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

[@Johnboy33545]

Thank you. I'm an old man, 74, I've seen all of these folks but Country Joe and Rambling Jack. Oh, of course Woody. Tears and wonderful memories are flowing. Proud old Hippie. Love and Peace to all.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Odetta's voice is a thing of beauty.

[@philsooty61]

Woody Guthrie tragically died but his music lives on for ever!

[@maryalice5357]

The mark of a great folk song is that you learned history, geography, economics and most importantly humanity. A WONDERFUL way for young people to remember and feel their ancestors.

An unexpected Sunday afternoon treat. The best of the best honoring one of their own.

Thanks. What a treat.

What a treasure! Just stumbled across this WGuthrie- tribute! Amazing sound without plugged instruments except the one electric guitar!

[@001101011010]

Thank you for posting this! We need heroes like these today more than ever.

[@richardmanx]

Amazing simply amazing thankfully this session was filmed an saved thanks who's ever did this

[@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.

[@robertzofall7288]

Man , all these good people. I wish we had the same impact now.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

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.

[@tikipaddy]

What a great concert, thanks for posting it. Woody makes me proud to be an Okie. I graduated from Okmulgee High School in 1971 just about 30 miles from Okemah. Don't know how many times I drove by those three water towers you could see from Interstate 40 that were painted one saying HOT, one said Cold and the other said Home of Woody Guthrie !

[@tomsoule1366]

😂I love the water tower story. I spent 3 months in OKC one summer for the FAA air traffic control training. Friendlier people you could never find!

[@lurissamarston7793]

what a wonderful find for me this morning! I have seen Arlo, Ramblin' Jack and Pete Seeger at Newort FF a number of times, except for Joan, who appeared in Newport for the 50th anniversary at which I was present and feeling blessed. My soul and heart are full of all their music this morning.

amazing! I have treasured audio from part of this concert, recorded over the air in the 80s. I had no idea video existed! Thank you for posting!!

OMG This was so good l almost cried..... My thanks to all involved in putting this tribute together

[@shable1436]

This is great, reminded me of my tours with famous musicians. I was always the guy in the back, no lights on me, and playing as lightly as possible to accentuate the persons people paid to see. I miss it, but i don't

[@Mile8461]

With the sage, inspired wisdom of Guthrie’s words and music providing the backdrop on stage here is a collection of greats, many of whom have provided the soundtrack to my life…

[@mousiebrown1747]

Richie Havens is spectacular, as usual. He’s so great to watch playing & singing

Dad was before my time but Alice's Restuarant was a start of my music journey. Great Tribute,thank's from B.C,Canada.

I have this concert on long playing record, but I have never before seen this footage, and it is wonderful.

[@karlsearson3791]

Just fabulous. Beautiful and full of pathos!

[@phildavison9100]

Woody's mother prayed that he would be .. a man of some renown. Wish she could have seen that he became the greatest American in history. Bar none.

[@robinhood480]

Thanks for sharing. All great in their own way.... Pete and Arlo of course really stand out.

[@niallmac44]

They all look so goddamn YOUNG; even Pete. Ah, I still think the 60s were yesterday.

[@manni62]

Ha ha

[@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.

[@troubadourtr56]

i was there. i was 15 and the year prior had read Bound For Glory and found the Lomax Library of Congress interview. I loved every minute of this concert.

[@StephanZaugg]

Not to compare to cntemporary songs and singers. A real jewel of musical history. Thank you.

[@johnroberts4078]

wow i barely remember seeing many of these great stars at the ashgrove, whisky et al.....thanks for the memories

[@vincentlocascio7196]

What a wonderful concert this was I was lucky enough to make pizza here when he was 89 years old. I don’t want every month to his house to split wood with him and do enjoy meals with him and his family. What a wonderful experience I was so lucky. I also another plate is bones in his Bacons lk club I sure do miss those times they were some of the happiest times of my life, recipes, busier and all of us your people Richie Havens are not here anymore. Thank you for the good as you put on this earth, thank you.

[@garyswanson7718]

In ‘64. I was just out of the Army, staying with my cousin in Rosemont, PA, when I met Rambln’ Jack. After a while I asked Jack if he could arrange for me to meet Woody. He made a call, and said Wody was very ill and didn’t want any visitors, so there went my only chance to meet the great Woody.Guthrie .

[@sabinchich999]

Good times 👍😉

[@StevenMichals0812]

I have seen Arlo in concert more than anyone else, tied with Dylan at 5 times.

That’s a trip to see Will Geer all shaved up! I didn’t recognize him, then I heard his voice an thought, his voice sounds so familiar an then saw his name an put 2&2 together, THE WALTONS! An I was born in the 1970’s an watching reruns of that show constantly. That’s cool that he was hanging with the young musicians from back then! An didn’t Peter Fonda die kinda young?

[@Farmerjomama]

I know. I did kind of a double take but that voice is definitely familiar.🎶😀

[@jeffbachman]

Fonda died a couple of years ago at 79. Will Geer was a labor and justice advocate in his own right and hung with Woody and Pete back in the day. He was a victim of the Hollywood blacklist in the 50s.

Very nice to see all the good people; somewhat disappointed, no Bob Dylan in sight.

[@squeakystool]

+ Dylan was in sight on Jan 20th 1968 at Carnegie Hall; backed by the Band, they played three Woody Guthrie songs "Grand Coulee Dam," "Dear Mrs. Roosevelt," and "I Ain't Got No Home." The benefit concert was Dylan's idea; this performance was his first in two years; other performers on the bill Ramblin Jack, Odetta, Pete Seeger, Judy Collins.

...lets'all Echo Woody's thunder...even if'u got'2 steal'it......amen

[@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.

[@LarryMcLarnon]

Bob Dylan certainly performed at one of these tribute concerts to woodie. Check it out

Woody took my mother and her friend out for dinner in NY in 1945.

Who was the idiot who heckled and yelled out in the middle of the song. He was probably an alcoholic and died in prison.
