Live Concert Recording
Former Weavers Pete Seeger and Ronnie Gilbert, the irrepressible Arlo Guthrie, and Holly Near all brought favorite songs to perform at this classic 1984 concert. Selections include various Near and Guthrie originals, traditional folk standards (“Wimoweh," “Twelve Gates to the City," a stunning rendition by Ronnie of “The Water is Wide") and cover tunes ranging from Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man" (complete with trademark deadpan commentary by Arlo) to the late Steve Goodman’s “City of New Orleans" to Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On."
With instrumental support by Pete, Arlo and pianist/composer/musical arranger Jeff Langley, the four voices can be heard in varying configurations, sometimes uniting in a multi-generational rainbow of brilliant harmony.
