- Van Morrison was the surprise top-of-the-bill at the Fife Aid Festival outside St Andrews in June 1988. He didn't want to bring his whole band so asked the negotiator, one Robbie the Pict, if he could arrange for suitable local musicians to join him. Robbie approached me as I'd done this sort of thing before. Needless to say, it wasn't difficult finding the right guys! I had Mark Forshaw (then with Hue & Cry) on drums, Neil and Graham Weir (then with OMD) on brass, Nick Robertson (Fat Sam's Band) on alto, and Liz MacEwan (ex-Tam White & the Dexters) on backing vocals. Van brought 3 of his band with him - they were Neil Drinkwater on keyboards, Clive Culbertson on bass, and June Boyce on backing vocals. We rehearsed with Neil D all day Saturday then again with Van on the Sunday, and by the Sunday evening we had an hour's set together. Everything went perfectly - the sun even came out just as we started, it having rained all day - and we finished to an incredible sunset. Enjoy it as much as we did!
PS Please check out my own songs and the tracks I did with Tam White or Penny Lang - you never know, you might like it!
How much better can it get? Van at his best. What a song! What a performance!
Gotta’ love a performer who professes his profound love for our Heavenly Father and Creator! ❤️🙏😇☦️

This is Van at his poetic, mystical , melodic, experimental best. This song has always had a celestial quality to me. The background singers sound like a heavenly choir. It truly takes one to heaven and back.

Awesome video. Thank you for posting. My wife and I just saw Van at the Hollywood Bowl with Tom Jones. He may not be around much longer and it was an amazing concert.
Tim Smith Sir Van is going nowhere.☘️
He’s still here ,seen him this week
Van looks so sad during this time frame. Fantastic songs and performances but he really looked sad to me. I love him and his music so much.
He was just deeper Into the music 😉
I was there
Oh ... and I was given the services of Rab Randall as guitar tech - he'd just finished a world tour as Ry Cooder's tech!
Make it one more time.
@unbeatable1966 Thank you!
I only watched to see the gorgeous June Boyce(on the left in white) singing back vocals.If I could understand a word Van Morrison was saying I'd be exaggerating.What a load of crap !!! Thank god June sang with the Moody Blues a couple of years later.She moves like an angel on Moody Blues at the Red Rocks,sheer class
Vans words are very clear in this song and performance.
If you've never been to Newtonards and Comber, Ballystockart Road or Gransha, then you haven't lived..
You're not supposed to understand a sense of wonder, you're supposed to feel it ...
@@nickdomenicos5987 🥰👍 Thank you!
🥰 To be honest, not many here understand much of what you sad either.😒🤔
It seems you're on the wrong Channel. Yet, here you go.... 🥀
