Recommended Posts

I must admit it I did feel very out of place at this show. Most of the artist that got the biggest reception (Baez, Havens) were artist before my time but I still sppreciated the magnitude and huge variety of artist.

 

Some included:

Arlo Gutherie

Billy Bragg

Joan Baez

Richie Havens

Rambling Jack Elliott

Roger MCGwinn (With Band of Horses!! They did Turn Turn Turn which was aweosme!)

Tom Morrell

Toshi Rogan

Ani DiFranco

Ben Harper

Dave Matthews

John Mellencamp

Bruce Springsteen (With Tom Morrello)

Dar Williams

Bela Fleck

Michael Franti

Pete and Peggy Seeger

Patterson Hood

Guy Davis

Bruce Cockburn

Keller Williams

Kris Kristofferson

Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Steve Earl

Taj Mahal

Tom Chapin

Tommy Sands

 

The Concert ran approximatley 4 and half hours. It was a sold out show and was quite a unique expierence. There was a big finally with everyone on stage with Pete which was cool.

 

Anyone else go?

Damn, makes me wish I still lived in NY. I used to work for Havens, McGuinn, Arlo and the great, underrated Guy Davis. Must have been a great show.

 

I was impressed with Havens guitar playing and I did like Guys voice...very soulful. I was really excited about MCGwinn as I love the way he plays guitar! Arlo was not my thing but still was glad I saw him. What did you used to do for them?

Must have been great..I bet there'll be a dvd or broadcast of this.

 

I saw Pete and Arlo perform in Montreal back in '85 (with my dad and grandma), it was a fabulous show.

I was one of their agents, then I decided I needed to reclaim my soul! I was particularly close to Richie and Guy, since they lived locally and are great guys. I still keep in touch with Richie from time to time. Sounds like the show was a great time. Rolling Stone.com has a little review on their site.
