Van Morrison

In October 1979, Van Morrison delivered a mesmerizing performance of 'Tupelo Honey' at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. This live recording came after the release of his album 'Hearts in the Stable' and right between his iconic works like 'Moondance' and 'St. Dominic's Preview.' During this era, Morrison's blend of jazz, blues, and folk was crystallizing into the deeply personal and evocative style he’s known for today. Interestingly, 'Tupelo Honey' originally appeared on his 1971 album of the same name, showcasing how his earlier work continued to resonate in live settings years later. Morrison's ability to capture the essence of a moment, paired with the vibrant energy of his live audience, makes this performance a compelling watch for fans and newcomers alike.
