Van Morrison in Ireland is 60 minutes of Van Morrison belting out 12 songs, in which the quality of the music and the intensity of the singer speak for themselves. Interviews with the rock star (born in Ireland) were recorded, but nixed by him before the film went into final editing. Some shots of the singer in Dublin are the only scenes outside the concert stage, and were meant to underscore the fact that this was his first live performance in his native land in 15 years.
