DISAPPOINTED

Sorry I'm sure he's tired of playing his biggest hits BUT we still love them His ending was an embarrassment to himself and unprofessional

SAD

Love Van Morrison. My mom was from Ballymena, Northern Ireland. He sounded great, but it was so disappointing to wait for my favorite song (Moon Dance) and find out he would not sing it and walked off 15 minutes before the end and not return only to leave the band to pick up the pieces. The band saved the show for him. Too much money for too little. It was very disrespectful to his fans and Brown Eyed Girl was a disappointment. It sounded like an imposter.

NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED

Always been a fan but never seen live. Was excited but disappointed by the performance There was no transition pause between songs, no interaction with the audience and every single song was done fast paced even songs that were originally a slower ballad style. His voice was still great and the band top notch but it felt like a large scale new or leans blue/jazz band the entire concert. It ended with him handing off the stage to let the musicians each do solos and he never came back. Also lacked some if the classics his song list had at other venues. For the cost it was meh

TOO SHORT FOR MY LIKING

I paid to see Van Morrison - and paid a lot - and he sounded great and played some of his better known songs - but the short concert left me feeling like I got cheated. Had I paid 1/2 the price, the "half a concert" would have been fine. Fortunately it was a beautiful night under the pavilion. Too bad he didn't play Moondance. :( Disappointed.

VAN WAS GREAT, UNTIL HE WASN’T

Van played a bunch of great bluesy, jazzy tunes and got the crowd rockin. Was feeling really good. Then, at about 90 mins in, he exited stage right to let the band jam for a while during Gloria. The band finished the song, walked off the stage, and the lights came on. Van never came back, never took a bow, never said thank you, NOR played Moondance or Into the Mystic. What kind of egomaniac just walks off the stage in the middle of the show?!? Glad I saw him, I think?!?

VAN MORRISON IN SAN DIEGO

VAN MORRISON and band played well, but failed to cover songs from the 60s which many folks in the audience wanted to hear.

3.0 star rating Terri Ciampoli from San Diego, California

DISAPPOINTMENT

Always wanted to see him. Love the venue, Van Morrision's voice is still amazing, fellow musicians were awesome. Disappointment because he did not play any classic songs (domino, tupalo honey, brown eyed girl, etc), played from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM only. Walked off stage about ten till 9, let the band finish up Gloria, and that was it. He never address his audience from the start, no at the end. For the $1,000 price tag on this event, very disappointed.
