VAN MORRISON
Dublin 1973 [no label, 1CD]
Talk about Pop, RTE Television Studios, Dublin, Ireland; November 2, 1973 (broadcast November 9, 1973). Very good TV broadcast.
Thanks to the uploader.
Notes:
Here’s something very interesting by Van Morrison. As far as I know, it’s the one and only time he’s given a solo acoustic performance, and it happened when he was young and in his musical prime. It was done for a short-lived Irish TV show called “Talk about Pop,” in late 1973.
The good news is that a very good sounding bootleg recording of this performance exists. There was no audience, so that helps the sound quality. The song list is also interesting. He played some songs that didn’t get released at the time, like “Drumshanbo Hustle” and the cover “The Wild Side of Life.” Plus, he did some very rare songs, like “I Shall Sing,” which he always did with a big band including horns.
The bad news is that there was considerable dialogue between Morrison and a TV host between songs, and there doesn’t seem to be any audio of that. However, there’s a transcript of most of it.
The other bummer is the last two songs - “Snow in San Anselmo” and “Beside You” - didn’t make it to the bootleg either. They were the last two songs played, and perhaps the performance ran too long for the length of the TV show. By that still leaves 45 minutes of Morrison’s only “unplugged” performance.

Who starts these rumors?
By Jocko P on Apr 8, 2023
Van was definitely the man back in the seventies when I was fucking him often . He had a giant Coc if memory serves me . Also he had such stamina . The man could literally fuck for hours and never get tired . The only negative thing was afterwards I was so sore inside from taking hard thrusts from his monster coc that it was hard to walk for a month . I was so sore afterwards that I needed several weeks to recover. These suck and fuck events always occurred backstage of course

I’m sure this dude is big as they say . Short guys will fool you . Most of the short guys I’ve screwed have had big diks . It’s natures way of overcompensate for being so short .

Hey Jocko P, rumors recently circulating that it is your very own self who keeps starting these rumors. We all know you are an attention seeking numbnut - so stopping asking stooopid questions!
By HHH on Apr 8, 2023
THANK YOU, BIG O! THis is better than I could possibly have hoped for-50 years on, this is still powerful and I am playing it over and over again. He should remaster it and give it a proper release, but he probably won’t . Again, THANK YOU.
