NOTE: There are several DVDs in the DVDylan.com catalog bearing the number D123 despite their being from different camera sources. See the individual DVDs for notes on the lineage.

DIFFERENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS OVER D123.msu/MS-156.msu:
-filled stills with movie clips from MS-024 where possible
-different top and track menus

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-like the other Spring 1995 European shows, Dylan and the band were
stellar
-another tender & moving acoustic set highlighted by Jackson’s acoustic guitar &
Baxter’s mandolin & dobro
-raw, muscular take on “It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry”
-Dylan sings first two songs & two acoustic songs sans guitar center stage
-Dylan sings the “laughing’ spinning’ verse (#3) of “Mr. Tambourine Man”
-a very dignified performance of “Dignity”

DISTANCE/POSITION: 14 & 13 (left balcony 40˙ and right floor 30˙) (both cameras mostly on Dylan, waist to chest up, with some zoom outs; pans restricted due to bodies blocking camera, but good shots of Watson behind Dylan are afforded; few sustained clear shots of other players)

AUDIO: 15 (excellent LB-6999 for all except brief stretches of for LB-1615 used to replace static at start and during “Maggie’s Farm”)

STEADINESS: 8 & 7 (both cams rather shaky due to restricted window available between bodies; right balcony shot shakier)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 7 & 8 (both cameras have numerous obstructions restricted window; right balcony shot less obstructed)

FOCUS: 12 (both cameras very good color/light; focus somewhat grainy, particularly on close-ups; right balcony shot has better focus)

EDITING: missing last three songs and other parts of D123.msu filled w/clips from MS-024/D992 where possible/otherwise, stills from D123.msu left untouched; static at start of LB-6999 filled with LB-1615 (see setlist details)

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-156:
Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-024:
Well here we are again. This is a continuation of my retired friends original films
Most have been around before but never taken from the Master recording as these are and in many cases not complete as here. All were transferred from the original camera
a National Panasonic Super-VHS NVS-85B camcorder.

ADDITIONAL LB NOTES FOR LB-6999:
cuts in audience noise
short enoise in intro, Maggie's Farm
I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way

ADDITIONAL LB NOTES FOR LB-1615:
low levels; excellent sound; (very close version in eac compare bittorrented 4/05);
(a bittorrent from 06/09 is a close eac match on d1t1 but had additional flaws of drops at beginning of d1t2 and d2t2; described as "It was seeded last summer here or at STG.
