The last 20 of the 157 pages are of the 1974 American tour with The Band, 40 shows over six weeks. The music was documented on After The Flood. Dylan looks more like the common man in these photos. His clothes aren’t so unique, he has a small beard, and his eyes aren’t hidden behind sunglasses as often. One photo is of Dylan meeting Jimmy Carter. It states it is in Washington, but Feinstein’s notes mention the meeting took place at the governor’s mansion, which should have been Georgia unless Carter had another mansion.
It was the last tour Feinstein ever went on because he believed “it would never be as great as this.” Hard to imagine that if you could get paid to do be a tour photographer, you wouldn’t jump at the chance. If any of Mr. Dylan’s representatives are reading this and have an opening, please drop me a line.
Images from the book can be found at Feinstein’s website.

It should be noted -- I was there -- that, within weeks of the 1965 Newport Folk Festival -- Dylan toured the US, the most scintillating performances being in the San Francisco Bay Area. Later, of course, he toured Europe in 1966, Hawaii, and Australia. You should check your fact.
