The original bootleg with "Caledonia Soul Music" "VAN THE MAN Recorded 1970/71, New York/San Francisco In 1970 Van Morrison was hot property when Moondance, his second album for Warners, became an FM radio staple. But the improvisational, elongated song form that defined Morrison’s Warners debut, Astral Weeks, still held a deep fascination. Add his esoteric belief in the ancient kingdom of Caledonia (a landmass combining Scandinavia and Scotland/Northern Ireland) as the birthplace of the blues and the epic, largely instrumental, 18-minute musical voyage “Caledonia Soul Music” was the result. Recorded during sessions for His Band And The Street Choir, a tape of the track was passed to and played several times on San Francisco KSAN radio station but left off the album. Morrison later admitted Street Choir was “a compromise… I lost control of it.” The track was released here with a live version of “Moondance” from the Fillmore West in 1970, and a 1971 Pacific High Studios radio broadcast that included a rare outing for the Them track “Friday’s Child”, a combative “Hound Dog” and a caustic, seven-minute deconstruction of Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman”.

I bought a pressing of this album - Van the Man - in Kingston, Ontario back around 1973-74. Caledonia Soul Music was certainly the highlight of the album, though Side 1 offered a hidden treasure in that it was a quality Ray Charles album (don't remember which now). No problems with Brother Ray, but I was looking forward to the 'original' Side 1.
TB Sheets is one of my all time favorites. Very talented songwriter and a great soul man. Underrated in this century. Wild night always makes me want to out and do something on a Saturday night.
No one, no one reaches the level of George Ivan Morrison. We are very lucky to live in the same era as him. The world will be a different place when he's gone
@@j.k.barber6877 You could be correct. Everybody needs to hear this on a high-end audio system e.g. ClearAudio Innovation Wood/Universal tonearm/Da Vinci V2 record player with Thiel speakers ! And, Audio Research Amps and Preamps! LoL'
Such a melodic journey through the strings of time and space!!! It's unbelievably harmonious and effortlessly scripted, more like listening to Nature. This is a gem and hands down, one of the most organic sound ever written!
Been a Van Fan since 1969 Adding this to my Road Tunes, for when I ride my bike With this song I have 80 Van Morrison tunes. Makes long distance riding a genuine pleasure..
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an incredible piece of music from a musical genius & his group. From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan. GOD bless Van Morrison.......
I grew up with my mom blasting Van's Greatest Hits with her friends in the living room and singing along, 20 years later I still cant get enough and play Van for my 2 year old!
I've been a fan of Van Morrison since I was a kid, thought I heard everything he has done until now. I just get lost in the moment with this piece of music, thank you for putting this out there ❤
Mellow as I want to be, free as it seems to be, the harmony just works on me, Music sets me free, all the Country I have ever seen, lands in Caledonia, Van Morrison singing to me, pickers picking me, this flow of what is to me, California water filling me, Headwaters fill the cup at he Sacramento, out of Mt Shasta, sunlight putting me, in this Library, loving be able to pick, this Music transforms me back to where I want to be, Van Morrison takes on the Lead, I just follow with this harmony, Being so content!
I sit outside after work, sometimes, all ragged and spent from the day. I watch the spinning stars, and I listen to this as a soundtrack to the heavens. Cannot describe the feelings I get. Thanks Van!!
I'm looking forward to the cave in the Himalayas where I'll meet with He whom knows omniscience, omnipresent and omnipotent power holds wisdom and insight. I'm loving and invited to His will sufficient enough for not only me; a multiple of the gatherings of all whom shout out " All Glory be to God.."
@culminate100 ha ha ha... Especially not from Cork! I reckon i could out talk any Irish person, cat, dog, milkman, cow, even. Leper... Midget... I'm Brazilian /Scottish /Yorkshire born and bread... I have samba, heath cliff and... The fairy fort at castle 🏰 Dunvegan on my side ⛵ yay 🔮 oh, and the Play that shall not be named!!! Hubble trubbble. Wasn't hubble the name of a space shio??
