On Sunday, famed singer-songwriters Bob Dylan and Neil Young offered up a co-headlining gig at Kilkenny, Ireland’s Nowlan Park, just two days after their co-bill at London’s Hyde Park on Friday.
To the crowd’s surprise, Dylan and Young joined forces for a collaborative take on the traditional “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?”, marking the first time the duo appeared onstage together since a performance at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom in 1994.
Rolling Stone notes that Dylan first played the tune during his coffee house shows dating back to 1961, and later recorded it in 1967 during the Basement Tapes sessions with The Band. Prior to Sunday, Dylan hadn’t played “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” since a stop in Houston on his traveling Rolling Thunder Review tour in 1976. Young, on the other hand, has played the song with Willie Nelson four different times between 1995 and 2018.
