Date and Program Notes: Televised as a Rockpalast Special; The correct date for the Van show is Sunday April 4. The Rockpalast Night where this show was taken from started on April 3 around 11:00 pm with Rick James. Van played the second set and this was around 1:00 am on April 4. Therefore date of the actual show started on April 3 (in the late evening) and ended on April 4 (in the early morning). The broadcast date was the following evening April 4. Most of the Rockpalast shows are broadcast the date following the actual show. Hence the show was played over the 3rd and 4th of April 1982. It was broadcast live across Europe on April 4, 1982 that evening. This is why this show sometimes circulates as April 3 , 1982
Rolf Wolf's Remaster Notes: My friend Manfred startet in the end of the last year to transfer some of his old analog rockpalast recordings on harddisc. He used for the transfer a professional Studer 807, Nakamichi HiCom II and a Terratec EWX 24/96 soundcard for A/D converting in very high 24bit quality. He burnded this ( very big ) 24bit WAV on a DVD-R and send it to me. So we had made all digital steps in 24bit and dithering only one time in 16bit.
My part was a (small) sound optimizing, fade ins/outs, to fixed trackmarker and dithering in 16bit/44.1KHz. Software of cource the good old WavLab and for dithering the Apogee UV22HR PlugIn.
This Van show was recorded from FM with a revox reel and a Revox tuner in April 1982. The sound quality is very good. This show is one of my favorite VM shows. Especially "summertime in england" is in my opinion the best version, I've ever hearded.
I had this show a few years ago remastered, but Manfred has now a much better anaglog equipment and so we have to try to make a better sound quality in 24bit.
PLEASE NOTE
This was recorded and remastered in the orignal 24 bit wav. When all was done it was at the end of the process (last step) that it was dithered to 16 bit and compressed to shn. so this will burn to cd with no problems if you want to.
ALSO NOTE
These SHN files do not have all the loud pops on track 15 between the 1:00 minute thru 2:00 minute mark. They are present on all other Bootlegs
This show is also known to circulate in other Bootleg versions such as "Live In Essen" by Golden Stars (GSCD-1105, released 1990) and "Can You Feel The Silence" by Great Dane (GDR 8919)

Yes!!!!!! I do!!!!!
Thanks a million for all yo do in this excellent blog.
Thank you again for some amazing van.
Please post as much as you wish to post. Your generosity is most appreciated!
This is so cool - thanks Dave for your GREAT blog. I've been trying to find a FLAC version of this ever since I read this interesting book by Clinton Heylin, "Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry" (have any of y'all read this? would be fun reading for this group!)
http://www.amazon.com/Bootleg-Secret-History-Recording-Industry/dp/0312142897
In it, Heylin rhapsodizes about this boot in particular. I've had it in 192 bitrate MP3s but this is a real treat to have the full-res deal.
Thanks and I hope you can keep the Van boots coming - cheers.
p.s. I see this is actually SHN files, even though I said FLAC, but same difference -- either one is full-res.
This one was definitely on my 'essential later period Van Boots' list. Right up there with the magnificent Montreux 84 and Berkeley 86 FMs. Even if Van is a little perplexed to be playing a german 'Rock' festival. As usual Dave you also appear to have located the best source for us all.
Big thanks as always!!
much more van to come at least 1 per week
wonderful news!!
Knowing your liking for Pink Floyd, I believe that Van covered their "Comfortably Numb" at the Kenwood House, London show in 2008 which I gather is doing the rounds at the moment.
This is a real pleasure -- wonderful show - please keep the Van music coming Dave - cheers mate!!
Hi
Can somenone tell me how to convert the shn-files
thanks
Frank
You can decode both shn and flac files using foobar ehich is a free program which you should be able to find easily enough.
Thanks yet again Dave, great post....
