Review about Caravan ------Performed by Van Morrison | 07/23/2006 11:00:00 AM Live Version on The Last Waltz I'm rooned! If I heard this song in its orignal context (I assume its on a Van album) I would hate it! I have grown up (since 1981) with the live version that appears on The Band's Last Waltz masterpiece, where Van, backed by The Band, pumps out an outrageous 1 song set: this song, Caravan. He wears a sequinned brown jumpsuit, and looks like a mad leprechaun as he leaps about, barks and growls, and backs it up with pure energetic showmanship. Listen to it, watch it on DVD, but do not miss it. Elvis meets Iggy Pop. Thanks to Stavros for submitting the review.
