NO MOONDANCE !!
Just walked off, during GLORIA and extended solo break...
Kinda Weird
That said, he was amazing with "tight" although strangely assembled band.
The set up is so close nobody can see them, and he doesn't introduce them.
Ideally, a smaller venue is needed.
Video screens at HardRock obsolete.

JUST OKAY....
Saw Van in Virginia last night. I've always loved his music, and that's still dynamite! We were in 20th row, and could see nothing due to poor stage set up. Everything/Everybody bunched in a ball in the middle of the huge stage when they could have been spread out so we could see these people. I searched today to try to find out who his 2018 tour band members are, and there is no recognition of them that I can find. Disappointing because the only one I could really see, was the female on percussions who was amazing. ALL of them were amazing, but who are they? All of them hidden in a tight group behind big speakers which blocked the view while totally unnecessary. 2/3 of the stage was empty! Morrison never acknowledged his band, nor the audience. No encore. He just split before the last song which his incognito band completed. It was weird. The music was fantastic, but make sure you have extreme front center seats or you won't be able to see much. Super poor set-up design

VAN MORRISON @FOX IN2023
He’s voice is still strong
He stood the entire concert and played the sax and harmonica well.

DISAPPOINTING SOUND
Band was great, Vocals should have been more prominent in the mix, overall volume should have been louder (and I never say that) thought it was a muted. The Pavilion needs to get some K-2s and Mr. Morrison should look for a new FOH engineer. Also the camera director had trouble figuring out who was playing the solos, which also should have been featured more prominently. Was really looking forward to the show, left unfulfilled.
Sorry Van.

LIVE SHOW BITES
Average rating. Music a 5, presentation 0. I"d been told he doesn't care what his audience thinks or wants to hear, but down from AK I came for the Tues. night show. His daughter opened and was wonderful. She even gave accolades to the bass player, which was more than Van did. Yup, no chit chat, he just pumped out one song after another without any time to savor each one in between. He didn't even introduce the band. I felt sorry for the band members, but they must be paid well. Put down the guitar and hurry up to pick up another for the next song. Put down the trumpet and hurry over to the keyboard for the next tune. Let's see how fast we can get this over with, is what I thought. Maybe jet lag from being in Europe? No encore, Tues. He was actually booed at the end. The venue has great acoustics, and the staff were all pleasant. I had a mid balcony seat and had plenty of room. I would never pay to see a show of his, again, even if the songs were great.

HELLO VAN, REMEMBER US, THE AUDIENCE?
A highly anticipated concert we paid $$$ to see. Love his music, his style, his decades-long dedication to artistry, but still disappointed by Wednesday's show. I'd heard Van can be less than engaging in live performance. That turned out to be the case. A string of jazzy tunes and subdued versions of too few hits didn't reach the audience. He clearly wanted to deliver a clubby, comfortable set, but Van Morrison's appeal comes from his rousing soulful hits. Sorry, Van, you gotta give the folks what they came for.

DISAPPOINTING
Looked forward to hearing some hit tunes but sadly only 2 and have I told you lately was not original! Came a long way with expectations that sadly didn’t measure up. No encore.
No engagement from Van for his audience.