I have been listening to Van for over 50 years, this is one of my favourite Van pieces, I put this on daily and loop it, some days it plays for hours, it lifts up the spirit, glad you found it and enjoy it... Kay ( Toronto, Canada )
I really love this one - how these musicians find each-other. Sublime.. Godley :-) (Am going search for the Live Vid of this very same performance.. hope it is still in the air)
I recorded this, my favorite vanmusick, from a stereo fm broadcast on KSAN in 1972. He was living in San Anselmo, going thru a divorce and performing in these tiny venues. Saw him in San Anselmo kept his back to the audience but we came for the music, not the face. Was great.....
OMG! I was there too. Sad, so much feeling, it was like being with family-- like being with some who wanted to and did emote through his music, but was in a very vulnerable spot. The Irish soul...
50+ years ago, I had a group of singers I somewhat worshiped. Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, VanMorrison, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and some Rod Stewart. After 50 years, all dropped back except for Van Morrison, nobody compares to Van, he is music.
I had to use a youtube to mp3 converter to download this and keep it incase its ever lost, I hope everyone does this for videos that deserve to be a part of history. Thank you for uploading this all the best to you.
I've said this so many times! It is what it is....Soul Music. It transcends the human experience, that's why so many people are in awe of it. It's spiritual & as We're not Gods it's incomprehensible but leaves us mortals enraptured. It's Music!!!!
Only Van..he is a blessing to me now more than ever. Grew up with Brown Eyed Girl spinning 24-7. His music is soulful and spiritually filling. Love that he loves God. God bless you whoever may be scrolling through! Turn to Jesus for answers during this pandemic trial we are in. This is His show, trust Him 🤗 He loves you!!!!
Robert Baugher. "He doesn't want to play this music, he wants to live in it. And for a little while, he wants you there too." Beautifly said, even more so because it's true!
I just stumbled across this piece. It is just stunningly beautiful! Oh my God! I am listening to this all day long. The day after tomorrow I am going to see Van finally live! I know he isn’t going to play this treasure, but one can always hope. What a jewel! ❤️❤️❤️
I have read somewhere, where the writer said that this was not a song, I do not want to shout to loud but to me this is a song of the very finest order, how lucky are we to get to hear this tune, this mystic music, this poem, this healing most brilliant sing/tune for my favorite 1st Celtic cousin, I say to this person, stop your complaining and just listen, if it make you feel better then call it a brick wall, a fallen tree, a charging elephant or the roar a wild and free majestic African Lion roaming freely around in the wild open lands of Kisiju, Tanzania where my brother Fr Patrick works day and night and all year round, to care and provide for all the ill, poor and forgotten people of this area as best as he and others can,
SO~Entirely: Beautiful, Honest,. Open & Real!!!...emblematic of: Van, himself, in that~way!!!:)...also; emblematic of: Van's willingness to: "Flow~with~the: River, whilst; Not~pulling~any: punches"!!!:)...Many Thanks for: "posting" this: "Gem"!!!:), Peace & Blessings, to all who appreciate the "Sense of WONDER", which Van, Inspires!!!
I love almost everything Van Morrisons does. From his album Street Choir, l loved them all and listened to them over and over. One of the best musicians ever.
Wow thank you Robert! So happy to hear this. Never lets me down that Van the Man. I just got back in August from Ireland where I was able to see- hear - feel Van live in concert at the Seamus Heaney Home Place! that is how much I love - not like this about anyone else - been a lifelong thing.
I heard that was an amazing show. I was too slow to get tickets, but I'll be seeing Van again in Belfast on New Years Eve at the Stormont hotel. Got a front row table at a Dinner & Show.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight and the world's at peace... blood pressure fell.. heartbeat back down to 80..... nothing bothers me I love those 16 minutes plus
Thank you Robert for adding yet another fine work from our Van. Nobody finer, regardless of the season, emotions, time of say... all will be well. Hugs to you, Robert
Man, thanks for posting this and giving a little explanation. It's such a mellow groove. I put it on when I need to relax. But Van sounds really positive here and I think he's really encouraging his band in his own special gifted way. Just love his music, my fav artist because I love old school R&B mixed with his own background etc. Love when he says on this recording , "let's get some horns" and then immediately says to the horn player{ Brother Jack?} "you got it" . That's cool, thanks Bro, much appreciated
Well you guys are terrific just listening to the musicians I was dancing for my lady friend and my animals love it it's total Miracle this morning 6:30 in the morning Reno Nevada need to rest now 😁😎😍😘
What I don't understand is whay is it not possible to buy this masterpiece in a good quality. This piece is for me more worth than the mona lisa in paris
Because it is a "bootleg", right? I have had dozens of Van's boots over the years, when someone brings a tape device into the gig, you don't always get a pristine, polished result. But you do get this...
