Speedy says:
"I've seen Van Morrison 7 times, across 3 decades - the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s - and each time has been unique. Van changes up the set list from tour to tour, and you never know what mood he'll be in for a concert. For example, his September 1990 show at the Garden State Art's Center was a contemplative, introspective performance. In contrast, his April 1992 concert at the Paramount in New York was an upbeat religious celebration. Then again, his 1989 show at The Beacon Theatre was a bluesy affair, with a guest appearance by John Lee Hooker. With Van, you never quite know what you'll be seeing or hearing, which is part of the fun.Today's post captures Van on tour in support of his 31st studio album, Magic Time, which was released on May 17, 2005. The disc debuted at #25 on the US Billboard charts and #3 in the UK. The title track deals with searching the past in order to capture a magic moment almost lost in memory. Many of the other tunes of the disc have the same nostalgic feel to them. For example, 2 tunes from Magic Time evoke memories of songs from the album St. Dominic’s Preview. The Lion This Time harkens back to Listen To The Lion, while Gypsy In My Soul echoes the song Gypsy. This FM broadcast finds Van in Germany on August 5, 2005, 21 years ago today, blending both past and present as he plays tunes from Magic Time as well as a host of earlier classics."
