Van Morrison

Before the live recording of 'Send in the Clowns' on November 30, 1997, Van Morrison had just released his album 'The Healing Game' earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in his career, as it was well-received and showcased Morrison's unique synthesis of soul, jazz, and folk influences. Interestingly, the live performance in Belfast not only highlighted his rich vocal delivery but also his deep connection to his homeland, something that resonates in many of his works. Morrison's passion for blending genres and storytelling shines through, making this performance a remarkable snapshot of an artist who was, and still is, unwilling to be pigeonholed. It was a celebratory homecoming of sorts, reflecting both his musical evolution and his roots.
