Van Morrison

In November 2014, Van Morrison took the stage at the Lyric Theatre in London, a vibrant showcase of his enduring artistry. Just before this performance, he released 'Dupree's Dial-a-Blues' in 2013, a reflective dive into blues traditions, capturing his deep connection to music's roots. By this point in his career, Morrison had already woven in and out of numerous genres, from rock to jazz to folk, consistently pushing his creative boundaries. This live recording highlights his improvisational genius, with 'Allan Watts Blues' serving as an intriguing homage to the philosopher who inspired many of his lyrics. What's fascinating about this period is the blend of nostalgia and innovation present in his performances, as Morrison continues to connect with audiences both young and old, proving that his music is as timeless as the lyrics he crafts.
