Happy 70th Birthday Van Morrison.

Bob Dylan and Van Morrison have performed together many times, here are some cool videos:

Winterland
San Francisco, California
25 November 1976

They say evrything can be replaced,
Yet every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west onto the east.
Any day now, any day how,
I shall be released.

I Shall Be Released (The Last Waltz)

Philopappos (The Hill Of The Muses)
Athens, Greece
27 June 1989

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that’s where I belong
Yet I’m running to her like a river’s song

Crazy Love (Van Morrison)

I saw you from a foreign window
Bearing down the sufferin’ road
You were carryin’ your burden

To the palace of the Lord
To the palace of the Lord

Foreign Window (Van Morrison)

Dundonald Ice Bowl
Belfast, Northern Ireland
6 February 1991

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey
She’s an angel of the first degree
She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

Tupelo Honey/Why Must I Always Explain?

Palatrussardi di Milano
Milano, Italy
8 June 1991

Whenever God shines his light on me
Opens up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
I know everything’s going to be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him he is there
When I am lonely as I can be
I know that God shines his light on me

Whenever God Shines His Light/Enlightenment

The Theater
Madison Square Garden
New York City, New York
16 January 1998

More and more, I’m forgetting the past
More and more, I’m living at last

Day by day, I’m losing my blues
More and more, I’m forgetting about you

More and More

NEC Arena
National Exhibition Center
Birmingham, England
24 June 1998

Mama, take this badge off of me
’cause I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.

Knocking On Heaven’s Door
