5 stars for devestating material.
We are so lucky to have video and audio documents of this performance available. To have them in this quality, and together, is quite a gift.
certainly not the best quality Europe 95 video, a bit shakey, obstructions at times, not crystal clear focus, some tracks suffer from clips of about 20 seconds to the intro.
stellar audience stealth audio, but beware of the pair of artifacts jarred me out of a trance during an otherwise near perfect mr. tambourine man.
"HW Sound Upgrade" means you get the top quality authoring and audio/video sync every time.
in my experience all shortcomings i found were well overshadowed by the performances. must mentions t-man and boots, are both flawless and full of feeling. just very deep stuff all through, from the Crash...his Boys are well up to it. everyone is excited, everyone knows it's a special night. Dylan rocks and sways, picks up the guitar once for a killer take on Watching the River that has Jackson laughing in suprise and delight, then back to the voice and harp. I like how close to the 'right' melodies Dylan hits often this night, and again, devestating vocals throughout.
too bad it's incomplete, but then again, so what? one of the best performances i've seen on dvd from this very fruitful season, beautifully preserved on DVD9, first one in our catalog. Extensive, high quality, otherwise unavailable early NET bonuses.
Thanks to all tapers/filmers and dvdylan.community.
Thank you Bob Dylan
