Van Morrison

In April 1993, Van Morrison was riding high from the success of his album 'Hymns to the Silence,' released a year earlier. This album showcased Morrison's deep affinity for jazz, blues, and Celtic influences, and its songs reflected a matured artist. During this live recording at the Wang Theatre in Boston, he performed a blend of classic hits and tracks that resonated with his evolving artistry. Interestingly, 'Why Must I Always Explain?' performed during the show highlights Morrison's candid lyrical approach, a signature trait of his songwriting. At this juncture, he was also noted for his engaging live performances, often creating an intimate atmosphere that connected him deeply with the audience. It’s fascinating how Van Morrison, even after decades in the business, continues to explore and push the boundaries of his musical style while keeping that raw, emotional connection alive.
