Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Belfast Cowboy is one of the most mercurial and gloriously inconsistent live performers of his generation, as notorious for his onstage sulks and autopilot off-nights as he is justly celebrated for incandescent live sets that burn in the memory. This 1994 double-CD set, Van Morrison's third solo live album, doesn't surpass either his mid-'70s triumph, It's Too Late to Stop Now, or his Belfast homecoming on 1984's Live at the Grand Opera House, but a generous set and a typically taut, virtuosic stage band are tempting inducements, as is a repertoire that mixes both old and more recent Morrison originals with some shrewd covers. With Georgie Fame his staunch right hand (on organ and backing vocals), and his overexposed band singers, Brian Kennedy and James Hunter, Morrison digs into some particularly ripe medleys, interpolating King Pleasure, Sly Stone, T-Bone Walker, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Witherspoon, Gene Vincent, Roy Orbison, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Doc Pomus along the way. --Sam Sutherland

too much from guests Nov 23 2002
Format:Audio CD
I am a huge Van fan. Van is clearly one of the best at what he has been doing for the past 30 years. That is were this album disappoints. On the ablum his guests perfom what seems to be at least half of the ablum. Not that they aren't talented, it is just that they are clearly not Van. Also I am not a big fan of medlies. I prefer No Guru, Poetic Champions and Into The Music. Next will be Its Too Late To Stop Now.

How I'd like to spend a night in SF Mar 18 2003
Format:Audio CD
We look forward to visiting family in the Bay Area every year and have such a wonderful time every time we go. I can't think of a better way to top off a great day in the Bay Area, doing whatever you enjoy, than to go to one of the shows when this disc was recorded.
It is a celebration of all different types of music in one place (oftentimes, and amazingly, in one song). From the opening horn riff of "Did Ye Get Healed", you know these aren't just run of the mill, ordinary performances. The medleys are absolutely incredible - I can't figure out which one I like best. They are each little journeys. Whether the journey is through Van's deep catalog or through music history itself it takes us to different and beautiful places. The quiet beauty of "In the Garden" is met by the rousing crescendo of "Vanlose Stairway". Even the "All Along the Watchtower" Dylan quote on the coda of "I Forgot That Love Existed" is a brief, yet priceless stop on our journey. Certainly not one that I'd want to miss.
I also think that the featured guests add a wonderful versatility to this performance. They allow Van to take his ideas about arranging a song in different ways to new places. Brian Kennedy opening "Tupelo Honey" and "You Make Me Feel So Free", only to give way to a rip roaring Van then leads us to some incredible harmonies. Jimmy Witherspoon provides some solid, bluesy vocals. Candy Dulfer's sax is on fire, especially on "I'll Take Care Of You. . . ". This cd should be played loud or listened to with headphones because of the great interplay between ALL of the musicians.
This cd is a must-have for anyone. . . As everyone has started saying, "see the back for what's inside," and more!

Absolutely Amazing! Feb 7 2003
Format:Audio CD
If you're new to Van, start with his GREATEST HITS, VOL.1. If you're an established Van fan & looking for a live album that's nothing but Van, go with IT'S TOO LATE TO STOP NOW. But if you're looking for a live album that's a collaborative effort with great guest artists & plenty of soloing by the band, this is the one. I was initially hesitant because I don't care for medleys or extended jams. I expected it to sound fragmented & disjointed, but the whole show flows naturally. Van does indeed prove himself to be a generous artist, allowing others plenty of time in the spotlight, & the show is all the more entertaining for it. The guest artists enhance the performance, rather than getting in the way. Brian Kennedy & Van's own daughter, Shana, are both amazing vocalists. Candy Dulfer is great on sax, as is Georgie Fame on organ. Van, himself, even seems to be enjoying the show, in contrast to his more straight-to-the-point approach on IT'S TOO LATE TO STOP NOW. The back of the CD pretty much sums it up; ballads, blues, soul, funk & jazz (and I would add gospel). If you like these varied styles of music and a performer who's great at every one of them, don't hesitate to get this one.
