Van Morrison Live at the Capitol Theatre Passaic NJ 1979

Live at the Capitol Theatre Passaic NJ 1979 is a live recording of Van Morrison while he was promoting the Into The Music studio album.

It was recorded in New Jersey, USA on October 6, 1979 and has been released on the 101 Distribution label. As such, this is not an artist approved release but squeezes through the copyright laws in Europe.

Van Morrison has not released enough official live albums in my opinion because his studio output in the late 1970s ranged from outstanding to interesting. Live, he has a reputation as a moody, unpredictable performer with concerts ranging from brilliant to awful.

Caught on a good night, his music can redeem your soul.

Taj Mahal Live & Direct 1979

Live & Direct is a live album by Taj Mahal and the International Rhythm Band.

It was recorded in 1979 and his experimenting found him playing reggae instead of his more normal blues based music. He’s always been adventurous and keen to incorporate new sounds and unusual instruments into his music but, is a reggae album a touch too far?
