-more precise editing and use of the two video sources

PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
-great performances of all songs, especially "I Want You" and "Mama, You Been On My Mind"
-Campbell's leads on the rockers, especially "Highway 61 Revisited"
-highly engaged Dylan, mugging and gesturing to crowd frequently/salutes after "Highway 61 Revisited"
-wildly enthusiastic crowd

(ratings below are averages for the two camera angles)

DISTANCE/POSITION: 12 (two angles with extreme zooms from VS 1)

AUDIO: 14 (same upgrade for entire program; excellent LB-4898)

STEADINESS: 11 (both cameras intermittently shaky)

HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 11 (both cameras intermittently obstructed or off target; D691 tape counter on for most of program; D220.m tape counter on only at start)
