CONTRAST WITH DUAL-LAYER EDITION:
-iMovie file not re-encoded in production
-better video and sound quality
-added a "Beginning Set 2" chapter
-final two chapters combined into a "Band Formation & Credits" chapter
-fine-tuned a/v sync and chapter markers in a few places
-added 30:20 still for off-target stretch of "Scarlet Town"
-two frames additional length
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-lots of missing/off-target footage in need of stills, especially the 1st five songs
-Dylan starts with the wrong harp on "She Belongs To Me" but quickly switches
-Moving performances of "Workingman's Blues #2" and "Forgetful Heart"
DISTANCE/POSITION: 8 → 14 (filmed from upper right balcony; late arriving audience members were a problem; security was tight so camera had to come down between songs; not much panning, but effective zooming giving close-ups of Dylan
AUDIO: 15 (excellent Bt recording)
STEADINESS: 12 (see "Distance/Position" above)
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 12 (see "Distance/Position" above)
FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT: 13 (focus quite good/colors excellent/lowly lit stage)
