http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/%7Ehayward/van/van.html [site closed June 24, 2008; what follows are liner notes from the "Pro" Bootleg "The Lion Roars"] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lion's Share broadcast from San Anselmo,CA is one of the great treasures prized by Morrison collectors.It is also one of the most difficult to find complete in excellent quality. The broadcast on a low power Berkeley station [ed: see notes below] limited the reception area. Even worse,the Bay Area was rocked by a winter storm on broadcast night which not only interfered but interfered in different locations at different times.For the first time on disc,the complete two set Lion's Share Show is now in excellent quality pieced together from three sources for the cleanest tape possible. The effort is well worth it for the rarities the listener is treated to. With jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi sitting in , Van opts for a looser sound and a number of unique performances. Check out the wordless scat singing on "Into The Mystic" as well as the long instrumental breaks. Van sings both the verses and scats on a one time performance of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talking" from the movie "Midnight Cowboy". The Lenny Welch classic "Since I Fell For You" received two treatments: the first Van plays it straight while the second is an extended jazzy version with Van's most impassioned singing of the night. Other unique treats are the World War II era "White Cliffs of Dover", Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin'" and a lovely version of the Johnny Mathis hit "Misty". Among the regular songs of this era, the most compelling is "Listen to the Lion" in which Van implores us to "listen to the lion inside of me". Amen. Additional information from Paul Grosso: Just for the record, the broadcast was on KPFA - it's a non-commercial station but certainly not low power. It's actually heard all over the Bay Area and has repeaters feeding their signal all the way down to Monterey. During "Hard Nose the Highway", in the early show, Van namechecks the following musicians: Brother Jack Schroer: saxophone Jeff Labes: piano Doug Messenger: guitar Marty David: bass Rick Shlosser: drums

St. Dominic's Preview These Dreams of You The Way Young Lovers Do Snow in San Anselmo Day by Day Help Me Green Listen to the Lion Warm Love Cypress Avenue Caravan

This show was ?released? in early April 2005, and it captures Van and the Caledonia Soul Band at their majestic best. This show is incomplete -- the taper notes that perhaps some superfluous beverage between the early and late shows may have distorted the science of his taping; nonetheless, what is here qualifies as a gem. Thirty-two years after its recording, the tape was resurrected from the proverbial closet and sent to a possessed Van Morrison collector, one of the ?completist? varieties who must have every show known to exist. However, this insane collector realized that he had something special on hand, and having cleared its broader distribution with the taper, is providing the opportunity for everyone to hear for himself or herself the joy of a virgin listening of an almost 32-year-old show that until recently was only a sad notation of a show once held of which no recording (apparently) existed.

Date of 5/26 may not be historically accurate. Packaging claims "Recorded live at the L.A. Troubadour, USA May 26, 1973 Bonus Tracks live in USA 1974". But Van list member Scott Evans feels it is more likely that tracks 1 - 10 are from the It's Too Late To Stop Now acetates (with tracks 1, 8 and 9 having been released on the album), and that tracks 11 - 14 were recorded at Montreux in 1974. Musicians: Violins: Nathan Ruben, Tom Helpin Cello: Terry Adams Viola: Nancy Ellis Piano: Jeff Labes Trumpet: Bill Atwood Saxaphone: Jack Schroer Guitar: John Platania Bass: David Hayes Drums: David Shaw Notes: Some, but not all of the L.A. material is available on It's Never Too Late (which is another repackaging of what is known as "The It's Too Late To Stop Now Acetates"). Bootlegged under various titles: Wild Night, Wild Night On Sunset, It's Too Late To Stop Now...

Tracks from this concert on CD only: I Paid The Price Saint Dominic's Preview Gloria [cut, Dave Fanning talking over]

LineUp : Van Morrison : Vocals John Platania - guitar Jeff Labes - keyboards Jack Schroer - saxophones Bill Atwood - trumpet David Hayes - bass Dahaud Shaar - drums Terry Adams - cello Nancy Ellis - viola Tom Halpin - violin Tim Kovatch - violin Nathan Rubin - violin The Rainbow Theatre show was first broadcasted by the BBC2 as part of the Old Grey Whistle Test on the 27 may 1974. It was aired simultaneously on stereo FM radio and on mono TV. This was one of the earliest stereo radio broadcasts, and the first simultaneous TV/radio broadcast of a "rock" concert. It was repeated on the 9 oct 1980 on BBC2 as well. ALL the previous copies that are in circulation (known as "Over The Rainbow" and "Under The Rainbow") are from the 1980 rebroadcast. "Over the Rainbow" is a bad quality stereo recording (according to the Hayward website : [Over the Rainbow] sounds as though it could've been taken straight from a notoriously bad-sounding LP). "Under the Rainbow" is better, but it's mono. What's more, they are very incomplete. "Warm Love" was only aired on the initial BBC 1974 broadcast and dropped after that from future broadcasts. "Wild Night", "I Paid the price", "Saint Dominic's Preview" and "Gloria" have never been broadcasted on BBC but only on a 1980 Dutch broadcast (WN) or on a 1974 Irish broadcast by RTE (IPTP, SDP, G). Hence, those 5 tracks seldom (or never) circulated before. Same issues with the videos/DVDs previously circulating : they all come from the 1980 repeat, have a medium to very bad image and sound quality, and all are mono. SAW did a fantastic work in researching and finding good recordings of both the original 1974 video and stereo radio broadcasts. The rare "lost" tracks were unearthed from Harm's archives. Their sound quality is much lower than the other sources, that's why they are given as "bonus". The challenge was then to remaster the sound from old audio tape sources (first generation from stereo off-air, but recorded onto low grade cassettes as most people did at the time) and to synchronise it to the video that originaly had a bad mono sound. Of course, the audio tape had a dramaticaly bad pitch and a very irregular speed, so it had to be adjusted every 30 seconds. I now know what purgatory looks like. The incomplete "Wild Night" video that came separated was then merged to the BBC source, without cutting the end of the song as it originaly was.

Much of this Rainbow show was used for Van's 1973 live LP, It's Too Late To Stop Now. This show is notable for three songs ("Moondance", "Brown Eyed Girl", and "Moonshine Whiskey") that weren't on ITLTSN or the unreleased acetates of this LP. The show was broadcast simultaneously on stereo FM radio and on BBC TV's Old Grey Whistle Test. I think this was one of the earliest stereo radio broadcasts, and the first simultaneous TV/radio broadcast of a "rock" concert. (Alan Lloyd, London, England)
