I prefer the original version, but still - when you listen to the crap music of today, you just wish this quality of music would still be all the rage :) x
so what if Van is not performing at his peek..This man is a multi genre legend...I just wish I could have been the places and performed with the artists he has...for me, just seeing him perform Brown Eyed Girl is cool..after what happened with Bang and all...just my 2 cents
the old hippies now fades back into the past...peace
ha we just witnessed one of the most soulful vocal performances ever seen and all people are talkin about is weather hes drunk or not.does it matter??hes a fuckin genius one way or the other!!

To you who "complains" that he might be drunk, I want too paraphrase Winston Churchill: "..and you my dear cannot sing. Tomorrow however I will be sober!"
Tell me. Is it true that Van lives part of the year in Pattya Thailand. I have been told that he has a bar there. I think he is great. I don't care whether he is drunk or not. I first heard of him years ago when he sang with the Chieftains.
If you listen to how he sings this song the last 4 or five years its sounds exactly the same.Thats how he wants to sing it.He is not drunk !!!!!!!!!!!!
Folks saw him at greek theater in LA many years ago and yes he was soo drunk he couldnt remember the lyrics got pissed off and left. But redeemed himself a few years ago in Philly he was soo tight and it was great to see him come back with a vengeance
@no1vanfan So legends don't get drunk??? "No one compares now or ever" ... yeah he was waaaay better than the Beatles ... or Stones ... or Hendrix, or Zep, or Sabbath, or the Doors, or Floyd, or Neil Young, or The Who ... yeah just stood out well above all others from the era. You may have overstated.
He is not drunk but even if he is He got 000 money for this song he is great ,He has been ripped off many times and will always be awesome or not.Those of u that think he is drunk post a song you wrote and can sing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't like Van don't listen to these videos. He is still wonderful and have you ever been drunk and stand with your eyes closes like he has always done while singing? If you have you would know you would lose your balance and fall down. He is great and always will be!
When I'm 70, I'll still be dancing to this song...as I do now at 56...as I did at 25...and will do until I'm ...NO...in my mind, I'll be "dancing" to this song forever!
nothin can beat Van Morrison, Van Broussard, Kenny Fife, Kane Glaze, Bits n Pieces, Wayne Toups, Rod bernard , Warren Storm and all the others, some of the best music out there, we need more players to keep these classics alive

his voice sounds slurred and all that but if you listen to his voice he is absolutely pitch perfect in tune and he remembers all the words...i think hes not drunk, just having fun with it after singing it so many times
>>This same video is on you tube with Van singing the song correctly.
Err....that's because someone "tinkered" with the audio and inexpertly substituted in the studio version of the song, thereby destroying the feel of the live version, warts and all. This is in fact VM himself singing. His vocal characteristics with it's distinctive accent are there if you listen for it.
@ROCKINRON11 You're insulting Van right now actually. In the other video they changed the audio and it's very clear because his lips do not match the speed or anything in the other version.
Not bad for a song Van himself referred to as a "throw-away" written and recorded to fulfill contractual obligations. Then again, Van Morrison could take a Spice Girls tune and give it character. A musical legend if there ever was one.
I prefer the original version, but still - when you listen to the crap music of today, you just wish this quality of music would still be all the rage :) x
