thanks for posting, i listened to both 09 DC shows and enjoyed them greatly. this night was the better of the two. Both recordings are audience, both about 90 minutes. The first night got a few more songs, but Van was more into it on the second night with good improv, especially in Slim Slow Slider. Slim Slow Slider had a whole extra set of lyrics i hadn’t heard before (although this is only the fourth Astral Weeks show I’ve heard) with lines like “railway carriage” and “get you through the day”. Anybody know other versions like this?
Makes me want to hear more. A lady at the end of the show is heard saying “Is that it?”. That Was It.
Thanks for this Mat!!
