One of his best songs by Van and I am surprised Harri doesn't know this one. Thank you Neal and Harri.

I'm 70, this song came out when I was 14. Man, between the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Allman Brothers,etc.etc. All these musicians in this small window of time.

Van's best!

The title track to one of the greatest albums from 1970, which was a beautiful blending of jazz, r&b, blues and Irish folk. The entire album is superb from start to finish. "And It Stoned Me", "Caravan", "Into the Mystic" and "Brand New Day" should be explored too. Wonderful reaction.

musical genus.

I was 6 years old when this song came out and I have never forgotten it

Pricey bottle of wine, dim candlelight, Moondance…almost a sure thing!

Van is actually a saxophonist so it's no surprise that that he had a love for Jazz & composed a song that crossed both it and Rock into a timeless classic. Hard to believe that its over 50 years old.

For me it's between this and Into the Mystic. I love VM!

My favorite song since 1970. It started me liking jazz. Still adore the stand up bass.

This is definitely my favourite Van Morrison song, just one of my favourite songs in general, got some fond memories entwined with the melody, that may be why. Surprised you didn't know it, but what a bonus for us that you didn't. Great reaction Harri, thank you so much. ✌❤

One of his signature songs, and deservedly so. One of the classiest songs ever played on Classic Rock radio.

In an interview, Van said that he originally wrote "Moondance" as an instrumental. It would still be my favorite song without words. That bass line is so recognizable!

I think this is my favorite VM song. Great choice and commentary. Thanks Harri and Neal 🌺✌️

Awe-inspring song from Van the Man. The entire album is classic. Special mention has been made about the bass playing by John Klingberg, who was only in the band for a couple of years. Sadly due to illness and the ravages of substance abuse he passed in 1985 at 39. And he was not strictly speaking a jazz player. He came up playing trumpet and bass with r&b cover bands in New York City before somehow connecting with Van Morrison when this was recorded in A&R Studios in NY. Thanks Neal and Harri.

My son and his wife danced to this at their wedding! SO gorgeous!!

The soul of Van's voice is off the charts.

One my favorite skngs!

One of my Proudest moment as a Teen was when I learned to played the Walking jazzy Bass. I love this song

A favorite for years.......and who can forget this playing in American Werewolf in London?

When this came out, Van moved to the top of my list and has stayed there for over 50 years.

Back in my drinking days the first thing I did went I entered a bar was to put this on the jukebox

This is my favorite song by Van for sure and I thought Harri had listened to them all. Great pick Neal.

The album with this song was released in 1970. But it wasn’t released as a single until 1977

One of my favorites...that album is still one of my very favorites of all time. I still listen to it from track 1 to the end as I have for over 50 years.

This song will forever remind me of Frazier, one of the greatest sitcoms in TV history.. and the episode when the Niles character finally gets to dance with Daphne Moon, his ongoing but untouchable crush. I think the episode was called "Moondance". Sheer brilliance, both the song and the TV episode.

An absolutely beautiful song from Van from his 1970 album, " Moondance". A wonderful album saturated in folk, jazz, country and soul, this being one of his most successful jazz compositions. The funky piano by Jeff Labes, the sax and flute accents, Van on the accoustic guitar delivering a wonderful romantic vibe in the lyrics and melody. An absolute treasure. Great reaction Harri, glad you discovered another Van masterpiece. Great choice Neal. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hi Mr. Harri, This is a great song; the Album 'Moondance' is also great.. ♠Mr.G..

Brilliant soulful music and vocals by Van the Man!

"moondance" is a great song. van morrison began with a british r&b band named "them" who released some great 60s classics as "baby, please don't go," "here comes the night" and "gloria." my favorite van morrison solo album is "his band and the street choir" (1970). van's wonderful use of horns really shine in such great songs "domino" and "blue money." thanks for the video and great music choice.

Great song and album! I love Tupelo Honey as well. The walking bass in this is almost playing counterpoint to the melody. The guitar vamp is very jazz like. Very much a swing type feel.

