Two Essays On Van's 1989 NYC Show
On Van's November 1989 Beacon Theater concert in New York there are two essays written by Robert Burke Warren and his wife Holly about that show:
"We'd seen a show that we couldn't encapsulate into a quick and easy definition. It wasn't a rock concert, it wasn't jazz, it wasn't blues, it wasn't revival. But it was all those things. It was a Van Morrison show. And we've seen nothing like it since." writes Robert Burke Warren.
Holly George Warren then writes: "In the Garden was transcenant: he didn't so much sing the song as inhabit it - using powerful dynamics, going from a whisper to belting the chorus. That revival-stle fervor was back... and as he departed again, Geoergie Fame expressed all our feelings, shouting 'No Guru, No method, No Teacher - just Van the Man - God bless Van Morrison!!!"
