TAPER'S NOTES
My second time seeing Bob Dylan. I thought it was even better than the other show I saw in 2012. The sound was good and while it wasn't very loud, the crowd remained quiet.

I also filmed the whole show from my seat with a mini tripod between my legs. The venue was enforcing a 'no photography or mobile phone use' policy. There was a security guard 3 seats to my left, but I managed to keep the camera hidden with a hoodie bunched up on my knee. This meant I couldn't monitor the video screen very much; usually the only time I could check the frame was when captain security was busting someone with a cell phone nearby. The video has some nice moments but is inconsistent.
