Have you ever seen The Last Waltz? He performance of Caravan in it is hi-larious, sooo wasted. He just kind of wanders off the stage before he's even done with the song, but yeah, it was back in 1976.
ahah i have! it's fantastic. he just leaves the stage without even saying anything and the band is like, haha, van the man, ladies and gentlemen! but i still love that performance, the last two minutes with the leg kicking and just general craziness. i love it.
Omg the leg kicking, he just kind of gets tired and does this weird arm/fist thrusting thing with a half kick...which is where i go in my head every time i hear caravan, and then people wonder why that song could possibly make me giggle. hahaha, good god van.
I was so excited when he played "Sweet Thing" on Late Nite! Van Morrison is fucking awesome.
Also, I appreciate "Brown Eyed Girl," because it feels like everybody else always writes about blue eyes or green eyes, and dammit, brown eyes deserve some credit!

I'm so jealous. Madame George is one of my all time favorite songs.