Might be Ronnie Montrose on mandolin. He was in the band that played at Pacific High Recorders in SF for a small audience (broadcast on FM radio in 1971). The band included Van - guitar, harmonica, vocal; Ronnie Montrose - electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin; Mark Jordan - piano, organ; Bill Church - bass;Bill Atwood - trumpet, trombone; Jack Schroer - soprano, alto, and baritone saxophones, piano; Rick Shlosser - drums, percussion; Ellen Schroer - vocals; Janet Morrison - vocals.
AllMusic Review by J.P. Ollio Van Morrison's live concert at the Pacific High Studio in 1971 has turned up on numerous bootlegs, most notably the Van the Man LP. The two-disc Into the Mystic boasts clear sound, a killer set list, and one essential bonus track. Always an erratic live performer, Morrison appears relaxed on this set, belting out early R&B classics and songs from his initial Warner Brothers records. A cover of "Hound Dog" opens with Morrison reciting the lyrics to "Que Sera Sera." Later, he introduces Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" as "a rendition of somebody else's tune." The concert's apex is a riveting performance of Them's "Friday's Child" -- piano and guitar build to a crescendo at each refrain while the rhythm section pounds away. The CD's final cut is a long instrumental piece entitled "Caledonia Soul Music." An outtake from the His Band and Street Choir sessions, this winding 16-minute track may be reason enough to seek out this disc, a truly transcendent recording. Fans of Morrison should put Into the Mystic at the top of their wish lists.

No one, no one reaches the level of George Ivan Morrison. We are very lucky to live in the same era as him. The world will be a different place when he's gone
If there is or ever was a better "ditty" than Caledonia Soul, I would believe I had met the Lord... "Makes me feel so good"
Van Morrison- the greatest musical poet, performer, and troubadour.
He is one in a billion; his musical proverbs will be played on Mars and beyond.
i think this inspires the best reason for man to go to mars...to deliver a sound system with this recording...and then come home

Indeed!
Must be nice to be Van with a good glow on playing along with some of the most talented people in the world....listening..and meditating.
Into the mystic has been one of my favorites since a child, born in 71, still listening today! Absolutely essential music for this time of awakening!
Some of the sweetest, most soulful notes ever plucked from the air...
ik heb mijn raam open voor frissen lucht en de music hard maar dragelijk en dan luister ik naar deze music! biertje erbij en genieten van music! tanks
Only Van Morrison can make a 16 minute song and when it ends you wish it would have lasted longer.

AllMusic Review by J.P. Ollio
Van Morrison's live concert at the Pacific High Studio in 1971 has turned up on numerous bootlegs, most notably the Van the Man LP. The two-disc Into the Mystic boasts clear sound, a killer set list, and one essential bonus track. Always an erratic live performer, Morrison appears relaxed on this set, belting out early R&B classics and songs from his initial Warner Brothers records. A cover of "Hound Dog" opens with Morrison reciting the lyrics to "Que Sera Sera." Later, he introduces Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" as "a rendition of somebody else's tune." The concert's apex is a riveting performance of Them's "Friday's Child" -- piano and guitar build to a crescendo at each refrain while the rhythm section pounds away. The CD's final cut is a long instrumental piece entitled "Caledonia Soul Music." An outtake from the His Band and Street Choir sessions, this winding 16-minute track may be reason enough to seek out this disc, a truly transcendent recording. Fans of Morrison should put Into the Mystic at the top of their wish lists.
If this is from the Street Choir sessions, then it's John Platania on mandolin. Van calls out his name at 6 minutes in.
the acoustic guitar solos, are they Van or Ronnie Montrose's?
Love details thankyou
