'd you have to keep on sweeping 'round like you have! This makes my knees weak too, still.
Indeed such lovely words.Van takes me to a place that so very few can.
Wonderful.
Absolutely awesome 🤟🏼
Fantabulous
Still kicking ass, he trullyis TheMan👊
A SOLID rhythm section here!
For a cantankerous foul mouthed norn Irish fella he sure does sing like a maestro
We are blessed that he´s as nice as he is with how little most people understand in this world.
So many works by this Celtic soulman leave me breathless, but I keep returning to this one when I need inspiration. And let me tell you, in 2020 inspiration is in dire need.
@TheHumanSpeciesIsAPlague NotMeantToBeInExistence You have a lot of catching up to do! His most consistently excellent stuff was in the 70s, but he's had strong releases in every decade since.
Great band too!!
This Wurlitzer Sound 😍
Still beautifal after all these years. !
Wonderful!!
Thanks again ! You made my night!
This was a Tony Blackburn record of the week!
My favorite singer.
Love this from Van The Man 💚🎶🍀
When Van was King!!!!!!!
Good Heavens, what a song, what a drummin', piano & bass play as well... and the great bonus is that my Hohner harmonica fits in smoothly in.. C !!!
I copy-paste the names of the great musicians: "Pete Wingfield keys Dallas Taylor drums Jerome Rimson bass" Lest they NEVER be forgotten
Happy Easter 2021 and every day too
Outstanding.
Fantastic.
Love this just brilliant!
Interesting take - bringing the rhythm down to half-speed (compared to the album).
I just love this bass player. The guy has serious groove. Pretty much like all of Van's bass players (including of course David Hayes).
I thought this was David Hayes. Guess I was wrong. Hell, he always grabbed whomever could hang back in the cut and thump. Bass is always on point with VM.
Bass player is a guy called Jerome Rimson. From Detroit but has been living in Ireland for nearly 40 years. Check him out. He has an incredible CV.
This is a great group. Anything else you´d suggest listening to where he has a great band with him?
@@trple2 thought i read somewhere he almost never played with the drummer... he was the drummer on csn/csny albums and with stephen stills in the early 70s
Van The Man
Awesome performance. My live-Van-favourite right now, in tough competition with his "Caravan" from The Last Waltz. Both live performances raise the songs above his original versions that seem modest or even mediocre in comparison. (Yes, that´s of course my personal opinion ...)
that indeed is your opinion
to me everything Van sings is a Works of art beyond comparison.
no competition to be found .
This performance blows the studio track out of the water. It's not even close. You are 100% right.
Love this performance but I think the recording is one of the purest and most raw performances I’ve ever heard, the recording is amazing
This is one of his best I´ve seen. ¨Summertime in England¨ from Montreux in 1980 is great too. And an amazing St Dominicks preview live on youtube.

Deixo escrito e registrado e ha voz de ouro e tá falado e Evan Morrison rapaziada e quem sabe faz ao vivo e só alegria o gênio van Morrison ninguém copia e só Vitória e essa palavra vai para há estória eu não vou apagar ele é talento e que reine em todos os tempos van Morrison deixo esse assunto e fenomenal e brilho no mundo
Wow. My favourite Van track. And what a performance. He may be a bad tempered old ulsterman but he got the blues!
It´s everyone else that´s bad tempered! Donegal checking in.
I would have never listed this among even my top 50 Van Morrison tracks... until I saw this live rendition. Now it's near the top, for real. I saw him perform live in Chicago in 1999--just phenomenal. All the legends about how terrible and grumpy he was in concert melted away.
....and big up to the boy who posted this. Well done does it get any better. Ben.
Sessione ritmica eccezionale!
Veedon Fleece!!!!MMXXIV AD
Love it! Effortless
What a performance!
Delicious!
Ein Knaller von Van - Live spitzenmäßig vorgetragen!
"Kicked off "Veedon Fleece" album! Best cut on that record!
GOAT
Van is the best
Kickin'......bustin' out
Magnifique
GREAT ALL TIME
Genius. Period.
Super Van!!!
Sept. 2024 ♥
Fucking Brilliant!
It’s a bit of a similar melody to St. Dominics Preview. Both I love.
his two most underrated probably. but there are so many
Van at his best
