where are the choruses?

Donovan looks down and realizes he's way over his head and out of his league

what a poet xxx

The look Donovan gave him looked like a jealous look. I dont like it.

what amazes me is Dylan could remember the lyrics to this jibber jabber (I say that fondly)

Love Dylan my favourite song age 16 - 17😊

All the comments are spot-on . . . and yet, one little word choice . . . "bus stations" (vs. train stations) captures the small-town economy-has-passed-us-by change of the 1960's so perfectly. Passenger trains were a thing of the past by the 1960's as the for-profit, mostly-bankrupt intercity railroads were trying to get out of that business and AmTrack would come around until 1970.

Donovan is very uncomfortable, and he realizes that his own songwriting, compared to Bob Dylan, is mediocre at best.

Who are the people in the background of this video?

all artists wanted to have what bob had in those days , which for me was nothing short of divine, a connection to god or whatever you may want to call. Yeah i have long been jealous of Mister Dylan until i heard him say one day that he didn’t even know where the words came from and that it did not last long …

The light in the darkness is the cure of the fire of thenling night 🌙 ✨️ 🎶 🔥 ♥️ 🖤 🌙 ✨️ ❤🎉🎉🎉😊😅😮🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤3rd 1 last time ❤😅😅😅die tnkw hang up the phone allan watts. Rchk3x A+++%*@

I would give almost anything to be able to go back in time and be in that room when he performed this song. The first time I heard it I was stunned by the lyrics and the images they conjured up. Who else writes stuff like this? Truly great stuff.

Is there anyway to download a version of this, it's my favourite version of this song and I'm worried to loose it

Overdubbed "want a special one"? Ahh well, it was 1965. Not so long ago, When I was a kid early 90s. I had to get 3 busses, bribe a few people, and get down on my hands and knees to get footage like this ! Seems all to easy these days. Great to watch again tho!

From film Dont Look Back wayched it in Cinema in Glasgow ehrn released in 60s , Donovan eas thrn described as British Dylan

He dunked on Donavan

was Dylan the 1st Rapper??

poor Donovan....

There we are my love this one is for you. Han solo. Bob Dylan right my Buffalo soldiers?

What a nice young man.

I'm sure some of the people in the room were thinking to themselves that this kid is brilliant

so sweet

Donovan is great in his own way. Dylan is just a once in a lifetime artist.

Donovan sat there knowing he’s not up to that standard.

i'm 25 years old and i like this song and also i'm gay

One of my favourite songs ever. Like others I do feel sorry for Donovan in the video there though, a fine musician in his own way but who is clearly going through the horrible realisation that he's in a completely different league. We've all been there in our own way mate.

Superb version. A bit show offy but understandable in the circumstances. Donovan sick as a dog. Some straight grooving it on the floor and random Old guard baldy folkie.

I am 24 years old. I have come back to this video a million times since I found it at age 15. I will continue to do so.

He breaks high and free All inside of me

I love this song but I also love Donovan's "Jersey Thursday". Dylan's career was no doubt better but Donovan did okay for himself.

My love she speaks like silence, Without ideals or violence, She doesn't have to say she's faithful, Yet she's true, like ice, like fire. People carry roses, Make promises by the hours, My love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can't buy her. In the dime stores and bus stations, People talk of situations, Read books, repeat quotations, Draw conclusions on the wall. Some speak of the future, My love she speaks softly, She knows there's no success like failure And that failure's no success at all. The cloak and dagger dangles, Madams light the candles. In ceremonies of the horsemen, Even the pawn must hold a grudge. Statues made of match sticks, Crumble into one another, My love winks, she does not bother, She knows too much to argue or to judge. The bridge at midnight trembles, The country doctor rambles, Bankers' nieces seek perfection, Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring. The wind howls like a hammer, The night blows cold and rainy, My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing.

I’ll send it to you someday, my flower

This is after Donovan just played Mellow Yellow or some shit right? 🤣 Dylan the boss like give me the guitar and I’ll tune it myself and play a song I just came up with…

All music should be in this type of setting. So intimate. So brilliant.

This is a scene in the film "Don't Look Back". Donovan had just sung a song minutes earlier. As Dylan sings look at Donovan's face. It seemed in the movie that Donovan's talent was being humiliated by the comparison. Just an impression shared by some friends and I many years ago.

Those two close-ups of Donovan make me wonder if he was first thinking of how much a pawn shop would give him for his guitar and the second was thinking about becoming a truck driver. Reality was settling in; Dylan was in a class of his own.....still is!

I wonder if she was real?

Donovan got schooled. Had to step up his potion cause hes realizing this is on another level

when Dylan asks you if you want to hear a special song, it is a sin to say no. I see your point, Donovan.

This is really great.,one of my favorites , sung in the simplicity without any other adornment.He didnt need it

The phone was Dylan riding in his Delorian: 'Hey, you know that new sound you lookin for...well listen to this!'

I'd forgotten this was one of my favourite songs a long time ago having discovered Dylan as a 12 year-old in the 1970s. It's almost infinitely moving in this footage. Incredible.

Uauuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!

It’s too good he’s scaring the hoes

🎹🎼🌟

That is Dylan....his stuff holds up in minimalist form...

Long ago

I believe maybe Donovan had other things on his mind - not envious of Dylan. Donovan learned of the mystical sayings and beliefs and turned those into lyrics and song - Dylan wrote what he did.... Donovan was his own person pointed in his own direction . Always seemed comfortable in his own shoes and still does

Donavan just has that look of acceptance on his face that he'll never be able to eclipse the master. I love Donovan too but nothing he did had the complexity of a Dylan song.
