One Irish Rover (Dylan and Van Morrison)

Continuing our feature of  duets during Bob Dylan's birthday month

 "Bob Dylan and Van Morrison Sing Together in Athens, on Historic Hill Overlooking the Acropolis"

Comments from Open Culture about the following video:

On a summer day in 1989, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan met up in Greece and brought their acoustic guitars to the place in Athens where the ancients believed the muses lived. Philopappos Hill, traditionally known as the Hill of the Muses, rises high above the Athens Basin and has a commanding view of the Acropolis. It was June 29. Dylan had just wrapped up a European tour the night before at Panathinaiko Stadium, and Morrison was traveling with a BBC crew for an Arena documentary that would be broadcast in 1991 as One Irish Rover: Van Morrison in Performances.

Here then are the two legends, back in 1989.
