A 1973 time capsule so electric, you'll swear you can smell the sweat and cigarettes.
This legendary performance by Van Morrison and The Caledonia Soul Orchestra was filmed at The Rainbow in London in July, 1973. Previously unissued, it stands as one of the greatest live shows by any band.
Sound
The 11-piece orchestra transforms rock into something almost sacred.
Direction
Unobtrusive '73 filmmaking that knows when to stay the hell out of the way.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 1973 performance was buried for 43 years — Morrison himself blocked its release, making its 2016 emergence feel like archaeological recovery of a lost civilization.
The Caledonia Soul Orchestra only existed for this brief 1973 period; watch the brass section's telepathy — they'd been road-tightened through months of relentless touring.
