As for the performance, the fact that it's from 1974 should tell you all you need to know. Morrison was on fire in concert during that era. Here's what Wikipedia had to say about a live album he recorded a year earlier: "Frequently named as one of the best live albums ever, 'It's Too Late to
Stop Now' was recorded during what has often been said to be the singer's
greatest phase as a live performer." He was still in that groove in 1974.
This is from an FM radio broadcast. One can tell by the introduction by a DJ named Tom Donahue. No doubt, that explains the sound quality. I made a few subtle audio editing tricks to improve the sound quality a little more.
Also, most versions of this bootleg have appeared without the last song, "Gloria." But I managed to track that down from a different source of the same show and add it in.
In terms of song selection, this is pretty similar to "It's Too Late to Stop Now" and some other live stuff I've posted from him from this time period. But see above about how he was at his performing peak around this time. Note that this concert took place a few months before the release of his 1974 album "Veedon Fleece," so there are no songs here from that.
This album is an hour and 16 minutes long.

The cover is from a 1974 concert, but I don't know the details.
Many, many thanks.
