Van Morrison - 1992-12-16 - San Francisco, CA (Ex Aud)

I've seen Van Morrison 7 times, across 3 decades - the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s - and each time has been unique. Van changes up the set list from tour to tour, and you never know what mood he'll be in for a concert. For example, his September 1990 show at the Garden State Art's Center was a contemplative, introspective performance. In contrast, his April 1992 concert at the Paramount in New York was an upbeat religious celebration. Then again, his 1989 show at The Beacon Theatre was a bluesy affair, with a guest appearance by John Lee Hooker. With Van, you never quite know what you'll be seeing or hearing, which is part of the fun. As much as my wife and I love seeing Van, however, he's lived up to Rule #7 in my book: "The Set List - The Bad News - The Band Will Never Play Everything You Want To Hear." You see, he's yet to play Someone Like You, which is our wedding song, at any of the 7 concerts we've attened. Maybe next time.

In any event, this excellent audience recording captures Van in San Francisco on December 16, 1992, 33 years ago today.
