Very steady, not very close. Transferred from a moderate quality tape.


As noted, this is not a top quality video source, but very easy to watch. HW has enhanced it with an excellent audio upgrade, authoring, and bonus tracks. The Bavarian cabaret 'Gotta Serve Somebody' alone is worth the price of admission here.

Each HW upgrade is a treasure, typified by seamless audio/video sync and professional quality authoring.

This is a great show, slightly downbeat, more rolling than rocking. Hard Rain, Highlands, Love Minus Zero, many nice moments.
Dylan's harp solo on Sound of Silence is timeless, and this may be the best Dylan/Simon duet segment on DVD to my mind.

Excellent work (you spoil us!) from HW. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this out and sharing it around.
