Dude,

He rocked out a version of Whinin' Boy Moan. No hits, my ass...Get your facts straight.

Love,

RL

having seen him live a handful of times, this is a great setlist. the way van plays 'the hits' its a much better show when he stays away from what other people want to hear....he tends to go out of his way to make 'the hits' sound unrecognizably bad, just so he keeps those who really want to hear brown eyed girl at every show away. although the set list does drop a moondance and a tupelo honey. "Stranded" and "They sold me out" are late period van morrison gems. Classic van complaining about celebrity and how difficult it is being van morrison.

thanks for the VM post. for more live footage, check out the itunes podcast 'Bunkervision' and look out for the newly remastered back catalogue with bonus unreleased material.
