Van Morrison

In 1981, when Van Morrison took the stage at De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam, he was riding high on the success of his album "Common One" released the previous year. This period was notable for Morrison as he blended his signature blend of jazz, blues, and soul, infusing his live performances with a palpable energy. Interestingly, the live set features "It's All in the Game," a track that embodies his often philosophical lyrical style. This concert was part of a vibrant era in his career, where he began to embrace a more personal and introspective sound, marked by a departure from the mainstream. Moreover, the intimate setting of such a performance further highlights Morrison's ability to connect with audiences through his profound storytelling and melodic craftsmanship.
