Liner notes:
One of Van’s finest concert tours was the short-lived tour of America in July 1986 with his regular band augmented by a string quartet. This tour highlighted the balladic side of Van. Highlights were the poignant “Got To Get Back”, the aptly titled “Haunts of Ancient Peace” with the quartet into “Lark Ascending”, the anthemic “In The Garden”, and the gorgeous “Rave On John Donne”.

The concert was taped by a Berkeley station which put together a broadcast with narration by Huey Lewis but never aired it! Portions of this concert were later used in European broadcast remixed for the CD format. From the combined sources of the original production tape and the CD for the subsequent broadcast we present for the first time the complete concert.

To complete this release we include a short but complete Montreux broadcast featuring a rousing “Troubadors” and the hypnotic “Angielou”.

Finally, we include another great mid-80’s original as well as a heartbreaking cover of Ray Charles’ classic “What Would I Do”.

Sounding in the Clouds (bootleg CD)
Living Legend Records LLRCD-126
(Released 1991 by Multi Coloured Music, Italy; bar code 4-013971-001262)

The liner notes claim “Recorded live, Berkeley, California, March 17, 1985”, but see notes below.

Additional information from Arthur Siegel:
Both Sounding in the Clouds and St. Patrick’s Day are presumably taken from a commercial broadcast that included the previously unavailable professional recording of Van at the Greek Theatre 7/25/86, doing a show with a reconstituted version of the Caledonia Soul Orchestra.

See additional notes with the Discography entry for St. Patrick’s Day.
Tracks 10 & 11 on this bootleg are from The Band’s The Last Waltz.
