I fully agree... i heard don't think twice first in 1968 when i turned 11. it was on a single that i got my hands on somehow (In Holland Blonde on Blonde came out as late as 1967 and with that Dylan's earlier records) with 2 songs on each side. others were Corinna Corinna oxford town the last song i forgot i must have heard over a 100.000 times since then.
I consider this to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Even amongst Dylan's other songs, this one stands out as something magnificently special. There are times when I revisit this comment and think to myself that maybe I exaggerated my feelings about the importance of this song, but then I listen to it again... nope, I still feel the same about it.

As well as the melody, a couple of lines were taken from Clayton's "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?", which was recorded in 1960, two years before Dylan wrote "Don't Think Twice".

The first Dylan song I heard, over 45 years ago ( at a time I almost did not understand english): that's when I knew: 'this is sound and kind of music I like', and started to learn play the guitar. Since than he is kind of part of my life, even if I must admit that I prefered the 'young' Bob. Now, I just cannot even imagine how my life would have been without him.
purist performane of this I've ever heard. gorgeous, and his harp playing just beautiful. been playing this myself ever since I first heard it in early sixties. love it so much.
The emotion in his delivery at the end is simply amazing. The pauses between "I... Ain't... Sayin' you treated me unkind..." Whew, another great post Swingin' Pig. I'm so grateful you keep these coming!
Yeah, I agree this is the most wonderful Don't Think Twice. I am not angry at him anymore for "going electric", I do not feel short-changed that he went electric. He has gone on and on more wonderful day after day forever. But this is the song that we as Baby Boomer hippies learned to play as the first song we ever learned to play . . . so it sticks with us forever.
Yeah' this is my favorite version.He does a version with Clapton.It's very good Bob is in his 60's I think on that version.Yeah'Bob is a Boxer and a very great one at that...
I've tried a lifetime to copy that rhythm fingerpickin' of him in Don't Think Twice that isn't a constant some how. No problems following fellow artists of his time doing the same thing on guitar and then years later this curious remark that George Harrison once made during the Concert For Bangaladesh when he said "Its hard to follow Bob" accompanying Bob in Mr. Tambourine Man initially made me think of some psychological stuff he was singing about but he must have meant that particular inconsequent rhytm thing..
I love this. In addition to all the other techniques and styles used I hear elements of sarcasm and understatement. I just finished reading Suze Rotolo book about life with Dylan and she said that there was a store in Greenwich Village that sold live chickens. I wonder if that’s why Dylan used “rooster crowin at the break of dawn”
"When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm a-traveling on But don't think twice, it's all right" 0:45 Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan was born in Duluth, Minnesota. His original name was Robert Zimmerman and his grandparents were Jewish immigrants from present-day Ukraine and Lithuania. Already at school he formed several bands. After studying at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis he moved to New York City in 1961. [Nobel Prize Org] 0:54
This version really doubles down, more so than some of his other renditions, on the two voices in the song - one of false bravado and the other pleading - that make it a classic. Yep, I think this may in fact be the best version of all the ones I know.
Possibly my favourite Bob Dylan song…ever! Just wonderful. Listening to the fingerpicking in this recording, I half expected Bob to go into ‘Percy’s Song’.
unique! indeed it sends shivers down one's spine! He's done more 'aggressive' versions later on, but this is one of the best recordings available. What a gigantic artist and composer!
“ Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” - Bob Dylan Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe Ifin' you don't know by now An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do some how When your rooster crows at the break a dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe The light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway But don't think twice, it's all right No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never done before And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear ya any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I am told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right So long honey babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word, babe So I just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right
so bitter-sweet, so final - and yet one has a lingering feeling there's more to it... despite the worldly advice, despite the brittle layer of bravado, he still had to write the song, and he's still thinking about it 50 years later
GOTT sei Dank, Bobby, jetzt singst Du es immer wieder: "It`s allright!" Puuh, hat sich meine Anstrengung doch gelohnt - wie immer, schöner geliebter Bob!
Wow... so much for the Positively 4th Street interpretation of Dylan flipping her the bird. The song was always double-edged, but in this performance Dylan is wounded and sad. Thanks.
Bob at his peak as a Song & Dance Man! The birth of a complete new gender in the world of the popular music: the no- love Song!( At the best of It)! His Voice shall no more be so evocative & poignant! The Harmonica used Just as an extension of His prodigiouses vocal chords! The fingerpicking!/ A pivotal step in the making of a young Artist as an endless Genius!. What a fortune & privilege to attend the concert! A show able to change your Life Forever!.💔💔💔
What a great concert! I love "Lay Down your Weary Tune" from that concert (and the Byrds' version, too! ). Wonderful chaneel, Swingin' Pig! Greetings from Italy.
Over the years I've seen Dylan a bunch of times. You don't know what you'll get. The show can be a stinker or it can be as amazing as you'd want a legend to be.
that was my question ! but i don't see any video so i'm not shure that is playing just here 😁 If yes, the picking is very near, so that would be the real proof ! thanks
ruclips.net/video/IJCmgKRszYM/видео.html here's a video of him fingerpicking Girl From the North Country. Definitely him on the original studio recording.
Thanks. Bob I'm sure was aware of Jimmy's charisma. His acting did for film what Bob does for music. Katie Melua said I didn't become a musician to have a predictable life. Amen to that.

