Van Morrison Live at Royal Albert Hall performing Northern Muse (Solid Ground)

Venue: Royal Albert Hall Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: April 19, 2009

In April 2009, Van Morrison performed a riveting live show at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. By this point, he had just released the album "Keep It Simple" in 2008, which marked a continuation of his signature style—melding jazz, blues, and folk influences. This album received warm reviews, showcasing not just his enduring artistry but also his knack for storytelling through song. One interesting tidbit about this live recording is that Morrison, known for his sometimes reclusive nature, seemed to connect deeply with the audience, delivering heartfelt renditions of classics like "Northern Muse (Solid Ground)." It was a period where his reputation as a live performer was solidified, bringing an intimate and powerful energy to the stage that evening.
