My father died suddenly when i was 20, in his apartment he had 4 cds out he'd been listening to. St. Dominic's preview, His band and the street choir, Tupelo honey and Moondance. This music helped me thru, gave me insight into my father, and still brings me back to my dad in my soul.
Vans music is extremely powerful. I understand you fully. Been listening to him since discovering him in 1984. His music and voice are powerful, mystical and soothing all at the same time. Very haunting what it can do to you... Stay strong. My best wishes.
I hear so many stories like this about people discovering Van’s music from those they love. Makes sense - his music is all about the deepest love in our hearts.
powerful story! His music knows virtually no boundaries. He catches on every day life, spirituality, the eternity's, and love. Thanks for your comment.
My younger brother was taken too soon by cancer at the age of 25. The night that he died, in the hospital we listened to Moondance 2-3 times through. Afterwards, I listened to Into The Mystic over and over until I had come to some kind of reckoning with it all. Van will never know how his words and music comforted me on that night, but I will never forget it.
I saw an interview on the BBC he gave right after he became Sir Van. He was asked if he would do anything different if he could do it all over. He said he would never want to be famous.
My eyes began to fill up with tears. If he yanked on just one more heart string I'd be crying like a baby. This song is so reverential. A little melancholy while still being uplifting. He was born out of an era in which we needed him badly. It got very mystical, and very spiritual. The Holy Ghost moved through many people in that generation. And no. It's not just music. Good luck with that heart chakra. Belief has little to do with it. Ask Van. The jet-set was flying too high to see his point of view. Peace and Blessings. NFA
I caught Van at The Blue Note in Boulder Colo just three months before this in Nov, '78. I believe it was this band that was there and I knew that night I'd never see him better than that night. He was just killing it at this point in his career.
I was there in the first row of tables about 12 ft from Van. Was like I was sitting in his living room listening to him sing to us....that close. It was amazing. Lucky to see him in a small club like that.
There's a version on the live double album Its Too Late to Stop Now from back in the 70's that I think eclipses anything he's ever done. Do yourself a favour and look it up.
Travelling to Scotland with my late brother Pat, Van on the car tape. Reminds me of all the great hiking trips, The Man never far away. Kind Regards to everyone.
My brother in law had a video shop in Orange grove JHB and had a VHS disc of a concert Van Morrison did in the late 70'sin Germany Brilliant Loved his style since then
The very great Frank Sinatra released his song My Way in 1969. But my Celtic cousin the mighty man from Belfast town Van the man Morrison has been doing his way from the age of 16 years of age onwards and has never let me down.
People would have been starved of big shows like this in Belfast in those days. To see the native son returning (not without risk) was something special

@@sean_d The lyrics for this line in SDP are commonly misrepresented around lyrics sites. "And I hear blue strains of no regredior" doesn't make sense. What is regredior? To get the answer you have to listen to the original album version where he firstly refers to "Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul". Then he sings "I hear blue strains of Non Regrette Rien". This refers to somebody playing Edith Piaf's most famous song "Non, je ne regrette rien" which translates as "No I regret nothing".
He is amazing he has.so much soul n his music . I can restore his looks to when he was forty . He would feel 40 years younger . What medical does to these musicians is gross . To bad I have no way of contacting him . I j7st love his music .
Videos are shot around Belfast and Dublin, Trinity College and The Shelbourne are Dublin. Never could figure out which songs on video were shot in Dublin and which in Belfast. If anyone knows please post
Forest bird Girl...YES!! EXACTLY....it was NOT accidental...Still, it gives me a sense of (dare I say it?) HOPE..That folks are STILL listening and NEW HEARTS being introduced for the first time to an artist/performer the likes of whom this world shant see another...KEEP LISTENING....LISTEN TO HIS ENTIRE BODY OF WORK....THEN LISTEN AGAIN..IT WILL CHANGE YOU. FOREVER. HE IS NOT MAGIC. HE IS MEDICINE.. GIFTED TO US FOR HEALING....HIS WAY OF VOCALIZATION IS A PURE GIFT FROM THE CREATOR HIMSELF.. IT IS ONLY RECOGNIZED BY THOSE WHOSE HEARTS HAVE OUTLASTED THEIR EARS...IT SPEAKS TO THE PART OF US, THE ONLY SURVIVING PART OF US THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRUPTED BY THE STAIN OF FILTH THAT HAS COVERED EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD ON THIS EARTH. IT RESONATES BECAUSE IT IS FROM THE BEFORE TIME. AND IT IS REMINDING US OF WHOM WE BELONG TO.....TELLING US THAT YES, IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE HE RETURNS.

So brilliant. So beautiful. Thankyou for sharing ❤☘
For a guy who has released a lot of fantastic songs, this might be one of the best.
Despite his fame I still think he deserves even more recognition for his genius.
I saw an interview on the BBC he gave right after he became Sir Van. He was asked if he would do anything different if he could do it all over. He said he would never want to be famous.
Right in Belfast city - Ireland I do think that Saint Dominick's Preview was originated....!!
Cyprus Avenue , too ...!!
I think this is the best song he ever wrote.the lyrics are sublime
You're probably right. Tupelo Honey though... it's a nice problem to have, picking the best.
Or maybe Caravan. Not quite as meaningful, it seems, but still brilliant.
Ancient highway - where do u stop
Astral Weeks too
Sense of Wonder....too many incredible lyrics in all his songs to pick one!
He's the best ever, no one comes close.
I agree. No one.
Incomparable.
One of a kind!
Maybe Bob Marley
@@RMcGivern Yes, but he's worldwide x
This is one of the best performances of one of he best songs of all time, isn't it? What is better than this?
I honestly think Van Morrisons voice is unfucking believable. Brings me to tears
Human saxaphone..
Haha lovely comparison, quite simply is!

