van morrison's best sounding album?

so far i've listened to "toO long in exile". love lonely avenue. what album is "caravan" on? that totally smokes on the last waltz dvd. it sure is funny to watch that lovable gnome kick up his stubby legs towards the end of that song. what's up his his outfit? thankfully his musical taste far exceeds his fashion sense.

'Caravan' is on Moondance. Coincidentally, I was going to suggest Moondance as perhaps the most accessible album for a Van newbie; I love too many of them to suggest one as the best sounding. Although, I do think the recent 'What's Wrong With This Picture' is up there amongst the best recorded, best engineered...it's the one I take to audition new equipment...

veedon fleece is a sleeper, very underappreciated, possibly his best

First Them album. His heart's in the right place, but I can't tolerate his voice at all anymore.

my van-idiot just loaned me a bootleg from a 97 or 98 show in germany. there's a song, "vanlose stairway" where van seems to go off into a groove/trance. where can i find more of that?
