1963 Dylan v. 1965 Dylan

Did anyone else get the sense that Dylan in the 1963 live performance was a different person form Dylan in the 1965 live performance? First of all, he looked 15 years old while singing “only a pawn in their game”. He also seemed much more like a folk singer in that performance. He was dressed very simply in a dress shirt and his hair was a little tamer compared to the 1965 version. In the 1965 performance, he seemed much more like a rock star. He looked 35 in this performance (Gee, I wonder what he had been doing in those 2 years). He was dressed much more ‘rock starish” with his leather jacket and stylish electric guitar. I couldnt figure out how to get pics in the blog but if you search youtube there are vidoes of him over those two years.
