| Another Candidate For Best Live Rock Album Ever
Yup, that'd be Van The Man's 1974 release, It's Too Late To Stop Now. With his Caledonia Soul Orchestra, Van reached back to his soul & blues roots to dazzle the crowds. There are NO overdubs or other post concert "fixes." What you hear is what was played. Warners had plans for this being a triple album (thus the tri-fold cover?), but decided against it. These songs would've been included: Young Lovers Do, Purple Heather, Come Running, Sweet Thing, Blue Money, Green, and Wild Night. Big reissue in 2008, with a complete shows from each venue on audio and one live Rainbow concert DVD. |
