" I had always wanted to play the record live and fully orchestrated—that is what this is all about.
I always like live recording and I like listening to live records too. I'm not too fond of being in a studio—it's too contrived and too confining.
I like the freedom of live, in-the-moment sound."
[Van Morrison during an Interview with David Wilde (Rolling Stone USA) 16-FEB-2009]
