Thanks for sharing 🙂
Looks like a good boot, although it really upsets me when vinyl ends up in lossy form. Oh well, one for the mp3 player in the park anyway.
Speaking of essential Van boots, do not miss this one, the new Rattlesnake version of San Ansekmo 71. I was gonna request it from EDGE but somebody else had already done the deed.

Really looking forward to this one Mat!
And, thanks for the link DylanDave, I had missed that one.
sorry should have said – if your captcha is rejected – reload the page or they will usually just loop you around even if you then get it correct
Hey guys,
Thanks for the heads up on that 1971 Van show. Sound is top notch!
Tony
q ’em manually thru the browser, just keep rotating thru the hosts to avoid the time delays etc. I finf firefox is best browser to use for this kind of thing
I use jdownloader – copy all the links (in this case right click/copy shortcut) and jdownloader will do the rest. In the case of the TUBE 1971 show it’s only two links – of the hosters TUBE uses I would go for bitshare (1m30s wait but quite fast download) and filefactory. Go for one link from each and you’ll have it in no time! Of the others Uploaded is very slow with long waits between downloads (and it is not resumable). Rapidgator is similar but is resumable. Freakshare somewhere in the middle I think.
Ok thanks, yeah works fine straight from browser.
IDM used to be really good but now it just keeps snagging
one way or another.
On the subject of things VAN.
A great looking set from Belfast 86 (or 87) was posted a few
weeks back on g101. I couldn’t find any info online so I’m
guessing that odds on it’s a lo quality AUD. Anybody grab it?
Have any thoughts??
Sorry Mat, don’t want to seem like I’m not appreciating all the
tasty cocktails you keep serving up here at the Cafe!
By all means keep discussing killer shows that can be found elsewhere. I love it.
Especially considering I’m still having trouble with uploading anything. My in-laws were in last week so I didn’t try to post, but this week I’ve successfully gotten a couple of things uploaded but for the past two nights Zippy has crapped out before getting even one file uploaded.
Still no word back from my ISP about helping either.
But yes, please do keep up the talk, its fun to hear about what else is out there.
Oh and Dave I grabbed the Dylan disk so you can kill it.
OK, will do, is there no tech support phone No for these ISP goons?. In my experience you have to grab ’em in ‘real time’ then when they’ve made you unplug and reset a few things to no effect they are pretty much forced to give you a job No, run the line tests (incl the reset) and get back to you
Tony the Van is presumably 23 Nov 87 Belfast, I saw it but already had it stashed away. Great gig, ex setlist, nice rework of decent AUD Master tape. Anyway you can never have enough Van from ’87. I would describe it as a better than average AUD for the period and the remaster is a good job.
Tony, i would respectfully suggest that you need it. These late 87 gigs feature the same band as the Glastonvury and Hammersmith (which i was at) gigs from the summer but are very different in feel and setlist, being the Poetic Champions Compose tour. Unlike those summer gigs I don’t think there are any prof recorded boots around.
Thanks for the info… I think I do need it!
That was my interest really… late 87, prime Van and
very rare sadly. And yeah, look at the setlist
PCC what an album. He did preview some of the trax at the Hammersmith gig and thankfully we even got an FM broadcast of half a dozen highlights incl ‘The Mystery’. My first Van gig, still can’t believe he was ‘bored’ of performing with that lineup and went into the Georgie Fame ers, via the excellent chieftains stuff of course
Thanks DylanDave for mentioning That NEW 1971 show that Edge posted. Almost sounds like it’s practice for the Pacific High Studios recordings that were a couple weeks later.
My ISP is really ridiculous when it comes to contact. On their webpage the only contact method given is a little form you fill out. I’ve done this twice and not gotten a single response.
Today I get notice that my Credit Card on file is about to expire. How do I get this notice? Not by e-mail or any other electronic communications. But a postcard in the mail. Flipping snail mail from a company that exists to provide internet services. Bah!
They did put a phone number on the card so I’ll give them a buzz soon and ask about the slow down
Don’t these people know you have a blog to run?! Like I said before they are all a bunch of…….
Bruse, highly likely and the sleeve notes seem to suggest something along those lines. A classic boot but it has never sounded better. Bit surprising that Rattlesnake didn’t work on the stereo soundstage a little. It’s very L-R with all the vocal in the R channel so it’s not perfect for headphones, i’d love to hear Dr Ebbetts rework this and centre the vocals for us. Maybe Godfather or one of the others will sort it out in their inevitable follow up release
For me it’s the acoustic trax which make it really indispensable, they’re just peachy and could almost be a studio session.
Hey Dave, track 15 of that 1978 comp you just resent me seems to be messed up. Can’t get it to play on any device and nothing will convert it. Not sure if it was in the download or on your end or what. Would you mind checking it and sending just that track?
Again it is disk 3, track 15.
Sorry to be asking you to send it yet again, but I’m dying to have this whole set and to be able to post it.
No problem, sorry you are having ussues, i’ll check the wav plays etc and then stick it up ‘as is’. If it’s actually a bad rip might take a little longer as my silvers are in the loft, not a big issue, but i doubt that anyway. Do you intend to post as flac? if you give me the settings (flac level) for TLH i could try to cenvert here to test
Damn it u r correct, weird that and also weird that i haven’t noticed before. Need to be a bit careful, was ripped on a different pc with different sooftware, want it to match up with other trax, wouldn’t even notice if it was one of the xtra bonus trax
think it’s missing it’s meta data ‘header’ very annoying

Mat
Got this one lossless from elsewhere a while back. Was going to offer it up but figured it would ‘swim past’ your net at some point.
Recommended boot anyway, good post and worth the upgrade

Hey Mat, think we’ll see some Van Morrison anytime soon?

Oh, I don’t know, probably tomorrow!
I will! (Of course, the listening experience would be enhanced if a certain National League baseball team had a win or four left in it.)

Ha. I can’t help you there, but maybe I can provide the soundtrack.

ps I’m always backing the National League – ‘Designated Hitter’?? we don’t understand concepts like that over on this side of the pond – EVERYBODY bats in Cricket!! Can you provide a soundtrack which can keep me awake till 4.30/5 am. Not normally a huge issue over here as nobody gives out the baseball scores the next day, and I can resume from the point where I expired the prev night. The World Series however is different.

We are more or less settled into the new digs. There is still lots of unpacking to do and a few things to fix but its becoming home.
I bought a new gigantic external drive and I’m doing a little bit of organizing of my boots with it. Which means moving hundreds of gigs worth of music around. I’m making it a slow process and during it I’m not uploading much of anything. I still have a pretty good stock pile of stuff uploaded and not posted, but I’m slowing it down to one post a day so I don’t catch up too quick.
Just FYI.
