Bob Dylan and Van Morrison - Crazy Love (Athens 1989)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2016
- 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. The two legendary singer-songwriters played several of Morrison's songs: "Foreign Window" and "One Irish Rover," above, and "Crazy Love," below. A fourth song, "And It Stoned Me," was apparently cut from the film. www.openculture.com

this version is not on spotify but it's by far the best version of this song ♥
This is one of the finest pieces of anything on the entire internet. Aren't you glad we're able to share it with each other right now, somehow and someway? That's beautiful. That's the good part of this thing. So - love to you and yours - wherever you are.
I feel like I'm at a cafe and these 2 dudes are just jammin next to me! Love it.
Unbelievable ! These two greats jamming with the acropolis in the back ground! 😍😍😍😍😍
Moondance, the album on which this song first appeared, came out in 1970. It was immediately a favorite, and I listened to it a lot, and was still listening in 1973 when I met a woman who gave me crazy love the likes of which I didn't know existed in the world. This song was part of the sound track of our long and crazy love affair, right up until her death 6 months ago. It's one of the things I listen to when I want to cry a little while remembering her. I can still hear her heart beat, and her sweet loving still makes me righteous and whole and mellow down into my soul.
Sorry for your loss....van Morrison is northern Ireland's favourite son
Thank you, Jackie. Northern Ireland has much to be proud of there. He is a great artist.
this is one of the most beautiful things i have heard
jackie fernando I agree!!! It's instant chill lol
Often the most beautiful jams come out of informal sessions such as these, where egos fade & the little mistakes add to the joy of it all. So what if the lyrics 'hop, skip & jump', so did my heart, with joy.
My young love dedicated this song to me…hope he’s happy!!!!
My heart fills as do my eyes. This song encapsulates what art is in it's most basic form: Love. Crazy Love.
My favourite two singer songwriters of all time I've had the pleasure of seeing live. Inspiring, brave and hard working beautiful human beings.
The two greatest songwriters of all time.
I happened to watch Dylan's concert that day in Athens where Van Morrison also appeared and played a few songs.
you lucky you
Χαράλαμπος Μαυρίκ
Lucky Man
Cool. Special that. ✌️
During the corona virus, I’m here singing this to my wife...
Jared Noyes bravo 👏
Jared Noyes What a lucky woman 😊
Jared Noyes , I wish someone would sing to me , that would have to be the most romantic thing ❤️ bless you
I have chills about this.
Woohoo, a dear friend just video messaged me and sang me some beautiful songs! Never had a wish come true before ❤️❤️❤️
Best songwriters ever
Two of the greatest singing together.
I like this version the most. It has a simplicity with it's lack of extreme refinement.
Three great monuments!
It's strange but humanising to see Bob on the back foot.
Yes, I agree. Sometimes it must feel great to just be one of the boys in the band.
And I think bob agrees. He’s lost but in such good humor. He’s having fun!?
He learned a few licks and tricks from the Irish lads, Paul Brady taught him Lakes of Ponchetrain
Best best version. Amazing
Two of the greatest musicians ever in the birthplace of Western Civilization and I'm the first to comment.
Bob wasn't a great musician. He was a good song writer a d that's about it. If it wasn't for the hippies poor ole' Bob would even be known. I put Bob up there with the Grateful Dead as entirely OVERRATED.
+CAPOC38A you're an idiot...Dylan is probably the most underrated guitarists of all time...a Man who heavily influenced the Beatles, rolling stones, Hendrix,Springsteen, Willy etc. + I'm sure you're personal favorite the Monkees
+Richard Vosacek You're an idiot. Bobby wrote some of the most nonsense lyrics of all-time. Sure he had a few gems but that's about it. Guitarists???? Bob was far far and far away from being a mediocre guitarists at best. You are a Bob fan and think he the greatest much like Greatful Dead fans think they are just the most far out band in the universe. Well... neither is and both are extremely overrated. Look up Bob Dylan is overrated on Google and look at all the top 10 list he makes and makes the number 1 spot on most. Guitarists???? Bwhahaha!!!
+CAPOC38A you need google to tell you what to think. You are out of your league in this discourse.
Thanx Avery
This is even more amazing than the original version man I've always liked this one amazing music!
Excellent, relaxed rendition of this fantastic tune! Bob and Van are two of the greats!
My favorite song on Van Morrison's early album !
A crazy love song at the Hill of the Muses with the two greatest songwriters aka philosophers of the ancient times .
Cohen was better than Morrison but Bob the no.1 of this gen by far Morrison still angus 4 or 5 tho
Who ever thumbed this down has no soul at all...
Van followed Dylan and got a house in Woodstock to be closer to him in 68-that's how he met the Band
No one sings a love song like Van the Man 😍
Love love love this video. I play this when im feeling down, when i'm feeling up, when i'm not sure how to feel. There is something about the harmony in their voices together that rattles my soul. From the warpy sound at the begining to the rough road this track takes, all the way to the heartache of wonderfulness it leaves you with.
The two greatest together, wonderful
i love it!! those two together is a beautifull gift
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heaven's open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Two amazing artists. The greatest ever (Dylan), one of the most underrated major artists (Morrison)
K17swayne van is way better than dylan on any rainy day
@@jordanjohnson2517 Van made nursery rhymes compared to Dylan, van Morrison isn't even the best Morrison either jim Morrison was better
@@elstonngunn4193 Wrong, Van can play Sax, Guitar, Harmonica, Bass and Drums to name but a few instruments. He has the voice and his songs are far more complex in their composition. Dylan is good, but he is a lyrics man and peaked about 40 years ago.
