Van Morrison

In 1983, Van Morrison was riding a wave of creativity with his album 'Inarticulate Speech of the Heart,' released just a few months earlier. This album, noted for its deep poetic lyrics and rich musical textures, reflects Morrison's ongoing exploration of spirituality and self-expression. The live performance in Nottingham on September 8, 1983, captures him at a pivotal moment, where he beautifully melds his earlier rhythm and blues influences with a more introspective sound. Interestingly, that same year, he was also deeply involved in studio work, experimenting with various genres, which adds to the captivating atmosphere of this live recording. Fans at the Royal Centre could feel the synergy of his music and personal evolution, making this a memorable highlight in his already illustrious career.
