This is number 23 in this series which selects Dylan concerts from the internet, (aiming to offer one from each year), puts them in chronological order, and gives a link to a recording of the show in each case. (I think I miscounted previously, but this looks like number 23 to me).
This one is Madison, Wisconsin: 5 November 2012, the Alliant Energy Centre with Mark Knopfler and his band, and it contains a bit of politicising by Bob during the final song.
Those taking part are
Bob Dylan (vocal, guitar, grand piano & keyboard), Stu Kimball (guitar), Charlie Sexton (guitar), Donnie Herron (violin, mandolin, steel guitar), Tony Garnier (bass), George Recile (drums & percussion)
Mark Knopfler joins in on guitar for songs two to five as noted below.
