@C2Cigars sure it's the Blizzards we see but it's Them we hear ('65 version) ; Van only toured with Cuby in '67 and I don't think they've recorded anything together...
this is not Them...Van Morrison left Them in 1966...as the clip clearly states, this is Van Morrison performing with the Dutch group Cuby & the Blizzards in 1967. Please correct your title and tags and give credit where credit is due.
@youngmindedman ha ha ha...not quite the same person. Imagine Van topless in leather trousers with beads!! Although they did hang out together, Van and Jim, and got on stage at the whiskey together from time to time. Jim Morrison was a big fan of Van and Them at the time they all played those LA Clubs in the mid - late '60's.
@youngmindedman Van Morrison was never in the Doors - you're thinking of Jim Morrison, the lead singer from the Doors. Van Morrison is a Northern Irish singer and frontman of the 60s rhythm and blues band Them (seen in this clip here). Them are best known for their version of "Baby Please Don't Go" as well as "Gloria" and "Mystic Eyes". Van Morrison has had a very successful solo career and one his biggest hits was "Brown Eyed Girl".
Very cool !
