Terrific song from a terrific album.  This one and Astral Weeks are probably his best.

Yep he has always had a reputation of an ornery old Irishman, but what great music!

there was a rad jazz pianist named ferdinand 'jellyroll' lamothe (morton)...in the wayback days. morrison refers to jelly roll in a few of his other songs..more of a "sexual reference"..but here since jelly roll is capitolized on the lyric sheet it probably refers to musician and thus  his effect on morrison .......I'm 100% certain that I may or may not be correct

This was the first VM song that really got me into it... after this one... I just haven't been able to stop listening his songs!!! I would love to see him playing/singing live!!!! 
my last wish will be to have VM at my funeral service!

I fricking love this song! Such a classic. Reminds me of my youth with a good friend who I don't see anymore nearly as much as I'd like... :-)

I cannot bring myself to rate this song, because I probably can't be objective.  I used to love Van Morrison, and I suppose I still do, but several songs off this album are just played to death.  Years ago, it would have been a "10" for sure.  Between RP and my local alterna-station (hey, I haven't figured out how to stream RP in my car yet), I hear something off of this album two or more times a day.

That's just too often for me.

It always interests me to see how another artists' interpretation can change my perception of a song I thought was already worked over. The Jerry Garcia Band used to play this in concert, in a much more languorous manner (Garcia did like to slow things down, way down, sometimes). But, this allowed the words to come through in a way I had never experienced. It really deepened my appreciation of the song.

I went to a memorial service last month, and this song was played. I had a very hard time keeping it together.

Van Morrison. So under rated and under appreciated. His work is very good. I've always liked everything he has done. This album in particular is awesome. "Into the Mystic" will be played at my funeral. 10

What up folks... Just registered to comment on this.
I too wondered for years about the Jelly Roll reference in
"And It Stoned Me"... Just to get the answer right for yez...

It is a Reference to Jelly Roll Morton... The FIRST True composer of Jazz Music, especially on piano. When heard for the first time... It is said to have "Stoned" people. LOL

As you'll notice in the lyrics... It stoned me just like Jelly Roll, the reference is capitolized... Thus the name!

Peace Y'all

Just saw Van in Phoenix in September of 06'. He's still got it! A classic performer that will remain through time.

''Van performed live one night'' indeed. You are likely referring to VM's appearance in The Last Waltz, in which Van was but one of many R+R stars performing ''live.''
