VAN MORRISON – AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH VAN 1968-71 (CD)

Description

More than one acoustic performance featuring Van Morrison is documented on this unofficial CD on the Blue Line label, which draws on material broadcast on the radio in the United States between 1968 and 1971: unforgettable years for the Belfast lion, who was then releasing masterpieces like “Astral Weeks,” “Moondance,” “His Band and the Street Choir,” and “Tupelo Honey.” On these bootleg recordings, which have become cult classics for fans and collectors over the years, he shows himself at his most relaxed, also displaying a remarkable sense of humor. The opening sequence is unparalleled, featuring “The Way Young Lovers Do,” “Ballerina,” “And It Stoned Me,” and “Caravan,” followed by other timeless classics like “These Dreams of You,” “Domino,” and “Wild Night,” as well as lesser-known titles.
