Many thanks to the taper and artworker.
Van has played San Diego 4 times but this is the first one in 47 years. This may explain why the crowd was so boisterous. Unfortunately the taper had his hands full with noisy fans around him. He attempted to quiet them down but really to no avail.
At 2 minutes in he tells them politely I came to hear Van Morrison-not you. The woman near him had to go to the bathroom before the concert started but her mate told  her to wait till 9:30 after the concert finished. This does not appear on the recording but maybe that was why she is so boisterous???
This is still a very well recorded concert with Van in fine form.
He does very nice versions of Little Village and Foreign Window early in the show. Later he does a nice version of Stoned Me. He does the best Game I’ve heard in a few years.
All in all a very good concert.
