Of course, a lot has happened since the last show. The taper is on the far right now which produces the effect that Bob seems to be looking straight at you - something I find a bit disturbing actually. However this is a cracking film, very steady and clear, though it doesn't pan to other people very often.To my ear, Dylan's voice is a bit croaky at the start but this clears up. There are noticeably more slower songs tonight, so if you want the ballads and little rock, this is the one for you.

The taper has a very good position as he films almost from the extreme right of the stage so that Dylan (as always on the far left at the piano) is captured pretty much en face. Sadly the taper doesn´t make too much of his gift - he remains fixed on Dylan in "american shot" 95% of the time so that almost no interaction with anyone of the band is captured - what makes the whole thing somewhat tiring after a while. The show itself is rather weak in comparison with others of that marvellous fall 03 tour as well, so that the DVD isn´t really essential.
One more objection: the video quality here is noticeably worse than on the "UK compilation" (D291) on which only three songs of the same recording are featured.
