PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-‘Willin’ a rare treat
-“Man Of Constant Sorrow” a joy to hear and reminiscent of the take on Dylan’s first album
-fiery performance of “Joey”
-lots of tasty harp
-Dylan quite chatty (below is “Bob Talk” from Olaf’s Yearly Chronicles)
—Anybody here have woken up drunk today? OK. Does anybody know this feeling? Anyway, this
one's special for you. (after Man Of Constant Sorrow).
—-Anybody here from New York? New York City? (after The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll).
—-Thank you! That song's about my neighborhood and my childhood dreams, and my childhood -
here. Is this guitar not too heavy? How much does that guitar weigh? (after Joey)

DISTANCE/POSITION:
D2062: 9 -> 11 (Left Floor 20˙) Filmer centers on Dylan despite rather heavy traffic, but does occasionally pan to other players
D039.su: 11 -> 14 (Left Balcony 30˙) Filmer has advantageous position so zooming and panning were possible and used effectively

JC (soundtrack of D2062): 12 (B+) (muffled audience echo, but Dylan’s voice high in mix)
LB-8938 (probably the soundtrack of D039.su): 13 (A-)
Uncirculating audio: used only to fill 16 seconds of the introduction

STEADINESS:

D039.su: 14 (filmer relatively unencumbered by heads and obstructions)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS:
D2062: 9 (floor position presented head and body obstructions)
D039.su: 14 (filmer relatively unencumbered by heads and obstructions)
