COMMENTS

The second night in Hartford is regarded by many as the best show of the Reunion Tour. The surprise opener of 'Roulette' (the song's only appearance on the tour) set the stage for an amazing performance. Other notable songs in the setlist include 'Brilliant disguise' 'Racing in the street' and 'Spirit in the night'. The clear highlight was a cover of 'Honky Tonk Woman' which was worked into 'Darling County'. July 4th 1985 has used the video from the previously circulated DVD of the show. This excellent camcorder footage captures the show extremely well. It is steady and well filmed with some good close-ups. The source tape looks like it is probably a 1st generation VHS copy, resulting in a good picture quality. The dubbed audio comes from a very good audience recording that has been released on CD as 'Hot Hartford Nights Volume II', hece the title of this DVD release. The sound improvement compared with the original version is considerable. New Menus (borrowed from the CD artwork) have also been added. The great performance, very good video and upgraded sound combine to make this a "must have" DVD.
