Notes Van Morrison Winterland DVD, VLS Version

The conclave in the VLS bunker has ended, and those brave souls cloistered therein have been released. The time was deemed auspicious, and the tabulations confirmed it. Thus the happy announcement can be made of a new VLS DVD release: Van Morrison in concert at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco February 2, 1974.

Apparently pro-shot, up until now this show nevertheless has had a very limited circulation, perhaps because of the mediocre quality of the tape. Current VHS copies are rumored to originate from the Umatic of a Dylan collector, but until someone unearths a fresher tape, Van fans must make due with what is available.

We think you will be happy to have this version, carefully prepared for you by your friends on the Vanlose Stairway. Working from the same problematic source, we were able to make some modest improvements beyond the welcome addition of menus and chapters. Sound was boosted and given a bit more depth. The original had an on-screen time counter that we felt was both unsightly and distracting. It has been removed from this release. Finally, video filters were applied to sharpen the picture in places and lighten it in others.

In the end, none of that really matters for the true fans, who will be thrilled to view this archival recording. To all of you who appreciate that this is an absolute must-have, we can only say: we hope you will enjoy this show where you are as much as we have here in the bunker!
