Van Morrison

By 2002, Van Morrison was riding high on a wave of creativity and critical acclaim, having just released the album 'What's Wrong with This Picture?' in 2003, a year after this live recording. This album showcased his signature blend of jazz, blues, and folk, a testament to his evolving sound. The performance at the Koninklijk Theater Carré on November 16, 2002, reflects Van's seasoned artistry and deep connection with the audience, evident in his vibrant renditions of classics mixed with newer material. What’s fascinating is how his style has always drawn from a well of influences—everything from Celtic folk to rhythm and blues. This live show captures not just the moment of a singular performance but the essence of an artist who defies generic boundaries. Experiencing Van Morrison live is like stepping into a poetry reading, a jam session, and a heartfelt conversation all at once.
