Comments from the original uploader: During this period, Georgie Fame — on Hammond Organ and backing vocals –was a tremendously influential presence in Van Morrison’s band; however, Georgie Was not present for this particular show. As a result, the timbre of this show is different, and perhaps owing to Georgie’s absence, the band stretches itself. Additionally, James Hunter
is on hand, and Van is in — by his standards — a garrulous mood.

This looks reeeal nice, thanks Mat!
Yet to hear any of the shows with James Hunter. I remember
his debut LP well, “People Gonna Talk”. Not earth shattering
perhaps, but very enjoyable. He has a great voice.
Great sound on this one too.
Wonderful, life-affirmin’ music here 🙂 Thanks for this share, Mat! Nice sound too.
Thanks fer sharing!
More Van here:-
This might well be a good upgrade because it will
probably be his own personal taping from broadcast…
The old Bottom Line boot I have has very rough sound.
Can’t download it myself yet, so I don’t know.

Good spot Tony, his recs are always good but unfortunately he uses Rapidgator (sucks for free users, much patience needed folks!)
He also posted his rec of the Roxy ’79 WB Music Show here

Yeah, I’m a big Heads fan and he’s got some great stuff
in that dept.
This Van could well be a very worthwhile grab… first to try
it pls report back !
Well the roxy 79 sounds great, bottom line 78 next in q
sorry. forgot actually grabbed part 1 of the ’78 last night – you’ll definitely want it – crisp and dynamic. All his FMs seem to be EX, grabbed the Nils the other day, realy good also.
ps several good Van sets in mp3 here

shame about the lossy but i’ll grab ’em for the park with gratitiude
Big news on the 78 then, sounds like a good upgrade.
And Belfast, 88, in FM quality – sounds good, that had
definitely passed me by.
What else stands out from that list do you think?
Tony I believe thay are all AUDs
I’m starting with the 80s shows, particularly the 86 87 No Guru_Poetic Champions era
