IMPROVEMENTS OVER & DIFFERENCES FROM D440:
-sound upgraded
-split show into 2 DVDs for higher bitrate
-filled gaps between songs with fills for smoother transitions
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-"Heartland" w/Willy Nelson & Sons
-Willy's son's (Michael?) lead on "Heartland"
-searing leads by Larry on "Highway 61" and "Summer Days," though you never see him
-interesting arrangement of "Moonlight"
-Stu also pulls out a cool lead on "Summer Days"
-Elana Fremerman's Bob Will's-style fiddle on "Floater"
-"Mad Dog" Tommy Morrongiello's guest guitar or "Summer Days"
-powerful "Hollis Brown" and "Hard Rain"
-nice to see so much of Stu, but not so nice not to see much of Larry,
-Bob's 'dancing' during "Honest With Me"
-plenty of tasty harp
DISTANCE/POSITION: 8➛15 (Right floor 50˙ in the right-field stands behind what looks like a porta-potty/slight left tilt; effective zooming but panning limited due to far right position; camera mostly on Dylan with plenty of Stu; others rarely seen)
AUDIO: 15 (stellar recording)
STEADINESS: 14 (mostly steady)
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 14 (mostly unobstructed)
FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT: 14 (color and light quite good/focus a little on the soft side; close-ups test camera's capacity for sharpness)
EDITING: Original author of D440 apparently edited a VHS or dv tape and paused between songs to prepare each one individually, thus leaving gaps and sound drops at the end of songs and VCR time stamps when play resumed; author of D440.su used stills to fill the gaps and most of the shots of the tape counter caused by the pauses.
Special thanks for the video to AN UNIDENTIFIED TAPER & MARKITOS.
Additional thanks for the audio to TRAVELIN' MAN RECORDS (TAPER F) & BLINDWILLY.
