Van Morrison Live Performance of Grandpa Loves You Anyway and The Healing Has Begun at Glastonbury 1982

Venue: Worthy Farm Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 19, 1982

In June 1982, during Van Morrison's iconic live performance at Glastonbury, he was riding high from the success of his album 'Beautiful Vision,' which had been released just a year earlier in 1982. This album marked a significant point in his career, showcasing his blend of folk, rock, and soul, while also reflecting his deep, spiritual lyrics. Additionally, 'Beautiful Vision' includes tracks that align beautifully with the live energy and improvisational spirit evident in his Glastonbury set. Interestingly, this performance features Morrison's unique ability to connect with the audience, creating an almost magical atmosphere—something he’s always been known for. His charisma shone through, making this live show not just a concert but a powerful testament to his artistry.
