Notes: Musicians : Van Morrison, Ned Edwards, David Hayes, Matt Holland, Bobby Irwin, Gavin Povey, Martin Winning. Guests : Chris Barber, Chris Farlowe Review (excerpts from the Wavelength Magazine) ....Ned Edwards judiciously murdered "Cadillac Baby" with aplomb, and a hesitant and ultimately shortend "All Blues" lead up to Van coming on stage. He was looking really svelte, yes that word is now appropriate, but a mite pale, as the Band launched into "Only A Dream". He was struggling with the mikrophone and his vocals were muted, but nothing too amiss for a first song. Unusually Matt Holland came and stood next to Van after "Only A Dream" as Van looked clearly discomforted and edgy. The Band went into "Muleskinner Blues" as Van clutched his back and winced. and his voice had gone. Ned Edwards`vocals were much louder as Van struggled through the song, his voice a whisper, the words spoken at times. He was so distracted he didn`t introduce Chris Barber onto stage, who came on and played a stonking fiery solo, but Van was obviously in pain and went off as the song ended. Matt Holland then said that "Mr. Morrison wanted to take a second" and would we like them to play for us. Encouraged by the positive response Chris Barber came centre stage and launched into a great version of "Goin` Home". Then Chris Farlowe was asked on stage by Matt Holland. So Chris Farlowe shuffled on, saying "Bloody Hell - he`s put me in a right situation here now !", launched into a version of "Sometimes We Cry" which the Band played as hard as they could to make up for our disappointment. Chris Farlowe said "...eat your heart out, Tom Jones" , and played around with the words. As he left the stage a besuited management type came out and explained that Van had a bad fall in the afternoon and had a broken rib. He had tried to carry on with the performance but could no longer continue. The show was cancelled, as was the next night`s. So that was it. Quite extraordinary.
