  1. This is recommended… if it’s the same version I already
    have. Good quality SBD and Van sounds like he’s in
    a good mood.
    Cheerful vibes, very enjoyable.

  5. Yeah, but like Bob at times the man can be real grumpy and still produce real magic on stage.

    I also enjoy the Van and Bob shows where they are in a more gregarious mood. However they are not always the best shows. Well at any rate it is not a prerequisite for a good performance.

    Hard to chuckle your way thru ‘John Donne’!!

  6. Tis true, tis true. But at least a happy Van is less likely to storm off the stage and cut the show short.

  7. Yes, I have it in lossless, and ditto for a few other shows
    recently posted… eg Bruce Nassau 80…
    Problem is – I have a rubbish connection and uploading
    seems a lot more intensive/slower/expensive of
    allowance/etc than d/loading even !!

    Plus: I lack all of Mat’s generosity !! (that’s not a joke btw).

    SO can anybody offer advice on feasible uploading via
    pay as you go 100 kbps type connections

  8. As a post script

    I’ve often thought that in an ideal world, rather than Mat
    meeting re-up requests, somebody else who grabbed it
    previously uploads it. But then I know that’s “ideal world”
    stuff, and more to the point, a bit hypocritical coming
    from me (and my connection)…….

  9. You could always snail mail them to me 😉

    Slow connections suck for that sort of thing. I always appreciate it when folks send me stuff, but its not required. I’m just happy sharing all this great music.

    That rare and precious jewel, an ’86 show in FLAC

    Thanks Mat

    Hard to find better renditions of Vanlose, Rimbaud and the Healing Has Begun. Been loving this man’s music since I got my first radio in 1954.

I thought that was a little early to have been hearing Van on the radio
