RIP Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014), aged 94 And RIP Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003), aged 71 You both will be remembered as legends.
JC was always ballsy w his guest choices on this series, but - frankly - spotlighting a man whom many of his audience (and studio execs) considered a flat-out Commie (Uncle Pete, rilly?), took a whole 'nother commitment. He got cancelled. But Johnny lived and died true to his heart. Bless them both. I dunno, what color fist bump ya want? Same fist. Color matters on ya?
Never got the chance to meet but he touched the lives of so many across so many generations. I found deep comfort in his music during the pandemic and election.
Had never occurred to me to play any musical instrument, until I heard Pete on his 5-String 55 years ago. Immediately rushed out and found one, and became a compulsive addict :) Thank you Pete !
This is great. Pete Seeger is the ultimate folksinger. The anniversary of his death was a few days ago, also my birthday (which is insignificant). He is on my short list of historical people I would like to have dinner with. What a talent. He always stuck up for what he believed. Pete crushed this song.
I first heard Pete in the 1960's when my sister played a borrowed vinyl album of a Carneige Hall performance he did. I was inspired enough to start playing and have done so ever since and have collected a huge library of his original vinyl albums. A humble guy who was kind enough to reply to a letter I wrote him asking for some guidance on one of his songs. Sadly missed, but never forgotten.
Pete Seeger and the one and only JRCASH together on one stage. Boy this was legendary . This was great great music right there and a great Moment in music history. /CD
Grew up singing along with Pete - what an incredible man and amazing folk musician. He was persecuted and blacklisted for his socialist views and support of civil rights for all. I believe Johnny Cash fought to have him on his show and begin to turn the tide. We need a voice like Pete’s today!
My older sister and I grew up listening to Pete Seeger’s songs, I remember watching his two appearances on the Smother Brothers show and I could go on and on…including watching him play and singing This Land is Our Land when Obama was elected….
You have, you just didn't know his name. This land is your land is his most famous song. But its always so funny to me how everyone pretends he wasn't an anarcho-syndicalist socialist.
@@davidf798 just curious how you think socialism was different back then to you? I know how it’s changed (less about taking over govt and more about worker co-ops) but I’m actually a socialist.
@@davidf798 I’m familiar with the differences between the “old” & “new” left. Appreciate your clarification. I’d consider myself more of an old type. A libertarian socialist who would prefer to see a worker co-op sector created to compete with the already existing private & public sector. A worker co-op to me is true socialism (workers collectively & democratically running/operating the workplace).
This was beautiful. I miss both of these giants. I never saw Johnny. But in the late 1980s or early 90s I saw Pete and Arlo in a small theater on a rotating stage. That was a magical moment.
My God, this was/ismagic. I hope everyone realizes just how magical, groundbreaking, and just damn good John's show really was! It brought all ages together with one simple thing ....music. God bless him, he was a GIANT.
@Tommy Peterson oh! and Im pretty sure he also had a swastika tattooed on each of his balls! Turns out you can live in a real cool reality when you just make things up! Fun!
God bless the humble artist that can share the millstone and plight of his common man, and make it a pebble, can make him forget his trouble to know that all things in their moment can be overcome.
Incredible that he was already 50 years old at this time singing here being born in 1919 because he appears as youthful and energetic as someone in their 20's here.
I am from France, I would have seen these two people and sing with in za concert ! ( I learnt about them at School in the beginning of seventies). I was in a Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen in Paris
But why has so much of the performance been cut out of this video? At the 1:59 mark, where the camera switches from behind the pair to in front, almost 2 minutes have been cut from the performance as it was broadcast. There should be another verse ["I asked that judge…"], another round of the chorus, and more banter at the audience before they launch into "I looked down that track…"
It seems oddly edited .. it doesn’t even seem like the audience is real from the back shots! And the whole thing just doesn’t seem right. I was thinking AI ..
this is like a meeting of Titatnic Singer Songwriters Johnny was never Country he was Americana same as Pete Seeger carrying on the legacy of Woody Guthire
Would really love to know who's harp incantation that there is at the end... Someone special sittin' in the wings, or was it just added as an afterthought before airing?

My life is a little bit richer now for having watched this.
We miss ya, Johnny.
Even I'm not american I love these guys so much. Two legends. ❤

And
RIP Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003), aged 71
You both will be remembered as legends.
That deserves a respectful hell yea
@@Redneck_productions08I’ll back that up
I'd *no* idea that they'd ever performed together. This is magical.
Check the Rainbow Show. Johnny Cash was pinging. With June Carter.
@@peternicholson233 Johnny is high as a kite on that episode lol

Let's go rainbow solidarity...
👊👊🏼👊🏾👊🏿
rainbow tv show boss
Gold. Their voices are so complementary.
I met Pete Seeger as 14 year old, with my father. What a humble, gracious man he was. Such a great soul.
Never got the chance to meet but he touched the lives of so many across so many generations. I found deep comfort in his music during the pandemic and election.
Buen sonido y duo
@@manuelcartagena6962
de seguro ☺️
Now I'm getting totally emotional. God loves Pete 🎻 Seeger and 🎸 Johnny Cash.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
One of the Greatest Balladeers in American History - sadly missed - yet his legacy here on RUclips and elsewhere lives on
Had never occurred to me to play any musical instrument, until I heard Pete on his 5-String 55 years ago. Immediately rushed out and found one, and became a compulsive addict :) Thank you Pete !
I love the wholesome way he engages with the crowd
They're playing for an audience of angels now. 🪕
One of the greatest folk singers with country's greatest star, this is a terrific historical clip. Amazing that it has not dated at all.
Never heard a worried song that made me so happy!

