Note: Disk author found LB-4862 to be best for this project


This 2-source sound upgrade was motivated by the release of the master source for D687. It was combined with a later (probably 1st) generation copy of D176, an item that was sound upgraded as D176.su, one of the most highly-regarded items in the DVDylan catalog. Because D687.m was new, a decision was made to use as much of it as possible and to wait for the release of the master for D176 to produce another upgrade that would favor that film.

The excellent setlist and compelling performance, not to mention the strong Crystal Cat audio, make this as much a "must-have" as any item in this catalog. Hence, '5-Stars'.
