Don't Think Twice It's Alright (ALLLLLLLLRUUUUIGHT)

One of the best artists of the last decade

The best fingerpicking I've seen on this song.

It's a COVER, not a "Bob Dylan vs John Mayer competition." Just chill and listen to him play and sing.

In my whole life I've never seen a guitarplayer with that much emotion as John Mayer has. I kinda think it is a personal question, but he definitely, DEFINITELY is one of the greatest guitarplayers ever. Hats of to Mr. Mayer, my favourite musician ever

”I’m on the dark side of the road-” ”YEAH”

John is a ridiculously underrated guitar player

That rowdy guy in the background lol

Exactly what an open channel guitar hero is able to do, a rendition of a classic song with perfectly integrated licks of his own

Each artist should sing their interpretation of a classic like this.. He is not Dylan and he is not trying to be. This is not Karaoke kids. This is a real singer song writer just dropping into a pub to sing a few.. Give Mayer a break here. I like this version too.

Man that ending on the guitar gives me pure goosebumps everytime, especially with the crowd being so involved. Funny how humans disagree with each other on so many things today but just by playing a sound we can all agree, get along and feel happy together. #musicsavestheworld

The very notion that a mainstream artist covers one of the greatest pioneers of songwriting and folk music....that's worth celebrating

I don't mind these alright shouts, they fit the place and occasion quite well and it works for me. Nice connection between performer and audience at 1:57 where John messes up for a second, but it's ALRIGHT :)

Why are people ripping the audience? They all seemed to have enjoyed the performance and were highly engaged. As a performer myself, I love these types of audiences.

I honestly like hearing that guy in the background, he is certainly feeling the music :)

Watched this 10 times in a row, goosebumps, felt like i was there, definitely a special capture.

BEST Bob Dylan cover i've heard and seen been covered.

John Meyer is so cool cuz he knows how good classic songs like this are. He in turn has created equally awesome songs. :)

probably one of the best covers of this song Ive ever seen - and Ive seen many! It realy shows that John is one of the greats of our time.

If you consider where he was in his life at this point, it makes the cover so much more meaningful

I agree, I can never pick my all time favourite Dylan song, but this is one of them for sure.

This is just pure God given talent. Completely effortless raw performance right here.

Absolutely fantastic and somehow his own original touch to the classic song. Well done!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful cover.

Just brilliant. LOVE this cover. Love love love.

John is amazing! Awesome cover. Seriously one of the best singer/song writers out there and a brilliant guitar player.

This is an awesome cover from two awesome musicians

This is the best cover of this song that could ever be! 👌🏼👌🏼

I gotta be honest, I kinda like how rowdy the crowd is. As it says in the caption, it was a "surprise" visit. Were the rowdy drunk people supposed to walk out when John Mayer walked in? Personally, if I was caught in such a situation where someone suddenly starting throwing down incredible music, I would respect the music and listen quietly, but I can't deny that I would be fired up and would have a hard time containing my excitement. Great cover.

Thank you for this performance.

heck. Magical.

this is absolutely amazing. thank you so much for these videos

My favorite version of this song. Got me through a rough year in college. Still play it this way when i pick up a guitar every once in a while.

I thought I wouldn't like this. Was sure that John Mayer has too smooth and clean of a voice to do Dylan... but this was fantastic. Great cover.

How could anyone not like this?!!

so glad someone recorded this

Great cover! Don't think twice it's alright Alright !!!

I can appreciate the guy wahooing...funny...but nice because he's definately into it! As I would be! :) GOOSEBUMPS listening to this song. Can't wait for the next album and world tour!

Fantastic cover !!!!

Beautiful. Perfect song for John.

This is such beautiful music, man, goddamn.

Best cover of this song

Thanks so much for going through a lot of pain to get this amazing footage!

It was amazing for me, and I get to choose the title of my videos. ;)

What a great musician he is!!!!

I saw Clapton in an impromptu appearance in Indianapolis in 89. Some people didn't even know who he was. I'm sure the same is true with this appearance 😎

Probably my favorite cover ever

Thank you for the great video... Oh, I seriously need John to release another CD soon or something, I need it.

2:00 that "alright" ....

