Review from Vennarucci@aol.com:
The first 20 tracks of this great new 2-CD bootleg are definitely in Van’s new jazz style, with the skillfully reworked jazz versions of his own classics. The new arrangement of “Tupelo Honey” is a masterpiece, and Van’s introductory comments to it were: “This is an old song that has been reinvented at least fifty times. This is the current version of it!”
At the start of CD 2, in the introduction to “You Don’t Know Me”, Van talks openly to the audience: “I’m sure this is all very confusing for ya… It’s got to be very confusing! How many people know, eh, half the songs we played tonight? That’s not very many! …This song we’re about to do is off the current album. …Some are from older records… And we did some from the future record… It’s not even out yet! That’s probably what’s so baffling about this!!! You win some and you lose some!”
The Man gives his excellent musicians plenty of time to show off their own stuff with many instrumental solos. For an audience recording, the sound is excellent. One side benefit of this particular recording is that during the quieter moments, you can hear a little of the enthusiastic patter from the concert goers. For me, I got a real sense of actually being there.
