Van Morrison - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, Jazz and Blues Festival, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Britain, 8-6-1995

Here's another volume of Van Morrison performing for the BBC. This time, it's a 1995 concert.

This concert is unusual in that he was backed by an orchestra, specifically the BBC Big Band. It occurred before the release of his album "How Long Has This Been Going On" near the end of the year. However, this was close to when that album was recorded, and many of the songs on her would also later appear on that album. There was an unusual amount of covers on that album, and there's quite a few covers here too, despite it being a relatively short concert (or, more likely, edit of a concert). Also, that album was credited to "Van Morrison with Georgie Fame and Friends." Georgie Fame is here as well, on keyboards and backing vocals.

This album is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.

This album is 50 minutes long.

  1. Dont know if it is edited - Van could play some pretty short sets those days (good but short - contractual minimum)
