Don't Think Twice - Doc & Merle Watson (6/24/79-Se)

[@rickyhenry4958]

So damn good. Merle’s fingerpicking is unbelievable

[@hammer-on6715]

Such beautiful Fingerstyle runs from Merle,... wish they would have shown His Face....... Rest in Peace 'Doc & Merle.....

[@randalbladel2817]

Doc was adding some flatpicking fills as well.

[@Flintones]

Merle was a monster player, can't imagine what his playing would be like today had he lived. Tragic loss. Long live the memory of he and Doc.

[@morganspector5161]

Doc and Merle: arguably one of the greatest duos ever. Merle died far too young

[@michaelterry1000]

I always loved Doc I always loved Dylan Never thought I’d hear Doc sing Dylan.

[@Ade4fish]

So long as that ol' rail-track is there , songs of heart-break will be too

[@stargazer6753]

Sweet.

[@mytapepoppedtoys2450]

Hell yeah, Doc. Hell yeah.

[@bradlawler4627]

I'm absolutely astonished how unique Doc Watson was Truly one of Greatest Gifts given by God really cool

[@rakejackson7354]

Merle should get way more credit than he does. There will never be 2 guitars flow together like theirs did.

[@baxterwilliams9290]

Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen are another duo whos guitars flowed beautifully together

[@rakejackson7354]

@@baxterwilliams9290 you are not wrong they were great togerher

[@ddaanntt]

I've replayed this countless times - I think the real star here is Merle's fingerpicking - wish they'd shown that, but I do love Doc's voice.

[@hochbob]

I'm a fingerstyle guitarist and I couldn't agree with you more.

Merle absolutely nailed it that day and every other day. His talent was immense.

Two of the best ever!!! Whomever gave it thumbs down needs to buy some Ted Nugent albums!!! Home folk, hate it their gone!!! All the greats are gone!!!

[@scottmoore2231]

Gone but never forgotten!!!

[@donclemons7637]

Sad miss them

[@JohnDoe-wv2jv]

I saw them about 50 years ago in at the Ashgrove - a little club in L.A. Fantastic show. Gone but never to be forgotten by those who love good music. RIP

[@wildbillhackett]

Doc always had the definitive version of this song.

[@timbombosch7060]

Love Doc, but Dylan's version is incomparable.

[@jimwebb1933]

Did U hear Joan Baez?

[@wildbillhackett]

@Fuzzy Butkus Yeah, thanks.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Agreed. Dylan had nothing on Doc, but Davy Graham could have given him a run for his money

[@craigcook2393]

❤ this and of course Dylan’s original but Susan Tedeschi also does a great version. Check out her Gun & Garden concert on KZbin.

[@wayneconn1079]

He always nailed a track and made it his own and made sure you remembered his version

[@dustywelchcraneman6614]

That style of picking is noticable from the first note! It's wild and amazing! Sounds like three guitars playing!

[@beemax7508]

Check out billy strings. He is Today’s doc Watson.

[@beemax7508]

[@SilentAttackTV]

He was a great singer on top of his incredible guitar playing.

[@wayneconn1079]

​@@beemax7508Remember Doc was Blind and was capable of anything . He would cook was and even make things out of wood etc . He was an immense talent nuby like him . What Ray Charles did for piano Doc did for picking guitar 😊

[@slafco6666]

Nowadays I love this song more and more

[@brendahawkins3965]

Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqSXmWOHa6yEfsk

[@toddtrojek6521]

I heard Billy Strings play this Dylan song . Did not know Doc played it too! Awesome!

[@TheMovielover27]

What’s more - i didnt realize billy’s version is clearly inspired by this version. He plays it very similarly

[@beegee14]

@@TheMovielover27he openly credits doc and merle in one of his live shows here on KZbin ( in fact he gives respect to doc Watson and many other legends in many many videos which is so refreshing)

[@stargazer6753]

Agreed.

[@kprairiesun]

Such a beautiful voice, too

[@johnf4279]

The Doc was always the best. Don't think twice. It's alright.

[@Ade4fish]

First saw this on the TV in the UK about 40 years ago. I revisit now and again and always love it.

