Astral Weeks, Live At The Hollywood Bowl


I just got this on vinyl. First impressions are quite good. There is absolutely no information regarding the recording or mastering. I checked Van's site and couldn't find it there. Anyone know the details?

Here's pretty much complete details on this recording:

Here's an excerpt from the Paste Magazine article. I am assuming by reading this, he used an analog setup?

Paste: Did you oversee the mixing or production? And as far as the equipment, do you prefer vintage gear?

Morrison: To the present day I have always been my own producer, so everything has always been in my hands. I have always had the say. It would have been someone else’s and I do not play that. My music has a life of its own that does not take well to other people’s ideas or lack thereof.

I prefer to keep it as simple as possible. Modern day gadgets are the things as a producer that I hate, because then it’s contrived and manufactured, tweaked, the antithesis of what I am about personally and musically.
