fuck can a van fan help me out... saw some footage... I can't remember of which song... but it's a live concert that then shows Van walking around Belfast and driving up Cyprus Ave...
incredible energy and investment of self into a song...this is why I have admire this guy so much over all these years...great strains of gospel organ and perfect back up guitar support, all create a feeling of controlled, delusional intensity.
@sillykidssong Yessuh...and here's where it all came from; his mother, Violet. Do a youtube search for "Violet Morrison sings He's Got The Whole World In His Hands", and see what I mean. Enjoy!
Dear Mr Rubin, that's indeed very fine footage, and thanks so very much for posting. I'll be seeing Mr Grumpy on 22nd. It would be sooo fine if he sang Cyprus Avenue, but HEY! You can't have everything! Less BEG, Gloria, etc more the rest!
HaHaHaHa - 'kin fantabulous

Masters of the "quietlude" - for more tension than getting loud and staying loud

I saw this when it was simulcast live in the NYC area on WNET TV and WBAI FM. That's the moment I became a hard core VTM fan.

Roger, you any relation to Nathan Rubin, violinist in the Caledonia Soul Orchestra/Van's backing band of the early 1970s?
