Review:
The sound is gorgeous -- and so is the performance! You'll find
a swinging Van in very good mood, and well as his winning team of
musicians including Georgie Fame, Pee Wee Ellis, Haji Ahkba, and Brian
Kennedy. Whether inspired by the venue or the Dutch summer air, Van and
his band clearly delivered the goods at this show!

Tree administration for this tree was by the guest admininstrator for VLS, Mr.
Peter Sellers.
