The latest in a line of major artists to walk away from the music industry without walking away from music, Van Morrison launched his new career as Record Company Head with a two-night recording session at the Bowl. To kick-start his new Listen To The Lion Records, he revived his 1968 album Astral Weeks, bringing back original session guitarist and Mingus sideman Jay Berliner (bassist Richard Davis was also scheduled to appear but a family emergency forced him to pull out). A large number of Angelenos will be forever grateful to him for opening the studio doors.

Tonight legendary English rock band the Who will be stopping through the Nokia Theatre. Van the Man will be performing 1968's Astral Weeks in its entirety at the Hollywood Bowl once more.

Los Angeles-based experimental producer Daedelus is slated to open for renowned laptop musician Flying Lotus. We're dying to see Mr. Darling get the floor moving with a monome!

Van Morrison fans have gotten used to a fairly dependable routine when the man comes to town: a main set made up of primarily brand-new material, a perfunctory couple of hits for an encore, and out. That tendency makes this weekend's appearance at the Hollywood Bowl, at which he will re-create the legendary album Astral Weeks in its entirety, all the more special.
