Bob Dylan - Another Budokan 1978 features 16 previously unreleased tracks. The Bob Dylan World Tour 1978 marked the artist's first international dates since 1966 and his first live shows since the Rolling Thunder Revue which toured North America in 1975-76. A major international musical event, this year-long tour saw Bob Dylan perform 114 concerts in Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe, to an audience of two million people. The tour began in February 1978 with eleven historic performances: Dylan's very first concerts in Japan, including eight at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan Hall. Two of the concerts at the Budokan - on February 28 and March 1, 1978 - were recorded on 24-channel analog multi-track tape, and 22 performances extracted from these concerts were released on Bob Dylan At Budokan, a 2LP box set initially released by Columbia Records in November 1978 for Japan only, then in April 1979 for the rest of the world, in response to widespread demand.
