Van Morrison

In 1983, Van Morrison was in the midst of an exciting phase in his career, having just released the album "Inarticulate Speech of the Heart" earlier that year. This album features a more introspective style, blending elements of jazz and folk with Morrison's signature sound. The live recording from Birmingham Odeon on September 6, 1983, captures the essence of Morrison's artistry during a time when he was deeply exploring themes of communication and spirituality in his work. Interestingly, this concert showcases his improvisational prowess and ability to connect intimately with his audience, which is a hallmark of his live performances. It's fascinating to note that many consider this period to be a renaissance of sorts for him, as he continued to evolve and cement his legacy as one of the great voices in music.
