-during band intros, Dylan has fun with demonstrative pronouns
-very enthusiastic crowd

DISTANCE/POSITION:
VS 1: 8 (from left balcony with more shots of Tony and Charlie
VS 2: 12 (from right balcony, mostly focused on Dylan, Larry and David)
VS 3: 11 (from left balcony with more straight on shots of Paul

AUDIO:
AS 1: 13 (a bit of an echo, but vocals come out well)
AS 2: 13 (used for cut AS 1 audio; a bit better sound, but gaps between songs were problematic.

STEADINESS:
VS 1: 11
VS 2: 15 (exceptional control by filmer)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS:
VS 1: 11

FOCUS:
VS 1: 13
VS 2: 15 (splendid focus/color light; a little grainy in low blue light)
VS 3: 14

EDITING: VS 1 is used except for shaky/obstructed spots where VS 2 and VS 3 were used. Brief stills had to be added at times to account for loss of a/v sync due to glitches in source tape. Video and audio editing needed for the pre-encore break and the ending.

LB Notes for LB-6991:
jtt; Very Good Audience Recording, SOURCE: DAT > ??? > Data DVD (FLAC Files) > Soundforge 9 (FLAC Edit) *, * Disc Split, New Index Marks, Fades, JTT 2008
bittorrent download 11/08; same recording as LB-4961 based on same clapping wavs at end of d1t1; this has had levels raised with a little clipping; also has compression and sound processing to make it harsher but not all songs treated same way with first 6 songs getting most processing; this did not have the light static at end of d1t7 noted on that one (did not listen to all of this)

LB notes for LB-4961:
LB-4961: Audience recording (Full spectrum) > Unknown transfer > CDR (x) > EAC (Secure/Offset) > FLAC (Level 8)>Toast Titanium 8>disk images>Sound Studio 3>iMovie 6.0.3.
Disk 1 has small gaps at track boundaries (apparently, the audio was burned TAO and the gaps are due to removing the 2-sec. intervals between tracks]; has occasional light static or rain like noise noticable especially at d1t8 6:20 to end of track and on d1t10-12; clipped beginnings on disk 1: d1t8; d1t10; d1t11; d1t12 (?).
CEDAR-type f/p d1t04@0:29 "I'm gonna go talk to Donny" (male). Excellent sound, [A-].
