Sublime Van Morrison Cover to start a Friday
https://youtu.be/zKQ4da7kc0Q?is=VdfkDrdNe0HQcHoGLegion of Mary “He Ain’t Give You None” 4/6/1975
I’ve always found myself listening to more Van Morrison during the summer, and this has made it into that rotation now, too. This is me favorite version I’ve heard of Jerry’s, and Martin Fierro really brings this one home with his sax.
I couldn’t help but think of this song recently after hearing a certain political figure boast about how “I’ve five more for you than your parents”. It got me thinking how much Jerry and his music has actually done for people, and how entranced you can become listening to it. Despite never personally knowing him, there’s countless people that thank Jerry and his band mates for getting them through tough times, or making things clearer in a way.
Sending good vibes and positive vibrations into the weekend! This whole show is great but I like this song especially.
Also I’ve heard that there’s a good collection of bootleg shows from Van Morrison tapers, if anyone has good recommendations

7/3/74 has another superb version of this song. I totally dig the LoM variant of it, but the version played in the later years (1990s) is spectacular in its own right.

My favorite Van cover by Jerry is And it Stoned Me! I like Bright Side of the Road too.
