Stirling Castle (13-Jul-01)

With the Crystal Cat sound upgrade, this item approaches it's full potential. Dylan's vocal performance is riveting, and his supporting players provide energetic support (no dirty looks or sarcasm at Larry's expense, as happened the night before in Liverpool). The standout songs to my ears and eyes were, "Visions of Johanna," "Not Dark Yet," and "Gotta Serve Somebody," especially the harp solo on the latter. Another noteworthy feature of this video is the capture of the applause at the end of "Blowin' in the Wind." Check it out to see what I mean.

While the shakiness, obstructions, clips and cuts required a fair amount of editing and use of stills, the excellent audio source and Dylan's performance make this item a "must-have" as far as I'm concerned, hence, '5 Stars.'
