Van Morrison to perform Astral Weeks live

He will be performing with original album players Richard Davis and Jay Berliner.

There's a good story about it in the Observer.

"It's about the world of creation and of the imagination: That is what a song is, a little movie with melodies and music built around it, poetry in moving pictures in the mind... In the 60's and 70's the record companies did not support the music, so I never got to take these songs on tour, and I certainly did not have the money to do it. These songs are as timeless and fresh right now as the day they were written and I am happy about taking them to the Hollywood Bowl." So says Van on the official site.
