DIFFERENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS OVER D217.ms/MS-162:
-sound upgraded

included)
-different top and track menus

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-great setlist highlighted by “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and “Seven Days”
-Al Kooper sits in on organ; quite effective on “Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues” and
quite spooky on “Ballad Of A Thin Man”
-nice pedal steel by Baxter on “Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You”
-terrific performance of “John Brown” w/Jackson on banjo and Dylan’s singing and lead
acoustic highly evocative
-Dylan apparently comes in late on last verse of “Ballad Of A Thin Man” but band
adapts nicely
-wonderful take on “When I Paint My Masterpiece” with Kooper’s organ sounding like an
accordion at times
-Dylan introduces Winston Watson as being from Chicago; he’s from Tucson
-smoking hot guitar by Jackson on “Alabama Getaway”

DISTANCE/POSITION: 11-15 (center balcony) (obstructions in front forced close focus on Dylan mostly chest-up with occasional panning to other players)

AUDIO: 14 (excellent LB-6903; occasional light static)

STEADINESS: 7 (often shaky, but watchable)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 7 (bottom part of screen often obstructed)

FOCUS: 13 (excellent color and adequate light; sometimes unfocused or off-target; sometimes grainy on extreme close-ups)

EDITING: editor filled missing and shaky/obstructed/off-target parts with stills; missing and fragmentary songs not included (see setlist details)

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-162:
Not only are both [Liverpool] shows well filmed they were brilliant concerts
The band an Bob really COOK,, don't miss em.
Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies
will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out

LB NOTES FOR LB-6903:
has a tv band on d1t9 and spectral bands at 11.5k and 12.5kdrop/cut between cdrs, end of d2t5, d2t9; light static in crowd d2t7 8:02

LB NOTES FOR LB-7289 w/ref to LB-6903:
In 3-way comparison these are different recordings based on different crowd at beginning of d1t1; bootleg LB-6903 has warmest sound, then this, and then LTJ LB-6258; this is a little more echoey.
