Van Morrison - Blackpool Winter Gardens Opera House.
Sat 26th January 2008
Show
@ 7.30pm
Van Morrison continues to make great music & continues to inspire new generations of fans and artists alike.
Here on ‘Still On Top – The Greatest Hits’ are 37 classic tracks which chronicle Van’s incredible journey so far, all remaining true to his mantra “it’s always been about soul”.
The double album is the definitive collection of Van’s original recordings. There are musical milestones from 5 decades of prolific recording, including – for the first time on a Greatest Hits collection – his powerful songs from the 90's and new millennium.
Among the gems included are 1995’s ‘Days Like This’, an alternative version of 1997’s ‘Healing Game’ and 2 already-classics from 2005: ‘Celtic New Year’ and ‘Stranded’.
‘Still On Top’ moves seamlessly across the genres, reflecting a career which began in the 60s with the hat-trick of ‘Here Comes The Night’, ‘Gloria’ and ‘Brown-Eyed Girl’ and has not faltered since. Highlights from the 70's include ‘Domino’, ‘Jackie Wilson Said’ and ‘Warm Love’. Among those selected from the 80's are the romantic ballad ‘Someone Like You’ (one of many Van songs borrowed by the big screen, in this case for Bridget Jones’s Diary) and the glorious ‘Have I Told You Lately?’.
