Thanks for letting this play all the way through. I love the way that guitar is playing in and around Van’s vocals and then as the song ramps up so does the guitar. He is a treasure. Thanks La & Che. 🔥
I'm Irish living in Holland and I need Van Morrison to bring me home but it's really great to see other people enjoying the music your reactions really kick ass😅🎉❤❤
I was gifted this album on cassette by my brother in the early seventies after flying home from working in the Artic. This is probably my favorite Van the Man song of all time. The album cover art somehow seems to match the song perfectly too. Definitely one of my fav albums ever. There should be a lot more reactions to this. Thanks.
Perfection. Van Morrison is an international treasure. No one like him. So happy he's still around at 78 just as good as ever. His songs are so moving and his lyrics so meaningful. He uses such care with every part of his music.
Jaw dropped that you’re reacting to this.. absolutely prime Van!!! Always loved dropping These Dreams of You’s first line - “I heard you paid your dues in Canada” during the outro..
Van's live album "IT's TOO LATE TO STOP NOW" would be an excellent album for y'all to listen to a song by song. It's got deep cuts and several great show-stopping versions of some of his hits. Van the Man is at his best.
I bought this album in the 70’s in a bargain bin for about $2. They used to put a hole through the corner of the album cover with a hole punch or chop a little corner off the discount/discontinued or underselling albums. And they are usually crap. This one was an exception. Unexpected gem. I have since tried to get it on CD but the prices are insane!
I stumbled upon this and to watch. I bought this album when it came out and played this song so much. Had it on my 8track in my jeep, too. It's been years since I've heard it and you're taking me back. Thanks for reacting to the one.
I’m not damning with faint praise, but it seems like Van has a formula, and it works every time. I know he has range, and a variety of styles, but again, Van has put out a truckload of music, and there’s an unmistakable Van sound that is deceptively simple when you deconstruct it, but if it were really that simple, everyone would be doing it. The result is a seemingly endless supply of very high-quality, listenable Van Morrison songs to enjoy. Thanks for bringing this one to my ears.
Brothers please react to Van's "TB Sheets." It's a very soulful song about a young man who can't deal with his girlfriend dying from tuberculosis and feels that he needs to flee the room. Based on his real life experience, the song grabs you and won't let go. Thanks guys always
enjoyed the shit out of that oldy but a goody but yes vans heart is blues so thats what u got from it. pick anything from him basically u will see why hes the best ever.
This one of my favorite Van Morrison albums though critics considered it a weak album. I love it & it is personally tied to events in my life both good & bad. There is no bad Van the Man album.
This album was Van Morrison's Seventh studio album and was released in 1973. It's the first album since his debut album "Blowin' Your Mind" to contain songs that were not written by Morrison. The album reached 27th position of the Billboard 200 chart in the United States, making it his fifth album to reach the Top 40 charts. The album features an infusion of several styles of music such as folk rock, R&B, blue-eyed soul and jazz. (On a personal note, this was one of my mother's favorite albums, even though, it wasn't one of his most commercially successful albums "FYI) Here's another song from this same album, if interested. "Van Morrison - The Great Deception" (by the channel: Van Morrison) Thanks guys enjoyed rocking with you.
Hell yes!!! Y’all are too cool ,I appreciate the van Morrison dive ,thank you.this is what I’m talking about…his catalog is vast❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️😎meat and potatoes now ..(my man said he doesn’t miss!!)👍🏽
Astral Weeks his greatest album, took maybe a week to record and just asked the other musicians kinda follow him and make it up as they went along . It was his first solo album after leaving his band Them.
No stronger case against the prescribed imagery of music videos than Astral Weeks. Each track created a movie in my brain, starring that magical cast of characters.
Wow, very few react to this epic. This album has a handful of remarkable diamonds, "Bein Green", "Warm Love" and "Autumn Song" are essential to these ears, but that groove that establishes at the start of "Purple Heather" is above and beyond the call. "Saint Dominic's Preview" (the album before this) is as good, possibly even stronger. Check out "I Will Be There". "Jackie Wilson Said..." and the title track if you can. I consider these two records a pinnicle of rock recordings.
This is a really strong period that often gets overlooked. Veedon Fleece and St. Dominic's Preview are fabulous.
Fair play to you!
Van has the best musicians for what he wants
Thanks for letting this play all the way through. I love the way that guitar is playing in and around Van’s vocals and then as the song ramps up so does the guitar. He is a treasure. Thanks La & Che. 🔥
"Autumn Song" off this album is incredible - just beautiful.
The Irish Soul of Van never gets old. He had a sound and style of his own.
He still has. Performing 2024.
**has
He makes music to this day still and releases it on RUclips.
I'm Irish living in Holland and I need Van Morrison to bring me home but it's really great to see other people enjoying the music your reactions really kick ass😅🎉❤❤
The sound of a man that is truly at home in his musical world. So nostalgic and lovely.
Never thought id see someone react to this gem,nice!!....cleaning windows is another great feel good tune, you guys for sure enjoy.
Shivers up and down the spine
Gotta say, no other reactors are better than La and Che at digging out old musical gems and putting them in the spotlight.

Brighter than the blues - perfectly put
Perfection. Van Morrison is an international treasure. No one like him. So happy he's still around at 78 just as good as ever. His songs are so moving and his lyrics so meaningful. He uses such care with every part of his music.
I always have to bring up those who are still around because we lost so many great ones and it broke our hearts.

Van's live album "IT's TOO LATE TO STOP NOW" would be an excellent album for y'all to listen to a song by song. It's got deep cuts
and several great show-stopping versions of some of his hits. Van the Man is at his best.
@clifton8929 Completely agree, a fantastic album
I declare to my soul. One of the best live albums ever
Totally agree. Possibly the best live album ever released. Absolute banger.
That double live album is sublime!! For many many years, Too Late To Stop Now was my favorite album.
Almost impossible to pigeon hole Van’s sound - diverse and honest are two words that spring to mind - guys a genius without a doubt

Another song off that album is The Great Deception
"Don`t it make you wanna not
bother at all"
Van the Man

He had PeeWee Ellis from James Brown for years as his sax player Tupelo live, that sax solo will stir your soul from the late GREAT PEEWEE ELLIS

Deep cut from Van the Man--nice one gents

Excellent choice fellas 👏
enjoyed the shit out of that oldy but a goody but yes vans heart is blues so thats what u got from it. pick anything from him basically u will see why hes the best ever.
My favorite Van Morrison album, and very under-rated. Being Green is anoither great track off the album (also sung by Kermit The Frog!!).
It`s not easy
that`s for sure
Ahhh anytime is a Mr Morrison time!!!cheers
Man this song was awesome! Cant go wrong with this irishman.
This one of my favorite Van Morrison albums though critics considered it a weak album. I love it & it is personally tied to events in my life both good & bad. There is no bad Van the Man album.
I'd suggest going back and starting with "Astral Weeks"
Oh enjoy your reactions by the way.
Thanks again, Guys. Great pick/reaction.
👌
Check his performance from the movie The Last Waltz by The Band. You're welcome.

Some fine Irish preaching here

This was my hubby's favourite Van album, he had special fondness for this one, love your reactions
You are right I have freedom fleece st Dominic preview. Veedon

Great review. You guys knock what you're talking about!
I swear you could replace his vocals with a saxophone, and it would sound exactly the same.
More Elton John please! Did you get those for christmas?
Not as appreciated as some of his other albums from this period which is a shame as it's a really strong set.
What a great start to the week ! thanks for that one guys
This is good but he has tons of better stuff, hope you get to it, happy listening.
