“Music is spiritual. The music business is not.”

 

– Van Morrison

 

Van Morrison (born George Ivan Morrison; 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician. His live performances at their best are described as transcendental while some of his recordings, such as the studio albums Astral Weeks and Moondance and the live album It’s Too Late to Stop Now, are critically acclaimed and appear at the top of many greatest album lists.

 

Below is a great concert from 1973 with Van Morrison and The Caledonia Soul Orchestra that I hope you like as much as I do.

Enjoy!
