It's Too Late To Stop Now
Volume I

Description
Often cited as one of the best live albums ever made, Van Morrison's original ..IT'S TOO LATE TO STOP NOW... has been remastered in 24-bit high resolution sound and will be available in 2CD.

Morrison's highly acclaimed 1973 concert album was compiled from eight sets of live performances--recorded at The Troubadour, the Santa Monica Civic Center and The Rainbow Theatre--and was notably free of any post-performance overdubs or studios "fixes". returns to those original performances, first captured on two-inch 16-track analog tapes, and, through the mastery of noted engineer Guy Massey, puts the contemporary listener in the enviable position of being sonically present at each venue.

"I am getting more into performing," said Van Morrison in 1973, during his tour with his newly-formed Caledonia Soul Orchestra. "It's incredible…. All of a sudden I felt like 'you're back into performing' and it just happened like that…. A lot of times in the past I've done gigs and it was rough to get through them. But now the combination seems to be right and it's been clicking a lot.“

Not my fave Van live album but there are a lot of great moments.

I'm sure I will get the 3 CD/DVD.

According to Wiki, one of the shows at the Rainbow in London (7/24/73) was simulcast on BBC radio and television. This may be the source for the DVD

One of my favorite live albums of all time! I'm very curious to see what is on the other discs.

Can't wait to see what's on the expanded version. Knowing me I'll buy both. With these and the Kristofferson set, this is looking to be a very expensive day.

I think Van was at the top of his game here.
I'm excited for this.

Track listing is now up at Amazon. Looks pretty great! I'm all over this!

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

I'm in for the big one (queue jokes from Alan and Chris)

The tracklist for the 4-disc set has been brought into the first post of our thread, now.

PeterJ · 16 May 2007

The re-issue of what is now volume 1 included "Brown Eyed Girl." I assume that it is now on volume 2. I'm also mildly disappointed that the DVD only has nine songs.

Regardless, I'm still in for this!

RB59 · 24 Jun 2011

This looks fantastic, to me!

Bump: Added the product description for the 4-disc box to the first post, including recording dates and locations.

My take is the box set does not include the original release...which is a separate stand alone. So depending on if it is a new remaster...one may opt out and get the box which is all new material. That works for me.

Rokin Robin of Locksley · 20 Oct 2007

20 songs on Vols II, III, & IV not on Vol 1...

Good enough for me. Just pre-ordered.

June is shaping up to be a monster month for music.

True enough. I've already been in to see the owner of my indie and he'll have it for me on the 6th or 7th. I can't wait!
