Request: Van Morrison at Montreux

I’m working on a project and I need a little help. I’m trying to collect recordings of every Van Morrison performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. I’ve got most of them but I’m missing a few.

I need copies of these performances:

07/19/87
07/18/07
07/09/04 – I actually have an MP3 version of this show, but I’d love to get a FLAC copy.

If any of you have any of these shows would you please share them with me?

My goal is to create a cool mix tape of the best of his performances in Montreux, but it would be nice to be able to cull from all the shows.

Thank you.
