I’m leaving this comment here. Each and every time someone likes it, I’m gonna listen to this masterpiece.

My love for Van Morrison's music is beyond the stars. I love how he sort of freestyles and there's nothing conventional about his music. He takes his songs wherever his heart takes him. What a brilliant artist. 🙌🏿🙌🏿

This isn‘t just a show, it‘s some kind of transcendental experience.

When I first heard this song driving cross country a few years ago.I played this song on repeat driving thru Kansas on my way to Colorado. I felt like I discovered gold what an EPIC song!

one of the greatest live performances of any song. Absolute legend.

This is the best thing on the internet. Period.

In this particular show, Pee-Wee Ellis really laid down the greatest sax-work I've ever heard. It is absolute gold.

The musicians and Van are all actually listening to each other, not just playing rehearsed parts. No small thing. I think that's what makes this such a special performance.

Who gives thumbs down? People with no souls.

I discovered his music a year ago and it's changed my life. He humbles every other artist in my opinion. His vocals, lyrics and instrumentation come straight from the heart and the soul. I don't know how I've missed him my whole life.

One of the first things I did when I got a record player was buy about 18 van morrison records. The man's created more masterpieces than most artists can dream about

Did you ever hear about Wordsworth and Coleridge!? This song encapsulates the mysticism of England through the romantics and love of divine nature.

Listening to his live performances is a transcendental musical experience. I'm thankful I have ears when I hear this.

I love Van any age any weight any religious persuasion. I have been following him so many years, I feel literally that he is a good friend of mine who I treasure.

A musical genius for over five decades.......

Van is "the" man! He is truly a gift of God.

Transcendental experience is the best description... I wish I were there

Don't know why, but it's always magic when I hear this. This music is better healing than every vakzine!

Oh my this performance was in Montreux, Switzerland! Imagine! His music & the Alps! Lord have Mercy!!

Mesmerizing. It ain't why why why why why why it just is.

I could listen to this 75 million times. What an inspiration. GO VAN!

My favourite Van Morrison concert.

Shame we don't have a chance to see talent like this live these days

This man is a musical demi- God to me, my soul& mood changes when I listen to his music! He takes me to another place indeed! A place I don't mind visiting!

There I was listening to this amazing song as our tour bus drove through Kendal en route to Grasmere. Wordsworth, one of my favourite poets, was in my consciousness aided and abetted by Van’s musical and poetic genius. So great, so great…it just is.

Van just transports everyone who hears his song even decades later, through his own deep connection with God, Hes the usher , the barer of something divine that can be felt!

Van always takes his listeners with him on their individual journey into a magic world. Few performers can do that.

Best live performance I’ve ever seen without exception.

A beautiful version of a beautiful song.. saw him live a few times the last being in a hall in Croydon and we had front wooden seats, kissed him on the cheek at the end and told him what a legend he was. ❤❤❤

Every song of Van is my favorite. His songs are so deep and beautiful 💋

My very favorite song from Van. The greatest musician of the 20th century. I will always love you Van !!

Rest in peace Pee Wee Ellis - never want this sax solo to end. 'Oh my common one'.

this is the essence of Van , ,the Man! Long two, or even three changes in the studio, the best use of strings ever. Creative enough and yet open enough to identify with Astral Weeks. One of the best, greatest songs ever. Man, when you make love to this...….you're there!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I keep coming back to this concert so many good ones on here!!!

One of his great songs that is often over looked. It's even better live! ;-)

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!111 From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan, in the middle of the Corona virus. GOD--Van is so,so,BLOODY AMAZING & that great band,especially a young John Plantana on lead guitar. Magic performance from a GOD of music ( Van )

terrific. the total communication between the whole band is just amazing

Saw him do this at Glastonbury in umm '87 . Moving was NOT the word. I was "Transported" !!! The whole show was brilliant, but this song Excelled ... words can't do that performance justice. Mercifully there was an excellent bootleg. I tell myself that I can hear my cheers ... maybe I can ;^)

Rest In Peace My Fair Queen

I remember the first time I heard this song a very long time ago it just blew my mind and all these years later it still does what a truly great artist....

He just played an outdoor concert in his home city here in Belfast 👍

Für mich das beste Konzert von Van Morrison. Absolut magisch!

I started being a Fan of Van Morrison in 1966 in Oakland, Ca...what a great Day of music at the Oakland Auditorium...Thanks to THEM.....✌️👍🙏

I think it's the best live version of this song that I've seen ...

Summertime in England ist eins der besten Lieder ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Am with you van morrison xXx God bless you forever and ever xXx

Magnifique , Magique , je suis fana de van il me transporte bref un fan transportable lol

David Hayes on bass. What a drive!

This is just lovely.

this man goes far beyond life as we know it ... can you feel it ... it just it ...

Van Morrison huge and various career contain many chapters and the period between the 70 & 80s have so incredible music and my favoured and in particular Summer in England .

Van Morrison beautiful voice beautiful man🌿

This was a fantastic concert. Van is one of the great romantic poets and it's so appropriate that he calls up Wordsworth and Coleridge in this song. What a great performance with one of his many great bands.

Van The Man knows how to work his band and what he needs them to do and when

Of course I always knew Brown Eyed Girl but when I was 20 years old I found this DVD and a library in Petal Mississippi I've been hooked ever since wavelength is my favorite especially this version

Shorter than the album version but just as good!

