4+/5/5-/5+/5- (main camera)

Right balcony 40˙ (main camera)
Left balcony 50˙ (filler camera)
2:32:07:09

NOTE: The editor used the right balcony camera source (VS 2) except in cases where there were cuts, in which case the previously-uncirculated left balcony source (VS 1) was used. D1139 used the previously-uncirculated left balcony source as the main camera with the right balcony source used for filler.

Differences from D190/D190.su
-significantly better video source
-better audio source
-little need for stills due to 2nd video source used for fills

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-Dylan's comments about NYC in the band intros
-Dylan's two jokes about Kemper in the band intros
-overall great performance and setlist (see reviews at boblinks)

DISTANCE/POSITION: 12 (effective panning and zooming)

AUDIO: 13 (excellent; no harshness as with the audio used for D1139 (LB-1265 xref-00704) and no cuts between songs as with audio used for D190.su (LB-11312).

STEADINESS: 13 (mostly tripod steady/goes off-target occasionally)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 15 (no obstructions)

FOCUS: 13 (very good color and resolution)

EDITING: Probably due to the length of the concert, the source video and audio editors cut applause, even between songs on one audio source; this necessitated some video and audio fills as detailed in the set last details; since there were two video sources, one from the left balcony and one from the right balcony, the editor was able to use video clips rather than stills to fill missing/obstructed parts.
