Bob Dylan and Neil Young Play Together for First Time in 25 Years

For the first time since 1994 at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, Bob Dylan and Neil Young shared the stage for a duet.

At their co-headlining show at Ireland’s Nowlan Park on Sunday, the aging rockers closed out the night with a joint rendition of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”

For Dylan, it was the first time he performed the traditional tune since a Rolling Thunder Revue concert in 1976. Young has played the song with Willie Nelson four times between 1995 and 2018.
