Shot from the right balcony. Audio is upgraded. Yassou comments, “This is another item that’s technically a ‘4’ rating. However, a ‘5’ is merited on the basis of the wonderful setlist, Dylan’s spirited performance, and the participation of George Harrison and Roger McGuinn during the encore. That’s a ‘must-have’ if ever there was one” [ref. https://dvdylan.com/dvd/D213.msu%5D.
(There is a 2 camera edition [D213.mu2] that adds film [D567] from a center floor position to D213, which is still primary. It adds close-ups of Dylan singing & closer shots of McGuinn & Harrison on encores. It uses the same audio upgrade in LB-02305. I don’t seem to have it, so if someone here does, it may be worth reposting.)
“Special thanks for the video to THE GHOST, J & K. Additional thanks for the audio to CB & BLINDWILLY. Edited, sound upgraded & authored by YASSOU.”

Notes (from filmers): “Back in ’87, cameras were still in their infancy. I was not sure whether it was a passing fad. Then I discovered it was possible to RENT a camera from “Radio Rentals” so with 2 like-minded mates we proposed to do just that. The camera was MASSIVE the batteries were almost a foot long an weighed about 4lbs each and only lasted 40 mins! I rented 3. Getting the gear in was going to be quite a challenge. Some amazing things were tried. In the end it was decided to put the camera in a shoulder bag with a long strap, one of us would put the bag on our back and go in wearing a cloak! “K” looked like a weird hunchback, but it worked; however the weight of the camera pulled the strap so tight round his neck that he was almost strangled! The batteries were taped to our legs which meant we were walking like cripples! Night one (14th) we cased the place an took nothing in. But the next night we were there… Now I had never used this camera before apart from a brief fiddle at home. I did not know it had a macro facility. So when I started to film the macro was “on” which stopped me focusing in!! It took to Thin man to discover and correct the error. But we got the whole show. I will never forget the feeling of elation when we left the Arena later! I think it’s maybe that that keeps me involved all this time later. Its not a great film, but its watchable and it was the first I was involved in. We tried the same method on the 16th but got stopped going in. But, we were there again on the 17th. My helpers were J and K. J is still a mate, but less involved. K and I worked together for a few years till he discovered women! Maybe a story for another day.”
