This is probably my favorite boot of all time (which is saying a lot!!!) by anyone – and the version here of Caravan might be my favorite single live performance ever.

But to possibly hear a couple of different versions of it – I am looking forward to hearing this!

Thanks Mat!

My apologies. Into the Mystic is included. I updated the source on this but did a bad job of getting all the text info input into this post correctly. I believe an earlier source was missing Into the Mystic, but it should be there in all sources now.

One little note. My files on this show have gotten mixed up a bit. I’m pretty sure what I’ve posted is the 4Eyed Freak remaster, but I’m not 100% sure. If someone has a copy of it already and can do a comparison to what I just posted I’d appreciate it. Or if you have better ears than mine and can examine the show I posted previously to this copy and cannot tell a difference let me know.

Thank you for these tapes! I can’t compare your files with others of this show. But for sure: your files sound very good!

Thanks Matt. This adds 2 songs to the early show (Into the Mystic & Tupelo Honey) that were missing from your previous post. Plus the 2 bonus songs (from SNL). the Late Show looks the same.
It’s great to hear Peter Wolf do the intro on the early show.
Thanks! Bruce

Bruce, thanks for pointing out that the two bonus tracks are from Van’s Saturday Night Live appearance!

thanks Grant. Also, the late show is at 320 bit; the previous version I had was at 192.
So, thanks for that Mat.

Correct, and the download contains artwork, different from the one displayed here, of a 2cd set containing both the early and late show.

Sorry gang. Should be fixed now. I got in a hurry this morning and wasn’t paying attention. Before I post anything I always do a quick search on my blog to see if I’ve posted the same show before. This one had been posted before so I just copy and pasted from the old notes not remembering that this was a different version.

Thanks for all the effort that you put into this..If only there were more hours in a day..i would really feed my music addiction then.

Mat Brewster says:
October 3, 2016 at 4:50 am Edit

I hear ya. I have way more music than I can ever listen to, but its rare a day doesn’t go by that I’m not grabbing more. Truth be told if it weren’t for this blog I’d probably be satisfied by now and just spend my days listening, but I feel this obsessive need to keep posting new stuff here so I keep downloading.

Not that I’m complaining. I love doing this. Its tons of fun bringing new music to my readers.

Lovely stuff. Yeah the FM (WNEW) broadcast of the late show. I thought I had multiple versions of this. in fact I had only the excellent ‘hansdevente’ private master he posted on G101 a few years back. Certainly had lots of traded tape copies back in the day.

So the early show is still missing. Would be great to grab, especially if the 4 E Freak (restored and complete) version could be located. Would be nice to hear those SNL trax too.

I’ll leave that thought with you Mat. I know you would be as keen as any of us anyway if it does ever pop up anywhere.

On another, but related note. There was a FM broadcast of Van on BBC Radio 2 last thursday (29th sept). An hour I think. Keep waiting for it to appear on the boards somewhere. Couldn’t record it myself as i wasn’t around and my FM reception is bl**dy awful anyway. Gotta be worth tracking down.

Any sightings (or recordings) anybody??

It appears there was an early show and late show of Bottom Line, 1978. This one with Peter Wolf introduction is listed as the early show. My statements in earlier post reference the late show.

Mat Brewster says:

September 6, 2012 at 2:31 pm

Thanks for the info Bruce. If you want to send those four additional tracks to me for posting that would be awesome.

Neil thanks for letting me know. It appears that I am completely missing that track. I’ll notate it above. Sorry about that.

This is one of the best Van boots!

Does anyone have “Into the Mystic” track from the early show that they can send to Mat to include? Thanks,
