I don't usually like live albums. Most times the songs are just the same as the studio versions except in poorer quality. But yesterday on Soulseek I discovered this gem, a 1973 Van Morrison bootleg. I'm thinking that it must have been recorded with a view to being released as the live album which eventually was 1974's It's Too Late to Stop Now. The quality is amazing, the playing is transcendent in places and the version of Sweet Thing is one of the finest things I've ever heard.
Download it below in .zip file before it gets taken down and Van sends me to jail.
(And if you're thinking "ah man, a feckin' .zip file, so much hassle", it's worth it like you would not believe.)