It ain’t why, why, why.. it just is.

He is talented his sound so unique and brings one to wonder, great music you play Van love it!!

Summertime in England... Absolutely amazing....music

Still my favorite song from what is still my favorite Van Morrison Ablum.

Auguro al dio un giorno prima di morire di assistere concerto questo artista fenomeno. Van Morrison. Che mi fa piacere.

🗣 *”Church!”* 🎵🎵🇮🇪

Jesus Christ……..goosebumps every damn time

Amazing voice !!

At 6:20 the transcendent experience begins. Best rendition of my favorite Van song! So much rhythm and soul in this performance...I love how Van uses instrumental pauzes in his songs...

Van is the man. I’ve been to Cyprus Avenue and Hynford Strett.

Doesn't get any better

Montreux is beautiful. Been there twice. In winter and summer. LOVE ❤️ the castle. Byron etc. The Prisoner… statue of Freddy M looking onto the Lake. Stayed in the hotel where Nabokov spent his last days. Never been there at the festival. VERY expensive place for me. And they speak French ffs which is great. Some lovely photos from then. Maybe 2004/5 and again 2008.

Lyrics Can you meet me in the country In the summertime in England Will you meet me? Will you meet me in the country In the summertime in England Will you meet me? We'll go riding up to Kendal in the country In the summertime in England. Did you ever hear about Did you ever hear about Did you ever hear about Wordsworth and Coleridge, baby? Did you ever hear about Wordsworth and Coleridge? They were smokin' up in Kendal By the lakeside Can you meet me in the country in the long grass In the summertime in England Will you meet me With your red robe dangling all around your body With your red robe dangling all around your body Will you meet me Did you ever hear about . . . William Blake T. S. Eliot In the summer In the countryside They were smokin' Summertime in England Won't you meet me down Bristol Meet me along by Bristol We'll go ridin' down Down by Avalon Down by Avalon Down by Avalon In the countryside in England With your red robe danglin' all around your body free Let your red robe go. Goin' ridin' down by Avalon Would you meet me in the country In the summertime in England Would you meet me? In the Church of St. John . . . Down by Avalon . . . . Holy Magnet Give you attraction Yea, I was attracted to you. Your coat was old, ragged and worn And you wore it down through the ages Ah, the sufferin' did show in your eyes as we spoke And the gospel music The voice of Mahalia Jackson came through the ether Oh my common one with the coat so old And the light in the head Said, daddy, don't stroke me Call me the common one. I said, oh, common one, my illuminated one. Oh my high in the art of sufferin' one. Take a walk with me Take a walk with me down by Avalon Oh, my common one with the coat so old And the light in her head. And the sufferin' so fine Take a walk with me down by Avalon And I will show you It ain't why, why, why It just is. Would you meet me in the country Can you meet me in the long grass In the country in the summertime Can you meet me in the long grass Wait a minute With your red robe . . . Danglin' all around your body. Yeats and Lady Gregory corresponded . . . And James Joyce wrote streams of consciousness books . . . T.S. Eliot chose England . . . T.S. Eliot joined the ministry . . . Did you ever hear about . . . Wordsworth and Coleridge? Smokin' up in Kendal They were smokin' by the lakeside . . . Let your red robe go . . . Let your red robe dangle in the countryside in England We'll go ridin' down by Avalon In the country In the summertime With you by my side Let your red robe go . . . You'll be happy dancin' . . . Let your red robe go . . . Won't you meet me down by Avalon In the summertime in England In the Church of St. John . . . Did you ever hear about Jesus walkin' Jesus walkin' down by Avalon? Can you feel the light in England? Can you feel the light in England? Oh, my common one with the light in her head And the coat so old And the sufferin' so fine Take a walk with me Oh, my common one, Oh, my illuminated one Down by Avalon . . . Oh, my common one . . . Oh, my storytime one Oh, my treasury in the sunset Take a walk with me And I will show you It ain't why . . . It just is . . . Oh, my common one With the light in the head And the coat so old Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one . . . Oh, my common one Take a walk with me Down by Avalon And I will show you It ain't why . . . It just is. Oh, my common one with the light in her head And the coat so fine And the sufferin' so high . . . All right now. Oh, my common one . . . It ain't why . . . It just is . . . That's all That's all there is about it. It just is. Can you feel the light? I want to go to church and say. In your soul . . . Ain't it high? Oh, my common one Oh, my storytime one Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one Put your head on my shoulder . . . And you listen to the silence. Can you feel the silence?

Simply sublime

Prime time , for both the music in general and for Van ! What a band !

Wonderful. Spiritual. Cinematic. Transcending. “Can you feel the silence?”

MY FAVORITE SING OF THE GREAT VAN THE MAN

My favourite God bless you van we are family ❤ xXx

Terrific performance!

This sermon really deepens around 6:30. All of it great, and then… wow…

Love it

fantastic, the ether must have blown their minds.

No words...

It ain't why. It just is.

Here have Van referring to great poets of times past Thomas Stearns Eliot, William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge Wild W.B.Yeats, James Joyce and other great people, That other very great Celtic rocking singer Phil Lynnot did similar things, both Van & Phil, fully in tune of the Mystic

Love it xXx love it xXx

This is the BEST!

RIP Pee Wee - long may you rest in haunts of ancient peace.
