This is a fresh rip from my silver CD using Exact Audio Copy (EAC) on the most strenuous mode. EAC log files made contemporaneously with the rip are included together with .ffp & .md5 checksums and the correct metadata has been added to all tracks. Also, all CD artwork was scanned in high resolution (3 scans total).

The bootleg label “Live & Alive” seem to think that the more you remaster and alter the sound, the better it sounds… I’ve got an ELO bootleg released by this company and it sounds just as weird as this one. This boot has a couple of tracks that have been officially released, but according to TTD policy this one should be allowed.

LINEAGE: SBD -> Original Silver Pressed Bootleg -> Exact Audio Copy (EAC) -> WAV -> Trader’s Little Helper (TLH) -> FLAC (Level 6)

Berkeley ’79 was Van’s second King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast in less than a year. Collectors are familiar with 1978’s Bottom Line, but this lesser known performance surpasses its predecessor. Berkeley boasts the brilliant pairing of Mark Isham and Pee Wee Ellis on horns, honky-tonk piano, and the man himself in top-notch form.

Considered by some to be Van’s seminal work, the superb album Into The Music is well represented here. Along with Pee Wee and Mark, the band includes fellow ITM alumni Toni Marcus and Herbie Armstrong. Katie Kissoon, always so in tune with Van on vocals, shines throughout. Along with some highly enjoyable reworking of older tunes, the set list features some of the most celebratory music of Vanís career. “You Make Me Feel So Free” lives up to its title, and a rollicking “Bright Side Of The Road” will make you want to get up and dance. But the highlight of the disc is the soul-searing (and relatively rare) rendition of “Angeliou”.

Volume Eight delivers excitement from the opening bars of “Kingdom Hall” to the final fading notes of “Wild Night”. We believe it’s an absolute must for any fan of this era.
