1984 Original. Van Morrison’s "Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast" album, released in 1984, captures the Northern Irish singer-songwriter performing in his hometown at the height of his creative resurgence. Recorded over two nights in March 1983, this live album features Morrison with his accomplished band, delivering songs drawn mostly from his late 1970s and early 1980s repertoire, including tracks from "Into the Music" and "Beautiful Vision." The Grand Opera House itself, a historic and ornate venue, provides a resonant backdrop that underscores the personal significance of the performance for Morrison, who grew up nearby and often references Belfast in his lyrics and themes.
