Van Morrison

In the summer of 1971, Van Morrison was riding an incredible wave of creativity. Just prior to this live performance at The Lion's Share in San Anselmo, he released the critically acclaimed album 'Moondance' in 1970, which began to solidify his reputation as a soulful singer-songwriter. The live recording of 'Just Like a Woman' captures the spontaneity and heartfelt emotion that Morrison was known for, showcasing his unique blend of rock, blues, and folk influences. Interestingly, this period marked a transition for him from the rough edges of his earlier work to a smoother, more polished sound, while still retaining that raw, captivating energy in his live shows.
