Additional information from Arthur Siegel:
Both Sounding in the Clouds and St. Patrick's Day are presumably taken from a commercial broadcast that included the previously unavailable professional recording of Van at the Greek Theatre, doing a show with a reconstituted version of the Caledonia Soul Orchestra. The commercial broadcast mixed these tracks up with tracks from It's Too Late To Stop Now and Last Waltz. The commercial broadcast, which aired 3/17/89, was distributed on CD to radio stations, and I've seen those for sale for $100-$200. The boots attempt to pick out the Greek Theatre stuff, but some mistakes were made.

In summary: all tracks from 7/25/86 Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA, except CD1, tracks 3-5, 8; and CD2, track 1 (which are from It's Too Late To Stop Now), and CD2, Tracks 4&5 (from The Band's The Last Waltz).

Note that the "Haunts" track [track 10 on CD1] also includes the instrumental "Lark Ascending", though it is not noted on the label.
