Van Morrison and Solomon Burke Perform 'Fast Train' Live in Montreux

Venue: Miles Davis Hall Location: Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland Date: July 9, 1994

In July 1994, when Van Morrison performed 'Fast Train' live at the Montreux Jazz Festival alongside Solomon Burke, he was just a couple of years past releasing his album 'A Period of Transition' in 1977. By this time, Morrison was entrenched in his career, showcasing a blend of rock, jazz, and soul that had evolved considerably since his days with Them. Interestingly, this performance captured a moment of artistic collaboration, with Burke bringing his gospel-infused energy to the stage, complementing Morrison's signature style. Morrison's ability to captivate an audience was well-established, and this live recording is a testament to his dynamic presence. His music often reflects deep emotional resonance and a touch of mysticism, making his performances unforgettable experiences.
