Here’s a lovely version of “In the Garden” off No Guru, No Method, No Teacher recorded at Van Morrison’s 70th birthday (8/31/2015) concert on Cypress Avenue in Belfast, near Hyndeford street, near Sir George Ivan Morrison’s childhood home.
It’s amazing to me that there’s any musician out there who can still make great music on their 70th birthday. The band sparkles, they’re a study in the sort of perfected backing minimalism which makes old songs new while still allowing their star (in this case, Van) to shine. Enjoy!