It sounds like an earlier folk song called, “Who’s gonna buy you ribbons “ by, Paul Clayton

“ Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” - Bob Dylan
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do some how
When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear ya any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
You’re right,this is one of the best versions of this song if not the best. ✌️
That rising voice, almost a scream ..a self-talk, can you calm down that way .. even alleviate the despair? It seems existential ..great version..

so bitter-sweet, so final - and yet one has a lingering feeling there's more to it... despite the worldly advice, despite the brittle layer of bravado, he still had to write the
song, and he's still thinking about it 50 years later
GOTT sei Dank, Bobby, jetzt singst Du es immer wieder: "It`s allright!" Puuh, hat sich meine Anstrengung doch gelohnt - wie immer, schöner geliebter Bob!
Wow... so much for the Positively 4th Street interpretation of Dylan flipping her the bird. The song was always double-edged, but in this performance Dylan is wounded and sad. Thanks.
Bob at his peak as a Song & Dance Man!
The birth of a complete new gender in the world of the popular music: the no- love Song!( At the best of It)!
His Voice shall no more be so evocative & poignant!
The Harmonica used Just as an extension of His prodigiouses vocal chords! The fingerpicking!/
A pivotal step in the making of a young Artist as an endless Genius!.
What a fortune & privilege to attend the concert!
A show able to change your Life Forever!.💔💔💔
What a great concert! I love "Lay Down your Weary Tune" from that concert (and the Byrds' version, too! ). Wonderful chaneel, Swingin' Pig! Greetings from Italy.
So glad you enjoyed it! That is a beautiful rendition of that song. Greetings from San Francisco, California!
Excellent !!
This is an absolutely awesome version! It sounds so beautiful, yet a bit sad 💖 !
Yes great interpretation of this marvelous song !
great version from the supreme concert of his folk period
There can be only one Bob Dylan.
Thanks so much for posting this early masterpiece.
Wish I had someone to sit and listen to Bobby D with
We are all here...
Yep. Best version of this classic. Thank you very much for posting!!
Such a talent appears only very rarely. When will we see his like again?
Simple.
Never.
A guitar and Dylan's feelings, what else do you need?
How amazing was he way back then.So beautiful.So perfect.💚
I've seen Dylan twice live and he stunk. Having said that I still worship him.
Over the years I've seen Dylan a bunch of times. You don't know what you'll get. The show can be a stinker or it can be as amazing as you'd want a legend to be.
what a voice ..... forever Bobby you are my GENIUS ♥♥♥
thanks you for this, i agree this is a very special version
Dat armonica a the beginning sends shivers dawn my back my regards hahaha
Just beautiful.
This is why the Nobel!!!
Maybe this is the proof that the fingerpicking in the studio version was really played by Dylan. They are enough similar to allow this conclusion.
Yep, no doubt he picked the original.
that was my question ! but i don't see any video so i'm not shure that is playing just here 😁 If yes, the picking is very near, so that would be the real proof ! thanks
what we are sur, that it is really Bob who plays the harmonica there 😂😂😂
Was thinking just this. He's true genius
ruclips.net/video/IJCmgKRszYM/видео.html here's a video of him fingerpicking Girl From the North Country. Definitely him on the original studio recording.
The Percy's Song from this concert is by far my favored version as well.
Dylan por siempre
You cant always get what you wanna❤
Bob Dylan is the James Dean of music. Pity we didn't have Jimmy for longer.
Thanks. Bob I'm sure was aware of Jimmy's charisma. His acting did for film what Bob does for music. Katie Melua said I didn't become a musician to have a predictable life. Amen to that.
oh babe, this song is tearing me apart.. im crying
Magnificent! 🌹
Bob Dylan wins a Nobel prize
His performed verses have been compared to Homer and Sappho 1:11 [The Economist]
Right. Awesome version. 👍🏻
Another classic :) thank you swinging Pig :) you know your dylan
The royal flush is one of a kind . I remember having one a long time ago . Bob is like a royal flush for our lifetime . Peter behind my Judy
Pure magic !
Love it!!!
Fantastic!
Back in this era he was entirely SPELLBINDING. A 24 carat genius
Great early real Bob...Wonderfilled!
Ahhhhhh I see Mr high flyer caruso is at it again I'll be singing that all day 😎
Otherworldly version of my favorite Dylan song
Bob! even your commentators are above average.Even the title made me think & over think
