BOB DYLAN
Plaza De Toros (Bull Ring)
Mérida, Spain
July 10, 2008
DVDylan ID #1163.su

Upper Left 20˙
4+/5-/3+/5+/2
12/13/9/15/5 (avg. 10.50 B-)
1:44:30:14
NTSC

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-kinda cool to see Dylan play in a bull ring
-Dylan in very good voice
-Dylan introduces a tenor sax player (Brian Wilson?) during band intros
-Tony sits on stool even when playing upright bass
-enthusiastic crowd singing along on "Like A Rolling Stone"
-missing two songs and substantial parts of 2 songs on Disc 2

DISTANCE/POSITION: 12 (filmer situated about 20˙ stage left from a lower seat above the crowd standing in the ring; zooms in very close and often pans left to right, so all players are given their due)

AUDIO: 13 (excellent Bach recording; crowd on the noisy side)

STEADINESS: 9 (long shots mostly steady but panning and zooming often unsteady)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 15 (virtually unobstructed)

FOCUS: 5 (faded color and focus on close-ups poor; looks like it may have been shot through some kind of filter)

EDITING: minimal editing needed on disc 1; disc 2 had two missing songs and two substantially cut songs, so stills added to make a complete concert
