This is the first Van Morrison album I bought, probably some 20 years ago by now. I found it then, and still do, a very good album but I do think it has something of a dull quality to it that keeps it from ever getting anywhere over very good no matter the number of listens. Moondance and Tupelo Honey are Van the Man's two greatest albums and they are both masterpieces. I would also list His Band and Street Choir as well as Saint Dominic's Preview above this one. Still, as said, a very good one.
Overall ranking: #188
Best tracks: Sweet Thing, Astral Weeks, The Way Young Lovers Do.

I bought the live version at the Hollywood Bowl recently, and I expected it to be sick. I was dissapointed, I actually regret buying it for the very first time, in my whole life I regret buying a record. For some reason I didn't liked it as much as the studio version, not even close. 🙁

Was that recorded recently? If so, Morrison's voice might not be what it used to be.

Yes indeed, it was recorded in 2009 I think. But still i've never liked Morrison's voice that much, I don't think is terrible but the instrumentation is what I love from "Astral Weeks", but in the live album there was something weird, I don'k know but i really didn't like it.
