Tapers Notes:
This is a very different Van Morrison show, very jazzy, tranquil and serene. So, if you're looking for a rocking good time with searing guitar licks or a greatest hits show, you better pass on this one. This jazzy set list proved that Morrison could have just as easily been on stage at the Village Vanguard or Blue Note as the Shrine on this night.
This week will remembered by me for two notable musician deaths, David Bowie and Glen Frey. But Van Morrison, who turned 70 in August, is less than a few years senior to these two iconsbut may seem more the elder statesman because he came into the public eye with his band, Them, during the early part of the British Invasion, well before Frey and Bowie's appearance.He has had his fair share of hit songs that clicked commercially, but Morrison avoided those, only using “Moondance,” -- as bait to pull the packed audience to the deeper album tracks spanning half a century of his writing, recording and performing that served as the emotional and spiritual core of his show. For an artist who is notoriously prickly, who has often spent time on stage tongue-lashing band members when they didn’t deliver what he had in mind and berating the audience for the use of cell phones and recorders, Morrison was in an uncommonly jocular mood, making quips to the audience and to his fellow musicians.
Two or three interesting facts:
First, he was surrounded by several guitars and never picked any of them up, opting to sing and play his saxophone.
Second, he made a genuine tribute to Big Joe Turner in the track "In the Afternoon" which was an odd track to honor Turner. "If you feel my thigh, you'll want to get high"
Third, the sound in this show was very muddy, and I could barely make out any of the songs or lyrics. But the Schoeps microphones rejected much of the echoes and most of the crowd noise, although the enthusiastic crowd does come through at the end of most tracks. The show actually sounds better on the recording than it did in person.

The true thanks go not to me, but to the taping community behind whose footsteps I have followed, including those who have perfected the art of stealth recordings, the makers of the stealthy mikes, cords, adapters, and preamps, and those who have graciously shared their recording techniques. I am merely a mike stand with a credit card and driver's license. As always, I don't care what you do with these files, once you download them--they are yours now, except these files are not for sale, free trade only. You can thank me by uploading something of a similar genre or trading with me, so I can.
