Notes: LIVE AT THE INN OF THE BEGINNING" Bill Craven followed VTM around California in the early 70's recording Van with a portable Sony stereo recorder and a dual element mic. The results were fantastic, and the shows he caught have not been previously circulated. These shows are exciting for their quality and rareness. They are audience recordings. There are flaws and crowd noise, but they are easy to listen to and very enjoyable.

Plus 12 remarkable tracks from a previously uncirculating show from the Inn At The Beginning venue in Cotati, Calif, 16 May 1971 with an amazing setlist. Absolutely the definitive early Van set. Striking design w/ vintage color pics and design. Top notch Scorpio issue- 24K gold plated "audiophile" disks. Review by Russell Parkinson of previous bootlegs: This show was recorded live in the studio before a small audience. The band is essentially the Caledonia Soul Orchestra. This show is probably the most booted recording out there and for good reason. Van is on fire from the very start with a slow burning "Into the Mystic" which is in my books, the best version I've heard. A frantic "I've Been Working" is next. Six minutes of pure funk ending with Van whispering "you send me" to a fade out. Awesome and once again, the best version of this song there is. The small audience couldn't have believed their luck to strike Van on this sort of form. To reinforce this Van strikes out with a wonderful version of the Them song "Fridays Child" and follows it up with Elvis Presleys "Hound Dog". Van doesn't quite bring the sexual innuendo that Elvis does to this song but it rocks and is a lot of fun. Just in case the audience thinks they're at some sort of rock 'n roll show Van slows the whole thing down with a delicious "Ballerina". This is the definitive version of this great song in my book and even after eight minutes you don't want it to end. End it does but to ease the pain is a beautiful "Tupelo Honey" to take you away again. By the time the band are harmonizing "she's an angel" over and over again the eyes are closed and this listener is in heaven. A revved up "Wild Night" is next and then Van floors us all with an intense cover of Dylan's "Just Like a Woman". Van takes it right down and brings it right up again, improvises lyrics and what results is one of the greatest cover recordings ever. Van even planned to release it commercially in the mid-seventies but it never happened. Van changes tempo again and gives us a lively "Moonshine Whiskey" from the "Tupelo Honey" album. This has more punch than the album version and is another treat in night full of them. Watch them bubbles in the water! A swinging "Dead or Alive" is next. Van and Lonnie Donnegan recently performed this at one of the Brighton shows. It's a great old song and suits the mood of the show to a tee. A pretty straight forward "You're My Woman" from Tupelo Honey follows before Van rips into an up-tempo "These Dreams of You". This leads into a trio of tracks from the His Band and the Street Choir album. "Domino" is the first and the best of these. This song really rocks and at the end the tempo gets faster and faster until it reaches a frenzied climax. Again this is probably the best version of this song I've heard. Only the Montreux 1990 performance where Van integrates "The Midnight Hour" is any competition. "Call Me Up in Dreamland" and "Blue Money" are fine performances but are essentially weaker songs and don't reach the heights of "Domino". A bluesy almost honky-tonk "Bring It On Home" is next. Quite different from the slow soul of the It's Too Late To Stop Now show but still a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyable. Van finishes the show with the old classic "Buena Sera". Jeff Labes adds some delicious piano, everyone has a laugh and a good time and the show is over. Wow! RATING - ESSENTIAL!!!!! Only a couple of minor tracks from Street Choir don't rate as all time classics but they still sound fine. Everything else is great. This really should have been released commercially.