[@lehampton1]

My father picked and sang this version of Don’t Think Twice. Doc was the only artist he listened to who played it. When I told him it was written by Bob Dylan he was surprised. He didn’t like my music, as most parents don’t like their children’s generational music. But he did give Dylan kudos for writing a great song especially when I told him Dylan was a big Woodie Guthrie fan.

[@sherman-ranchgermanshepherds]

One of the best

[@LOUISFIELDS1]

One of my favorite songs..

[@ceebee18]

Legend.

[@arcajazz]

Man. I'm fuckin crying here...

[@tedclark8178]

I had the pleasure of see Doc & Merle 2 times at the Great Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta, GA

[@Bill-lw5ii]

I was there. Stumbled in not knowing him. Then saw him every chance I got the rest of his life.

[@nowlincrooks7304]

Best of the Best!!!!

[@KimIrby]

Yes, thank you!

[@joshball7641]

beautiful

[@elliotportner8020]

Doc again the master

[@Jorbey]

Merle’s phrasing was grand

[@pops1507]

Superb

[@TheGoldenSimmer]

The ultimate break up song.

[@Dulcimerea]

omg doc thank you

[@mikespry318]

Seen Doc at the Orpheum in Minneapolis with Vassar Clements. One of my favorite shows!

[@carriemccrossen7535]

Ohh my. 💞

[@ba6561]

Thanks

[@Ade4fish]

Yep 5 years later here I am - serendipity is a thing 😉

[@tomgarrett6303]

The lack of showing Merle’s face is maddening… but we get his fingers.

[@caseylee12]

Doc is my original guitar hero

[@BOBXFILES2374a]

That's how God plays folk guitar......

[@BlaineBailey]

Badass

[@nickpavone5220]

This is Why Billy Strings is 🔥

[@stargazer6753]

Yes Indeed.

[@སྒྲདབྱངས]

Here you go 1:01 🎉

[@shamsam4]

Yes.

[@helenjohnson2685]

amazing performance! Can't figure out how Doc changed his shirt and shifted to a thumbpick during this set, but he could do anything!

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

That would be his son, Merle

[@milesfromneworleans]

Fatner and son with two different bluegrass picking styles: Doc , the flat picker, Merle the Travis-style thumb pickers.

[@roblinxweiler9951]

Why didn't they include Merle in any shots??

[@danmiller4725]

There's so many chord changes Dylan never did get it. I just saw Josh Turner teach the chord changes with tab. If you want to learn it check out Turner.

[@digidanshow]

It's alright!

[@houndsman911]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MoonStar-fq6oy]

👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️

[@danmiller4725]

Who did write this song? I just checked the jacket of Dylan's Freewheelin album and he doesnt take credit. It wasnt Dylan. And Dylan didnt play the guitar at least not lead. That was Bruce Langhorn.

[@pematuppwaritchannel9066]

😍😍😌😌😌

[@PeterNGloor]

Is this in Telluride? I was there, and the scene (stage) looks very familiar.

[@spencerroten573]

Yeah, the telluride bluegrass festival

[@PeterNGloor]

@@spencerroten573 Yes, I was there then, also went hiking, and camped near Trout Lake.

[@dustinjohnson3463]

Billy jo shaver and doc have lot in common .

[@Sleandertuet]

Sooo awesomely cool

[@davidrosen3970]

Bob Dylan wrote this song JUST so Doc Watson could make such a brilliant recording of it.

[@Highvoltage764]

Standing room only

[@joelcourtois5628]

a little tto fast

[@waliofaustin]

He's fingerpicking, not flatpicking.

[@fentonjames]

merle is fingerpicking on this. doc is clearly flatpicking.

[@waliofaustin]

My mistake. sorry.

[@richardperkins5046]

He screwed up the lyrics on verse 2.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Sounds good to me

[@richardperkins5046]

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer What was that pause for then?

[@Rarasrevenge]

Mind showing us how it’s done instead smart ass?

[@serendiptyi]

He combined verse 2 with verse 3. Unless maybe it was edited? Maybe a break in the old tape?

[@elliotportner8020]

Thank God trump has finally overworked his head and is out

[@richardperkins5046]

But Trump derangement syndrome is not over. They will never leave him alone. Keep your politics out of a music video comments. If you have something to say about the music, great, say it, but keep your derangement to yourself or on a political platform.
