I really love Van Morrisons music but this show was disappointing at the Las Vegas Bakkt theater in September 2023. . For the first hour he played unknown bluegrass type songs that were ok at best. The last 1/2 hour he play more familiar tunes but very few of his hits. A good portion of the time he had his back to the audience. He had no audience interaction. The band was good but not suited for a stage this large. Also the sound mixer was bad.

VAN MORRISON VEGAS
His voice is excellent. His band was actually his selection of songs that he sang sucked. No hits from the past. Just played what he wanted. Not what got him there. Go back home and retire please

NO BROWN EYED GIRL?
The show was really just okay. He found the time to sing Gloria, but no Brown Eyed Girl, which was all that my wife really wanted to hear him sing. It was a Sunday night, maybe he got tired or ran out of time (the show went from 8 PM to 9:30 PM), but there's really no excuse for denying his fans a live performance of that song

CHICAGO THEATRE LAST NIGHT
Waited my whole life to see Van Morrison. His band was fantastic. Had heard that he was indifferent to his audience, but last night he seemed engaged and into his music. Unfortunately his voice is 73 years old and it shows. Had I not known the lyrics to all of his music it would have been unintelligible. Tickets were expensive and quite frankly I was disappointed.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT AT GREEK THEATER
O.K., I get that musicians maybe get tired of playing old songs, but really? Only old familiar songs were Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria...and those were his encore songs.
First part was lots of swing/scat, which after three songs, all sounded the same. He did do jazzy, upbeat rendition of Moondance and Have I told you lately That I love you. This concert was more that 50% of listening to extremely long, drawn out instrumental solos by his band. After encore, his band was still playing, leading audience to believe he would return again. 18 minutes later--nope, lights went on and everyone looked at each other, saying WTF, that's it?? Have never, ever heard so much negativity from unhappy disappointed people at a concert ever.
Save your money. He phoned it in....do him the same favor.

OCT 2021 HOLLYWOOD BOWL
Low volume, no interaction with the audience, short performance, no goodby, no brown eyed girl, left us all wondering what he has against his audience.

I LEFT SAD & DISAPPOINTED
It felt like I’ve waited all my life for this concert, I was so excited to be there and to finally have a dream come true. However, as the night progressed I realized it wasn’t going to be the concert I had dreamt of. He played some type of jazz music and hardly any hit songs and the hit songs he did play were unrecognizable versions. It wasn’t until the encore did we hear a few songs that sounded familiar. I was so sad and disappointed. When he played my favorite song, “Have I told you lately that I love you”, I didn’t even recognize it. It was as if I paid a lot of money to go to a concert by someone I had never heard of. Van didn’t seem to care if you came to his concert to hear his popular songs, he was playing for himself.
Santa Barbara Bowl is a great venue though and the night was beautiful!
