DIFFERENCES & IMPROVEMENTS OVER PREVIOUS EDITIONS:
-sound upgraded master video files
-filled clipped/cut parts of previous editions with stills and audio
-richer color and better light

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-Fine vocals throughout (tender "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" and wicked "Seeing The Real You At Last"
-Roger McGuinn and Ron Wood on encores
-McGuinn explains false start of "Chimes Of Freedom"
-excellent piano work by Benmont Tench
-alternate lyrics to "Gotta Serve Somebody"
-Great harp on "Shelter From The Storm" and "Forever Young"

DISTANCE/POSITION: 14 (left floor 10˙ exclusively waist-up on Dylan with very few views of other players/singers) (Filmer did a great job keeping focus on stage despite being in the middle of a rowdy crowd)

AUDIO: 13 (excellent LTB recording; ran a bit faster than the video soundtrack so had to be slowed 0.5%)

STEADINESS: 11 (filmer did an admirable job working in a rowdy crowd)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 10 (shot between crowd and mostly on-target; body on left often blocks out lower left of screen)

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT: 10 (very good color and adequate light; focus fair/a bit grainy)

EDITING: cuts and clips required the use of stills, but concert mostly complete; some frames had to removed before songs for a/v sync)
