Van Morrison - 1980-01-25 - San Francisco, CA (FM)

In January 1980, Van Morrison arrived in San Francisco to play 5 shows. Van hadn’t been on the road since October 1979, and wouldn’t launch a full tour until June 1980. The 5 shows featured music from his previous 2 albums, Wavelength and into The Music, but also served to test out tunes from his forthcoming disc, Common One. For example, this FM broadcast of Van’s show from The Warfield in San Francisco on January 25, 1980, 3 dozen years ago today, includes two songs from Common One, Spirit and Haunts of Ancient Peace, to end the show. Download this one to hear a preview of an album which would be one of the most experimental of his long storied career.
