Just had a few copies signed by Robbie Robertson today at J&R in the NYC downtown area:

I just checked out the Paul Butterfield segment that you indicated in your post. The other drummer is Richard Manuel. If you look closesly during the opening of this chapter, you'll see that his seat at the acoustic piano is vacant.
Manuel is shown playing drums on the "Evangeline" number with Emmylou Harris as well. If you listen to the commentary tracks, there are some amusing comments from his surving bandmates on his drumming technique during this segment.

what was the "infamous" item with Neil Young that was asked to be removed?)
Probably him taking a big snort of cocaine before coming onstage. Apparently on the big screen you can see the powder on his nose. I've never noticed it before, or have studied the DVD to see if it is there, but that's the story as I remember reading about it year ago.
I just got this disc with the box set myself, and found it to be the hi-light of the set, being much more entertaining than I remember it. It must be the great 5.1 mix, that just blew me away after only seeing this on VHS with no home theater set up.
I had to laugh, I watched "Driller Killer" about a week later for the first time, and that movie opens with a title card stating "This Film Should Be Played Loud!"
I strange tribute to Scorsese on a genre classic by another New York director.
