"I Want You" is a song recorded by Bob Dylan in 1966.
Recorded in the early morning hours of March 10, 1966, the song was the last one recorded for Dylan's double-album BLONDE ON BLONDE. It was issued as a single that June, shortly before the release of the album.
There were three complete takes of "I Want You", with the final take and a guitar overdub comprising the master. The recording session was released in its entirety on the 18-disc Collector's Edition of THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 12: THE CUTTING EDGE 1965-1966 in 2015, with the penultimate take of the song also appearing on the 6-disc and 2-disc versions of that album.
Dylan performed "I Want You" as a slow ballad during his 1978 world tour, as heard on BOB DYLAN AT BUDOKAN, released in 1979. Dylan also revisited the song in 1987 on a co-tour with the Grateful Dead; their version was released in 1989 on the DYLAN AND THE DEAD album.
