Arlo Guthrie & Pete Seeger - Together In Concert (Live)

[@tedmiles2110]

I am lucky enough to have heard Pete in many concerts; even attending private concerts at his home. He was something special!

You were blessed, Pete was one in a billion, love him, miss him...Namaste from Canada

Simple lyrics, powerful songs. I am a new fan, I wish I could have seen him in concert. I love the interaction he had with the crowd. I know he's playing in the sky and he is making the garden grow. RIP legend.

[@catlynnearkin8825]

He was wonderful.❤RIP love Arlo too.

[@angelsonthemountain321]

Yup, watching Pete perform makes this sappy old man cry. And damn proud of it! We need Pete back.

[@ericsprado4631]

He was our mighty banjo warrior!! What a treasure to humanity.

[@kpokpojiji]

So many of these songs are even more relevant today-2023. Cannons hidden in flowers.

I was a volunteer usher at Wolf Trap from 1976-1986. Best job I never got paid for. The highlight of each summer for me was Arlo. About half of the shows had Pete join him. I'm sure I was there this evening. Awesome.

[@kimquinn7728]

Oh my gosh, the year I graduated high school. This was phenom. A few years later Pete Seeger visited and performed at the UMASS Performing Arts Center in Amherst MA. My fiance bought me tickets and I remember being amazed by the diversity of age of those attending. By the unity of the singing along. How it was warm, uplifting and everyone came away feeling they had attended something so fine. Thank you so much for uploading this.

[@clearfield2009]

me too. I fell in love with Arlo when I was 9 and saw Alice's Restaurant. I was so impressed that he would NOT sleep with the groupie. Have never fell out of love. He is really my heart. xoxo

[@davefege7863]

This was a fabulous concert. I was there sitting in the cheap seats on a blanket on the grass. What a wonderful night that was.

[@dianehenkel9088]

Pete Seeger was such a great role model and inspiration. He backed workers and not corporations. His concert tickets were not expensive. He would ask fans to bring food that was then donated to a food bank in the city he performed in.

[@clearfield2009]

he was one of god's angels my friend. xo

[@dianehenkel9088]

@@clearfield2009 We were lucky to have him in our lives to show us how we should treat others.

[@sdubon7800]

That he taught thousands of folks to play the 5-string banjo is just amazing. That he was instrumental in cleaning up the Hudson River is even more laudable.

[@arlenegage9873]

This is my time, so thankful for this time in my life! Arlo is a couple years my junior. Loved his dad and have followed his career and beautiful family!

[@ginnygrafton3058]

I've never been blessed to see Pete in concert. He influenced me a lot in my own music career. However, once I had a dream (not last night I had the strangest...) that Pete was in an old store catering to country vintage, mostly homemade wares. He sat on a stool playing his banjo and singing softly. Not wanting to bother him I looked at a table of quilts. One really pretty patchwork I began to covet, but per usual no money. I wandered around and finally headed for the door. Suddenly Pete stopped me, handed me a package and quietly left before I could thank him. Unwrapping the package I was just about knocked over...it was the very quilt I 😂admired! I had not spoken to anyone and don't think I lingered there longer than other beautiful pieces in the store. How had he known, and did he know how touched I would be? It was a very nice experience and the warm feeling lasted for a long time...and feel that way now. Thanks, Pete 😊!

[@Queenie-the-genie]

I was so fortunate to be in a small wagon with Pete and a drummer friend of mine - He was an awesome presence. And he sure did sing. 🩵🩵🩵

[@patszer8314]

I first saw this concert either in 1978 or 1979 on television and I loved it. That was my introduction to Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger. I have been searching for this concert for many years. Thank you so much for posting!

[@moonchilddave]

Roman Our story is much the same! This show was my introduction to them as well! I’d been searching for this for ages too!

[@patszer8314]

I'm so glad you shared it! Thanks again!

I recall watching it and my parents taped it on cassette. We listened to it for years. Thank you so much for posting this

[@dbradx]

Was lucky enough to see Pete & Arlo together in Toronto, I think about 1987 or '88, and what an amazing show. I remember when Arlo was about to do 'Alice's Restaurant', Pete laid down his banjo case and used it as a pillow while he stretched out on the stage to relax and listen. I grew up listening to Pete's music (parents were huge fans), and the two of them together was magical, what an evening!

[@leerutledge9099]

I saw them together at Ontario place, around the same time. Magical

This Land Is Your Land (Pete, Arlo and Shenandoah) notes: This concert is a rare gem. It may be the ONLY "complete" (or nearly so, a few songs were left out of the PBS broadcast) concert of Pete in his prime (ok, a few years after his prime), and what a great concert it is. While Pete sticks to his familiar repertoire of sing-along standards (I'm Gonna Be An Engineer being the one exception), Arlo is all over the musical map, flatpicking an Irish fiddle tune, a bluegrass flavored Beatles cover, and telling not one but two shaggy dog stories in a row, including the hilarious "origin" of Tzena Tzena (which, of course, Pete and the Weavers made famous in 1950.) The finale of Lonesome Valley and Amazing Grace is...amazing. The symbolic father/son pairing of Pete and Arlo is inspired, and Woody's ghost is clearly present as these two legendary troubadours harmonize together. - www.guitars101.com/forums/f146/%5Bdvdfull%5D-pete-seeger-arlo-guthrie-1978-08-23-vienna-va-pro-shot-686271.html

Thank you!

