The album was a departure for Dylan, who assembled a large pop-rock band with female backing vocalists for its recording.

Bob Dylan At Budokan
''Bob Dylan at Budokan'' is a live album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released August 1978 on Columbia Records in Japan only, followed by a worldwide release in April 1979. It was recorded during his 1978 world tour and is composed mostly of the artist's "greatest hits". The performances in the album are radically altered from the originals, using almost all the musicians who played on '' Street-Legal'', but relying on a much larger band and stronger use of woodwind and backing singers. In some respects the arrangements are more conventional than the original arrangements, for which the album was criticized. For a few critics, such as Janet Maslin of ''Rolling Stone'', the differences between the older and newer arrangements had become less important.Sounes, 2001, Down The Highway: The Life Of Bob Dylan, pp. 314–316.
