We conclude with Milan-Italy-my favorite concerts of 2005 although by far not the best recorded, but the man is cooking and on fire. The absolute best version of Gloria all year!!!!! 01-Celtic Swing-2005-04-02-Aberdeen-Scotland 02-Gypsy In My Soul-2005-04-10-Swansea-Wales-Early 03-They Sold Me Out-2005-04-10-Swansea-Wales-Early 04-I'm Confessin'-2005-04-10-Swansea-Wales-Early 05-Lonely And Blue-2005-04-10-Swansea-Wales-Early 06-Precious Time-2005-04-14-London-England 07-That's Life-2005-04-14-London-England 08-See Me Through-2005-05-21-London-England 09-The Healing Game-2005-03-17-NYC-NY 10-Baby What You Want Me To Do-2005-03-17-NYC-NY 11-Star Of The County Down-2005-03-17-NYC-NY 12-Bright Side Of The Road-2005-05-14-Milan-Italy 13-Celtic New Year-2005-05-14-Milan-Italy 14-It's All Over Now, Baby Blue-2005-05-14-Milan-Italy 15-And The Healing Has Begun-2005-05-14-Milan-Italy 16-Gloria-2005-05-13-Milan-Italy Volume 4 Well we start off with some rock and roll and then Vanlose-the way he used to do it. And a great version of Domino. Then we have Young Lovers do. Then San Francisco my second favorite show of 2005, Van is on all cylinders and maybe even enjoying himself?????????? 01-Here Comes The Night-2005-09-16-Torquay-England 02-Baby Please Don't Go-2005-06-25-Petworth-England 03-Don't Start Crying Now-2005-06-25-Petworth-England 04-Vanlose Stairway-2005-06-25-Petworth-England 05-Goin' Home-2005-06-23-East Molesey-England 06-Saint James Infirmary-2005-07-06-Liverpool-England 07-Ain't That Loving You Baby-2005-07-27-San Sebastian-Spain-Late 08-Outskirts Of Town-2005-07-27-San Sebastian-Spain-Late 09-Domino-2005-07-27-San Sebastian-Spain-Late 10-The Way Young Lovers Do-2005-07-27-San Sebastian-Spain-Late 11-Sometimes We Cry-2005-06-09-San Francico-California 12-Celtic New Year-2005-06-09-San Francisco-California 13-It's All In The Game-Burning Ground-2005-06-09-San Francisco-California 14-And The Healing Has Begun-2005-06-09-San Francisco-California 15-Gloria-"Gorilla"-2005-06-09-San Francisco-California Volume 5 We start off with Lately - at least half of it is slow. We then follow with a variety of shows-all of which contain his best performances of the song in this year. Most of them he did infrequently in 2005. Get On With The Show and Long Distance Call are the only appearances. Barcelona is a strange place for a great version of Solid Ground. We finish off with great versions and sound quality of Early In The Morning, Afternoon and Help Me from Ronnie Scott's 01-Have I Told You Lately-2005-09-15-Cardiff-Wales 02-Wonderful Remark-2005-09-15-Cardiff-Wales 03-Northern Muse-Solid Ground-2005-09-24-Barcelona-Spain 04-Why Must I Always Explain-2005-07-03-Maidstone-England 05-Real Real Gone-2005-07-30-Harrogate-England 06-Outskirts Of Town-Long Distance Call-2005-07-30-Harrogate-England 07-Bring It On Home To Me-2005-09-16-Torquay-England 08-Get On With The Show-2005-10-10-Amsterdam-The Netherlands 09-Rambler's Blues-2005-10-10-Amsterdam-The Netherlands 10-Naked In The Jungle-2005-10-11-Amsterdam-The Netherlands 11-That's Life-2005-10-11-Amsterdam-The Netherlands 12-Early In The Morning-2005-10-28-London-England-Early 13-In The Afternoon-2005-10-28-London-England-Late 14-Help Me-2005-10-28-London-England Volume 6 Well our journey through 2005 comes to an end. A lot of the purists may not be happy with this bastardization of Van's shows of 2005 but my feeling is that Van's shows of the last few years have lacked a lot. sometimes he just goes through the motions for the whole show. Other times glimpses of brilliance are shown and very rarely is a whole show remarkable. I consider myself a purist also and I collect all his shows - not just FM or soundboard I think these shows are vastly over rated because the sound may be dead on-but if "He's Not Feeling It Anymore-I'm Just Giving You The Score then what is the sense to listen to him go through the motions. 01-The Way Young Lovers Do-2005-11-10-Glasgow-Scotland 02-Dead Or Alive-2005-10-30-Newry-Northern Ireland-Early 03-Did Ye Get Healed-2005-11-05-Gloucester-England 04-Raincheck-2005-11-09-Edinburgh-Scotland 05-Stranded-Don't Look Back-2005-11-18-Reading-England 06-Carrying A Torch-2005-12-02-Middlesbrough-England 07-Foggy Mountain Top-T For Texas-2005-12-13-Brecon-Wales 08-Georgia On My Mind-2005-11-04-Salisbury-England 09-Muleskinner Blues-2005-10-29-London-England-Early 10-Philosopher's Stone-2005-10-29-London-England-Late 11-Celtic New Year-The Healing Game-2005-10-29-London-England-Late 12-Celtic New Year-The Healing Game-2005-11-17-Portsmouth-England |

| Comment | Vol. 1
Many people complain about Van nowadays-myself included but there are times when he doesn't just mail in his performance. This compilation will be all about the times he is on. These nuggets are not necessarily the best recorded versions and in general are all from audience recordings. Some of them represent the only time he performed certain songs in 2005. And yes the horns are here and C & W is nowhere to be found |