I would rather not get myself frustrated thinking of how rare it is to hear a song like "Moondance" by Van Morrison. Even when I first heard it was at the theater, not on the radio. It was in the movie "An American Werewolf In London" (1981). 43 years ago, harri.

This whole album was a favorite of my group of friends and played so often when we would get together. One dear friend would get up during this song and do his dance interpretation of this song. He passed way too young about 20 years ago. Miss you,Joe. RIP.

Definitely like but still have a soft spot for his Sweet Thing!

My favorite Van Morrison song! Also one of my favorite bass lines. It just fits so, incredibly well.

My favorite.

The whole album is incredible

Van the man..!!! He can sing anything... What an artist, untill Them, he is one of the bloody irish I prefer. Irish is my dreamed country, I'm french but those men... Specially the girls😂...Are my beloved brothers and sisters, of blood.

It Stoned Me is my fave Van song and this whole album is aces.

Moondance is one of my favorites. There are so many more Domino , come running, blue money and caravan

I have so many favorite songs but this is still way up on the list. Thanks

this song was so so so amazing...and he was married to the iconic "Janet Planet" at the time...they were the '60's IT COUPLE...

One of the best albums from that era, imo…this entire LP blew everyone away. All of the instruments seem to be doing a dance- flute, piano, sax, bass, etc. I don’t think Van ever sounded better! Many thanks, Neal, for another wonderful request, and Harri for your reaction.

This IS my favorite song period.

This song and Brown Eyed Girl are probably Van's biggest hits. He's so good and he's the whole package - singer/songwriter/musician. He really is a poet and a romantic.

❤

Love Van Morrison, he was also with a band called Them, please listen to Gloria it’s fantastic! My favorite song of his is Tupelo Honey.

this man is your favorite artists favorite artist

Neal - You picked one of Van Morrison's great ones, "Moondance". Very well done Harri and Neal. Bravo!

When you get Van the Man you get like a slice of everything! He adds elements of jazz, soul, blues, irish, gospel, pop in his music. I've heard this song long before i actually began listening to him!

There was a multi part Martin Scorsese documentary called the blues. an episode seven total red white and blues, it featured UK singers influence by American blues. One of the singers was Van Morrison and I was surprised at how he sounded Anyone who is a fan of the blues or rock ‘n’ roll should watch this documentary. It’s a total of eight episodes.

Fantastic song and one of my Mom's favs!

So many memories to this. Ty Harri and besties. Slainte ☘️🇺🇲

if you've seen the movie "An American Werewolf in London" then you've heard this song before.

OMGosh that bass with the piano, one of my favorite songs by Van! ❤🌙💃🏼

The legend! 😎

Astral Weeks

Into the mystic is another good van Morrison song

After this beautiful song I always want to hear Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens (Yusuf), for a place to rest my heart.

Great pick Neal. My youngest daughter and I had Van's 'Days Like This' as a father daughter dance at her wedding. Loved Van going back to Gloria and Them.Thanks Harri .

Just one of the best out there.

hi mate, not seen your show for a while! have you been upsetting the Devs @yt? hehe. another great reaction mate! keep up the great work please :) big love to all people :)

My fave of Van's ♥

I cant believe that u Harri never heard this before..one of his best!!❤❤❤❤

Early 70s, like around 1972, I think.

From what I've learned of Van Morrison, "Moondance" is an aberration. I really thought this jazz fusion genre was a natural musical creative part of Van Morrison. It's the same experience I had with the song "Love Changes (live)" by Mother's Finest. That's why I had to be cautious when buying albums back then, harri.

This song is considered soft rock/jazz rock It was released in 1969

When was the video made? Those are not cars from 1970.

Check out this live version of his best-selling "Domino", with Elvin Bishop on lead and session great Reni Slias backing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrCclJiarLWXj6M.html

Too many stop's lost the song it's finished

So sad where Van Morrison is now. He’s become a conspiracy theorist.

Harri Who the F--ck is Van Morridan?

My Favorite song by Van! Was on the SOUNDTRACK of the CLASSIC HORROR MOVIE AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. One of the BEST HORROR/ Comedy Movies EVER MADE!!
