Van Morrison at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, California, April 26, 1970.
Now, the sad thing is that at one point in my life I was one of those "indie rockers" who wouldn't given Van a chance because of the annoying sorority girls who would lose their minds singing
Brown Eyed Girl whenever they got drunk at the college bars they frequent (and what the hell was I doing there in the first place?).
I've gotten over that shit. And it's embarrassing to think that I was such a parochial and myopic jackass. But what can you do?
Anyway, this is an amazing bootleg; over the past few months I have listened to it incessantly (for some reason usually on Saturday mornings). And everytime I listen to this recording I am awed by Van's intensity, how completely he is
in the moment of each song.
