When I was younger I just took this music for granted because it was all around me at the time. We are at a place now where nothing like this is coming out and its been like that for a long time.
Denise, I'm 70 and remember wandering suburban streets, summer late night, with Jimmy & Tom - singing G-L-O-R-I-A at top of our lungs. In the car with my girlfriend singing Domino with Van on top-forty radio. He's been part of my life for a long time!
I had my daughter while in prison and stayed awake the 48 hours after delivery and b4 leaving her holding her and singing this song. She is now finishing law school. God takes the worst junk of our lives and makes the most incredible art. She is my Mona Lisa.
It's a pity that these beautiful tunes are ruined by people talking about themselves. Shame on you, find another outlet for your personal anecdotes, thanks.
Rest In Peace Pee Wee. And may perpetual light shine upon thee. Remember the first time I heard them on the radio. I was fifteen and walking to the beach w/my tiny transistor radio. Their talent brought such joy I never forgot.
As I type this, I'm shocked....I hadn't known he'd died (last year).... he'll be with the "Dweller On The Threshold" now and playing his gorgeous 90 seconds solo from "Haunts Of Ancient Peace".......over and over and over again.
One of the Best Rock/ Jazz voices in history and not a bad musician/ lyricist. One of those dudes that got better with age, like fine wine…great lines….Van the Man Morrison…like honey to a Bee.
Van does the right thing when the solo starts and just gets off stage. Everybody gets to focus on the sax solo. Love it when artists don't have an ego and allow others to shine too.
I very much prefer his 90 second solo on the track "Haunts Of Ancient Peace" or "Dweller On The Threshold"....however, Pee Wee was a great saxophonist whether baritone, tenor, alto or soprano and even flute ....never mind piano !
Absolutely. I'd give a lot to hear a Van concert with that sax player. Imagine being able to attend a small venue on weekends, with Van and the boys. AAAAAH, so good.
This was the father - daughter dance at my daughter's wedding. I've loved this song since I heard it so long ago. I just sent my daughter some actual Tupelo honey just for the memory. I saw Van at the Hollywood Bowl a couple years ago - he was amazing. Shared the stage with his long time friend Tom Jones. Amazing.
I've come back to this song countless times since it was uploaded. Van the Man has heaps of soul singing this. But of course it's the solo by Pee Wee Ellis that keeps me coming back for this tune.
I listened in a record store in London to Astral Weeks in a booth. Big old headphones on. I was eighteen. There was just me and Van's music. I was hooked....for life.
Van was only 24 years old when he recorded Astral Weeks , hard to believe that masterpiece was delivered to us by such a young man. When he walked into the recording studio on the first day and met some of the best session men around at the time , they asked Van ' what do you want us to play '? Van replied ' just play ' ... And by God they did just that. One of the best records of all time.
I first heard Astral Weeks playing from a speaker outside a record store on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. A misty, rainy night early in 1969, and a crowd had gathered. Unforgettable.
The band I was with, opened for Morrison, for 10 shows, in 1980. Every time Ellis played, it was a textbook on how to play a solo. There was a beginning, a middle and an ending. A story.
@@jamestracey5958 No, Morrison is a very private person and doesn't make time for chit-chat. He treated us well though. The first show we played the standard 20 min. opening act set, after that he said, through Bill Graham, "Play as long as you want." We did 45 min. sets for the rest of the tour. The last night at the Fox Warfield, in San Fran., the sound man taped our set, through the board and gave us the tape. No, I don't have the tape. Rickie Lee Jones' road mgr. was our road mgr. She took care of everything. We just had to show up and play.
Van's not only a great singer, songwriter and live performer but a master of the long form improvisational vamp as well ... a total art form all itself
Outstanding saxophone solo. Tone and arrangement, just superb quality by a super musician.👌 I love the solo soooooooo much I play it over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again. It is so sweet to listen to.
From the very beginning, Van Morrison had a calling for Jazz, and this recording shows it. Pee Wee Ellis' fantastic Jazz solo, works hand in glove with Van's Voice...
This version celebrates the power and unity of music. How beautiful. I’ve been in such a dark, dark place: a suicide attempt. Ending my life. Period. I obviously “failed” and know that if anything, I love music and music is life. Inspiring. Love. Expression. Sincerity. Passion. Love to all of you!!

