This is my favorite version of "Don't Think Twice." Shivers ran down my spine the moment he sang the first line. There's a moving, penetrating magic in his voice. His fingerpicking is also divine; I can only wonder why he didn't continue it into 1964.

This was recorded on October 26, 1963 at Carnegie Hall in New York City. I took this from the "50th Anniversary Collection 1963," a limited release of 100 copies. Enjoy this gem while you can!

    I'm 75 years old and this rendition bought tears to my eyes. Thanks for this, it means more to me than, unlike Dylan, I can't put it in words.

    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.

    A live performance that rivals studio recordings of our current time. This is priceless.

    Just the Harmonica playing alone is something special. What a guy x
  • @oliveeisner8964
    How is this possible? I now have a NEW favorite version of this classic Dylan song. I've always adored his harmonica sound on this one in particular, it suits the mood perfectly. The train pulling out of the station... goodbye love. 💖

    ive listened to a lot of cats in my time & I'm convinced that at his best, naked w/ only the acoustic, his balls & brains on stage, dylan is the only guy ive heard who could tap into what hank sr captured for a brief time. that purely american vision. the cold steel rail stretching across the empty but vast great plains. no one, including cash, was able to better channel hank sr.'s shadow Eye and influence better then dylan.... people talk about woody all the time. sure he was a big influence on dylan. but dylans youth, sitting at nite in hibbing listen to the big beam radio out of nashville & shreveport blasting hank across the plains into the great north woods, that penetrated deep. dylan's ear was able to carve those shadows deep into the marrow. dylan is inconsistent, but when he taps it like here, time stands still. hes along w/ hank sr & a few chosen others (cash too) are 20th century singer songwriter mt rushmore level.

    You can truly hear every emotion in this performance. I personally felt it hard in “still I wish there was something you could do or say”. There’s hesitation, a small break in the dynamics. Absolutely amazing

    He also delivered the best version of Boots of Spanish Leather that night. So blessed those who attended. Young Dylan is unmatched, really.

    No One can sing Dylan, but Dylan himself ❤
  • @CipherSerpico
    Bob Dylan was an absolutely Brilliant Vocalist. And I will never refrain from debating-anyone that says otherwise.
  • @lilix2594
    So melodically bittersweet, so comprehensive sound. Pure perfection and magic for me. Peak of creativity.
  • @mikesylvan6860
    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!