@@elstonngunn4193 that's a bit unfair. Bob is the man but Van is treat that is hard to beat
@@Andy-Bodhi @Alan B,
@Elston Gunn, Jesus!
I don't understand why music lovers have to sound like spoiled children arguing "mine is better, he's better, Bob is better than Van, Van is better than Bob...!!"
Enjoy, appreciate and thank the Lord for the gift of creativity some artists are blessed with and just
CHILL !!! 🙏✝️✌🏼
....and @Jordan Johnson that started this competitive useless thread.
Bob and Van were/are good friends. Let's be thankful for the music they made...both alive & well touring this earthly plane :)
Something about Dylan's guitar playing is so distinct to me
I like his Strumming also... He studied lots of Folk & Blues Artists, played with many as well, Seager, The Beatles, The Stones, Orbison, Ronk, probably Muddy Waters, possibly Roger, The Byrds, Clapton, Townsend... Collins, Mitchell, Lightfoot... unending sleepless years, Johny Cash, Willie Nelson, Aretha Kristofferson, Mark Knopfler, Baez, Robbie Robertson... Strumming is just something he's always been doing since Grade-School. Nice Tracks
Too great musicians! Finally was able to see Morrison in concert in New Orleans!
Legendary!!! What a gift.
This shows why Van called Bob our greatest living poet.
Why us that then?
Not disagreeing with Van's statement
But what does this song or performance do to prove Bob's poetical genius?
It has nothing to do with other than he is kinda backing Van up in this video
I mean. Van wrote this song.
Fascinating to see these two together - a bit like watching Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in 'Heat'! I never understand anyone who says Van Morrison can't sing. When he's in the mood he has the voice of an angel.
What?! Of all the criticisms to lob against Van the Man, his ability to sing should be the last. This version is incredible
@@weezadam I know people who can't stand VM's voice. I'm a huge fan of course.
I would be ready to fight if I heard someone say that
Where I'm from, northern Ireland's famous for 3 things, van Morrison a iconic musician, George best one of the best football players ever but drank like a fish and the most famous ship in the world that sank called the Titanic lol
No words just super super fab!
Two great poets
Trying to grow my hair out like Van in this..
my favorite singer and my favorite composer singing together, what a moment! ❤❤❤
awesome duet ... the best!!
Bob Dylan was and is one of the greatest lyricists to walk the Earth. Not only has he written for others, but allowed them to claim the credit and honor for their existence. I believe the creative ideas were so abundantly coming to and through him, that he couldn't possibly produce them all himselfish.
You're a huge fan.. 3 albums ..yes👍
From your comment it seems to imply Bob wrote Crazy Love… I’m a little perplexed as this is a well known track on Vans’ album Moondance. I double checked and it was confirmed that Morrison did in fact write the song. Can you please explain what you meant for Bob allowing Van all the credit? 😊
Dylan is great, but Van the Man is the best.
@@Anthony-kw4en isn't weird that we have to rank art. Sad really
Bob getting warmed up for the “we are the world” session!
This two are toe to toe, Van is as great as anyone. Blonde on blonde and Astral Weeks are 2 of the top 10 greatest records ever for me... Blood on tracks is close too...
Veedon fleece, Too late to stop now and Common One are far far greater albums than Astral Weeks
@@lyallbenjamin1045 veedon is magical but those are not better than astral
Let's argue about a subjective opinion that we don't even understand fully due to our vastly differing brain composition...and...let's do it online!
Van Morrison's MoonDance is One of my top 10 favorite albums.
After years of waiting, I finally saw Van in concert in New Orleans at Jazz Fest. Just as he appears at any venue in public, he sings with his heart and is my favorite musician and Moondance is one of my favorite songs...maybe because I am a "Browned Eye Girl!"
Kinda makes it more raw and better
Thank you for this ❤
Dos auténticos DIOSES del Olimpo !! Sublime

Y aquí con el gran Van Morrison dos grandes del Rock
Not hardly a day goes by that I don't listen to these two guys music.
Same. Van and Bob are the two best ever.
who thinks bob would know all the words to a van song.he cant remember his own lyrics. his mind travels more in a minute then mine will in a lifetime
James Hennessy cause his off his face lol
Love this
El viejo Van, aun joven, Dylan sibilante, la Acrópolis eterna, para que quiero más.....
Probably my favourite video
Beautiful
wow, best version ever!
Amazing
Sou apaixonada pelo Bob Dylan amo crazy love
When someone slams Dylan it not only exposes their ignorance. You don't necessarily have to like his music or his lyrics but you have to be blind and deaf not to see or hear how he brought a whole new concept to music and literary world
Please grace me with your wisdom.
@@TheJoshA please allow my swollen helmet to part your rectal walls
Love this!
Love love love love love
This is gold
Casually beautiful
Beautiful 😁
take away my heartache in the night like a theif
ワーオ！
二人の巨人の共演ですね。
ロケーションもパルテノン神殿が見えて、リカビドスの丘が見えて。
ギリシャ神話の巨人の様な二人の歌声がアテネの空に響き渡りました。
Dylan is way out classed by Van. You can tell he knows it too.
Magic
Cool song!
Dylan is a decent backup singer!
Lol.
Bob understood that less is more when you’re backing an iconic voice like Van Morrison. He did a great job!
Dos Mitos en la cuna de la Mitología!!🤗🤗🤗
Van! incredible.
Bob and Van jamming..
SEE A WONDER IN DYLANS EYES AS HE LISTENS TO VAN.
Sweet.
This is the best rendition of “Crazy Love” I’ve heard, despite Dylan.
Edgy
Give Me Love Love Love.. ❤❤
I doubt any of the muses who stood on top that hill in ancient Greece had as rare a set of lungs as Van Morrison... but what do I know :)
