Van Morrison

In November 1986, Van Morrison delivered a mesmerizing performance at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon in London, showcasing the height of his artistic prowess. Leading up to this live recording, he had just released the acclaimed album 'No Guru, No Method, No Teacher' in 1986, which marked a significant return to his introspective style. The album featured deeply personal tracks like 'Got to Go Back' and further solidified his reputation as a formidable songwriter. Interestingly, this concert took place at a time when Morrison was re-exploring his musical roots, blending jazz, Van's signature soul, and folk influences. Fans fondly remember this period for Morrison's profound emotional depth and his almost spiritual connection to the music, which really shines through in this performance.
