*Note*
I have 5 different versions of this track - some from different venues, but this one is just amazing. You have to hear it to believe it. This is the best on the planet, and saying "Thank You" is just not enough. You are greatly appreciated Mr. JTT for your countless hours of work and years of experience - contributing freely to the VM Community across the globe. Happy Holidays and a tip of the hat to you sir for making 2011 an amazing year of new brilliant VM bootlegs.
02 - Spirit - VM
From Van's Historic Performance captured to film - Live @ The Montreux Jazz Festival July 10th 1980. "VM Live at Montreux 1980 offers an intimate, yet very public glimpse into the soul of the artist. The stereo separation enhances the ambiance to an extent that you almost feel as if you were there. All in all, VM Live at Montreux 1980 is an outstanding show. Much like the man himself, these shows defy classification,,,,,,,,, but leave you utterly satisfied by virtue of the music's quiet intensity!"
