Not even with a fee ticket would I go see him. Totally overrated artist, made one or two decent albums back in the day, his output for the past twenty years or so has generally been pretty dire. I just don’t get it, sorry.
Totally agree plus he’s the grumpiest man in music – who could be a fan of this guy??
Disagree on the music side of things… Astral Weeks, Moondance, Tupelo Honey, veedon fleece & st. Dominics all fanastic albums. Saw him for the first time last year and yeah he is prob the grumpiest artist I’ve ever seen…
Actually even I must admit the album ‘too late to stop now’ is a good live album, one of the better ones.
Never knew Van had a generous side. Can be quite a grumpy fellow at times.
The only way you’d get me to go and see this useless wigga is at gunpoint.
Probably then only way he can get a crowd nowadays is to give it away for free
You all took time to read the article, take your hate elsewhere.
I’m pretty sure Van Morrison playing live is considered an act of terrorism.
I was so looking forward to seeing him at Feile 91 and then…. he was terrible. I was so disappointed I don’t think I ever listened to any of his albums again.
Real genius, fabulous music and has written great songs and albums since the 60s. He is good live but usually the smaller venues seem to suit him better. I don’t own all his albums yet but I will. Saw him twenty years ago in the National Stadium and that night still sticks in my mind as a great one.
