Excellent two camera video, clearly high quality cameras as they make the best of the low lighting on the 2016 staging which baffles lesser machines.
Audio source is also excellent.
Band and Dylan all doing a great job playing their parts.
Best video release of 2016 as of this writing, closely followed by Nap-in-Rags film of Mashantucket.
