Are You Fed Up With Van Morrison ? Is There Any Hope ?

Are you astounded that over the past 10 years or so Van has come out with The Greatest Hits Volumes 1-12 and producing albums completely devoid of inspiration ? Did you write him off completely ? Is there any hope and the end of the tunnel that we might see him as he used to

be ?

The blog vanmorrisonnews, suggests that all is not lost; it seems like he's having abit of a rennaisance of his old self in his recent concerts.

'The Cypress Avenue flowed beautifully. It is still a work in progress, and this version ended a bit abruptly. But it was great to hear the song again live for the first time this century.

On the other hand, the Ballerina tonight reached to the stars. Sublime.

And the Healing was Begun was an absolutely joyful, ecstatic romp, Van roaming and roaming and roaming across the fields. "By George, you've got it," Van told the band.

It feels like a brand new day has dawned in this artist's astounding career.'
