Leonard Cohen and Van Morrison at MSG this weekend, but Van will NOT be back for Rock Hall of Fame shows
Little Leonard Cohen headlines the giant Madison Square Garden this evening (10/23). Van Morrison plays the smaller Theater on Sunday (10/25).
Van Morrison was actually scheduled to make an appearance in the bigger venue too this month, but...
The concerts celebrating the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are right around the corner on 29 and 30 October at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. There has been a change in the guest lineup for 30 October, the evening Eric Clapton is scheduled to perform. Van Morrison is no longer on the show. Buddy Guy will now be performing. Other special guests for Friday include Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Beck, Jerry Lee Lewis, Annie Lennox and Lenny Kravitz.Speaking of cancellations and Lenny Kravitz, Lenny's recently cancelled show at Irving Plaza was rescheduled for October 28th.

Van Morrison concert in Balt was a huge rip off. Don’t go. I just spent a $1,000 on four tickets for the Baltimore show (10/27) and it was terrible. At $60 each, perhaps worthwhile.
Band was not tight. Van could not play the guitar at all; it is just a prop. Very sad for him, but not fair to an audience paying a fortune to not disclose what you are really getting. Not a word to the audience, no encore despite long requests. Individually band members very talented and delightful to hear. Much needed to cover Van’s many misses. Moondance, Brown Eye G, and Gloria were almost unrecognizable. Don’t spend money on this, you will be disappointed. Ric
