I think that's the most Van Morrison has ever moved in his entire life.
Way, way back in the hippie days (yeah I'm a little older than many of you), I remember hearing this very stoned late-night DJ on the Pacifica station in Berkeley rapping about how Van Morrison was the greatest performer he'd ever seen. The reason? Because he'd once seen Them perform, and Van --"I swear"-- jumped from the stage up on to the top of an amplifier--
without even bending his knees.I could never decide what was funniest: (1) the image of Van Morrison doing this, (2) the idea that this guy actually thought he'd seen it when obviously he was tripping his face off; or (3) presenting this as a reason to proclaim someone the greatest performer you've ever seen.
