Van Morrison

In November 1967, Van Morrison was riding the wave of success after releasing his groundbreaking album 'Astral Weeks' just weeks prior. This live recording of "Brown Eyed Girl" in Boston captures the raw energy and evolving artistry of Morrison during a pivotal time in his career. 'Astral Weeks' would later earn a legendary status, showcasing his blend of jazz, folk, and soul—styles that defined his unique sound. Interestingly, though "Brown Eyed Girl" wasn't on that album, it had already become a classic by then, illustrating Morrison's knack for creating timeless hits. The 1968 Catacombs tapes represent a magical moment when Morrison was beginning to solidify his reputation while seamlessly connecting with audiences through heartfelt performances.
