This past weekend Van Morrison took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl for a special three-night stand at the historic venue. The legendary singer-songwriter used two of those nights to revisit arguably his most revered album Astral Weeks. Morrison first delivered a short set of career spanning material, before performing the eight track album in a slightly reworked order – with some members from the original recording sessions joining him.

Both nights were captured on film for a upcoming DVD release of the festivities. While we wait for the release to hits stores, let’s take a look at Van the Man performing the title track from the legendary album from a show this past summer in Castellon, Spain. Unfortunately the videos a bit obscured by an obnoxiously huge VM watermark courtesy of the singers official website, but it still sounds damn good…