This takes me back to being with my girlfriend on a farm lane that resembled the album cover for this song. We'll be celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary this August and our 50th first-date anniversary next St. Patrick's Day, Lord willing. I;m hoping we can celebrate it by see Van in concert, like we did on our 40th.
How can it be that I’m just finding this version of one of my favorites by Van Morrison? Thank God, I’m finding it today! What an awesome tenor sax solo! Thank you, Mr. Ellis. May you rest in peace…
Rare is the moment when we see such a humble personage go so deep within to bring us out the very essence of his soul, allow us to enter this mystical journey and give us the instrumentation in such disciplined perfection. Amen to soul man Van the Man Morrison. Amen brother. Your music will be catching us on the street corner back where we once belonged.
Que bela apresentação! Que dupla espetacular! Que satisfação ouvir e ver tão maravilhoso show! Sinto uma certa nostalgia, em lembrar, que Pee Wee, já não está entre nós. Sua presença musical deixou uma marca profunda e significativa, nos amantes da boa música. Parabéns a todos que participaram desta banda maravilhosa!❤👏🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Always wonderful the performance of Pee Wee playing. A sweet and dear memory he left in music, especially as Van Morrison's companion on this long journey. There is no better way to remember and revere him than to hear him play.👏🏻👏🏻🎷🎷🙏🏼👏🏻
If this doesnt make your soul wanna shine you need cpr and bought back to life! The sax solo hits ya funky in the feels! Amazing awesome talent. 🎼🎵🎶🙃🔥🙌🐝🍯🎩🎷🎺🎸❤️♨️✌️
My wife went to the club on the Sunset Strip Van was there, The Doors, and Cream, she dated Eric 3 times and got to go to recording studio. 18 year old Tom Petty was there, Eric and Ginger Baker long live Van, very nice
I saw my 10 day old Thai grand daughter for the first time today. Small and under weight because she was born early. Most Thais have nicknames and Oa and Tom named her Aideen, Irish for little fire. I thought of this song on my short visit, little Aideen is an angel of the first degree.
I’ve ALWAYS loved Van Morrison, have many Records, tapes & cds of his. Love you Van & your sax man is dynamite!! I married a jazz saxophonist when I was 18, I’ll be 70 in July. Awww sweet memories stay well & keep singing 🤍🤍🤍🤍
He had to use the bathroom, producer needed to talk to him, needed a drink as his throat was bothering him, etc etc. It’s always wise not to read into something you don’t know why. ✌️
I wouldn't call it indifference. He was a hard worker, and had a huge cultural bagage. He just looks indifferent, because he doesn't want to fall prey to fame by pretending to be a pretty boy. He realises that that would spoil his music and turn it into all of the other commercial bullshit. He's super intelligent and was smart enough to know that his attitude helped him to keep his music pure. I read multiple books on him but none of explain exactly how his pure genious lead to the creation of some of his most brilliant work like Pagan Streams, Queen Of The Slipstream, Have I Told You Lately.
@@Chrisjavier2604it’s a just a way to improvise and make it more personal. I love it. It kind of bothered me at first but him reiterating grew on me and I love this live performance.
Saw this incredible artist in concert many years ago in Boston, Mass. And it was a incredible concert and he'll always be VAN THE MAN to me even in 2022.
@@markmccreary9605 I also saw Van but he was at the Wang Center. I also saw him at the Orpheum Theater with Jerry Lewis's Sister before that tour quickly broke up because from what I read one was going to kill the other one.
Peewee is outstanding. I saw him with Van, and on his own in a jazz club in London. Just sublime.......Vans phrasing. It blows me away every time. Always different yet always right .....with me 😍
I've been listing to Van since the late 60s. He has a he'll of voice and he always have great musicians backing.him up HE is on my bucket list to see I always listen to him when I want ✌️ and quietness . ✌️ and God be with you!!!!
Van may be a difficult and complicated person occasionally , but he compensates for that by being a musical genius of the highest order . Love the grumpy bastard to bits for many many years . Thanks old man , may you roll on for a long time yet .
Wow! This is my first time listening to Pee Wee Ellis, he is sure a great musician and I can see why James Brown and Van Morrison were so impressed with him. RIP Mr Ellis
When I had covid, the only thing that relieved the headache was music, BUT it had to be Van, John Prine, Dylan...I learned that brain chemistry is everything and music the magic

The only one!

