Van Morrison

In March 1982, just before this live performance at the Dominion Theatre, Van Morrison had released the album 'Common One' in 1980 and was gearing up for the release of 'Beautiful Vision' later that year. This period marked an interesting juncture in his career, as he was transitioning into a phase where his blend of jazz, blues, and folk was becoming more pronounced, particularly in live settings. Morrison's powerful, soulful voice was at its peak, and this concert showcases a selection of his classics, like "Into The Mystic" and "Moondance," which capture his emotive storytelling. Interestingly, during this time, Morrison’s live performances were often characterized by a spontaneous and unpredictable nature, making each concert a unique experience for fans. This performance in London exemplifies that spirit, reminding us of the magic of live music.