Drunk lawyers who clearly aren't familiar with the context of the original. One of the best songs Dylan did, IMO. Flawless lyrics. "I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul."

i bet this cover is going to be on next album, thumbs up if you agree/want it

The soul that Bob put into his version.

God, I love this man.

@JustYourAverageJoes The finger work on this is amazing. If you see previous videos of John doing this cover, he's not playing all the notes or playing as fast as he is on this one. He said before he started the song that he was worried he was going to screw it up, but it was perfect as far as I could tell.

Thanks for uploading:)

Guy is just ridiculously talented.

One of the better versions that I've heard.

This crowd is awesome !

Thanks for posting :)

Bob must love this :)

Ever since I heard him on Stern's birthday show I've liked him.

@violetskyye he never ceases to amaze me. truely inspirational! i appreciate you posting all these videos my friend!!

Don't think twice, it perfect. Love you John...

Supremely Talented

Love this cover...love.

I'll give it a Thumbs Up!!

STunning..

you have steady hand.thanks

thank you !!!! love 2:00 !!!!!!

He is brilliant.

i loved the people in the background, it gave the performance a better energy

I listened to Ben Sidran the other night. He's done covers of a number of Dylan's songs. Completely different and VERY GOOD.

I enjoyed this great version of a classic Bob Dylan song "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by John Mayer!

Anyone ever stop to think this may have been this drunk guys highlight of his life? Or what he may have been going through and this performance may have just taken him away from the struggles and misery for a moment? Cheer up y’all, life’s short. Enjoy it while you can.

I always smile when he starts strumming

@violetskyye I am so jealous you got to be there for this.. John is so damn good and a lot of people hate on him. Being a musician myself, I see john as one of if not the best musician/performer there is today. I compare him to Paul McCartney and Elton John who have AMAZING songwriting and performing ability and they are still out there doing it! John is so young. He still has so much more to give us and it's gonna be great!! Thanks for posting!

Just a man, his voice and his guitar

Nice job John..

Am I the only one who noticed how he was holding his pick between the fingers he wasn't using on his right hand, and absolutely seamlessly moved it in between his thumb and index finger at the end? I was really impressed by that.

love. Love. LOVE.

well how i love the audience.. :D

please make a record of this John

Badass Harmonica solo there =P

This is SO good that after the 100th time you stop hearing the doofus in the background. So good.

@guitaristavista I wanna like this a million times

Lyrics Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow 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-travelin' on But 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 And 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 So 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 you anymore I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin', walkin' way down the road I once loved a woman, a child, I am told I gave 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 a-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

I'm so jealous of your life! Amazing vids, my dear :)

Well done

Very nice.

@violetskyye I guess I should mention that I am very appreciative of the video. It is a great video and I just made an observation of how people do close ups of guitar players. Thanks to you I got to hear this version and it is wonderful (except for the dude yelling which you have no control over). Thank you and thanks to JM too :)

@Koldimere His new album will be called Born and Raised (that song was also played in this impromptu concert) and will be realeased in October. I agree with you, John is a freaking genius!

I took a drunk friend to a CSN concert in Jacksonville, GA Come to think of it, he dropped a Quaalude when we go there. I was 16 years old and was afraid to tell him to shut the F.. up! . He yelled out in a moment of silence when CSN were tuning up for a few acoustic songs. My obnoxious, drunken friend yelled out, " Stephen Stills! I Love You." That broke stills concentration and he said the last time that happened was when they were recording Four Way Street. Yes, I found it on side three!

This is fucking amazing.

Go find the original and you'll see why everyone loves to cover his songs.

@guitaristavista I know, because it's such a great performance. I actually didn't even notice it during the show, believe it or not. Most of us near the front were so blown away by being there. I only first heard it on the video playback.

@violetskyye I think you did a great job! Thanks for sharing!

Does anybody have any questions?............ 😄😄😄😄. Golden.

アメリカ人はフォーフォー言うのが本当に好きだな。

OH MY, marry me now. this is just incredible!

My point exactly. I'm old, from the days of live performances of Jimi Hendrix and Cream and Steppenwolf and The Doors. Big Brother and the Holding Company. Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane. Bluehouse Basement, Charlatans, American Flag. I was there, and we didn't make animal noises during the artists' presentation. Yeah, times have changed, OK. But what? Is the audience there more for the group experience rather than every nuance of the creative work?
