Van Morrison tour dates 2024

Recent tour reviews

• Van Morrison

  Van is one of the greatest recording artists from the classic rock days of the 60's and 70's. In his early days, he did concerts that were heartfelt, immersive and romantic. However, in more recent years the charm seems to have worn off. He comes on no later than five minutes after the scheduled start time, rarely says a word to the audience, plays what he wants to play not necessarily what the audience has come to hear and is finished his set in less than ninety minutes. Performing seems like a chore to him.

  He should rethink his approach to live performances or go back to the studio and stay there for the rest of his career. Sorry Van, but you've lost your touch.

• This was a great show. A real crowd-pleaser. Given that he's been releasing an album a week for the last couple years (so it seems) and I'm not a completist, I was concerned how much I would recognise. In fact, this was not a problem at all. He played a substantial number of the "hits" and the rest of it was equally enjoyable due to the quality of the musicianship on display. He was generous in letting the band take their moments in the spotlight and all in all this was a great event, made even better by having the chance to see him (for the first time in my case) in the relatively intimate surroundings of the Brighton Dome. Top night out.

• Having never seen Van Morrison before and been a fan for years I enjoyed the show and the opportunity to see him. I was a little disappointed some of his hits; Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance, Jackie Wilson Said just to name a few weren't sung as originally recorded but with a jazz component. Fans want to be able to sing along with the hits and relive the time in their lives when the song was a hit. Very talented group of musicians! And no "Into the Mystic"!
