Van Morrison Reviews

TERRIBLE GATE MANAGEMENT AND A SHORT SHOW

Caesar’s did an awful job of managing ticket-holder entry into the venue. We were there at 7:30pm and did not get thru the gates until 8:15pm, and Van started playing right at 8pm. Terrible event management. There were hundreds of people in the same boat. Van was great, but for the price of the ticket, he played 1 hour and 23 minutes. Some a*hole was in our seats, had to get them moved...so really saw about 55 minutes of the concert. I’ve seen Van a coupe of times. He is my favorite singer, but this performance and evening was sub-par at best.

MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN BUTCHERED HIS OWN SONGS!

I’m 45 and Van has been my favorite musician since I was in high school. I spent $800 and gave up parenting time w my son on a night I had him so that I could finally see Van Morrison in concert which has been a dream of mine for years. His energy was so low, zero connection w the audience, and then he absolutely butchered his own music on several songs be having completely rewritten the rhythm to make them jazzy in a very choppy manner, Including my all time favorite “into the mystic” which took me a full minute to even recognize as being that song. On a positive note, he was dressed dapper and did a nice job playing the sax and harmonica. However, his band stole the show at the end when Van left the stage and put on the best performance of the night.

MIXED

Was so excited to see him. Overall, he sounds great. Unfortunatrly, he played none of his hits in the one hit that he played, Moondance didn’t even sound like the song. The band appeared to wake up at the end of the evening which was a shame for they were excellent. Also sad that he never acknowledged his band but they had to repeatedly say his name.

CONCERT

He sounded good but had no dialogue with fans; just sang. He changed the tempi on some songs and changed the familiar sound the fans were looking for. His hype man (pianist) kept saying Van Morrison and I think Van was waiting for the roars from the audience to beg him to come out. Apparently the cheers were not loud enough and he did not return but left his band awkwardly playing. The crowd was let down as he failed to sing a couple very popular songs. Time to hang it up.....

MISSED THE OLD STUFF

Went to Santa Barbara Bowl Oct 3, 2021. Van Morrison still has the great voice and energy to captivate his followers. I went expecting to hear the classics I’ve cherished for 40 years- Into the Mystic, Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance etc. but instead, most of the evening featured songs that I was hearing for the first time. He did sing some of the classics but the arrangements were different. The last 10-15 minutes was dedicated to the good old stuff including Gloria, which brought everyone to their feet cheering and singing along. We left the bowl energized with the good old stuff but wishing there were more of the Van Morrison we grew up on.

DISAPPOINTED

Six of us flew to La from the Midwest to see Van Morrison. This has been a bucket list concert for years. His voice is still strong but the first few songs were boring and he didn’t sing Have I told you lately, Brown eyed girl and Moondance… we regretted making the effort and spending megabucks. . Come on Van, you may be sick of these songs but we love them!
