Review by Scott Thomas:
By the early 1990's, Van Morrison had stopped participating in formal tours preferring instead to play scattered concerts at times and venues of his own choosing with a constantly evolving set of musicians. For these late 1993 West Coast concerts, he takes a kind of Irish showband approach: band members Georgie Fame and Brian Kennedy, his daughter Shana, and blues greats Junior Wells, Jimmy Witherspoon, and John Lee Hooker all get their turns at the mike. This, however, is not Ringo's All-Starrs. Van weaves his guests into the program without ever losing the overall thread of the performance: clearly, it was his show even when he was watching from the wings.
His first live album from twenty years earlier, It's Too Late to Stop Now!, distinguished itself with its mix of Morrison originals and covers of soul and blues classics. A Night in San Francisco takes this a step further and interweaves the originals and covers in a series of medleys that betray VanХs fecund imagination and expansive musical database. Thus, "Moondance" turns into "My Funny Valentine," and "In the Garden" morphs into Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" which, after briefly quoting "Real Real Gone," becomes "Allegheny," a modern folk song written by Bill Staines.
This is a gargantuan collection; two discs and almost two and half hours of music.
