This guy was better than elvis, he just wasn't as cute.🤣

His explanation makes complete sense. It wasn’t because he went electric, it’s because it sounded like trash. I mean, fair enough. I’m a Dylan fan and his electric stuff didn’t get good until he refined it with The Band, and The Band was frankly miles ahead in terms of skill when it came to that.

Thank you so much for educating me. I'm 60 and until I saw A Complete Unknown, I had no clue. Thank God I lived to find out. My Grandad raised me and listened to Johnny Cash (I was Beatles, Doors, Stranglers, Jam and Bob etc) but I had no idea of the overlap. Thanks again. I've subscribed as I'm embarrassed about my ignorance and hope to learn more ❤

Cooler than cool!

George Harrison was a huge fan of Perkins and you can hear it all over the early Beatles stuff. Perkins doesn't get the recognition of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee but he was just as big as they were at the time and he was a little ahead of them on the curve. Of course, nobody did more to expand the world of rock and roll than Little Richard but even he has to tip his hat to the early legwork (literally) that Perkins did.

I'm so glad I got to see Pete live a number of times. What a fantastic human being! ❤❤❤

Carl is the man

THESE TWO LADIES ARE THE BEST SINGER THAT EVER HIT A STAGE.

Back in my dat this tune was it!

Ed Norton did a great job portraying Seeger.

Pete seeger was a great man

If anyone's curious, the ditty he's playing at the beginning as he's telling the story (starting at 0:33) is an Andantino by Matteo Carcassi, an Italian classical guitar composer from the early 1800s. I remember playing it in my Suzuki guitar classes when I was eight!

This land is corporation land now

This woman looks and sounds like the prototype for SNL's public radio ladies.

❤❤❤❤carl Perkins Very good good ❤❤❤❤

Hermosas voces 🎼🌟🎼🌟💖🎸🎸💖🌟💙

I see the cast on Linda's foot!

The most talented two people that ever existed and so few people have heard of them.

Seeger says Dylan is a great artist and then compares to the faux-indian fraud Buffy Sainte-Marie. Talk about damning with faint praise. Hilarious!

These dirtbags sugar sweetened Socialism. And sympathetic leftists in schools jumped at the chance to indoctrinate children in a heartbeat. Look folks, yes Folk Singers like Pete Seeger were greatly talented people. Beautiful sounding songs. But their intent was warped Socialism that murdered over 100 million people not inclined to dance to their tunes. The likes of Pete Seeger and his other Merry Bsnd of Singers didn’t sing for the arrested entrepreneurs of Cuba or other places were Socialist Leaders were rounding up Common folks whom owned shops & businesses. If Pete Seeger had his choice. Pretty songs aside. He would imprison anyone whom failed to march to the beat of State Socialism.

This woman interviewing is ‘schweaty balls’ woman from SNL

As a Canadian proud credit was given to Joni Mitchell.

In the recording every word is clear

The singing Cowboy. Yippie-Kai-Yey!

Pete asked for the shovel to be used right one last time, Bob brought a bulldozer.))

Buffy St Marie, another 'Fauxcahontas'.

Most of history is the attempt to make things more interesting than they actually were.

Typical of his ilk. His way is the only way and he could improve on what a genius produced.

We sang it at camp. The greatest poetry. I saw Pete Seeger when I was a prospective student at Oberlin. Absolute magic.

In my mind, Buddy Holly and Bo Diddley are the two greatest artists of the 50's and transcend all genres (Chuck Berry comes in at #3), while Carl is the greatest "rockabilly" who ever lived! EP never wrote a song in his life and certainly was no guitar player either, but Carl's songs and influence as a guitar player make him the all-time king of "cat music." Now excuse me while this ailurophile puts his cat clothes on! Yow! This was great!

Pete we always love you and Respect you for all you did for all of us.

So, can I ignore the private property signs on Springsteen's mansion?

I love Wanda Jackson and Bagel Bites so this video was pretty amazing for me ngl

Just a little over the top.

I read that comment and jumped to the song

Hilarious - you can't understand what Dylan is saying when he's playing acoustic either!

Every teenager knew what this song meant.

Love Pete. Huge amount of respect and love for this kind, decent man.

... BUT YOUR KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE IT !!!!

Love it.

I knew this song as a child but I live in Europe so it travelled well.

The will to practice.

Dizzy political views aside, Pete seems like such a nice kind man. I wish more people in the world were nice and kind.

A testimony to the human spirit. This is the guy who ran off the stage, among much younger people, at Barack Obama's inauguration, in his nineties! They don't make them like this any more.

Thank you Pete one of my favorite things to watch is you and Bruce singing this land is your land at the Obama inauguration day may God bless you

This Land is Your Land, is the new America The Beautiful!!

Her voice is haunting.
