FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT/RESOLUTION:
Cam 1: Above average. Mostly in focus w/good color. Resolution compromised on extreme close-ups.
Cam 2: Excellent except on extreme close-ups where resolution suffered a bit.

EDITING:
Clips and stills from Cam 2 were used to fill missing and obstructed parts.
The last three songs on Cam 1 weren't filmed, so Cam 2 was used to fill. The final song on Cam 2 wasn't filmed, so stills were added.

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
A dynamic performance with excellent interchange between Dylan, Larry and Bucky, especially evident on cam 1.
The crowd shots are interesting. It's a private affair, so probably not your usual Dylan fans. They seem to be enjoying themselves, though.
