Audio is better than some recent upgrades, thus it should get a '5' for sound.
Steadiness is worse and obstructions greater than previously noted, thus a '3' for those categories.
DISC D203
SOUND Excellent throughout
IMAGE Film is 90% accomplished camerawork, marred only by periodic visits to the roof and all around (most extensively in You Go Your Way and then Silvio). Shot from left-side balcony, spotty when on full zoom but mostly good pics, if a touch faded. See plenty of everybody - Larry at this point had been in the band less than three weeks, but already looking (and playing!) the part.
RUNNING TIME The concert as presented runs 96 minutes. First song of the night - Down In The Flood - is missing altogether. Shooting Star is extensively cut such that, though we hear a nice two and a half minute play-out, the whole of the lyric is gone. A few words are snipped off the front of Devil and a few notes but no words off the start of Thin Man. The disc also includes 6:40 “bonus” footage comprising a snippet of Forever Young then all of RDW, both the same versions as just seen, but this time with audio running about three seconds ahead of video - most bizarre.
PERFORMANCE Okay
HIGHLIGHTS (1) Pretty Peggy-O (2) You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere (3) a fiery Thin Man
COMMENT Larry adds nice violin to Devil and Bucky’s T Man dobro recalls ‘95 glory days of yore.
THANKS VP
STARS Four
