says No. The audience gets even more pissed. The band breaks into "Moondance" (he never said he wouldn't play it). He sings the first verse, then lets Georgie Fame sing the second verse. Then he leaves, band jams for another 15 minutes. He comes back, rubbing his nose (whadja find in the dressing room there, VM?). He sings "Have I Told You Lately that I love You". He leaves. The whole audience, after about 10 minutes, starts singing the beginning to Jackie Wilson Said. Van comes back like 10 minutes after that, looks at Georgie Fame like "Oh PLEASE", and sings the most half -hearted bored rolling-his-eyes like-this-song-is- so-stupid version of Jackie Wilson Said. The concert ended with Georgie Fame and the Flames doing Gimme Some Lovin "or some shyte". I can't remember. By that time, I was mentally burning all of my Van Morrison albums. He sang 7 songs in total. The show was like 2 1/2 hours. Author's note: This story is probably FAR MORE ENTERTAINING than the actual concert, due to the long stretches between anything happening AT ALL in the concert. The events detailed within have tremendous literary value yet zero performance value when one has paid $80 a pop and waited on line for 3 hours to get in. |
