Comments on Here Comes the Night

nope, not to my knowledge, there are a few versions (in foreign languages mostly), but follow the same jaunty jaunt...

um, I reviewed that collection (Them - The Story Of Them Featuring Van Morrison, 2CD on Deram) when it came out (10?) years ago! ha ha read it out loud...

Y’all may NOT give a fuck, but fo’ l’il Van Morrison, lover’o yer “brown eye”, girls, made “Lite” FM his home, he fronted a DIRTY R&B band outta Belfast, Ireland inna sixties called THEM! Now, Them won’t from Liverstool’r London, they ain’t Merseybeat’r Mod, rather Them gotta Stones/Animals feelin’, tho’ mo’ tortured’n soiled with stompin’ RAVE UP “punk”!!! Fact, Vanny wrote a couple “standards” yer “garage/punk” set has, fo’ the past 35 years, replayed. Anyways, this 2CD a nearly COMPLETE anthological study’o Them’s recorded history ‘twixed ’64-’66...both LPs’n all single’s through ’68 come out...fifty SOLID tracks shuttin’ down everythang he gotdamn done since!

I guess now tho' those standards (Gloria & I Can Only Give You Everything...Them's arrangment of ig Joe Williams' Baby Please Don't Go counts TOO) are 45 years old! Anyways, that comp is great...Mystic Eyes is one of my fave all time raves!!!

youre right josh -- great comp, great song, cheeseball verse. but "here it comes..." -> guitar twang -> "here comes the night" is one of the best three seconds ever put to tape.

also epic: vans cover of "its all over now baby blue," made (more) famous by the deft sampling touch of beck hanson.

I checked and HCtN is credited to Bert Berns, who wrote and produced the track, so THEM prolly had very little to do with arranging the song and it's oddly bummpy jaunty jaunts. I'd reckon the band didn't even play on the record.

Jimmy Page did a lot of session work for Them, since their line-up was fluid, to say the least. I doubt the pugnacious Morrison was much fun to work with back then, but I'll be damned if he wasn't one of the best green-eyed soul singers ever (and no, I didn't mean to say blue...).

Hey,
Check out the version Van did on the live album It's Too Late to Stop Now from the mid-70's. The phrasing goes from the "skiffle" of the original to something soulful and sad. This is the definite version.
