Van Morrison

In the electrifying live performance of 'Sitting on Top of the World' from November 30, 2001, Van Morrison captures the essence of his artistry. Just before this recording, Morrison released the album 'You Win Again' in 2003, which showcased his continued evolution as a musician. This particular period saw him embracing a blend of jazz and soul influences while reflecting on themes of love and introspection, all hallmarks of his iconic sound. Known for his energetic stage presence, Van Morrison’s live shows during this time were particularly notable for their improvisational style, allowing him to connect deeply with the audience. It’s interesting to note that before this performance, he had already built a rich catalog that included classics like 'Moondance' and 'Brown Eyed Girl,' making his live renditions all the more special. This 2001 performance is a prime example of his ability to breathe new life into his beloved tracks.
