@Jarrahnut ... sorry ... I don't know how on earth that last comment of mine cropped up three times ... wish I knew how to delete it ...

[Jarrahnut]

Great track! I used to live just up the road from Van Morrison in the Bloomfield area of Belfast. He is a very talented individual. Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia.

What Key is this in ? I absolutely have to learn this ^^

[Manu9078]

@TheDucob G blues. Although you've probably figured it out by now haha!

[LenKenny]

I think I'm right in saying:– Dallas Taylor - Drums, Jerome Rimson - Bass and Pete(of 18 with a bullet fame) - piano.

Who is the band Van the man is playing with? They are the same dudes that play on 'i like it like that'.............he always picked the best to play with?

If this don't get you tapping, niothin' will man.....

[Rory99M]

Anyone know what key he's playing harp in?

[Manu9078]

@Rory99M

his harp is in C

[slicktheslickster]

@Manu9078 not a C harp.

[Manu9078]

@slicktheslickster

Really?? Well the piano player was playing in G blues/boogie so... you would use a C harp to play in G

[no1vanfan]

how many instruments can The Man play. Wow. I love my Baby.  Roll on London Feis

[pennstatefan713]

if this doesn't make you tap your foot, you have absolutely no soul or heart,

[FabianBajorat]

isn't it harmonica boogie? thought so.

i've rarely seen an artist do something completely else, in this case talking and drinking, then going to the mic and delivering perfectly.

although he lacked the usual passion that night and seemed like a robot throughout some songs he remains what he always is when he does his music: perfect

[MrPolymeneas]

@FabianBajorat yes you were right about the title.i heard it before but i wasn't sure about it.so i looked up to it and i' ve changed it.

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

@FabianBajorat Have you ever had a day when you did not want to go to work but had to, just maybe van had one of those days but still delivered the goods....................

[FabianBajorat]

@HAPPYTHELEAF didnt say anything else. that is what is so admirable about him. even when he doesnt have a good day he still delivers........

[vossmeister]

This is fantastic! Was this on the Montreux DVD?

[amylegut]

Man blows a mean harp! Wasome!

[slicktheslickster]

@amylegut dude, do you realize how many great harp players out there? he's just okay.
