Erica and went to see Van Morrison tonight at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) in Rhode Island. I’ve always wanted to see him and it was worth the wait. Mr. Morrison and his band were extraordinary. They played almost two hours with no breaks at all. It’s was solid Van Morrison minute to minute. PPAC is a small theater with excellent acoustics. We had a great view from the edge of the first balcony. The seats were perfect.

Van Morrison is a versatile musician, comfortable and expert whether playing the saxophone, harmonica, guitar or keyboards. His voice has been heard for over 40 years and is as unique as his music.

Van Morrison started off a little tentative, but he realized very soon how enthusiastic this crowd was going to be. His performance and intensity increased with each song. It was really fun to see the passion fly off the stage note for note. I think my favorite song was their extended rendition of Moondance.

When it was over, I left wanting more (selfish I know) but was incredibly happy to see and hear everything in the performance tonight.
