This one gets off to a shaky start with "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," but is essentially complete with no need for patching until the end of "All Along The Watchtower" and into "Jolene." In between, we have some excellent footage enhanced by stellar soomlos audio. Dylan gives a solid performance, with "Mississippi," "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll," "Ballad Of Hollis Brown," and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" the most compelling performances to my ears and eyes. (Mississippi" can be checked out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pNSbUlaioQ)

The filmer did his usual excellent job of framing the picture, with adept panning and plenty of zooming to show Dylan's face up close. Most shots are from the waist up, primarily because the camera had to be aimed above the lip of the balcony. So, if you're a "Dancing With The Stars" scout, don't look for any fancy footwork from Mr. Dylan on this one.

We now have a good representation of the 2011 shows in the DVDylan catalog, and this one is among the very best with respect to technical quality, performance and completeness. A trifecta that can only amount to:

5 Shining Stars.
