Van Morrison Live Performance at Dominion Theatre, featuring Baby Please Don't Go and Gloria

Venue: Dominion Theatre Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: June 18, 1984

In June 1984, Van Morrison graced the Dominion Theatre in London for a live performance that showcased the depth of his artistry at a pivotal time in his career. Just prior to this concert, he released the album 'Common One' in 1980, which included rich, spiritual themes and demonstrated his continued evolution as a songwriter. By 1984, Morrison was still riding high on the acclaim for 'Inarticulate Speech of the Heart,' released just a year earlier in 1983, and he was beginning to gain renewed recognition in the music scene. An interesting tidbit about this live recording is that it captures Morrison's unique blend of soul, jazz, and folk, enriched with his signature improvisation, making this performance not just a concert, but a vibrant exploration of his artistic identity.
