Like D1153.br, this is very, very good, so a 5-star rating seems appropriate despite the negative mentioned below. The sound is consistently great, and the filmer's zooming and panning make for an interesting watch. Dylan was again in fine voice on this last night of the 2014 Tokyo run, and the crowd responded with spirited enthusiasm, especially on "Pay In Blood.". The filmer's position is a bit higher up in the balcony than on D1153.br and the focus is somewhat softer. The setlist is identical except for "Waiting For You" in the 5th slot instead of "Blind Willie McTell." Also, while the first song, "Things Have Changed," is missing on D1153.br, it's intact here.

The primary negative is that the disc author chose to use a still menu shot (see screenshot 1) to replace the missing first song and the same still as a bridge between songs. It's unclear if the bridge was used because video was missing between songs, but, in that case, alternate stills or even movie clips might have been used to make viewing more interesting.

Whatever the case, we're fortunate to have this work and are grateful to DhyanDipa for sharing the blu-ray sources.
