I had the pleasure of seeing Van Morrison live in Boston last month at a small venue....Amazing experience. Two highlights for me: he sang “Into The Mystic” & a duet of “Rough God Goes Riding” with his daughter. He’s a musical genius....IMO he stands alone among the artists from the 60s with, perhaps, only Dylan measuring up.

I had the pleasure of attending a double billing, Van Morrison/Dylan, in Boston about 10/15 years ago. The high point of the night was the sound of a single note played on a harmonica by Van Morrison. It had the positioning and placement and tone and volume and duration and color and sound and vision that made the price of admission worthwhile. I can't explain it. "It stoned me to my soul......"

I have seen Dylan many times live. Him live is nothing like his albums though. I saw the Rolling Thunder Tour four times.
