COOPS2009 NOTES ON MS-107:
After a dodgy start this is quite watchable though a few tracks shame the
venue is such a shed! This film has never previously been shared from the master in correct aspect ratio.

DVDYLAN NOTES ON D555.su:
"A Watchtower Upgrade"
Offmaster video, excellent quality. With 384 kbit mpeg audio from Crystal Cat recording.

It has been reported that this was filmed by the "Two Daves." According to reliable sources, it is not known who the taper was.

DISC AUTHOR’S NOTE FOR D555.su:
Due to the fact that MS-107.msu is widescreen (16x9) aspect, and D555.su is standard (4:3) aspect, it was converted to widescreen to be compatible for this 2-cam edition.
