Van Morrison: Live at Montreux 1980/1974 (DVD)
There are two full concerts included in this great Van Morrison collection. The 1980 concert covers both his greatest hits along with some of his experimental songs. The 1974 concert consists of "lost" songs he never released on albums until much later on in his career. For such an iconic artist that doesn't have much available on dvd this would be a wonderful addition for any Van Morrison fan!

Must Have Van Morrison Concert
Not only is this a 1980 concert of Van Morrison, it also includes a 1974 concert!
These are in between Vans most transendic musical years. People that know his music know what I am talking about. Fans of Van’s live concerts (I’ve seen him 4 times) wait for those moments when he disappears into the song, the music, the voice, and of course - the words.
He reaches these moments several times in both these concerts. Ballerina 7 minutes long, Listen to the Lion, 7 minutes, Spirit (NEVER LET SPIRIT DIE!) 9 minutes, Summertime in England, 10 minutes. Look at the play list!
The sound quality is excellent, I prefer DTS but they are also 5.1.
It is mixed right.
You can play it loud or soft.
The band gets to do a lot of solos, but this is a Van Morrison tour de force for that time period. This was not thrown together. These were inside concerts, well lit, well filmed, and obviously well miked. I am so glad someone found this, who do I thank at Eagle Vision? I can’t believe the price either!
