Woody Guthrie All-Star Tribute Concert 1970 | Rare Music Archive Footage | Amplified

[@AmplifiedMusicDocs]

What do you think made Woody Guthrie such a powerful influence on generations of folk musicians? Such as Bob Dylan 🤔

[@bwanna23]

His dedication to working people and the common good attracted like-minded musical artists of the time.

I understand as I am a 76-year old hippie who first heard Woody in the 60's. Gdamn, how young Arlo looks. I am about his age, geez I must have looked young too.

[@gregchristensen3533]

Turned 70 a few months ago. Fell in love with folk music around 1967, just as it was evolving into folk rock. It never left. It’s still here in a wide variety of artists, both large and small. It’s a rich legacy.

[@carolerichoux4891]

@@gregchristensen3533 yes, a very rich legacy!!! Saw Dylan and Joan Baez in concert at a place called The Warehouse in New Orleans located on a street next to the Mississippi River in the mid to late 60's.

[@SetemkiaFawn]

We had a weekend house just around the corner and up the mountain from where the weekly concerts wound up happening. I can remember all the things that happened. I'm 70 but I still remember. I remember meeting Pete later on but that was in California. I was older. I was with my father but we both enjoyed meeting him. This brings back some of the memories For me. I remember when Pete changed the thrust of the way his houseboat would be used and it became the Clearwater sloop. The Hudson River was so filthy it was disgusting and the clear water can a truly monumental job lifting awareness? + Lifting support. Eventually we got the Hudson River cleaner than it was when the Europeans first came to these shores.

[@letsif]

These are my nostalgic childhood camp songs. Brings back memories of sitting around the campfire roasting hot dogs and marshmallows while the councilors led us in song. Pete Seeger used to visit my camp "Naivelte"(New World ),in Yiddish, located in Brampton Ontario Canada. Pete would often drop into various socialist children's camps along the eastern seaboard and infuse the proceedings with optimism and learning's about ideals and principles that seem to be missing these days. Long live Pete and Woody up there somewhere keeping the tradition alive. We still have Bob though....

[@gudlisner501]

Pete Seeger looks and sounds ecstatic, totally in his element. Good on ya Pete.

[@johnr8820]

Wow amazing footage. Fantastic. Kind of bummed Dylan and the Band weren’t in the footage though…Dylan’s rendition of Dear Mrs. Roosevelt is incredible. Would’ve loved to see that live.

I was there. Amazing show - I was a college student then. There was a similar show in NYC with some of the same performers and some different ones. I never met Arlo (darn it!) but I met his Mom, Marjorie, a few years later. Lovely woman. I didn't remember her walking onstage with the baby at this show - awww.

[@kathleenscarborough5481]

I interviewed Arlo while in college and got to speak to him again 40 plus years later. And Ritchie Havens and Pete Seeger-just the best!

[@michaelkastner3611]

Thank you so much for putting this up here. These people have been an inspiration for me for almost all of my life. Ever since I've first heard the record. I feel the utmost gratitude towards Arlo, Joan and Pete. I don't agree much with their politics. But it's the spirit of humanity that counts for me. While I'm at it, in late summer 2013 my wife and I rode through by Beacon, NY on a road trip and decided to stop there to have a look at the Clearwater Sloop, which wasn't in the marina that day (but the Woody Guthrie was). Anyway, when we were walking through Beacon, we actually spotted Pete on his way to the post office. I never understood, why Pete had never really acknowledged where his convictions had gone the wrong direction. But as Pete was walking maybe 40 feet ahead of us, he noticed a dirty paper tissue right next to the curb. Despite his age he picked it up, put it in a little plastic bag, which he had pulled from his pocket, and walked on. What I've read about Pete, that's the kind of person he was. I miss him and his music.

[@benandemmasmom]

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

There were 2 tribute concerts, one East Coast (NYC Carnegie Hall) and one West Coast (LA). Dylan was at the East Coast one - because that's where he was. Both were released on albums. There are some audio clips from the NY one on YT. Both concerts were charity fundraisers, and the success of the first (NY) probably convinced some powers that be that it would be good to video the second one. I think it eventually got shown on some PBS stations and years later was put on DVD.
