IMPROVEMENTS OVER D285.su:
-split into 2 discs for better bitrate/resolution
-cut down on special effects
-more precise use of stills

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-good acoustic set highlighted by a splendid "Mama, You Been On My Mind"
-wonderful performance of "Blowin' In The Wind" w/chilling harmonies from Larry and Bucky
-in band intros, Dylan surmises that this is his best band, and tells us that Bucky is very important; judging from the importance off the pedal steel to the TOOM sound, one must agree
-slinky blonde walks across stage before "Positively 4th Street" and delivers something (see final screenshot)


DISTANCE/POSITION: 8 (filmer had a good position and was able to pan and zoom to some extent, but active people in front posed problems.

AUDIO: 14 (excellent Bobby Bourbon recording)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 11 (heads and bodies occasionally in the way, especially a guy with glasses who was often getting out of his seat)

FOCUS: 13 (good color/focus sometimes soft)

EDITING: Editor filled off-target, shaky, obstructed parts w/stills, typically between tracks)
