Some of the footage in that is simply amazing. Also the interviews with producers past. Very entertaining for Dylan fans ("he first came in with something like 50 verses to Blowing In the Wind"). But the early footage from folks festivals and the London shows is great.

I actually just saw him for the first time this summer. It wasn't bad, but it was not at all what I expected. For one thing he was at a piano the whole time. Also, the songs were all really energy-charged, lots of distortion and really heavy playing. I was just pretty excited to see him in real life.
