DISTANCE/POSITION:
Position from the left balcony or rear of venue. Filmer zooms in and stays close on Dylan. Lots of shots of Dylan interacting with his band save Kemper, who is never seen.

AUDIO:
Excellent. No echo, cuts, or clipping. Might run a bit faster than video soundtrack, hence need for occasional brief video cuts.

STEADINESS: Mostly steady.

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS:
Occasional bodies pass in front of the camera, but no heads.

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT/RESOLUTION:
Rarely out of focus with good color and resolution. Oddly, color and resolution are best on the close-ups.

EDITING:
Missing/obstructed parts were filled with stills. Very brief cuts were made to audio for a/v sync.

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
A dynamic performance. Dylan's guitar skills showcased on the acoustic numbers.
