Notes:
In the last week of March of 1974, Van Morrison returned to Ireland to play a series of sold-out concerts at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. Shackled with a flu virus, Van slogged through the first shows of the gig. His strength returned, however, on March 30th, and he took the stage for an inspired and elevated performance. That show is presented here for the first time and anchors Vol. 2 of the Millenial Tree: The 70's. Also represented is a 3-song guest spot of Van with Eric Clapton, a guitar rock version of "Gloria" from 1978 and a disco-leaning "I've Been Working" from Scotland in 1979. The same show featured the first-ever appearance of Van with the Chieftains for a surprising encore of "Rolling Hills" long before the Irish Heartbeat tour of late '87 and '88.

Van Tree Policy:
Please respect the efforts and the wishes of the dedicated bands of volunteers who put countless hours of time and energy into producing and treeing these rare live performances: please do not offer any of these tree volumes for sale.
