  • This live show from Wolf Trap Farm Park in Vienna, VA originally aired on PBS on August 23, 1978. I am unsure if this is the complete show or not - I have heard that the original airing was about 90 minutes, and rebroadcasts were cut down. This is the only known version that I am aware of.

    I know he's playing in the sky and he is making the garden grow.

    Pete Seeger was such a great role model and inspiration. He backed workers and not corporations. His concert tickets were not expensive. He would ask fans to bring food that was then donated to a food bank in the city he performed in.

    What’s amazing is that it’s not perfectly apparent that Pete Seeger is Not simply a skinny fella withe a banjo using a few words & notes that puts 1000s in his pocket! When your LOVE shines it SHINES ( Arlo too)& NOTHING moves people to JOY, not pockets, faster than being in the presence of AMAZING GRACE!

    I've never been blessed to see Pete in concert. He influenced me a lot in my own music career. However, once I had a dream (not last night I had the strangest...) that Pete was in an old store catering to country vintage, mostly homemade wares. He sat on a stool playing his banjo and singing softly. Not wanting to bother him I looked at a table of quilts. One really pretty patchwork I began to covet, but per usual no money. I wandered around and finally headed for the door. Suddenly Pete stopped me, handed me a package and quietly left before I could thank him. Unwrapping the package I was just about knocked over...it was the very quilt I 😂admired! I had not spoken to anyone and don't think I lingered there longer than other beautiful pieces in the store. How had he known, and did he know how touched I would be? It was a very nice experience and the warm feeling lasted for a long time...and feel that way now. Thanks, Pete 😊!

    Oh my gosh, the year I graduated high school. This was phenom. A few years later Pete Seeger visited and performed at the UMASS Performing Arts Center in Amherst MA. My fiance bought me tickets and I remember being amazed by the diversity of age of those attending. By the unity of the singing along. How it was warm, uplifting and everyone came away feeling they had attended something so fine. Thank you so much for uploading this.

    I worked on the television production of this concert. This was an WNET production done live for broadcast on PBS. The television production trucks were provided by Turner Broadcasting out of Atlanta, GA. I worked for Turner and worked on the engineering setup for this concert. Most of the production personnel for this concert were provided by WNET. The audio mix was by an WNET audio person or possibly someone other they contracted for this. However since they had no one familiar with the cameras on the Turner trucks, which were Norelco PC-100 full size cameras and Norelco PCP-90 hand held cameras, I ran video for this concert on the main PC-100 cameras and Ron Buchwald, a fellow Turner engineer ran video on the two PCP-90 hand held camera. It's a shame this copy of an old VHS copy is all that remains. But I'm glad at least we still have it.

    Was lucky enough to see Pete & Arlo together in Toronto, I think about 1987 or '88, and what an amazing show. I remember when Arlo was about to do 'Alice's Restaurant', Pete laid down his banjo case and used it as a pillow while he stretched out on the stage to relax and listen. I grew up listening to Pete's music (parents were huge fans), and the two of them together was magical, what an evening!

    notes:
    This concert is a rare gem. It may be the ONLY "complete" (or nearly so, a few songs were left out of the PBS broadcast) concert of Pete in his prime (ok, a few years after his prime), and what a great concert it is. While Pete sticks to his familiar repertoire of sing-along standards (I'm Gonna Be An Engineer being the one exception), Arlo is all over the musical map, flatpicking an Irish fiddle tune, a bluegrass flavored Beatles cover, and telling not one but two shaggy dog stories in a row, including the hilarious "origin" of Tzena Tzena (which, of course, Pete and the Weavers made famous in 1950.) The finale of Lonesome Valley and Amazing Grace is...amazing. The symbolic father/son pairing of Pete and Arlo is inspired, and Woody's ghost is clearly present as these two legendary troubadours harmonize together. - www.guitars101.com/forums/f146/%5Bdvdfull%5D-pete-seeger-arlo-guthrie-1978-08-23-vienna-va-pro-shot-686271.html

    This is the cut-down one. The original airing was live, and they cut a couple of tunes. I remember, as a teenager who lived in the DC area, calling up WETA, the station that aired it, and bitching, and I ended up speaking to the actual guy who edited it. He was really nice, and explained that they had to to cut it down to meet something-or-another that the other stations they distributed to needed. Near as I know, the original never existed outside of the original broadcast.

    Big time grassroots social activist masters of the genre which is still evolving. That the Guthries are still very active in honring the legacies of Pete Seeger, Woody and Lomaxes is stealth commitment that has somehow been completely and maliciously not protected by NY State legislature who probably has raked in billions of dollars from the legacy of the Eco Arts culture that gave birth to Woodstock not to even mention the legacy of the Lomax recordings on Rock & Roll. I met John Lomax briefly in 1993 in the elevator of his Global Jukebox office at 450 W41st St NYC which was also the Hunter College MFA campus. Pete Seeger joined the Guthries, Odetta along a performance at the Alan Lomax tribute at Cooper Union's Great Hall was pure magic. Sadly the CUNY building has been abandon for years slumified by NY State along with their entire legacy of Arts, Culture and Environmental activism...Thanks for reading, listening and sharing these stories. #savemusicstreet

I remember Arlo's comic monologue being based around a mysterious sea creature, a clam named Ruben, which morphed into the sea chanty "Ruben Ramso" sung as "Ruben Clamso."