He was great 👍
Genius
And what a song and we got j cash aswell , it don’t get better than that
Perfect! Number 33 of my personal "1001 Corona Songs"...
This duo is almost too good to be true! Pete and Johnny...it doesn’t get any better than this!
Cash did it with a lot of good singers. That's all :)
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. He has alzeimers now and can't remember it but I always will.❤
Love the way JC walked into the scene.
Two saints of Music.
Saint Pete Seeger and Saint Johnny Cash.
Yes 💙💜

Pete Seeger is like Bob Ross with a banjo
Most accurate comparison I've ever heard

Too bad no one thought to bring Maybelle and her daughters out to contribute to the song. The Original Carter Family recorded it back in the 1930s.
Remember when Pete led the audience at Boston Symphony Hall in "Amazing Grace". It was beyond amazing.

And a man like Johny Cash
Hear hear

How the hell have I not heard of Pete Seeger until now?. The mans a quality act and I'll certainly be going through his back catalogue.
You have, you just didn't know his name. This land is your land is his most famous song. But its always so funny to me how everyone pretends he wasn't an anarcho-syndicalist socialist.
@@alejandrorivas4585 Woody Guthrie wrote this land is your land
Look up "suwanee river" and "micheal row the boat ashore" (the live version) by pete seeger.

@Tommy Peterson So Pete was even better.
@Tommy Peterson communist =/= stalinist. not even close.
@Tommy Peterson No. Are you an ignorant fascist?
@Tommy Peterson oh! and Im pretty sure he also had a swastika tattooed on each of his balls! Turns out you can live in a real cool reality when you just make things up! Fun!
Pete blew it away wow
Two of the legendary greats.
Thanks

50 is not old at all.
50 was nothing pete kept going till the 21st century
Pete outlived Johnny by a decade! Dude definitely had longevity
I had no idea this thing existed! Most awesome effing thing I've seen in a long time!
Woooow Two Great Singer and Legends!❤💜
Hammer die beiden!
" this machine surrounds hate an forces it to surrender"- Pete seegers banjo.
We’re all singing a worried song right now. Stay strong and safe, love y’all.
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations
M
What a great combination.
Masters together!
Seeger then a dash of cash ,effing brilliant
probably one of the best walking songs I know... ramblin around from town to town... singing for nickels and dimes
Amazing. And the crowd got into it, big time!
Two legends ♥
My oh my !!! Thisd is a jewel !
Two big hearts, two fantastic musicians! God bless! I
I am from France, I would have seen these two people and sing with in za concert ! ( I learnt about them at School in the beginning of seventies).
I was in a Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen in Paris
Great, so great. We been lucky to know them.
Pete Seeger was a beautiful soul, I wonder what the great man would think of what’s going on today.
A Stalinist monster
Oh dear, you came here to listen to a Stalinist monster! Weird.
He'd go straight to IWW HQ and offer his services.
FOREVER GREAT IN THE EYES OF GOD
This is just beautiful
2 of my favorites 👏🏻
Thanks Johnny and Pete for cheering me up in 2020
Legends never die.
Wow, just wow!! Two of my very favorites together. Amazing! Thanks.
Outstanding !!
It doesn't get any better than Pete and JR.
Agree entirely.
Johnny loved America, but he was passionate about people being free to express their opinion.
So he was a racist, bigot, Islamophobic, Trumpist
@@siliyemoodislam ...what..?
@@thatpickingguy look up send those nwords back. He wad racist as fuck
@@raak4070 that wasn’t by him moron
@@thatpickingguy he is obliquely making reference to Pete being a hardcore socialist.
Classic golden music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶still fresh makes me 😊
1:41 When the legend marches in!
I was playing this song and thinking about Pete Seeger just this week!
Bummer
I WAS JUST ABOUT READY TO COMPLAIN THAT JOHNNY CASH WASN'T ON THIS VIDEO AND THEN HE FINALLY POPPED UP
Man if this doesn't uplift the piss out of me.
Great ..? Means it won't be going all over my foot...
Pete Seeger AND Johnny cash...
Straight from Above
My two biggest influences
Just today I hear Van Morrison sing this.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song , but I worried long, twenty nine links to my chain. Looked down the track as for as I could see.
Shits powerful dude
Hammer!
Ja absolut....👍

Hope your not talkin' bout red dog pete??

very nice
Very good.
Powerful. great tune. Any one know if the whole show is available in this quality?
this is like a meeting of Titatnic Singer Songwriters Johnny was never Country he was Americana same as Pete Seeger carrying on the legacy of Woody Guthire
It takes, well, track, song.
Devo and the Human Highway movie (Neil Young) brought me here.
I look down the track just as far I can see
Would really love to know who's harp incantation that there is at the end...
Someone special sittin' in the wings, or was it just added as an afterthought before airing?
have no idea, but...my ears tell me it sounded a lot like Sonny Terry...who knows ?
Classical.
Fantastico
goosebumps
Great
Nice
kheyli khoob.
Thanks Volvo
シェアさせて戴きます。
At the ryman baby!!!!!
I thought that was the Ryman! I've only been to two concerts there.. but I thought that was it!
@@peachbellini2615 That was before it was restored. It looks a lot better now.
And of course Johnny
Ist das geil
Pete panicked when Dylan when electric at Newport.
