NATIONAL TREASURE! Still kicking and still WORKING!!! People think the Stones are so amazing because they are still touring, but check it out when THEY are in their '90's.........Nothing against the Stones but I mean can they do that? LOL
I just really love this performance. what great acoustic guitar sounds with that hacksaw voice - it doesn't get any more real. i believe what he is telling me
Everyone, he's still alive and travels with a great group of others who take the stage as openers/support. He's the real deal, he sings songs cool as a cucumber, that choke me up. He a living legend. He opens the Noe Valley music series in SF every January.
I heard Jack do two sets at the old Chequered Flag in Austin, Texas, about 1968. What a performance! His album “Young Brigham” had just been released. I had just started playing guitar, and I learned every song on that album. It’s still one of my favorites.
Sorry...this is from the one and only master tape of the performance. It's a miracle the master tape survived at all. I saved my tape from the hot storage locker at the TV station that sponsored the gig and did my best to restore and remaster it a bit before putting it here and storing it on a hard drive.
Ah, yes...Ramblin' Jack. Redding Community Access. Prism Music Society. Old City Hall. The good old days...What a delight to discover this video! Love and Blessings to all who were there and all who are still around. Dan
Martha and I are still around, Dan, but we're in Oregon since 2013. Oaksongs had a longer run in Redding than your (our) Prism did, but folded up their tent last year, for the same reason: volunteer burnout. Trying to reconstruct what year you and Jaine started Prism.
I am just learning about Ranblin" Jack Elliot and am so inspired by him. I'm an 60 year old singer songwriter who just took it public in the past few years. I would love my live show to have a Rambling Jack feel to it. I don't want to copy him per se but I would love to combine the storytelling and music the way he does. He is a role model for what I want to do in my own way on stage. Thanks for posting this amazing performance by this icon of folk.
Had the immense joy of meeting Jack at an obscure little venue in Topanga Canyon California around 2005 and I swear I didn't think he was gonna survive the night. More than ten years later and he's still kickin' an' singin' !!
Well thanks for your work sir, this is truly a gem. Saw Jack a few years ago at chicago blues fest and when he started to play house of the rising sun the clouds opened and downpoured on us. Amazing time.
Yup. He ran away from all that. Couldn't stand it. And became everything he wanted to be, authentically. Cowboy, sailor, truck driver, he mastered all the skills - he really did. It's not just a mask.
I' have started to watch this this video a few times bookmarked and moved on tonight I am in the mood to watch the lot and it's fucking incredible thanks for posting.Nearly got to see Jack a good few years back in Mallow Ireland but he was unable to make the show
I saw him there in '66 I think. He was probably there more than once. Ihad forgotten the name of the club. Thanks for the reminder. He was great the night I saw him.
One of the best 912 Greens available - I have seen Jack in various coffee houses and venues for the better part of 35 years in the San Francisco Bay Area - 912 Greens is by far my favorite!!! I am from Louisiana. I took pictures of the Jax Brewery when it was still there and also 912 Toulouse Street in the 70's and gave them to Jack at some time in the late 70's or 80's.
This is a treasure! Where can I download a copy? I learned to play guitar by listening to his records over the past 45 years (and I am 57!)... Wow, thank you! Words don't do it justice. THANK YOU!!
I wish RJE would write and record more of his own music. If I wanted to hear Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly, I can listen to them. RJE tells such great stories, he doesn't need anybody else's material.
Bob and Ramblin Jack lived together for a while. Rambliin had been around a long time before Bob showed up. Think maybe Bob did a bit of stealing from Jack. Who cares anyway they are both fantastic entertainers
Beatnik, cowboy, hippy, whatever--Ramblin' Jack is a living legend emulated by cowboys all through the land. Perhaps, Arnie, you've gone too deep into your "own mind". Lighten up, partner.
Funny how when Donovan started out, he was labled as a British Bob Dylan, when he was merely doing the same thing as Dylan, which was Rambling Jack Elliot. Dylan of course knew this. Funny how folk bring up his middle class status as if it makes him fake somehow? Townes Van Zandt was from a ridiculously wealthy family also and turned his back on it, which imo takes some bottle. A modern version would be the late David Berman whose father was the DC lobbyist Richard Berman or Dr Evil, who also lived a life of relative poverty compared to what he could have had.
Oh and Ramblin.......he was Woody. Ask Arlo, Woody's son who learned Woody from Ramblin, because his father told him 'Ramblin does me better than I do me.'
Ashley Shaffer Jack's father was a dentist in Brooklyn. He had a very privileged upbringing. He fell in love with the "cowboy thing" and decided to become one.
Saw Jack twice in NYC and once in Cologne/Germany. I loved every minute. Great music! Strapi
Thanks for that great concert video!
Caught Jack earlier this month at The Tractor in Seattle. 91 years young and still on the road!

I love how he starts off with a grateful dead tune!
Ramblin' Jack is one of the last of the old time authentic greats!