Van Fan since 1970's. Love this.
Pee Wee passed on, just the other day. A true artist. Thanks for the music, Pee Wee.
I didn't know that. Thanks - a sad loss.
The man sure could play.

Makes me break out in a Cold Sweat!
Skillz! Feelz!
One of the Best Rock/ Jazz voices in history and not a bad musician/ lyricist. One of those dudes that got better with age, like fine wine…great lines….Van the Man Morrison…like honey to a Bee.
Van does the right thing when the solo starts and just gets off stage. Everybody gets to focus on the sax solo. Love it when artists don't have an ego and allow others to shine too.
Lol...ok.
dude was looking for another line lol
This has to be sarcastic, right? Van is pretty well known to have one of the biggest egos ever in music and be totally insufferable to be around.
@@HarryManback0 van the man bb
Me too😅
Van Morrison is a musical genius.
Van Morrison is a pop artist. To his credit, Andy Warhol was too.
Untouchable.
That solo is pretty much what defines tenor sax for me. Fierce, loud love. Pee wee nailed it.
Absolutely
yeah!! woo woo
Loud Love? Nice, thats a song title if I ever heard one!
Has to be one the best sax solos of all time right? Amazing!
YES! amazing, beautiful, soulful.
nah man, he did it like this every night for years. Dude was unreal.
I very much prefer his 90 second solo on the track "Haunts Of Ancient Peace" or "Dweller On The Threshold"....however, Pee Wee was a great saxophonist whether baritone, tenor, alto or soprano and even flute ....never mind piano !
Van is the best sax player too!
Not even close but it's good for a rock song.
Only the chemistry of live musicians playing together can produce moments of pure magic.
Well said. V true

Bible says be not forgetful to entertain strangers for some have entertained Angels unaware........
Oh my goodness. That sax solo. Incredible. A story, start to finish.
Absolutely. I'd give a lot to hear a Van concert with that sax player. Imagine being able to attend a small venue on weekends, with Van and the boys. AAAAAH, so good.
If I were Van Morrison, I wouldn't go to the grocery store without Pee Wee Ellis.
Hahahaha YAAS 💝
Certainly can appear pretty lonely without him!
Van's backing bands have always been solid!

Never ever ever get tired. Goosebumps after 50 plus years!
Many people think "she" is a female that van's in love with. I think "she " is freedom, liberty, that Van is exalting.
One of the best tenor sax solo of all times
Boy, the sax player was pouring his soul into that. Glimpses of pure magic.

Love you Van. All my life you're music has kept me going on.
Before Pee Wee joined Van, he helped James Brown invent Funk, co-writing several of Brown's major hits.
The honor to Pee Wee that Van leaves the stage.
Correctly. Pee Wee is an even greater music legend than Van in the bigger picture.
He had to use the bathroom, producer needed to talk to him, needed a drink as his throat was bothering him, etc etc. It’s always wise not to read into something you don’t know why. ✌️
This is a great concert. Very, very high standard of singing and playing.
Rest easy master Pee Wee Ellis☀️💛🙏🏾
I loved this music when I was a teen and it still warms my soul...The whole 💖 world needs more of this spirit...
A great Singer and Musician Van Morrison is and has incredible musicians!
Hearing Van makes me not want to die
What a decision, to speak the lyrics and then sing them in the second verse. It shouldn't work but it's so good.
Called lining it out. A technique used in southern churches where there were no hymnals
Thank you and aloha.
Morrison is such a strange combination of incredible talent and indifference.
I wouldn't call it indifference. He was a hard worker, and had a huge cultural bagage. He just looks indifferent, because he doesn't want to fall prey to fame by pretending to be a pretty boy. He realises that that would spoil his music and turn it into all of the other commercial bullshit. He's super intelligent and was smart enough to know that his attitude helped him to keep his music pure.
