Review from Brian Heffler:
Back cover In my opinion, this is one of the best sounding 70’s CD Boots I have ever heard. Moreover, the B&W Photo graphics on the covers are excellent.
Notes from Art Siegel:
This boot seems to be straight from the [out of print] Van Morrison In Ireland commercial video.
If this really is Belfast in 1979, then according to setlist.com it is either from February 20 or 21

This is a audio rip from the official live video. I think it’s a mix from two shows : Whitla Hall, Belfast; February 20, 1979, and
National Stadium, Dublin, Eire; February 22, 1979.
It’s short but some great version of Gloria, Cypress Avenue, Saint Dominic’s Preview.
One of my favorites to listen to.
I’ve tried to download this one a few times, to compare it to the version I have, it downloads with about 103MB but when I unzip, it shows as empty. anyone else have this issue?
Really looking forward to this one Mat – possibly my favorite live year of Van shows ever, along with ’78. Thanks!
Bruce, I had the same issue. It downloads, but is an empty ZIP. I hope you can re-up perhaps Mat – thanks!
Weird. Yep I’ll reupload tonight.
It may have to do with the question marks in the filename. Winrar would not process it, but 7zip did.
Wow, that worked like a charm, Dan!
Mat, this is an incredible Van boot – would you happen to also have it in FLAC that you could post please? Thanks as always!
Oh good so you got it to work Grant?
Sorry but I don’t have this in FLAC. If I find it I’ll surely upload it.
I did get it to work, using 7-zip. Thanks Mat!
I had to download 7-zip in order to get it to work too.
Many apologies to everyone who had to upload 7-zip to get it working. Thanks to Dan for finding the solution. I’ll try to remember not to allow question marks in my file names.
Great post!
Another example of why Midnight Cafe is one of the best music blogs that survives on the net.
Thanks to Mat B and a blessing to his family

Thanks for the Van, excellent stuff!
Hello Bruce,
I really want this boot. But the ZIP doesn’t work correct. There are diagnostic messages for every file: the filename is incorrect. Can toy fix it?
Thanks a lot!
A little off topic, but there’s a great DVD download of Van in Montreux 1997. About 85 minutes and excellent sound and quality.

Identical track listing (though variation on track lengths) to the 1 Feb 79 Belfast concert available on Wolfgang’s

Looks like the vid s-track to me. Have to see how it compares to my own amateur audio transfer, or the others i’ve heard over the years. Essential stuff in both vid and audio, really should watch it again and mark the sources for each track. The two gigs are clearly identifiiable on the film but there is nothing to identify each venue from memory. Someone who remembers the venues, seating etc prob could. I guess you could then compare them to the wolfgang’s post if it is truly belfast. Trouble is I think the wolfgangs from mem is just another version of this. Track timings will in any case vary. VHS recorders run at different speeds and also people release pause at different point etc. To my knowledge these tracks (or vids) have never been formally or officially digitized.
