To my great pleasure and slight suprise, I’ve found D734.su to be the most noteworthy of the latest flood of items I’ve had a chance to watch.
Some picture degradation, especially on the Berkeley tracks (see screenshots). Some shakes and obstructions, especially on the floor-shot Berkeley tracks. These flaws rarely detracted from my enjoyment of the video. Colors on both tapes are very vivid and pleasant.
Audio of the highest order.
Dynamic and committed performances on the part of Bob and the Band. Highlights throughout.
Yet again this intrepid dvdylanologist/author has turned less than prime video material into a fine document to be treasured and shared.
Crossing the San Francisco Bay is great representation of spring 1992 tour on DVD. Worth getting a look at for sure.
