WHEN it comes to live performances you can't be sure whether you're going to get the good, the bad or the indifferent.
Van's live shows seem to veer between run-of-the-mill and stunning almost every night, and you never quite know how you're gonna catch Van The Man.
But the one thing you can guarantee is his trademark hat, black suit and shades, along with the likes of standout tracks Days Like This, In The Afternoon, The Healing Game and Precious Time, interspersed with classics Gloria, Brown Eyed Girl and Bright Side Of The Road.
Van's recent CD output comes in the shape of Down The Road, which, released earlier this year, has already spawned singles Hey Mr DJ and Meet Me In The Indian Summer.
So, while even the most loyal Van fan can't truly let you know what to expect, one thing's for sure - it's bound to ooze class.
Portsmouth Guildhall, October 14. Tickets: £27.50 and £23.50. Box Office: 023 9282 4355.
