Washington, DC (13-Nov-10)

It is always a pleasure to get a great show from the NET. Shot with 2 cams with fat and funky sound. A superlative effort from all.

Concert opens with a 1,2,3 punch with Dylan on guitar on "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues". His playing has nothing to do with anything. Why? It's Dylan and he has all these amazing songs. It's beyond style.

Dylan feels this audience and employs them as backup singers on "Just Like A Woman" Why? Because he's Dylan.

This is a nice blend of old and new songs. Great Dylan organ solo on "Summer Days". "Summer Days" gives into a peppy "Desolation Row" with a repeated hypnotic Charlie Sexton riff. Beautiful "Simple Twist Of Fate" and a very rocking "Hwy 61".

Highly recommended.

This concert was a pure joy to attend and we're very lucky that such excellent video and audio sources were available for the production of the DVD. The main camera work by napoloeon-in-rags is sure and steady, and the audio by romeo is clear and dynamic. We owe a big thank you to those individuals for sharing their sources with the community.

Here's a review that I wrote for "Bob Links:"

I made it to the Smith Center at 3:30 PM where I met my friend, who had arrived
at 9:30 AM and was second in line. The doors opened at 6:45 PM, and we made it
to the center rail where we enjoyed a great view approximately 30 feet from
Dylan. The setlist was impressive, even if I personally prefer "Leopard-Skin
Pill-Box Hat" in the opening slot. Highlights for me were "Señor (Tales Of
Yankee Power)", "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", "Desolation Row", "High Water
(For Charley Patton)" (see video below), and "Ain't Talkin'" (see video below). Dylan played a cool little guitar
figure on "Simple Twist Of Fate" (see video below), a performance that has garnered a great deal of praise.
His voice was a little less gruff and growly than what I've heard recently, with Dylan occasionally
hitting some of the higher registers on "Just Like A Woman" and "Like A Rolling Stone." A pleasant
surprise was Stew's playing, especially the picking on "Ain't Talkin'", which
generated some rare Kimball call-outs from the audience. Charlie, as usual, was
a show within a show, looking great and playing better, although his guitar was
a bit low in the mix from my vantage point.

Awesome DVDylan.community effort on this one! Sources are excellent, clear footage and well balanced audio. One of, if not the, best DVDs from 2010 as of this writing.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
