Source Notes
This is the VLS Version of the Van Morrison Winterland Show, it is not an upgrade or a remaster. It represents an audio cleaning of the original VHS files that were converted to DVD LPCM sound files and then tweaked with Audiology and Roxio Sound Wave to give the sound a much richer audio. You must remember the source and also take this for what it is on face value, a good update of an early Van classic performance. This VLS version also includes some songs that were not available on the original CDR versions of this show

FIXES
Flaws that were fixed by happy jack with audacity
flac > audacity (export as wav) > flac level 6 (by tlh)
track 01 removed dropouts at 1:37, 2:12, 2:46, 3:16, 5:04 and cleaned up some pops. there are still some problems with track
track 16 removed dropouts at 4:43, 5:06, 6:19

JTT Version

I recently had the misfortune to download the VLS version of this great show and after hearing a few minutes was prompted to dig out my excellent copy, which has no EQ, Compression or Normalizing. This is also devoid of the distortion, glitches, gaps and other faults present in the VLS version.

NOTE: Some Clicks removed or improved between 01.16 & 02.20 in Disc One, Track 01

  1. I wholeheartedly agree with Grant. I d/l yesterday and listened to the entire show today at work. Just astonishing how fresh and GOOD Van is. Try For Sleep is worth the download.
    Thanks Mat…keep ’em coming!
    Peace,
    Ken

  2. This is truly nice to see and it’s awesome. Van chews out a fan at the end of Try For Sleep. Included You Don’t Pull No Punches during Caravan.

    So then which of the two versions, this or previous post, would you suggest keeping? Or maybe just add the missing songs? Is there no improvement of quality? Thanks Mat

    Honestly to my ears they sound pretty much the same. But I don’t have great hearing and my speakers are pretty crappy so I’m not the best judge.

  6. Hi Mat and thanks for all Van,

    Van Morrison did a nice acoustic concert in 1973 for RTE Dublin. Found a good tape from my trading years, used my holiday to refresh that old tape, the new transfer is here in Flac.

    Second file is additional material from the same tape, this is from another TV-source including the interviews. Enjoy!
