Van Morrison
San Francisco, CA
December 1988
I have been a fan his for years and so when I had the opportunity to see him in concert in California, I could hardly wait. We waited in line for hours to get in to the venue. We got our seats and we thrilled. He came out on stage and sang a few songs and chatted with us for a little bit. Then he left the stage and never came back. And we all accepted this disappointment because he was know to have drug and alcohol problems at that time and this was the best he could give us on this day. So we went home.
He has continued to produce music even today in his 70s. He's gotten his drinking under control. I'm not sure I would go see him again as I am not that forgiving. But I still like to listen to him.
