This was released in March,but I've only now read about it in 'Isis' (the Dylan fanzine) issue 173.(Thanks,Roger).
There's a 6-page article on the show,and a comparison of releases,including pay-per-views.Apparently,there are a multitude of camera-angles/shots which differ from one release to another.
The March set www.amazon.co.uk/30th-Anniversary-Concert-Celebration-DVD/dp/B00HX860MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1418956593&sr=1-1&keywords=bob+dylan+30th+anniversary+concert used high-definition footage which "had been sitting in Japan at NHK.Japan was an early adapter of HD and they had HD cameras at the event.What you're seeing now is their cut of the show,which nobody had ever seen before.Getting the rights was very complicated because of bankruptcies.A Sony lawyer (Jeffrey Schulberg) who was a passionate music fan sorted it all out".
Shows what can be done!
