"Van Morrison The Concert" is the second video released by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. Recorded in New York the previous year, the concert featured two special guests and long-time friends Mose Allison and John Lee Hooker, each of whom performed some of their own songs. This video mainly consisted of Morrison's work from his last two albums; including four songs from both "Avalon Sunset" and "Irish Heartbeat".
