Mr. Hansard, accompanied by Joe Doyle on the stand-up bass, takes Mr. Morrison's Astral Weeks to a whole new plane.
If you stay through the last minute-and-a-half you will be ready for anything come Monday morning.
I promise...

Lots of energy here.I looked up all the lyrics from Astral Weeks a couple of minutes ago and found myself back in Berkeley lamenting a lost love, that's how powerful that album is . Like I've said before Richard Davis drove that whole album. Interesting story about how the musicians came to be on the recording at Wiki.I need a new copy ,my old one is worn out.Yes we'll need a new plane cause the leg is back.

Mr. Davis the driver, indeed.
The guy playing the bass in this clip, Joe Doyle, is usually impervious to guitar player/screamer Hansard's antics given how long the two of them have been playing together, but even he loses it a little near the end here.
I just look for covers of AWeeks because, relatively speaking at least, there is so little of Van the Man online...Should probably get myself a new copy of the original also.
