Arlo Guthrie/ Amazing Grace

[@jcripp7974]

This man has been this man his whole life. Amazing grace. Arlo is one of the ups in the world. God bless him

[@RobertJohnson-gk2gj]

I was passing through Eugene Oragon , many years ago. I didn’t have any money on me because Oragon didn’t have any ATM’s yet. So me and my friend stopped by the Salvation Army that serves meals. While waiting outside, we had seen a train pull into town & people had jumped off and came to this place. Before the dinner, everyone sat through a church service. A lot of torn & taddered people all around. When it came time to sing , everyone sang this song, I closed my eyes, it was as good as any church singing could sound across the land, but a place full of Hobo’s! God was there. May I never forget it. Amen. We will see you again Arlo

That is a beautiful story. 😊

[@judythompson8227]

never weary of this dude. He's funny, careful, and generous with his talent and himself. I love this guy.

[@arlosurgenor6588]

Honoured to be named after this wonderful man. Mum and dad were big fans, as am I.

[@susandpitts]

Woody Guthrie was a National Icon. And Arlo carries on where his dad left off. 💙💙💙💙

[@terriecotham1567]

Like his father a true leader and story Teller and heroe Someone who can make someone forget the troubles of the day or bring back memories of the past Or make someone dream of things to come.

[@claracarpenter8913]

Love this version. Amazing Grace was written in 1772 and published in 1779 by an Anglican clergyman who had been in the slave trade. He learned his lesson and changed his life. Thus, we have this song. At first it was recited in church and then it was set to music with about twenty different melodies. The version we usually hear today was written in 1835 by William Walker. It is said to be perhaps the most well-known folk song around the world.

[@bethbenditt803]

Thank you for the history behind the song!

[@daren8875]

The movie about this slavery trader turned anti- slavery person is very moving! Thank God people can see the light and change!

[@Skyhors3]

The tune was known to captured Africans, uttered below decks in their hour of desperation.

[@pamgoodloe-finney]

Thank you for the information .🤗🙏

[@ruthpaul7572]

Thanks for the history of this song I love this version

[@pamgoodloe-finney]

I'm so glad I found this! Arlo Guthrie is a great storyteller!🤗❤🙏

I come here to chill. He has that effect...

[@MessyTimes]

Arlo is one of my favorite neighbors, here in the Last Free State in America, Florida. Great man, living a great life.

[@rondamullins8831]

I have loved his music almost forever. Ever since I was a kid. No one holds a candle to Arlo. I love this!

[@robin4400]

How can you help but love Arlo Guthrie? I can listen for hours. God Bless you Arlo

[@debbiehenry2651]

❤ my favorite hymn. Thanks Arlo

[@rogerwright1902]

Thank you, Arlo. I've been a fan for 50 years, and I loved your Dad's music as well. God bless you for all that your music has given us.

[@judythompson5253]

he's a class act, right down to his shoes.

[@lorilandtexas5180]

Arlo has no idea how he has changed the world. Í would have died one night until Arlo made me laugh. And that kept me alive

[@poemstogothefirst]

You said it.

[@seanlonergan1202]

I can’t help about remember 16 years ago, November, a young boy playing this for me with his harmonica in a dark time in a hospital ICU waiting room as he waited for his grandfather to pass. Amazingly, Arlo spoke in this video what the young boy knew then. In a world so troubled a small smile or hug or a song on a harmonica could make a difference in this world to a troubled person. Amazing Grace.

[@marypulley6512]

This is pure talent. Any one who can talk about a subject different from the song he is playing, and without making mistakes on his beautiful hymn. He is saying some truths

[@richardkougasian7866]

That is the magic that is Arlo. His Daddy's son. He's getting older now. It concerns me to no end who will carry the torch for the future. All the folk artists from the 50's and 60's have either died or aged out of performing. I realize it's a different world now. I just don't want to live in it.

[@richardkougasian7866]

Agreed with much

[@richardkougasian]

All grand.

[@clearfield2009]

Love this man full stop ❤❤❤

[@rachelnixon4266]

Arlo has made the world a better place.

[@barbararoyal6139]

Once again…thank you Arlo🎼🕊️

[@ajidimo1]

I got to meet Arlo last fall after a concert, he was exactly as I imagined him being such a down to earth person with an authentic liking for everyone that was around. I now have an autographed LP in a frame hanging on my wall which is now my pride and joy...even over the unopened Roy Orbison LP! What a great person and family he has!

[@roscoeclark5974]

This is what the real people are truly About.Its all about the Spirit of Sharing ones Good Gift past down through Music. Thanks Arlo !&Peace

[@claudiajames891]

Lucky you! 🙂

[@SteffiPilzRanchurlaub]

Same here... I met Arlo at Berlin, when I visited my friend Billy Bragg. This was a very special moment for me.

[@ronaldgoebel2174]

Arlo and Pete, thank you for all the good times and the great music. Awesome my friends!

[@TheCSTERN]

Every Thanksgiving Arlo & Pete Seeger would do a concert at Carnegie Hall, never missed any concert. I lived 3 houses down from Woody in Coney Island. I worked for the sister of Alice who was a baker for a great Park Slope gourmet store.

[@terriecotham1567]

Was way too young You must have some amazing memories

[@pcontiman]

Arlo, you are a gift. thank you for all the smiles

[@WhizeCracker]

"I don't mean to be talk'n so much" Arlo, your talk'n is as great as your sing'n. God Bless You, Sir.

