15 SEP 91 : Penyrheol Theatre, Gorseinon, Wales
Received on 2 CDRs from the taper who transcribed his complete cassettes.
To hard drive with EAC. Edited for continuous flow in Adobe Audition : edited at beginning and end. Cassette turnovers and subsequent edits audible at
Normalised and nothing else. Flaced with TLH to level 6

This is the third recording to be sent to dime from a series Iíve called The Lost Welsh Masters. Practically every Van show in and around Wales from the 80s onwards was recorded by one diligent taper. [At present the equipment used is unknown]. Many have never been circulated, and in the case of one show from Bristol in 1992, the date itself was unknown to us.

This uncirculated show was recorded two days after the last one, but, as we know with Van, this is a very different beast – looser and with lots of improvising and flowing vocals. Tremendous See Me Through (with Soldier Of Fortune beginning to form) and A Town Called Paradise. The band respond magnificently to everything he throws at them ñ this collection of multi-instrumentalists under Ronnie was certainly one of his very best combos. Pretty similar track list with one or two notable exceptions with the debut of By His Grace and Professional Jealousy. Band intros during Moondance.

Where’s Morris?
Received on 2 CDRs from Graf Ritmo who transcribed his complete cassettes.
To hard drive with EAC. Edited for continuous flow in Adobe Audition : edited at beginning and end. Cassette turnovers and consequent edits audible at 38m and 1h 22m. Normalised and nothing else. Flacced with TLH to level 6.
This is the fifth recording to be sent to dime from a series Iíve called The Lost Welsh Masters. Practically every Van show in and around Wales from the 80s onwards was recorded by one diligent taper, Graf Ritmo. Many have never been circulated ñ this is one of them.
Highlights ñ a rare outing for Fatís Valley Of Tears which was eventually an outtake from the Back On Top reissue; the first performance of Nina Simoneís Since I Fell For You since 1974 (and what a cracking version); and an extended guitar intro to Youth Of 1,000 Summers. Something upset Van and he cut the show short. Shame.
