A pretty excellent video recording that suffers from one detail - the position of the taper. One can almost feel his disappointment when the show started and he had to realize that he "only" sees Dylan´s backside (though there´s also some right profile left). Of course it´s pretty intense and "intimate" what we see then. The focus is on Dylan throughout (again this proves to be not the very best attempt to capture the overall atmosphere on stage), with George somehow wedged behind him (see screenshots), which gives an overall bizarre image. The sound quality of the recording isn´t the best either (rather muddy and unprecise). Anyway, the show is good, but certainly not one of the most spirited of that great european tour in fall 03. "Desolation Row" and "Honest with Me" qualify as highlights, though.