[@hollywilliams11]

Arlo Guthrie has been an inspiration to me for decades. I lived at home and played "Alice's Restaurant" on my record player so much my father knew the words and "sang/spoke" along. Arlo, between you and me, I've loved your music more then anyone else's. I gotta tell you this because I doubt I I will ever have the privilege of seeing you anywhere but on KZbin. When I don't get life I listen to your music, whether it be Alices's Restaurant Massacre or the Motorcycle song , Garden Song, Amazing Grace, and especially, because the way it was presented, Can't help falling in love with you. I love you so much. You have given me so much joy. Thank you!!!

[@Dave-zl2ky]

They played this song at my Dad's funeral and they will play it at mine. Why? Because it means something. A great deal.

[@arthurclark8590]

What an Amazing, graceful stream of kindness and love! Right on time Arlo!

[@21peartree]

I love Arlo. He is an awesome musician, story teller and humanitarian. He so inspritional. And I love his hair;

I love watching these videos. They bring me joy. And hope. Thank you Arlo!

[@arlenegage9873]

[@sylviahildebrant6037]

between the story telling and singing of songs that everyone seems to know, there's a light heartedness that makes you love arlo. so glad I found him on KZbin bc he is special.

[@Stephanie-q2i]

O my life that harmonica had me full!

[@michaellunburg8567]

Arlo is a national treasure.

I loved this song long before it became everybody's favorite. I still love it.

[@michaelscody]

Arlo always told a wonderful story, both in his music and in his songs

[@bethbenditt803]

Love the storytelling during the song, especially about how everyone around the world being one big family... that's the way it should be ‼️

[@mtchair4me]

This song will always be relevant because it a universal message. Timeless in its message to all that will follow. Take head children and remember the teaching of those who are old and have experienced the world and learned the worlds lessons.

Absolutely beautiful, I play blues harmonica and know how difficult this is to play slow, well done Arlo!!!!!!!😎👍🎶🎶🎵🎶

[@karenkolbin]

I met you, Arlo. We sat together with you at a Holiday Inn back in 1980 when you told me that the name of Jesus meant nothing at all when it was compared to what you have believed once about JESUS. Like when you and James Taylor were writing a song together and every time that Name was written "look down on me Jesus help me make a stand" I reminded you, Arlo.. when you told me that you could have just said "Asparagus" and it would have been the same as if you had written JESUS I asked you "What if Asparagus was playing tonight? Not "Arlo" but "Asparagus" who would have shown up ? you agreed back then. Or did you? It took us 4 hours of sorting this all out according to common sense. We did hug each other and agree in the end.. and I guess you may have gotten it? Amazing GRACE? Why would any of us need that?

[@karenkolbin]

all that being said.. We love you very much.. For us it's not about religion or politics. It's about TRUTH.. Reality and genuine faith in JESUS.. I think you told us then that is how your wife was holding on while raising so many children without you being present to help her. How you wanted most to be a good husband and father. Like most of us "peasants" right?

[@SuperGreyhawk]

Great song and Great Message. Thanks Arlo Guthrie.

[@katebc9148]

Woody and I are in the same generation. Your dad and you Arlo have a lot in common and how wonderful for us! Thank you for your pearls of wisdom, for your little snippets of life and reminders that we are on a journey, sharing with one another, just working our way home. May we all find solace, especially now, in remembering our shared journeys and the importance of the human spirit. Your dad no doubt is looking down, seeing us scrambling to keep our democracy and eradicate fascism.

[@andrewpeer7362]

If this world didn’t suck you would have to go along way to make a difference. Best thing I heard all week

[@Sam-zc8if]

"It's a bring your own God church." One of my favorite lines ever.

[@FlatMarble]

I love this song and the story you tell, Mr. Guthrie. It reminds me when I went to church, as a kid 14 or 15, on our holler. There was this old guy that would be there and I would always go early to talk with him, before church started. He always had old wore out clothes on and most times smelled like he hadn't taken a bath in a few days. He had his old beat up guitar and he would always play me "Wildwood Flower". He could play that as good as any musician I ever heard. Whenever church would get ready to start I would try to get him to go inside, with me, and listen to the Preachers and singers. But, he never would. I guess he thought they didn't want him in there cause he had worn out clothes and didn't smell very good. I went inside sat down and started listening to them. But, I couldn't shake the feeling that the church was some how less than full. So, I went back outside and sat with him on the porch and we listened to them from there. I would usually go on Saturday nights and he was usually there. I would always talk with him and listen to the preaching and singing with him to. This has been on my mind, lately, and I'm gonna write a song about it. Cause there's nothing else I can do. I believe he's in Heaven now and not having to deal with all his pain. Once again, thanks for singing this song and telling that story, Mr. Guthrie. Every time I listen to it I end up crying. May God bless you and your family. Gene Bellamy

We’ll, Arlo, it was 1973 in Boulder when you played Tulagi theater on The Hill. The place was so packed a bunch of us were seated on the floor right in front of the small stage.

We saw Arlo Guthrie in Pampa Tx, on the anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, 100 years before. He sang Woody's songs. So many songs. We had a wonderful night. Thanks

[@frankely6378]

I had the pleasure of seeing him in a little club called Bogarts in Cincinnati (a few hundred people at the time and 2 bars) in 1978. He closed the show with this, and everyone in the place was on their feet singing along. The show also included a full length rendition of Alice's Restaurant, which he didn't do very often back then. An awesome time was had by all there. As others have said, a national treasure that everyone should see.
