Following more yelling from the audience, Dylan mutters some incomprehensible words under his breath, tricking the audience into silence, and then kicks into high gear "One Too Many Mornings." In "Ballad Of A Thin Man" Dylan feasts on his victory, taunting the unhappy members of audience with some bars of solo piano but then offering "You know something is happening, but you don't know what it is. Do you Mr. Jones?" as a blatant challenge. Even the heckler, accusing him of personifiying Judas, could not stop Dylan. He turned to the Hawks, and uncharacterlistically cursed, "Play fuckin' loud!"
