Bob Dylan 70th birthday countdown - No. 68, Van Morrison with Bob Dylan

Today we continue our Bob Dylan 70th birthday countdown.

Bob Dylan and Van Morrison have been friends for decades. In 1989, Dylan joined Morrison for a few tunes. All songs except "And It Stoned Me" were included in the 1991 BBC documentary, Arena: One Irish Rover – Van Morrison in Performance. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we have Morrison and Dylan dueting on the Belfast Cowboy's classic, "Crazy Love."
