    My husband and I always wanted to see Van Morrison (our favorite musician) in his home country. One night we had too much wine (we live in Michigan, USA) and saw that Van was playing at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle, Ireland so we drunkenly bought tickets. The next morning we realized that we needed to plan a trip to use our tickets. 😂 So on 20 July 2015 we sat at Table 16 and enjoyed the best show we’ve ever seen! LOVE Mr. Morrison.

    Van is a unique blend of that Scots /Irish genius, In all his interviews he comes across as a very blunt but very honest and humble Ulster man. I listened to his early songs like Cleaning Windows and Here Comes The Night and i still think they are great songs.

    Bumped into him in a hotel bar in Belfast in the early hours of the morning . He sat quietly in the corner . The barman warned us not to approach him and appreciate he likes his privacy. We were the only ones in the bar and sat drinking for a while eventually he acknowledged us with a head nod as he went to his room.

I thought if I ever got to see him, I would die right then and there. However, a chance to hear him in Atlanta did not disappoint. He was wonderful and I still live on to play and enjoy his music. Strange he has a daughter with the same name as my daughter. Rock on Van.

    Mr. Morrison had a song called In the Back Room while with Them and it is The Ultimo Bump and Grind ditty . I remember Him buying his folks a record store in FairfaX kin the 70s. I have always respected that and lastly the only performance that I ever attended was in the early 70s at a recording studio in San Francisco during The Moondance era. The way Janet Planet looked at/watched Him was truly wonderful, I remember it as being True Love. Too Long in Exile is a Very Good record and Moondance is The Best. Good Luck Mr. Morrison.Bruce Spiegelman

    I really dig Van Morrison; however, need to point out an error in the "Early Lifer" segment of this video. The man shown at 1:13 - 1:17 in video and described as described as Van's father, George Morrison, "a shipyard worker", at the 1:13 - 1:19 in the video, is actually George Morrison, the Native American abstract artist from the Ojibwe tribe in Minnesota. Can't believe the producer(s) didn't catch that.

    Van is the Man and his well known commercial hits are minor league compared to so much of his great music that one can discover on any of his albums and I have about 50 different ones. It is a rare talent that can just keep putting out great music year and year. I pass on his concerts which are brutally expensive because there are just too many of my favorites that would not get played. And in my books Brown Eyed Girl and Moondance are way way down the list of my favorites.

    With all the time spent on this doing a fairly decent overview of Van, why go so amateurish and cheesy on the narration.? This must be an AI- generated voice. No halfway intelligent real human would pronounce Leadbelly as “Leedbelly” instead of “Ledbelly. ”..and the house he lives in is valued at “ 4 thousand twenty-seven million dollars “ ? WHAT? Should have spent a little extra money and gotten a real person to narrate instead of a computer generated voice “ reading” written text.
