PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-great "Barbara Allen" and acoustic numbers in general
-G.E. Smith's virtuoso guitar playing
-Kenny Aaronson's bass playing and cool-cat look
-participation of Tracy Chapman on "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"

DISTANCE/POSITION: 8 (mostly profiles, but well-framed; focus stays on Dylan/little
panning or zooming; rare view of drummer Parker, but Smith and Aaronson well represented)

AUDIO: 11 (very good LB-3950; speed corrected and re-corrected because it ran slower than the video soundtrack; a bit on the echoey side)

STEADINESS: 14 (mostly steady)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 13 (mostly unobstructed)

FOCUS: 10 (well-focused, but rather dark venue)

EDITING: Audio had to be sped up +1% and brief stills added to further correct a/v as film proceeded; stills added for other extended clipped/cut parts