Thank you so much for doing this.
Rambling Jack , along with Woody are music hero's of mine from the 60s.
Icon 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for saving this! It is history!

Good ole Robert Hunter and Ramblin Jack, Blown Away!
recall listening to him back in 1967-8 at slim greenes saddle shop where i kept my horses for a bit....absolutely loved him! this was in tesuque, n.m.
Love Jack. Thanks for posting.

He is a legend Inspires me to pick up my guitar tonight and play and sing, yes.
I do it everyday
amazing! thanks for sharing.

My folks took me to my first concert about 50 yrs ago,It was Jack I will never forget it.
Always lovely Rambling Jack Elliot
Always have been a Jack Elliot fan. I will listen to his stories all day.
Good lord amigo....thank you for this.
Jack is Jack. Thanks for this fantastic post. South Coast (@ approx 24 min mark) is a fantastic version of that tune.
Well thanks for your work sir, this is truly a gem. Saw Jack a few years ago at chicago blues fest and when he started to play house of the rising sun the clouds opened and downpoured on us. Amazing time.

Excellent!
absolutely brilliant the last true" dust bowl" storyteller
Tom Drysdale He came from money, Brooklyn NY, but earned his reputation by his own life.
Yup. He ran away from all that. Couldn't stand it. And became everything he wanted to be, authentically. Cowboy, sailor, truck driver, he mastered all the skills - he really did. It's not just a mask.

one of the greats.... love 912 Greens!
A great version of South Coast !
I love Jerry Jeff Walker, but this is better. Love you Ramblin' Jack !! You are the best ever.
Ramblin' Jack Elliot, the best singin' cowpoke west of Flatbush Avenue.
Thanks for this....first heard Jack at the Ash Grove around '65 and a couple of nights ago at the Sant Clarita Cowboy Festival.
I saw him there in '66 I think. He was probably there more than once. Ihad forgotten the name of the club. Thanks for the reminder. He was great the night I saw him.
Very far out! Jack is one crazy cat. Dig 912 Greens!
HE IS 88 YEARS OLD NOW!

RUclips Downloader is a free downloader you can get anything on youtube and download it trouble free..
The very first song is a tune called 'Friend of the devil' written by Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead
Rambling Jack, he paved the way for Jerry Jeff Walker.
Thanks
Ramblin' Jack, a Brooklyn boy like me!
Thank you, Jack
See you in Heaven some day 👌
He is not dead! Seeing him today!
You are a legend Jack, but for Gods sake that capo…hard work!

Bob and Ramblin Jack lived together for a while. Rambliin had been around a long time before Bob showed up. Think maybe Bob did a bit of stealing from Jack. Who cares anyway they are both fantastic entertainers
They lived together?
Bob did. A little Hank, some more Jerry Lee and a whole lot of Ramblin
Its in a Bob biography that came out recently
..🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸😅. THANKS. BOBZGT🏁🐾💝
8:00 great version of Buffalo Skinners
Song at 7:52. Woody wouldn’t teach him….made him learn it off his record. 😂

🌟🤠🌟🤠
Yeah, right, Mr. Beatnik, Jack Eliott. In his own mind!
The art world is populated with artists that have reinvented themselves.....maybe you would better understand some Wall Street utube channel.......
Beatnik, cowboy, hippy, whatever--Ramblin' Jack is a living legend emulated by cowboys all through the land. Perhaps, Arnie, you've gone too deep into your "own mind". Lighten up, partner.
Love you jack 4:11

which Redding? CA?

...HER Name is..-"SHANA LEIGH.". 😘🎶.
l was hoping hed do some al simmers songs i guess he forgot to
What City Hall is this?
Janet Caterina The old one, in Redding of northern California, 3hrs+ north of SF.
☮️🇺🇦
Bob Dylan fica no chinelo
Rambling very good
; )
Ohio is a lot closer to the cowboy world than Brooklyn. Hey Jack's a wannabe cowboy and bohemian. Not exactly a crime.
Yeah, a regular Hopalong Nussbaum.
...🎼🎶🎵🇺🇸🏆😅🍀🎲😘. BOBZGT🏁🐾
I always get a kick out of his fake cowboy accent. Not bad for a Jewish kid from Brooklyn.
And so Arlo Guthries from Queens so is his accent fake also?
Ramblin' Jack may be a lot of things but fake ain't one of them. He ran away at 15 to join the rodeo. That's as cowboy as it gets.
Ashley Shaffer Jack's father was a dentist in Brooklyn. He had a very privileged upbringing. He fell in love with the "cowboy thing" and decided to become one.
Woodja Coudja Arlo was born in Coney Island. He didn't live there very long so he has no real accent.
Arlo and myself were born in the same hospital he has an accent of an undetermined variety though not a Brooklyn one.
Jack is the Jewish Elvis “ 🕎✡️👍👍🎸🎸❤️❤️
