PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-highly energetic, yet respectful, audience
-Dylan in clear, albeit husky, voice
-Dylan addresses crowd in French before break: “Merci beaucoup, mon amis. Vive la
France!” For the record, Bob should have said “mes amis.”
-heavy on newer (1997 and later) songs (six from “Tempest”)
-excellent performances of “Waiting For You” and “High Water”
-venomous delivery of “Pay In Blood”
-meditative take on “Forgetful Heart”
-“Scarlet Town” as inscrutable as ever
-neat guitar work by Sexton on “Long And Wasted Years”
-terrific harp, especially on “Love Sick” and “Forgetful Heart”

-fragments from 14-Nov-2013 show not included

DISTANCE/POSITION: Left balcony 10˙; (filmer had to shoot between unknown obstructions (filmer’s hood?) on the left and right sides, but managed by zooming in on Dylan, Sexton and Herron; others rarely seen except during pre-encore and final bows)

AUDIO: 15 excellent LB-11225 (source was 24-bits converted to 16-bit for DVD use)

STEADINESS: 9 (often shaky w/camera off target)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 13 (no obvious audience interference, but filmer had to zoom in between unknown obstructions (filmer’s hood?) on the left and right)

FOCUS: 13 (dark venue, color excellent, focus a bit soft, grainy on extreme closeups)

EDITING: cut & seriously off-target parts filled with stills

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-260:
A nice surprise this one as I had been unaware of its existence, at times very close and atmospheric but dark (of course)
Enjoy!
