Recorded at the Montreux Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland, July 9, 2004 as part of the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Notes:
A Van fan from Switzerland writes: "[This is] a new VM silver bootleg, allegedly produced
in Australia, but I think it actually comes from Germany, taken from [an audience
recording]. The bootleggers actually did nothing to the recording (which is far from
perfect) and the sound is actually
worse here than on the original, bass is very heavy and distorts on occasions. Digipack,
the inner sleeve has quite a few pictures, none of them from the actual show. There's even
Candy Dulfer on one of them (and she was not in Montreux this year), whereas they
completely forgot about the great Solomon Burke, who did a great job with Van that night."
