coops2009 notes on D674.m (Masters Series 039)
Transferred from the original camera a National Panasonic Super-VHS NVS-85B camcorder to a LG DRT389H in HQ mode using a super-vhs transfer cable. The disc then menued and prepared in TempgenC Authoring works 4
A very nice short one here, that could do with a sound upgrade which would make it excellent in my opinion.

LB notes on LB-6338:
legendary taper J, Sennheiser MKE 2002 -> portable DATrecorder - clone ->(digital transfer) m-audio delta audiophile 2496-> Wavelab -> ssrc -> Wavelab, levels raised -> cdwave, tracking -> tlh bittorrent download 08/08; in 4-way comparison these are different recordings based on different crowd at end of d1t9; NTI LB-6327 is the warmest, then LTD LB-5159, then this, then bootleg Never Mind the Bollocks; NTI LB-6327 seemed too warm on the muffled side; this and bootleg Never Mind the Bollocks had fuller sound than those; this seemed to have best balance of sound; excellent sound [A]


Nothing wrong here. Excellent camera work from far left. Another of the 'Masters Series' sources, clear, crisp, good colors, steady camera work...
The audio is fine. The authoring and sync are very well done, right on the money, subtle and effective edits...
Very business like, focused, performance by Dylan and his band.
Highlights include Baby Blue,
A top shelf fan made product.
Thanks to the tapers, author, and the artist currently known as Bob Dylan.
