Here’s another of my favorites. This one re-mastered in 2001 by the legendary Wolf. I’m not sure of the linage but it sounds like a SB or FM to me. The first song of the concert was not included in the recording. (Moondance) (inst.). Please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m just in this to share what I have.
Enjoy, twofthrs

SHN converted to FLAC by The Midnight Cafe using xACT. August 2020. New md5 file created.

SOURCE: DATA DVD (FLACS)
CDDA Test shows Tracks to be between 42/43% CDDA. Most probable cause for this is a DAT Transfer
somewhere in the linage using 32 kHz at 16 bits instead of 44.1 or 48 kHZ. This has ocurred on
some Dylan Bootlegs and they become mistaken as Lossy.
If I had any doubt that this recording was Lossless I can assure you it would not be in my collection.

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.
This is one of my favorites. I ripped it from youtube a while back. Looking forward to upgrade. Thanks!
More Van 86 – got to be good news, nice selection of ‘No Guru’ trax on this one
I’m not sure if it was my download or the file but several of the songs were messed up. A couple of the songs are cut or drop off early or wouldn’t load up.
You can hear the whole show on Youtube, i ripped it using AVS software. It’s one of the best.
I love that we qualify Van shows by what mood he seems to be in 😉
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’!!
Tis true, tis true. But at least a happy Van is less likely to storm off the stage and cut the show short.
Sounds a great show, but Track 1 is cut short, Track 4 is missing, Track 5 is very short as is Track 13 and Track 11 won’t play at all.
Am still very grateful for this show, and it may just be me with a problem with the foregoing, but…
Neil
Sorry, Bruce complained about that too and I forgot to look into it. I’ll give my version a spin tonight and see if I encounter the same problem.
Ok, I’m having all the same problems on my files too. Apologies all around.
I didn’t want my comments to sound like a complaint, I appreciate your site and the shows you post. This is a Excellent show (top 10) and I was happy to see it here since I had not seen it anywhere else except for youtube. It’s too bad that 4-5 songs are messed up on the file. I could send you the version that I have if I could figure out how to get it to you. Thanks as always. Bruce
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
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)…….
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.
I just sent you an email.

Hi Mat,
I also have this one in lossless. If you’re interested on it, send me an e-mail and I will send you the links.

@LAPIEDRA52
lossless please!! it would be most appreciated. I don’t want to get on to my nagging horse about ’86 shows usually circulating in mp3 only, but lossless always seems to be rare for this tour.
Mat has a link for a very small but very rare ’86 treat i sent him recently. He might send you the link as a thank you. I can’t post it here.
This tour and the equally essential Tom Waits Raindogs tour have the ‘mp3 only curse’. Where the hell are the lossless files??

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
