Speedy says:
Van "The Man" Morrison was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, along with Cream, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Sly & The Family Stone, just to name a few. The ever reclusive and unpredictable Mr, Morrison skipped the ceremony, having Robbie Robertson accept the honor on his behalf, while the Counting Crows were recruited to play Caravan.This soundboard recording features Van Morrison from The Rockpalast on April 4, 1982, 44 years ago this very day. An interesting note is that the concert actually started a 11 pm on April 3 with a set from Rick James. Van came on second, starting his performance at 1:00 am in the morning on April 4 and he would be followed by the Kinks, whose set we'll bring you a little later today! This show took place about 2 months after Van released the album Beautiful Vision, a disc which has met which mixed critical reviews over the years. For example, while Robert Christgau gave the disc a grade of A-, reviewer John Milward called it “emphatically half-great.” Opinions about the disc are so divided that Rolling Stone magazine has flipped flopped its opinion of Beautiful Vision over the years. When it first debuted, they gave the disc a 4 out of 5 rating. However, years later, they ranked it as one of the “15 worst albums by great bands.” Personally, I’m huge fan of the album and of songs such as Dweller On The Threshold, Cleaning Windows, Northern Muse, She Gives Me Religion and the title track.
