PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-Three songs from “Modern Times” quite well-performed
-band as tight as Receli’s drums
-First live performance of “House Of The Risin' Sun” since George, Washington
(17-June-2000)
-Tony’s red hat
-Herron’s violin quite prominent on several songs, including “House Of The Risin’
Sun”
-blistering take on “Its Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”
-Dylan’s keyboards and Herron’s pedal steel particularly prominent on “When The Deal
Goes Down”
-cool harp on “I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)”
-though unseen, Freeman’s lead on “Masters Of War” quite effective

DISTANCE/POSITION: 8-15 (left balcony 40˙) (filmer had a relatively unimpeded view and was able to zoom and pan effectively; focus mainly on Dylan with Herron & Kimball often in picture; Receli and Garnier rarely seen due to head on left; Freeman seen briefly during last song, during final bows and upon band’s exit from stage)

AUDIO: 15 (excellent LB-4706)

STEADINESS: 12 (some unsteadiness, but always watchable)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 13 (head on left restricted panning left; occasional passing bodies)

FOCUS: 13 (excellent color and light; focus on the soft side

EDITING: cut and obstructed parts filled with stills

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-188:
Very watchable, very nice.
Not the whole show of course but that second track alone makes it all worthwhile.
Remember, even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.
