Cedar Rapids, Iowa (03-Apr-00)

no, no, no, it ain't 5, babe.
4 is enough.
Why ? not such a good show, except for a few highlights (desolation row especially), and filming is nice but i've seen just as good.

Out of all of the DVDs of Bob Dylan I've ever watched, this one has the best picture. The colors are clear and bright, and the picture is extremely steady. This taper concentrates on Bob, but often shows Larry and even the rest of the band sometimes. Musicians like myself will love this because it can be seen very clearly what the three guitarists are doing. One thing I like about this DVD is that unlike every other one I've seen, it shows the band coming onstage for the encores, which is one of my favorite parts of any show. The only complaint about this DVD is that (and this isn't even the taper's fault) somewhere in the middle of Like a Rolling Stone, a fan (whom I don't blame) suddenly gets a huge burst of energy and starts dancing right in front of the taper. During Not Fade Away he is literally jumping up and down and almost completely blocks the stage from the taper's view. The taper continues anyway. With that one exception, this is one of the best, if not the best, audience-filmed DVDs I have ever watched, and I highly recommend it to any fan of Dylan.

I really enjoyed this dvd very much. A lot of the "action" is straight ahead on Dylan. It's cool to see what he's playing (if you play guitar). Some occasional heads get in the way, but not to the point of annoyance. Great setlist and performance make this a great dvd. Not professional by any means but a great job nonetheless!
