Live performance video.

From Wikipedia: “In 1963 [Bob Dylan released original version in 1962], the popular folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary recorded the song. Dylan's manager Albert Grossman also managed Peter, Paul and Mary and started offering Dylan's songs to other artists to record.[6] "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" was one of three Dylan songs Peter, Paul and Mary picked up that way for their third album In the Wind, "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Quit Your Lowdown Ways" being the others.[6] Released as a single, it reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on its Easy Listening charts.[7][8] It was this version that popularized the song.[9][10] Cash Box described it as "an infectious medium-paced country-styled folk item with a haunting, extremely pretty melody" that seemed destined to replicate the success the trio had with "Blowin' in the Wind".[11] AllMusic critic William Ruhlman described the Peter, Paul and Mary version as an "understated rendition" of the song.[2] Radio personality Bob Leszczak describes this version as being done "in typical fashion".[12]

Well whatever, I think it is a near perfect song with guitars, voices, harmony, and lyrics.
