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.
