The Reet's friend, Louise, is going to the United Palace in NYC tonight to see Van Morrison for the second of three sold-out shows. Very jealous.
New York Times pop/rock listings: VAN MORRISON/BOBBY (BLUE) BLAND (Friday through Sunday) Through the years since he had hits with songs like “Brown-Eyed Girl” and “Moondance,” Van Morrison has lent his Irish soul to blues and Celtic music, country and R&B. Lately his live shows have been like visits to some suave late-1950s lounge where historical eras dissolve. Bobby (Blue) Bland, the longtime soul singer who’s opening the concerts, should keep him on his toes; despite some gaps in his voice, Mr. Bland can still ache and implore in ways that rival those of any singer alive. At 7 p.m., United Palace, 4140 Broadway, at 175th Street, Washington Heights, (212) 568-5260, theunitedpalace.com; $79 to $254. (Pareles)
Here is a YouTube clip of Van from The Last Waltz doing Radio with The Band:
