AUDIO:
Very good/excellent recording. Runs slower than the video soundtrack so speed correction was necessary for this project.

Above average. Unsteadiness mostly between songs when camera is lowered and raised.

Mostly unobstructed.
Filmer lowered camera between songs.

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT/RESOLUTION:
Above average.
Mostly in focus w/good color.
Resolution compromised on extreme close-ups.

EDITING:
Speed correction was needed to sync the upgrade source up to the video. In addition, periodic 10-20 frame cuts were made to achieve a/v sync.
Stills were used to fill missing and obstructed parts.
The last three songs weren't filmed and were added as audio-only menu items.

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
A dynamic performance with excellent interchange between Dylan, Larry and Bucky.
The crowd shots are interesting. It's a private affair, so probably not your usual Dylan fans. They seem to be enjoying themselves, though.
