History
The main change is a sharper emphasis on archival recovery and documentary reinterpretation of Rolling Thunder Revue, with new material highlighting setlist variation and recording restoration. The story also broadens slightly by adding Martin Scorsese's film and renewed debate over how the tour's history is framed.
The framing shifts slightly from a broad retrospective on Rolling Thunder’s documentation and mythmaking to a more specific emphasis on the tour’s collaborative structure and the contrast between its strong early leg and weaker later phase. The current version also broadens the surrounding Dylan context by tying the Revue more explicitly to adjacent 1970s works.
