That's an interesting look behind the scenes at what was going on during those controvertial "Bob's gone electric!" concerts.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that both the words and the music have been important: that there can be more than just one thing about Dylan.
With his often scornful attitude at press conferences, especially in his early days, he gave the impression that he was a casual joker of an artist. But on the clip from Dianna, I notice that he was focused and working hard at his craft all the while. There's a similar revelation (different era) in his book Chronicles in which he lets slip a bit about the time, seclusion and effort he put into getting his Blood On The Tracks songs written.