THX -YES WE NEED HIM ????? BEAUTIFUL SOUL WE ARE BLESSED FOR HIM
Thank you Father, may I kiss your jewel encrusted ring?
I've always thought his singing in this particular live version is absolutely sublime. Especially in the beginning.
He sounds So good here!! Love the footage of him walking around.

A musical genius for over five decades.....
Best van Morrison song of all time !!!!!!!!
i love this but so many, many more just as good.I never feel closer to God than when I listen to Van. He is sublime
My fav changes everyday,I have about 50 in Playlist,this live performance is superb,his voice is fine form
Probably. Into The Mystic???
The best live version of St. Dominic's Preview that I have ever heard. Thanks for sharing.
I agree! Always come back to this one.
There's a version on the live double album Its Too Late to Stop Now from back in the 70's that I think eclipses anything he's ever done. Do yourself a favour and look it up.
There is a song called Bulbs. It is on the album tilled Veedon Fleece. Suggest you look that album up, its special.
@@musicfanhawk4523 Bob Seeger's is pretty good.
Yes. best thing he EVER recorded - 70's double live album version - and that's saying something.
Travelling to Scotland with my late brother Pat, Van on the car tape. Reminds me of all the great hiking trips, The Man never far away. Kind Regards to everyone.
As someone from the Bay Area in California, it makes me so happy to see all his references to it. He's the man.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
what a gifted soul
'Saint Dominic's Preview' would be a top 10 album for me. It's genius.
My favourite Van album He used to walk off stage if the sound wasn’t perfect such a
Perfectionist.Dedicated to his art
My brother in law had a video shop in Orange grove JHB and had a VHS disc of a concert Van Morrison did in the late 70'sin Germany Brilliant Loved his style since then
The very great Frank Sinatra released his
song My Way in 1969. But my Celtic cousin the
mighty man from Belfast town Van the man Morrison has been doing his way from
the age of 16 years of age onwards and has never let me down.
Stunning.
GREAT.
I LOVE THIS SONG.
This song means so much to me
If I could give a million likes I would! WOW!!!!
This is so damn good. Such a soul man.
Touches my Heart 🎶

This is a great original version. Other ones on UA-cam were lousy. One of my favorite Van tracks
He's. Such a heart full singer I've been with him since the start .he's real

Incredible and so awesome.
excellent, thanks for posting
love the roar on "long way to Belfast city too"

"as we gaze out on / as we gaze out on / as we gaze out on ..." The burning of The Cathedral of Notre Dame ... "and everybody feels so determined / not to feel anyone else pain..." "And every strain on brain and every eye.."
I love when he gets a certain line in him. "I don't need a witness to see."
Love the reference to Edith Piaf, the legendary French chanson performer.
I reckon this guy could have a future......
Fn outstanding
Into the music, you ain’t kidding.
There's only one Van Morrison, so there is. I wish I was old enough to've been there,so I do.
Ok Davy.
What a song!
EXCELLENT
If there was ever a blue eyed soul singer, Van was the man.
IS!
This should have at least million views wtf
The best gospel white singer!
magic!
Seems like when someone is famous like Van, the more people either applaud him or criticize him.
Awesome
Perfect
And we gazed on saint Dominics review
A long way to Belfast city too...
yeah van
superb Van but who's on bass? magic
David Gase ?
Morning song when you are stoned
Outstanding,
Shammy cleaning all the windows

And I hear blue strains of no regredior
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Storey block, with you my friend
And it's a long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city too
And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
'Cos this town, they bit off more than they can chew

Saint Dominic's Preview
All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the safeway's supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain
No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Talkin' behind closed doorways
Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shells
And for every cross cuttin' country corner, country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on brain and every eye
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

Saint Dominic's Preview
And the restaurant tables are completely covered
The record company has paid out for the wine
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile
That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
You've got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And meanwhile we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the wino few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

See them freedom marching
Out on the street, freedom marching

Look at the man
Turn around
Come back, come back
Turn around
Look at the man

How bout them horns, and background singers too
Rave on Van The Man. 💚❤️
Accross from the Cathadrull of nortra dam. And we gaze out on saint Dominic
Genius
Van climbing his musical Everest .
Huge cheer when he refers ,defers to Belfast
Ironically. The song's (partly) about seeing the chaos of the start of the Troubles from afar.
OH myyy!
❤
Nice live version
Jesus wept! Imagine being there to to witness that fucking gig!
Are the videos of him in Ireland just for the concert or is there a documentary about it. Love to see more of him walking about
Tell me if you get a response. I, too am curious
Videos are shot around Belfast and Dublin, Trinity College and The Shelbourne are Dublin. Never could figure out which songs on video were shot in Dublin and which in Belfast. If anyone knows please post
GER BED I watched that documentary years ago on bbc, probably destroyed now unfortunately.
I think the doc is called "Van Morrison In Ireland"
No one’s making no commitment to anyone but themself.

Its so strange to see Van walking around with mortals.
Socializing with the wine-os too 😇
Non so ma mi dà una gioia interna inmensa Vincent Italia
