Comments from original uploader: There was a lot of variability in the overall recrding level throughout the recording, even within individual tracks, on the original CDRs. I have applied gains at various points throughout the show to help compensate for the disparity in levels. No noise reduction or compression was used.

Notes on the source:
Research through the archives of the Vancouver Sun finally revealed that the date of this particular recording was February 17, 1974, rather than the previously-suggested date of Feb 2, 1971. Nevertheless, this is still one of the earliest Van Morrison concerts to turn up. This concert was originally slated to be at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, but was moved at the last minute to the War Memorial Gym at the University of British Columbia.

Band Members
Van Morrison – guitars, keys, harmonica, alto saxaphone & vocals
Pete Wingfield – piano & backing vocals
Peter Van Hooke – drums & backing vocals

Notes from original uploader:

THIS is Van’s Last Live Full Show Performance that was recorded before he went on his Hiatus until 1978. He did perform the next night 11-17-74 in Sacramento, CA. at the Memorial Auditorium but no recording or setlist has surfaced yet.

A Must Have for Van the Man fans. To many Highlights. The entire show is Exceptional in Sound, Setlist and Performance from the 4 Man Van Band
