When I saw dylan with the dead at Columbus this past summer, there was someone who was stading in the pavilion during Dylan's set w/ a hand held shotgun mic, just standing there taping, not concealing it at all.
One of the venue security went and told him to put it away, and then another came up and, presumably, told him that it was OK, because both security guards left, and the dude kept recording Dylan's set.
I assume they mistook Dylan's taping policy as consistent with the Dead's...
They also did collective jams on the nites that I saw them (I think they did this for every show...) - since Dylan is on stage, does that mean all the tapers had to stop recording?
IMHO, and I am a huge, huge Dylan fan - most of his recorded shows, that I have heard, totally blow, and it's not the quality of the recording that I am talking about...
