I'm giving this one a one-thumb-up, primarily on the strength of the excellent Crystal Cat used for the sound upgrade. Despite the gallant efforts of our generous filmers, the video sources leave much to be desired, D646.m for shakiness and obstruction and three missing songs, D985 for 12 missing songs. Disk 1 is the most complete because songs 3-7 from D985 are used to supplement the deficient parts of D646.m.

The standout songs in my opinion are "Mississippi" (see here: http://youtu.be/YckV4Tk5cJU) and "John Brown." Unfortunately, the rare live performance of "Waiting For You" is missing from both sources, but slideshows are used to preserve the audio. The same is done for the missing "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Summer Days."

Both sources are shot from the right side of the venue, with both cameras focused primarily on Dylan and Donnie. Tony, Stu and George are rarely seen, except in long shots. The oft-maligned Denny is never seen, although he is heard, adding some impressive lead to the mix.

So, let's call it a 4-minus, rounded up to 4 Stars.
