PAL

IMPROVEMENTS OVER & DIFFERENCES FROM D778.su:
-used source video files
-split show into 2 DVDs for higher bitrate
-used alternate audio source

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-great acoustic numbers, including "Rank Strangers To Me"
-tasty guitar work by Larry on rockers
-nice mandolin work by Bucky on acoustic numbers

DISTANCE/POSITION: 8->15 (left balcony 40˙): crowd seated and standing in front made shooting tough for The Ghost, but he acquitted himself nicely by zooming in and out and panning when possible; Dylan shot mostly waist up with zoom-ins to chest up

AUDIO: 14 (excellent ebb recording) (voice a little on the harsh side, but good bass and separation of voices and instruments)

STEADINESS: 11 (see "Distance/Position" above)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 11 (see "Distance/Position" above)

FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT: 13 (focus sharp except on close-ups; color excellent and light very good)

EDITING: incorporated stills for shaky/off-target parts (see setlist details)
