Bob Dylan surprised fans at his Belfast concert by closing the show with a rare cover of Van Morrison's 'Going Down to Bangor.' The performance took place during his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour at Waterfront Hall, highlighting the shared musical heritage between the two artists in Morrison's hometown. A fan-recorded audio captured the moment despite the no-phone policy.
