In late 1978, just before the live recording of "Moonshine Whiskey" from the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Van Morrison had released his album "Wavelength." This album showcased Morrison's evolving sound, blending rock with a touch of jazz, perfectly encapsulating his artistry during this period. Interestingly, "Wavelength" includes the hit "Jewels," which resonated with fans for its lyrical depth and catchy groove. This live performance is noteworthy, as it represents Morrison at a time when he was starting to embrace a more polished production style while still retaining that raw, soulful edge that made his earlier work so enchanting. His charismatic presence and vocals in the live setting were a testament to his status as a genuine live performer, able to connect with audiences deeply. Fans would have felt that electric atmosphere, making this recording a treasured piece of his rich discography.
