LB NOTES FOR LB-2305:
excellent sound [A]
version "a", from the Christian Behrens master audience excellent sound; same as previous version except without the big noise at end of d1t15; this is same recording as bootleg LB-0119 based on same clapping at end of d1t1 with channels switched; in comparison that one is harsher and less full sound (reported that cb did not tape the London shows):

Additional author/filmer's notes:
Back in '87, cameras were still in their infancy. I was not sure whether it was a passing fad. Then I discovered it was possible to RENT a camera from "Radio Rentals" so with 2 like-minded mates we proposed to do just that. The camera was MASSIVE the batteries were almost a foot long an weighed about 4lbs each and only lasted 40 mins! I rented 3. Getting the gear in was going to be quite a challenge. Some amazing things were tried. In the end it was decided to put the camera in a shoulder bag with a long strap, one of us would put the bag on our back and go in wearing a cloak! "K" looked like a weird hunchback, but it worked; however the weight of the camera pulled the strap so tight round his neck that he was almost strangled! The batteries were taped to our legs which meant we were walking like cripples! Night one (14th) we cased the place an took nothing in. But the next night we were there... Now I had never used this camera before apart from a brief fiddle at home. I did not know it had a macro facility. So when I started to film the macro was "on" which stopped me focusing in!! It took to Thin man to discover and correct the error. But we got the whole show. I will never forget the feeling of elation when we left the Arena later! I think it's maybe that that keeps me involved all this time later. Its not a great film, but its watchable and it was the first I was involved in. We tried the same method on the 16th but got stopped going in. But, we were there again on the 17th. My helpers were J and K. J is still a mate, but less involved. K and I worked together for a few years till he discovered women! Maybe a story for another day.


This is another item that's technically a '4' rating. However, a '5' is merited on the basis of the wonderful setlist, Dylan's spirited performance, and the participation of George Harrison and Roger McGuinn during the encore. That's a 'must-have' if ever there was one.

2 -> 3+/5/4-/4+/4-
5 -> 9/14/10/12/10 (avg. 12.00 B+)
Right balcony 70˙

PAL

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-Back up band not too shabby, especially Benmont Tench on keyboards, Mike Campbell on lead guitar, and Tom Petty on vocal accompaniment
-Roger McGuinn & George Harrison join on encores
-terrific setlist, includes a rare "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine"
-dynamic performance from Dylan especially on "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" and "Go Down Moses"

DISTANCE/POSITION: ranges from 5 to 9 (Right balcony 70˙); far right position affords shots of all band members, although gospel chorus often blocked by giant speaker; focus consistently on Dylan with Tench & Campbell in shot

AUDIO: 14 (excellent CB master/speed reduced 0.5% to match video speed); speed of upgrade had to be reduced .5% to match speed of video

STEADINESS: 10 (rough start with Song 1, but filmer gets control and maintains an admirably steady hand)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 12 (gospel chorus often blocked by giant speaker, some off-target parts, but otherwise free of heads and bodies)

FOCUS: 10 (soft focus w/good color and adequate light)

EDITING: stills used for off-target and cut parts (see setlist details); speed of upgrade had to be reduced .5% to match speed of video
