Van Morrison to Release 1973 Live Recordings on ‘It’s Too Late to Stop Now … Volumes II, III, IV and DVD’
Van Morrison will release a new live set from the concerts that spawned his classic 1974 concert album It's Too Late to Stop Now.
The new set, titled ... It's Too Late to Stop Now ... Volumes II, III, IV & DVD, includes three CDs and one DVD culled from Morrison's May and June 1973 at Los Angeles' Troubadour, the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and London's Rainbow. It will be available on June 10.
Morrison's 1973 tour included the 11-piece Caledonia Soul Orchestra and yielded one of rock's all-time greatest live albums in It's Too Late to Stop Now, which was released with few after-the-fact overdubs. The nine-minute version of "Caravan" is a highlight of his career.
That double album, which featured 18 songs, grabbed its track listing from eight sets performed on May 23, June 29, July 23 and July 24 in California and London. The new album collects the remaining songs not included on the original 1974 album on three volumes and adds a DVD featuring the July 23 show in London – footage that aired on the BBC in the '70s.
You can see a full track listing for ... It's Too Late to Stop Now ... Volumes II, III, IV & DVD below.
In addition to the new collection, the original version of It's Too Late to Stop Now will be remastered and reissued in two-CD and two-LP sets.
