Van Morrison: Under Review 1977-1987 Another Glorious Decade
Directed by Elliot Riddle2015 90m
In the late nineteen seventies, Van Morrison reappeared after several years on hiatus, a period during which he had gone from being one of the world s biggest stars to a memory from rock n roll s past - and music had moved on during his absence. Though the film focuses on the albums A Period Of Transition (1977) to Poetic Champions Compose (1987), it does give a bit of Van Morrison's earlier history at the beginning, including mention of Them, plus a bit of his early solo career. It also goes into 1974's Veedon Fleece, and how its lower sales led to a three-year absence just before A Period Of Transition, and how an appearance in The Last Waltz led to a friendship with Dr. John, who worked with him on the 1977 record.
