Very cool. Can't wait for the DVD. Astral Weeks is my favorite Van Morrison album.

Anybody know why Dr. Richard Davis didn't make it to the Hollywood Bowl (as billed) for this?  I like his work on BlueNote (such as on Dolphy's "Out To Lunch", his several recordings with Andrew Hill, and with Joe Henderson).  He also did a beautiful job as a session artist on Springsteen's "Meeting Across The River".  What a player!
