• Van Morrison revisits perhaps his finest hour, forty years later

  Catch Pictureplane tomorrow night at Denver Creative Co-Op Studio​Got plans on Saturday, September 26? Um, we do. We'll be at the Wells Fargo Theatre. Just caught wind that the one and only Van Morrison will be making his way to the Mile High City on that date, and the only way we'll miss that show is if ... well, actually, there's no way we're missing that show. Wondering if he'll play songs from Astral Weeks -- only the greatest album of all time next to What's Going On -- in its entirety li

  ​As reported last week, Van Morrison will be digging through more than forty decades of songwriting when the Irishman visits the Wells Fargo Theatre Saturday, September 26. If the show's anywhere near the quality of his live recording of Astral Weeks, the show should be epic. Tickets run $90-$350 and go on sale Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. Former Til Tuesday frontwoman Aimee Mann will be at the Boulder Theater Wednesday, October 14.
