IMPROVEMENTS OVER & DIFFERENCES FROM D710:
-source files used
-sound upgraded
-split show into 2 DVDs for higher bitrate
-replaced missing, off-target & obstructed parts with stills

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-"Roving Blade" stands out
-one of only two performances of "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" documented in the DVDylan.com database
-extended harp solo on "It Ain't Me, Babe"
-fine sound, but over-exposed video compromise the enjoyment

DISTANCE/POSITION: 8 ➝ 15 (VS 1 cam tilted slightly to the left and stays mostly on Dylan, JJ and the two drummers; Tony occasionally seen due to stage right position; Bucky rarely seen due to extreme stage right position)

AUDIO: 15 (excellent recording)

STEADINESS: 12 (camera mostly steady except when audience member to the right makes things difficult)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 12 (mostly unobstructed except when audience member to the right gets in the way)

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT: 8 (focus compromised by low venue light and overexposed spotlight)

EDITING: gaps in VS 1 source on Disc 2 filled with VS 2 and VS 3 stills (see setlist details)

AUD DAT Master [Sennheiser Mics]>DAT>WAV>Soundforge 6.0>CD Wave>CD>EAC>WAV>FLAC
excellent sound [A]
(a bittorrent from 01/12 is same recording based on same clapping wavs at end of d1t2 inverted and has more hiss and noisy spectral view like from a cassette; described with a generic info file with filenames like "d1Piste 1.flac"; xref-00949)

Luisbp51 notes for LB-2683-xref-00003_LPB fix:
Same recording as LB-2683. Received in trade as wav files on a data DVD with a note from my trader on a text file [sorry.txt], which is also included. The note just apologized for the lack of lineage, mentioning some artwork also included (back inserts).
Lineage: ? > wav (data DVD) > wav (adobe audition 1.5) > flac (flac 1.2.1b w/flac frontend 1.7.1 - align on SB option - level 8 - verify on)
Cut between Cd-R's now repaired. A few other drops have also been patched using LB-2683-xref-00949 and a few samples of similar waveforms from the nearby of the affected area. Digiflawfinder reports before and after the fixing job are also included. Sound of the recording remains unaltered.
