Veedon Fleece - Aftermath

Aftermath

This album was followed by a three year hiatus for Morrison from recording, and except for an appearance with The Band in 1976 on The Last Waltz concert at Winterland, from performing live. Clinton Heylin noted that Veedon Fleece is by far the most underplayed album in Morrison's canon. By 2010, only seven of the ten songs from the album have ever been played by Morrison in concert. Of those seven, only "You Don't Pull No Punches, But You Don't Push the River" and "Streets of Arklow" have been played more than twenty times live. "Fair Play" was performed for the first time live in June 2009. After Veedon Fleece, most of Morrison's albums would chart higher in the UK than in the United States, partly due to his move back to Europe several years afterward.

The 30 June 2008 reissued and remastered version of the album contains an alternative take of "Cul de Sac" and "Twilight Zone". "Who Was That Masked Man" from this album was listed as one of the standout tracks from the six album reissue.
