COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-265:
Quite outta the blue the surviving member of the "Two Daves" team found another (small) box of their films and generously has sent them to me, so the Masters Series goes a little further. Heres the second one another worthy one as you'll see, all these extra shows date from 88/9
This is the last (for a while) there may be 1 or 2 more if the problems with them can be rectified.
As I have said before my aim here is to place these things on line in the best quality I can find.
None of these have ever been posted direct from the master tapes and in HD quality before.
So - Enjoy - the Caretaker

DIFFERENCES/IMPROVEMENTS OVER FROM MS-262/D816.ms:
-sound upgraded
-cuts & obstructed parts filled with stills
-different title and track menus
-all on one DVD
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-high energy show, especially Dylan’s singing and Smith’s guitar
-fairly routine setlist except for “The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest”
-some new lyrics on “You're A Big Girl Now”
-Dylan breaks string on “Like A Rolling Stone”
DISTANCE/POSITION: 8 Left balcony 50˙ (camera fixed on Dylan with good views of Smith and Aronson; Parker unseen
AUDIO: 12 (very good sound; upgrade source runs faster than video soundtrack so had to be reduced by 0.75%
STEADINESS: 10 (relatively steady until “Like A Rolling” and the encores)
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 10 (obstructed on left, relatively unobstructed until “Like A Rolling” and the encores)
FOCUS: 11 (good color light and focus for an early N.E.T recording; tracking static probably due to transfer and/or age of source tape)
EDITING: cut & obstructed parts filled with stills; sync problems fixed with speed reduction of upgrade source and brief cuts and stills
