Review

Rolling Stone (p.64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The album is still like nothing else in rock, a quiet union of breathtaking opposites: Morrison's soul-trance reflections on his early life in Belfast and the tension of the chamber-jazz arrangements."
Entertainment Weekly (p.55) - "The strings, flute, etc., are all present...The deceptively timeless fluidity induces a wonderful mystic fog..." -- Grade: A-
Down Beat (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he singer is in fine fettle returning to his 1969 triumph following forays into country, blues and Mose Allison-inspired jazz."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is a tour de force, heady, joyful, ambitious, elegiac and -- as with the 1968 original -- unlike anything else."
Blender (Magazine) (p.63) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[B]y the time Morrison hits the guttural moans of the bonus track 'Listen to the Lion,' the songs have opened up like a source of eternal life."

Title Note

In 2008, Van Morrison decided to revisit his classic ASTRAL WEEKS album on the occasion of its 40th birthday by performing it in its entirety at a couple of L.A. concerts. Fortunately, the event was documented for posterity. Accompanied by a band that includes a couple of the original musicians from the ASTRAL WEEKS sessions, Morrison digs as deep into the mystic as ever, stirring up a soulful, all-acoustic mix of folk, rock, and jazz that sounds as ground-breaking now as it must have in 1968. If anything, the years in between have only added to Morrison's vocal gravitas, and allowed the Irish troubadour to to dig even further into these poetic, richly evocative tunes and bring out their innate transcendent qualities.
