Recorded live at Pacific High Studios, Marin, CA, September 5, 1971. Soundboard recording.

Notes from Ron_Wyly@cofo.edu:
I believe "Caledonia Soul Music" is not live but a studio outtake. The playing time of the song is listed on this CD as 16:21. For years I've had a vinyl bootleg called Van the Man (note: not the bootleg CD of the same name) which also has "Caledonia Soul Music" on it, but its playing time is a little over 18 minutes. It's clearly the same performance on both the CD and the vinyl, but the CD version, besides having better sound, does sound "speeded up" compared to the vinyl boot. Does anyone know which recording might be the one that's the accurate speed?

By the way, new Van fans will eventually want to hear this track; it's not much like anything else Van has ever done, being a 16-18 minute tune that's mostly an instrumental. It never gets dull and also shows Van-and-band's talent for shifts in dynamics (fast/slow; loud/soft) within the same performance. I hope the tune is officially released someday, maybe as part of the boxed set.
