Re: How the albums were made

I haven't listened to him for a while either, & I do have stuff on CD too. I too prefer the earlier Van, & haven't seen him live for years. He played King George's Blackburn ages ago with such a young band, none of em looked above 20,can't remember if Georgie Fame was with em or not & they were transcendental. He had a woman chucked out for dancing though & insisted on the house lights being kept on! Once in Manchester I think when during the encore he marched off stage still belting it out, up the aisle past the audience & into the foyer; the crowd went mental! He's a wizard! The way he builds it up to an ecstatic crescendo is like nothing else.
But as I said before a few of my nearest & dearest present time don't feel it & this does puzzle me. It seems to be either love him/ hate him. They just think he's boring! What!
