Notes: The sound quality of this boot is maybe the best, indoors, that Doberman has done. A Night In Oxford begs comparison with A Night In San Francisco, starting with the title and cover. Well, as good as the sound is, "ANISF" is obviously going to win over any audience recording. "ANISF" has the guest stars and -perversely- that's one of the strengths of "Oxford" ... it doesn't. There are still at least 5 vocalists on this recording, not even counting VM, but they're members of the band. Disc 1 starts out with 5 VM solos and one gem is "Wonderful Remark," a real rarity on stage -as far as I know- at that time, and it's great. Another gem would be "Crazy Love" which Brian Kennedy starts with one of his delicate vocals, and when VM enters, it is with equal delicacy. The only sag -I think- in the evening is to follow "Crazy Love" with "Queen Of The Slipstream" (which IS nicely done by BK) and then "Beautiful Vision" (SM/BK duet). That's longer than I want Van off stage, for one thing, and "Beautiful Vision" just isn't the strongest song VM ever wrote. The vocal duties are more varied than the back cover would indicate: "Crazy Love" is really a BK/VM duet. My problem with the revue period (at the time) was that VM was the only one I wanted singing VM songs, but James Hunter sings "Jackie Wilson Said" here just as entertainingly as Van can (maybe that's heresy, but I'll stand by my statement). On the second Disc it's The Revue in full flight. Van functions at times as traffic director, in addition to being The Singer, as multiple vocalists and instrumentalists come and go ... and all very cohesively. And the band must be enjoying itself: the members are introduced on Disc 2 not once, not twice but THREE times. That's BK, of course, on "You Send Me" and he's very good. "Have I Told You Lately" starts as a Brian/Shana duet and eventually Van enters. The last piece, "The Marriage Of The Virgin" is a poem by Paul Durcan, co-writer (with Van) of "In the Days Before Rock 'n' Roll", and it's read by Michelle Rocca. She's introduced by VM, after which introduction he leaves the stage. Musicians (as introduced from the stage): Teena Lyle, Georgie Fame, Haji Ahkba, Kate St. John, James McMullen, Ronnie Johnson, Nicky Scott, Geoff Dunn, Brian Kennedy, Shana Morrison, and James Hunter.
