Astral Weeks – live in LA

Astral Weeks, Van Morrison’s masterpiece, is Music for Grown-Ups’ favourite rock album. So it’s a delight to be able to pass on the news that Morrison will be playing Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 7 and 8 November.

On both nights, the second half of the Hollywood gig will be a cover-to-cover re-creation of the magnificent LP, with a band including original recording session players Jay Berliner and Richard Davis. Hardcore Morrison fans will also be cheered by the reappearance on a VanMan stage of revered horn player Ritchie Buckley.

The gigs will be recorded for a new album, Astral Weeks Live At The Hollywood Bowl, to be released on the singer’s new label, Listen To The Lion Records, in January 2000.

Mamma!
