I was working in Belfast. I was bored sitting in my hotel room wondering what to do and I had a brain wave, put Cyprus avenue in sat nav in van and see if it takes me there. To my surprise it was 5 mins down the road. I walked up and down the avenue of trees and the song needed no radio or player it played perfectly in my head. It was a perfect beautiful sunny day I'll never forget. Thanks Van the man for the best album ever made. ❤️

I saw him live in 1973 and 1974…..he zoned out on Cyprus Avenue and the band was amazingly tight…..he went into a Dylan Thomas trance, muttering poetry……it was something else…..and the song just went on and on……👏👏👏👏great journey down memory lane 👏👏👏🥂

I changed my mind about Van after seeing him live locally. He guested with Lonnie who was the warm up act. Thing is everyone was in the bar and couldn't be bothered going through to see Lonnie. This pretty much pissed Van off big time. So Van's set was defo cut short and there was zero audience interaction and no talking between songs. Very disconnected. He basically punished his fans who had paid hard earned to see him. The thing that finally did it was this interview; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7x4lbiBs8m4mYk.html

I’ve never seen Van Morrison as a young man singing. What a bad ass. I really get his performance “ power to the musicians with so much passion “. For me the only other singer I’ve ever seen perform like that is Tom Petty I love the song unique and definitely to the point. Very interesting and i intoxicating. ♥️✌️

Many fine words have been spoken and great things written about by Celtic cousin Van The man and they are all very correct, Van is a total music man and like no other, he feels his music deep down in to his soul, it is very real to him, never make make the mistake of asking Van what his songs mean, they are his prayers, Van is like a free-thinking man from the wild mountains of Connemara speaking his poetry, People will not understand at the first time of seeing or hearing but something will happen later as his songs will also sink down in to your soul and get locked in your memory forevermore.

Around 1976 that entire concert was broadcast live on the Old Grey Whistle Test and simulcast of FM radio in stereo. I think it may have been the first time that had been done. I recorded it from FM on to my Akai reel to reel recorder. I think I may still have the tape. I eventually bought the record which I still have. The man is a genius, a true performer, I learned so much from him. While my friends were listening to Black Sabbath I was listening to VM, so different, complex, subtle at times and music that lifts the soul, yes it’s SOUL MUSIC. He changed my musical tastes forever. Thank you VM.
