The Rainbow Theatre show was first broadcast by the BBC2 as part of the Old Grey Whistle Test on the May 27th 1974. It was aired simultaneously on stereo FM radio and on mono TV. This was one of the earliest stereo radio broadcasts, and the first simultaneous TV/radio broadcast of a "rock" concert. It was repeated on the October 9th, 1980 on BBC2. ALL the previous copies that are in circulation (known as "Over The Rainbow" and "Under The Rainbow") are from the 1980 rebroadcast.
"Over the Rainbow" is a bad quality stereo recording (according to the Hayward website: [Over the Rainbow] sounds as though it could've been taken straight from a notoriously bad-sounding LP). "Under the Rainbow" is better, but it's mono.
What's more, they are very incomplete. "Warm Love" was only aired on the initial BBC 1974 broadcast and dropped after that from future broadcasts. "Wild Night", "I Paid The Price", "Saint Dominic's Preview" and "Gloria" have never been broadcast on BBC but only on a 1980 Dutch broadcast (WN) and on a 1974 Irish broadcast by RTE (IPTP, SDP, G). Hence, those 5 tracks seldom (or never) circulated before.
Same issues with the videos/DVDs previously circulating; they all come from the 1980 repeat, have a medium to very bad image and sound quality, and all are mono.
Certain individals did a fantastic work in researching and finding good recordings of both the original 1974 video and stereo radio broadcasts. The rare "lost" tracks were unearthed from a renowned collector's archives. Their sound quality is much lower than the other sources, that's why they are given as "bonus" tracks.
Other notes: Much of this Rainbow show was used for Van's 1973 live LP, It's Too Late To Stop Now. This show is notable for three songs ("Moondance", "Brown Eyed Girl", and "Moonshine Whiskey") that weren't on ITLTSN or the unreleased acetates of this LP.
The show was broadcast simultaneously on stereo FM radio and on BBC TV's Old Grey Whistle Test. I think this was one of the earliest stereo radio broadcasts, and the first simultaneous TV/radio broadcast of a "rock" concert.

Big thank you for this from your original FM requester. I have the '4 eyed freak' dvd of the first 12 trax which accompanies this, the audio on it is lossy AC3 (101 MB) though, it didn't seem strange at the time as I had assumed it to be from a digital rebroadcast.
Kind regards from London
Another Van the Man from 1973... wow!!! Thx
Wonderful, could not be more appreciated
So outstanding! I appreciate this so much. Dave, you rock!!
Thank you so much. Can anyone authoritatively explain which tracks on "It's Too Late To Stop Now" come from The Troubadour and which come from The Rainbow [the re- release added 'Brown Eyed Girl'. Trainspotters, you are needed! And while we are at it... all the out- takes, demos, etc. that were bonus/ extras in the re- release campaign? I would gladly buy them if they were commercially available... but, I can't find them. And the "Astral Weeks" DVD which was commercially pulled... why?GFS
thanks for another great show!!!!
Wow. another one I didn't know was around.
I don't know how to thank you other than to say "Thank you, most sincerely!"
Thanks for all the Van this week.
