Van Morrison - Leicester DeMontfort Hall Early '90s. Mumbled his was through a few songs, took half an hour break mid way, then as an encore he murdered Brown Eyed Girl, then buggered off
The Who, NEC about 1988. Big cavernous venue, bunch of old guys playing boring music (yeah- I've got live at Leeds- it wasn't like that), expensive beer.
Van Morrison; Bridgewater Hall, Manchester 2004. What a curmudgeonly auld grumpy-bollox that festering pile of misery is. On stage at 7.30 exactly and off at 9 with no encores and if anyone DARED shout out their appreciation of him between songs, the look he gave suggested their shout of 'We love you Van' he'd heard as 'you filthy sex-fiend'.
Ryan Adams solo set, not long after he quit Whiskeytown - highlight of the show was when someone shouted out "is there enough room up your arse for the rest of us?" - that pissed him off!
