COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-092:
Third show, and Bob’s in spectacular voice; nice setlist and an excellent video. The band are well on. I always felt that Bob never really exploited the musicianship here enough. The taper is in a great positions; we get a clear and crisp view. You need this one.
LB NOTES FOR LB-6338:
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]
I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way.

DIFFERENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS OVER D1068/MS-092:
-sound upgraded
-filled missing parts with stills
-different top and track menus
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-wildly enthusiastic crowd; Dylan responds with an energetic performance
-unfortunately, no harp
-scintillating leads by Campbell, especially on “Silvio” and “Highway 61 Revisited”
-fine performance of “Stone Walls And Steel Bars” with cool country harmonies by
Campbell & Baxter
-nifty guitar work by Dylan and Campbell on “Tangled Up In Blue”
-convincing takes on “This Wheel’s On Fire” and “My Back Pages”
-Dylan quite animated during “Highway 61 Revisited” perhaps due to the scintillating
lead by Campbell
-crowd sings along on choruses of “Like A Rolling Stone” & “My Back Pages”
-a very special “My Back Pages”
-great pedal steel by Baxter on “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35”
DISTANCE/POSITION: 9-15 (Left balcony 30˙) (mostly unimpeded vantage point except for first two songs of Disc 2; filmer keeps camera on Dylan, zooming in while singing and out when not singing to show other players; Garnier often in the picture, Campbell mostly seen during zoom outs; Baxter seen several times, and Kemper hardly at all; lots of extreme close-ups)
AUDIO: 15 (superlative LB-6338) (sounds like a pro job)
STEADINESS: 13 (occasionally jittery, but generally strong command , even during breaks between songs)
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 12 (virtually unobstructed except for a few passing bodies, the long stretch to end of “It's All Over Now, Baby Blue” and the first two songs of Disc 2)
FOCUS: 14 (fine video quality with rich colors, good light, and mostly sharp focus except on extreme close-ups)
EDITING: an relatively easy job for the editor with the missing or obstructed parts filled with stills (see description in setlist details)
