    Sweet.  That's his best album (IMHO).  Is he still good live?

    hes great live... his voice hasnt changed much (within reason)... lol just expect every song to have long solos so he can rest his voice... didnt bother me tho!

    i saw him 2 years ago at ACL, in the pit! and the only complaint i had was, "wow, i wish he played more astral weeks!!" so you can only imagine how pumped i am about these shows. he'll do the classics like gloria nad brown eyed girl, and i was put off by the backing vocals.  she did a great job but  was rather over powering at times.

    I just saw Van in concert at Massey Hall in Toronto this past July and it was an absolutely great concert.....Vans voice is still there but obviously much lower with his age...His back up singers do some of those high notes that he was so famous for in his youth, and it all fits well. 

    I am a life long fan of Van and I was blown away to  finally see  him live......he truly is a legend in our time.  And the band was right on as well....all working in unison to make Van Magic!!!!!

    I only wish I could make it down to Hollywood bowl for the upcoming concert.
