02 – Spirit – Van Morrison
From Van’s Historic Performance captured to film – Live @ The Montreux Jazz Festival July 10th 1980.
“Van Morrison Live at Montreux 1980 offers an intimate, yet very public glimpse into the soul of the artist.
The stereo separation enhances the ambiance to an extent that you almost feel as if you were there.
All in all, Van Morrison Live at Montreux 1980 is an outstanding show.
Much like the man himself, these shows defy classification,,,,,,,,,
but leave you utterly satisfied by virtue of the music’s quiet intensity!”
