I am 67yrs and I finally got to realize one of my top Bucket List of seeing him 2yrs ago. For 3hrs he performed nonstop. I thought my Heart would explode with Absolute and Unbelievable Musical JOY. VAN is Absolutely and Undeniably and Forever THE MAN in my Heart. This will go down as one of The Most Happiest Concert Moments of MY Life EVER. LOVE YOU VAN MORRISON 💯🥰😍🤩💞💕

His music is like magic and excites and sooths me. I cannot listen to him too often as I think that would be absurd. Thanks, Van, for all these years of music enjoyment.

An observation; Van is one of the masters. Here's how we know: he is so prolific and still on top of his game that he's cycled through multiple band members to the point that they're now half his age...and the music is as good as ever. Jackson Browne has done it too. It's amazing.

Back in the fall of 2020, Morrison announced three topical singles protesting COVID-19 restrictions plus a petition to end the temporary ban on live concerts. In one of these songs, “No More Lockdown,” he crooned about scientists “making up crooked facts,” labeling the perpetrators of these measures “fascist bullies.” In an unprecedented turn of events, the songs became cause for Northern Ireland’s health minister, Robin Swann, to pen an op-ed for Rolling Stone, calling Morrison’s new lyrics “dangerous” and a great comfort to “the tinfoil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines and think this is all a huge global plot to remove freedoms.”
