OU: The recent invite-only London gig showcasing Magic Time, Van Morrison's new album, attracted many leading music journalists, including Andy Kershaw, the highly-regarded BBC Radio 3 presenter.
Kershaw reviewed the gig/album on his Radio 3 show last night, playing Just Like Greta. In a nutshell, Kershaw loved the gig.
"But last night's performance of Magic Time confounded any low expectations induced by studying the lyrics too minutely. The set was stuffed with engaging arrangements. Some world-class singing (Morrison's voice is in great shape) and lively musicianship contributed to an impressively strong gig, with not a few highlights. Lesson: you can't judge a song by its lyrics."
"Last night's Shaw Theatre gig reminded the 500 in attendance that Morrison is still an outstanding live performer. His other-worldly exit coda to Precious Time, which seemed to overlay scatting in Irish jig time on to the song's ska beat, while simultaneously exhibiting his virtuoso command of dynamics, gave a glimpse of a consummate musician at the top of his game."
