DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
First gaining recognition as the lead singer of the Northern Irish collective Them, and writing their seminal 1964 hit ‘Gloria’, when Van Morrison began pursuing his own career in the late 1960s, he started a long journey down one of the most idiosyncratic musical paths in history. His synthesis of folk, blues, jazz, and Celtic influences remains utterly unique.

Many live performances by Van have been made over the course of Morrison's career, but none is more celebrated nor captures Morrison in better form than the live broadcast presented here. Recorded before an intimate audience of 200 at Pacific High Recording Studios and broadcast on KSAN radio shortly before the release of the "Tupelo Honey" album.

This is Van Morrison at the top of his game, delivering a set fuelled with unbridled passion. With no trace of the nervousness nor the anger that occasionally marred his concert performances during the era and with his sense of humour so prominent, it is no wonder that this recording has achieved such legendary status among Morrison's fans and collectors. In addition to the Pacific High set, this new two-instalment set also include Van’s performance from the year previous at Bill Graham’s legendary Fillmore West venue, recorded for broadcast on April 26th 1970.
