In a cascade of instrumentation, a tide of tumbling bass and rising flute, surrounding a lone, undulating voice, Van Morrison ventures once more into the slipstream.　 "The 62-year old singer from Belfast delightedly repeats the phrase ‘to be born again’, as if he truly has been," says the Daily Telegraph in review of Morrison’s Astral Weeks Live DVD.

In a career now spanning some 40+ years, Van Morrison has proven himself to be one of popular music’s most creative and respected singer-composers.　 He has given music fans a sizeable body of brilliant work that has absorbed many influences from soul, jazz, and folk to country and Celtic music -- yet always stamped with the unquestionable Van Morrison sound.

Never before has Morrison set out to perform so many of the tunes that so clearly characterises his celebrated career.　 This time he will bring to Massey Hall a performance of his iconic 1968 masterpiece, Astral Weeks, performed in its entirety, followed by a set of what he refers to as his "classic songs".

This all began some 18 months ago with a now historic performance of Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl which was recorded for DVD.　 Since that time he has taken this show to major cities throughout Europe and North America to unanimous raves from both critics and audiences alike.　 Finally, this show will come to Toronto on Wednesday, September 30 at Massey Hall, the most intimate setting to date.