Love these two guys!

[@kevinshorter4849]

I worked on the television production of this concert. This was an WNET production done live for broadcast on PBS. The television production trucks were provided by Turner Broadcasting out of Atlanta, GA. I worked for Turner and worked on the engineering setup for this concert. Most of the production personnel for this concert were provided by WNET. The audio mix was by an WNET audio person or possibly someone other they contracted for this. However since they had no one familiar with the cameras on the Turner trucks, which were Norelco PC-100 full size cameras and Norelco PCP-90 hand held cameras, I ran video for this concert on the main PC-100 cameras and Ron Buchwald, a fellow Turner engineer ran video on the two PCP-90 hand held camera. It's a shame this copy of an old VHS copy is all that remains. But I'm glad at least we still have it.

Pete Seeger was my roll model when I was young. A long time ago we went to one of his concerts at Montgomy County Communiey College in Pennsylvania. The Wolf Trap Farm Park concert is my favorte.

[@rjweiland1012]

Still just amazing how a skinny guy with a banjo can put thousands of people right in his pocket in a few seconds with a few words and a few notes.

[@ZeeHilal]

That's the most amazing thing to me. I cannot express their energy is radiant and awesome

[@Wheezey1976]

What’s amazing is that it’s not perfectly apparent that Pete Seeger is Not simply a skinny fella withe a banjo using a few words & notes that puts 1000s in his pocket! When your LOVE shines it SHINES ( Arlo too)& NOTHING moves people to JOY, not pockets, faster than being in the presence of AMAZING GRACE! This is a vessel that can “Make (keep🙏)America Great” if truth be told! We can all be vessels, we 🎶HAVE A HAMMER🎶( these aren’t just a few words or notes )💝🕊🇺🇸

The joke about the Firestone tire blowout was so funny if you ever owned a set of those tires! Over forty years later not many will get it, but great situational humor.

I was there on the lawn with my family having a picnic. We saw a few of Pete and Arlo back then!

Saw Arlo in Vermont and will never forget hearing him sing Alice's Restaurant and laughing so hard .. Met Pete also.

[@clearfield2009]

They really are father and son. Arlo's father got seriously ill when Arlo was only 6. His father's friends came to the house and became close to Arlo. Pete was one of Arlo's dads.❤

[@virginiawhyte148]

Used to go with my parents to protests and concerts that actually were protests...pretty different these days. Like dad said where have all the flowers gone,? Long time ago. When will they learn, where have all the young men gone? Where have all the soldiers gone?

THIS ONE THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@calchip]

This is the cut-down one. The original airing was live, and they cut a couple of tunes. I remember, as a teenager who lived in the DC area, calling up WETA, the station that aired it, and bitching, and I ended up speaking to the actual guy who edited it. He was really nice, and explained that they had to to cut it down to meet something-or-another that the other stations they distributed to needed. Near as I know, the original never existed outside of the original broadcast.

[@lilolmecj]

Good for you making that call, it was brave for a teen.

[@piekielrl]

Yes, they cut Arlo's 15- or 20-minute talk and performance of "Reuben Clamzo" for one...

OMG was Arlo Guthrie ever this young? Of course, was _I_ ever this young??? Saw them twice, once in about 1975 at DAR Constitution Hall (OMG a Commie plays Constitution Hall?) and the other time at Wolf Trap, although it couldn't have been this concert because I wasn't living in the DC area at the time. I remember Arlo's comic monologue being based around a mysterious sea creature, a clam named Ruben, which morphed into the sea chanty "Ruben Ramso" sung as "Ruben Clamso."

[@margaretmcinroe265]

Big time grassroots social activist masters of the genre which is still evolving. That the Guthries are still very active in honring the legacies of Pete Seeger, Woody and Lomaxes is stealth commitment that has somehow been completely and maliciously not protected by NY State legislature who probably has raked in billions of dollars from the legacy of the Eco Arts culture that gave birth to Woodstock not to even mention the legacy of the Lomax recordings on Rock & Roll. I met John Lomax briefly in 1993 in the elevator of his Global Jukebox office at 450 W41st St NYC which was also the Hunter College MFA campus. Pete Seeger joined the Guthries, Odetta along a performance at the Alan Lomax tribute at Cooper Union's Great Hall was pure magic. Sadly the CUNY building has been abandon for years slumified by NY State along with their entire legacy of Arts, Culture and Environmental activism...Thanks for reading, listening and sharing these stories. #savemusicstreet

Re; Originally 90 minutes - PBS doesn't have commercials but things like this were often broadcast during "Pledge week" which made for a lot of commercial like interruptions. (Do they still do that? I haven't watched broadcast TV in ages, via cable or over the air)

Maybe this got edited out because of pledge breaks, and this is another of the Live from Wolf Trap Specials(2 and a half hour broadcasts) part of PBS' August 1978 Pledge Fundraising Campaign, including it aired at that same time on KPBS San Diego and then cut it down in a 90 minute broadcast for future pledge campaigns in the 1980's!
