Neil Young and Bob Dylan fans were treated with a twofer when Neil and Bob performed together for the first time since 1994 in Kilkenny, Ireland on 14 July.
Young and Dylan performed the traditional 1907 Christian hymn ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken?’ for the Irish fans. The song was written by English hymnist Ada R. Habershon and Charles H. Gabriel, who is believed to have composed between 7,000 and 8,000 songs until his death in 1932. Ada died in 1918.
Dylan last performed ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken’ on 8 May, 1976. He previously played it in 1 May, 1961. This was only the third time Dylan had ever performed the song. You has done it four times previously in 1975, 1993, 1995 and 1998, firstly at the Snack Benefit of ’75, then the others all at Farm-Aid Festivals.
