Notes:
Howard A. DeWitt in his 1983 book "Van Morrison: The Mystic Music", described it (p.72) as the "Best live Van Morrison concert broadcast over radio". Label information reads "KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR. VAN MORRISON. For broadcast week of January 28-February 3,1991. DIR Radio Network. Legal information and copyright DIR Broadcasting 1991" Click here to view a JPEG of the liner sheet which accompanied this CD. Art Seigel notes that "the show has been pressed on CD by King Biscuit a number of times. My copy is for broadcast the week of 9-18-89 to 9-24-89 and is DIR 6EU0200A. The ads are different, as is some of the promotional stuff, but the music is identical."
