It’s Too Late to Stop Now

It was a solid live album, I didn't recognize any of the songs but it was a good listen.

It's Van Morrison... but LIVE! 🤷

Alright for a live album. A bit long..

Not usually a big fan of live double albums, but the musicians in this are amazing.

I guess I enjoyed this album. Van Morrison is not someone I would ever remember to listen to but it was decent enough. Good energy, well played, well recorded. Im not sure if there were overdubs but if there were they did a good job of blending in. One and done for me but I liked it well enough. 3/5

We melden het maar weer. Live-albums = valsspelen. Dat naast me neergelegd:

Dit is een kwalitatief hoogwaardig optreden. We hoorden op de studio albums al dat de man kan zingen (als hij wil). Dat blijkt niet afhankelijk van een studio waar je makkelijk een stukje over kan doen. Live houdt hij anderhalf uur stand. (Wat voor mij wel weer iets te lang is.) Ik heb het bij de studio albums ook al opgemerkt. Van Morrison weet dat hij een goede stem heeft, maar hij is niet egoïstisch en gaat voor het geheel. Hij trekt de aandacht zeker niet weg van de instrumenten en zorgt ervoor dat alles sterk samengaat. Reden om de sterren naar boven af te ronden.

I feel like if I went to a Van Morrison concert and he didn’t even play Brown Eyed Girl I would be pissed. The band is really tight here. Very good live album.

It's decent I just don't understand why I have to listen to this. It feels like overkill after a while

3.75 Solid Live album

Ah, Van Morrison, now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time, not since my third album. Anyways, It's Too Late to Stop Now is an album that is pretty dang solid. I think that Van Morrison might be another case of an artist/band that sounds better live than in the studio. While Moondance was an alright album, this one is definitely a step up as it just sounds more jazzy, more upbeat and just has a lot more energy and memorability. There is one thing you really have to get around though, and that is the fact that this album is VERY long, It is an hour and a half long and many of the songs definitely feel like they drag. Despite that, this was actually a pretty solid listen.
Best Song: Into the Mystic
Worst Song: Help Me

Fuck me sideways, a live double album from a musician I'm usually happy to ignore, and will happily return to ignoring very soon.

'And it's ever present everywhere / And it's ever present everywhere.' So sings Van the Man on 'Warm Love,' one of the essentials from Hard Nose. When belted on this live recording it yet obtains new significance: 'ever present' is precisely how I'd describe this album. Morrison, tho always in some sort of flow state or rambling and scatting mindfulness, is particularly 'in the moment' here. While you'd want any live experience to be about the occasion, many live records do not manage to capture that here-and-now quality, but this one does brilliantly. Not only does Van sing w/ a 'it's too late to stop now' sensibility, but the backing musicians (e.g., the trumpet on 'I Believe to My Soul') achieve a verve not even Van attains in the studio.

Great album! I'd probably give it 5-stars if it was a little shorter; I feel like they could have cut a few songs to make this absolutely outstanding. That said, Caravan and Cyprus Avenue are both phenomenal and these renditions alone are making me consider giving an it extra star!

Favourite tracks: Ain't Nothing You Can't Do, Into the Mystic, I've Been Working, Domino, I Just Want to Make Love to You, Bring It On Home to Me, Caravan, Cyprus Avenue

Buff, otro directo, con la manía que les tengo y que ya he comentado por aquí. Empieza bien y el sonido es bastante bueno. Lo esperable, una recopilación de un momento de la carrera de un grupo o cantante. Hoy en día no me atraen nada los discos en directo. No me parece justo darle una mala puntuación, pero serían más 2 estrellas que 3.

It's quite jaunty and assured. It's very long, but it played nicely enough in the background.

It's good. Morrison has a unique voice and it's displayed well here. I don't love the length, and, honestly, I preferred all of the studio albums over this live album. It's probably a 3.5 but I'll round down so that I can separate it from the albums I liked more.
