Van Morrison

In March 1993, when Van Morrison took the stage at the Hammersmith Odeon, he was riding high on the success of his album 'Hymns to the Silence,' which had been released just the previous year. This album shows a mature artist deeply rooted in blues, jazz, and folk traditions, blending his soulful voice with rich instrumentation. During this live recording, Morrison's passionate performance really shines, offering fans a taste of his live energy, particularly on tracks like 'I'm Not Feeling It Anymore'. It's fascinating to note that this era in his career saw him embracing a more introspective style, with an emphasis on lyrical depth and spiritual themes. The Hammersmith show is often regarded as one of his memorable live performances, embodying the essence of his dynamic range and artistry. So, if you're curious about raw, heartfelt music, this concert captures Van in a moment of artistic grace.
