Anyone who's been to a Van Morrison concert over the past couple decades expecting to see the Celtic legend work through many of his classic hits has most likely walked away disappointed and quite possibly on the verge of violent behavior. Over the weekend, Morrison made good for years of self indulgent performances of 30s standards, country ditties and wandering jazz excursions with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl that contained
Astral Weeks in its entirety (though not in order).
The set list:
Wavelength, Saint Dominic’s Preview, Caravan, Heavy Connection, Here Comes the Night, And the Healing Has Begun, Summertime in England, Brown-Eyed Girl, Gloria/Who Do You Love
Astral Weeks, Beside You, Slim Slow Slider, Sweet Thing, The Way Young Lovers Do, Cyprus Avenue, Ballerina, Madame George
Encore: Listen to the Lion
