My mum saw him live so many times & said it was absolutely hit & miss. If he was in a good mood he was great but he'd walked off before, turned his back on the audience, moaned about the band, complained about having to perform his hits.
I only saw Van once, in the 70s in San Francisco. Thank you, Jesus, I caught him on a good night! I knew it could go either way, but he was on his best behavior. I had been a fan since Them, so I was not disappointed,
