Van Morrison

In June 1998, during Van Morrison's live performance at the Sheffield Arena, he was riding a wave of creative resurgence following the release of his acclaimed album 'The Healing Game' in 1997. This period was pivotal for Morrison, as he blended jazz, blues, and Celtic influences, showcasing his growth as an artist. 'The Healing Game' included tracks that reflected his introspective nature and deep connection to spirituality, which is a hallmark of Morrison's work. Interestingly, this concert is part of a tour that highlights not just his legendary hits but also his more recent explorations into sound. Fans attending the Sheffield Arena show would experience a master storyteller and musician at a pivotal moment, marking the era just before he released the stirring 'Back on Top' just a year later.
