DIFFERENCES & IMPROVEMENTS OVER D2046.dl:
-blu-ray
-24-bit audio
-authored with TEMPGENc AW 5 software

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-effective mix of songs off of “Tempest,” “Shadows In The Night” and “Fallen Angels”
with only three earlier than the 90s
-strong vocals, especially “Pay In Blood” and “Melancholy Mood”
-Sexton looking very cool with shades on
-great harp on “She Belongs To Me”
-piano a plus on “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’” and “Duquesne Whistle”
-Dylan says “… domo arigato” (“… thank you very much”) in Japanese before announcing
the intermission
-a wistful “Why Try To Change Me Now” seems that Dylan identifies with it
-“Love Sick” seems a perfect summation given the themes of the love songs on “Shadows
In The Night” and “Fallen Angels”
-“Autumn Leaves” sung with great care

DISTANCE/POSITION: 8-15 (center balcony) (effective zooming from full stage to waist up on Dylan and close ups of Sexton)

AUDIO: 15 (excellent Hide recording)

STEADINESS: 15 (quite steady with occasional camera adjustments)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 15 (virtually unobstructed)

FOCUS: 15 (excellent color, light & focus)

EDITING: Removed a title-page still that was used repeatably by the source video editor as a bridge between songs; replaced that with stills that sought to match the action; no other stills needed (see setlist details)
