 The Caledonia Soul Orchestra was the band created by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison in 1973. The band was named after an eighteen-minute instrumental outtake on the His Band and the Street Choir album.

     Cyprus Avenue

 In 1973 Van Morrison and the Caledonia Soul Orchestra went on a three-month tour of the United States and Europe, the result of which was the live double album It's Too Late to Stop Now. The title is taken from the last line in the lyrics of one of Morrison's songs, "Into the Mystic" from the 1970 Moondance album. In live performances with the Caledonia Soul Orchestra, he would close the concert with a lengthened version of the Astral Weeks song "Cyprus Avenue" and then shout out "It's too late to stop now!" as he exited the stage. 

  I was lucky that I saw Van Morrison with his Caledonia Soul Orchestra perform in De Doelen in Rotterdam that same year, a beautiful stage. It was my first VM concert, many more would follow, about 30 times. The last was at North Sea Jazz 2023 also in Rotterdam.
