[via Mojo] Bob Dylan and Joan Baez are set to perform this Wednesday in Washington at In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement. Oddly enough, it was almost 50 years ago that they sang together in Washington for the first time, during the Jobs and Freedom march in 1963, led by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sure, they’ve performed together plenty of times over the years, and sure there’s absolutely no confirmation as this point that they’ll be performing any songs together… and yet, it’s still hard to not feel excited by the prospect of that. It’s good to give the people what they want sometimes, and the people want a Dylan/Baez duet at the Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement. Am I right?

There will be a live stream of the performances at whitehouse.gov. Smokey Robinson and John Mellencamp are also scheduled to perform.

And, just because, here they are singing “Never Let Me Go”, featuring Dylan in white face.
