News Who's Going to See Astral Weeks?

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 9:44 AM

This guy is!

While it might drain the bank account a bit too much in these troubled times, traveling to Los Angeles to see Van Morrison perform a "cover-to-cover recreation of Astral Weeks" at the Hollywood Bowl is definitely worth it. Granted, decisions like this are the reason why I am not a financial adviser.

It's press release time:

Van Morrison will perform his 1968 album Astral Weeks in its entirety during back-to-back concerts Nov. 7-8 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The concerts will feature some of the original musicians featured on the classic album.

Wow. Just take all my money right now. I don't care, just as long as I get to hear this song...

LISTEN:
Van Morrison - "Astral Weeks" Removed by request of Web Sheriff, because illicit streaming is killing the music industry.

Hi Again Ezra,

Thanks again for your reply ... .. fyi, this track is very easy to rip and, as such, it still acts as a source ... .. the promotion is greatly - and genuinely - appreciated and, when Exile wish to offer streams of tracks from "Astral Weeks" to Van's fans, they'll be doing this off the official site at vanmorrison.com .

Best (to All),

"easy to rip"? Really?

Well, regardless, here is what I will do Web Sheriff. Because you asked, I will take down the stream of a 40-year-old song (I'd hate for that to leak), and I will also NOT run the feature article and numerous blog posts I had planned for the show. I'd hate for my generous coverage to ignite any illicit downloading or streaming. My apologies.

Keep fighting the good fight, Sheriff.
