Van Morrison

In 1992, right before the live recording at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, Van Morrison had just released his album "Beautiful Vision." This collection, which came out in 1982, is known for its spiritual undertones and showcases Van's blend of soul, jazz, and folk influences, a style that he's been celebrated for throughout his career.

What's fascinating about the live performance is how it reflects his connection to the audience; he's known for infusing his live shows with raw energy and spontaneity, making each concert unique. Plus, this era in Morrison's career is significant as it was a time when he deftly wielded the balance between commercial success and artistic integrity.
