DVD PRODUCTION NOTES:
Audio and video assets edited in iMovie 6.0.3; authored, multiplexed and burned to VIDEO_TS folder in iDVD 7.1.2 (Professional Quality 2-pass variable bit rate encoding)
ADDITIONAL COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-160/D699.m: Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all. These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.
ADDITIONAL EDITING NOTES:
MS-160/D699.m is more complete than D699, which used blank frames to fill clips & cuts.
MS-034/D950.m afforded good close-ups, but was of limited use doe to unsteadiness and obstructions.
Bonus tracks “I Want You” and “All Along The Watchtower” on D699 not included.
ADDITIONAL LB NOTES FOR LB-7196:
bittorrent download 02/09; same recording as LB-1032, LB-1277, and LB-1912 based on same clapping wavs at end of d2t6; similar wav and spectral view and levels to LB-1032 and LB-1912; this does not have all the flaws on those; excellent sound [A]
drop/cut end of d2t4, d2t5
cut before encore
I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way.
ADDITIONAL LB NOTES FOR LB-11787 WITH REFERENCE TO LB-7196: in 3-way comparison these are different recordings based on different crowd at end of t1; ltd LB-7196 has fullest warmest sound, then this, and then LB-5335 is much narrower and harsher sound; excellent sound [A] _______________________________________________

DIFFERENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS OVER D358.msu/MS-159.msu:
-missing and obstructed parts filled, where possible, with clips from the alternate camera
-different top and track menus
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-yet another solid show from the 1995 European Spring tour, but not as well-filmed as
some of the others
-first “Where Teardrops Fall” since Kingston, May 30, 1990
-Dylan sings several songs sans guitar, center stage
-another great acoustic set highlighted by Jackson’s acoustic guitar & Baxter’s
mandolin & dobro; the highlight is “Gates Of Eden” with very cool acoustic guitar
from Dylan
-great, sustained harp, on “Mr. Tambourine Man” & “Boots Of Spanish Leather”
-enthusiastic crowd response to “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat” and sings along on
choruses of “It Ain’t Me, Babe”
DASH-F RATING FOR MAIN CAMERA (MS-160) (MS-034 affords good close-up shots of Dylan, but, is shakier and more obstructed than MS-160):
DISTANCE/POSITION: 8-12 (right balcony 10˙) Panning limited by bodies on left and right. Camera mostly fixed on Dylan knees to waist-up with other players seen when camera zooms out or when near Dylan.
AUDIO: 15 (excellent LB-7196) (some static near end of “Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues,” during “All Along The Watchtower” and during “To Ramona”) (had cuts before encores that were filled with extracted audio from the video soundtrack)
STEADINESS: 8 (addition of MS-034 footage kicks this rating up a notch from 7 to 8)
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 8 (addition of MS-034 footage kicks this rating up from 7 to 8)
FOCUS: 11 (good color & and mostly adequate light; focus goes in and out due to obstructions and darkness when house lights are dimmed)
EDITING: editor filled numerous missing and obstructed parts with stills and clips from the alternate camera where possible (see setlist details)
Concert #659 of The Never-Ending Tour
Bob Dylan (vocal, acoustic & electric guitar, harp)
Bucky Baxter (pedal steel guitar, electric lap steel guitar, dobro, mandolin)
