Van Morrison

By 1985, when Van Morrison performed 'Dweller on the Threshold' live at Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, he had just released his album 'Inarticulate Speech of the Heart' a couple of years prior in 1983. This album marked a shift in Morrison's expressive lyrical style, continuing his exploration of mysticism and personal introspection that defined his career. Interestingly, this era also saw Morrison embracing a more freeform and improvisational approach in his live performances, which would have definitely been on display in this show. Fans of his music often recall this period as one where he blending jazz and soul influences, making every performance feel wonderfully unpredictable. The live energy in 'Dweller on the Threshold' encapsulates that spirit perfectly!
