As many of you already know, Van Morrison is taping each and every of his performances since the early 70s.
The information within these pages derive from fan recordings and may differ from Mr. Morrison's.
A performance is defined as follows:
 one public appearance on a given day the first public appearance on a given day, when two shows are played the last public appearance on a given day, when two shows are played one public appearance on a given day with restricted public access rehearsal done for a public appearance; as there are rehearsals before every show (and Van Morrison doesn't attend all of them) only the fan recorded ones and/or the made public ones are listed one public appearance on a given day intended for broadcasting known studio appearance; there are many more as Van Morrison is always working, but yet unknown to me  appearing as guest of another artist these performances were advertised but did not happen for various reasons; 2020/21 list many reschedued and/or definitely cancelled performances due to COVID-19 restrictions
