Ray Charles Live In Londen (1996)

In June 1996 Van Morrison and Ray Charles were on a tour that brought them to the Wembley Arena in London, on 15 and 19 June, the Nynex Arena in Manchester (June 21), the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham (23) and the Arena in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (24).
A very, very poor recording, taped from the audience, of the second Wembley concert is circulating on the Web.
The only, purely documentary, value of this bootleg is in I Believe To My Soul, where Van joined Ray on stage, bringing back Them memories.
