Album Description This is a live double CD recorded during a series of concerts in 1975. In the words of Harold Leventhal (Sometime manager of Pete, Arlo and Woody), "It took only two phone calls to get Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie to agree to perform together in concert. I rang Pete. "Listen, how about you and Arlo doing some concerts together?" Pete didn?t hesitate, "Sure," he quickly replied. I then dialed Arlo. "Say, Arlo, how about you and Pete doing some concerts together?" His reply was as prompt as Pete?s. So concerts were lined up for New York, Chicago, Montreal, Boston, Denver and Tanglewood. "Now the big problem was to get Pete and Arlo to meet, to decide on a program and to rehearse. Arlo hates to travel beyond the border of Berkshire County in Massachusetts and Pete is traveling all over the country doing benefits. Luckily, just one week before the first concert in Carnegie Hall, Arlo escaped from his farm and found his way to Pete?s place in Beacon, New York. They spent a couple of hours together, decided on a program, ran through a couple of songs?and they were ready. "Pete Seeger had been singing with a Guthrie for some 35 years. Back in 1940, Woody Guthrie and Pete traveled cross country singing their way from state to state, and until the early 1950s Woody and Pete often shared singing in a union hall or at a political rally. In the mid-1960s, as Arlo became a "professional" singer, he was also beginning to share the same platform or concert hall with Pete, as they both participated at peace demonstrations or sang for the Farm Workers Union. The Seeger-Guthrie Union keeps going. "There is no gap in the two generations of singers heard on this record. Rather, the music and songs express a continuity of understanding and a reflection of the world as it is and has been. The audience at these concerts- those who were lucky enough to get tickets- spanned several generations: grandfathers and grandmothers with their grandchildren, workers and students, young and old. A New York reviewer perhaps best summed up when he wrote,"It is another time, but the need for the Seegers and Guthries of whatever generation remains." Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBest Folk Music CD Ever T. Bratz | Beaverton, OR USA | 04/29/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "About 20 years ago I sold all my albums and started replacing them with compact discs. A few of the albums were hard to part with, because they weren't available on cd yet. This was the toughest one for me to give up and I was thrilled to see it out on cd last year. I ordered it and found it even better than I remembered. This concert was originally recorded for a PBS concert special. It's just Pete and Arlo, a guitar, a banjo and a piano. They sing a collection of folk songs, old and new (at the time), but mostly old. It's part concert, part tribute to Woody, Sonny, Cisco and Leadbelly. Some of the better songs included in this collection are, "Get Up and Go," which is Pete's hilarious look at getting old, "Deportee," a great old Woody Guthrie song and "Sweet Rosyanne," which is one of those songs that's almost impossible not to sing along with. If you like folk music and don't have this cd, buy it now and you won't regret it." One Of The Most Important Folk Recordings Joseph Rao | Sydney, Australia | 03/27/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I believe that we tend to use the term "must have" a little too freely these days when rating the significance of a music or film genre. It's easy to do .. there is so much great stuff out there. If we slow down a moment though and use our head as well as our heart, the significance of Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie Together in Concert as one of the genuine MUST HAVE's is obvious. It is an important and historic link in the Seeger/Guthrie folk music tradition. For me there are few other albums that capture what folk music is about more than this one. The history, tradition, the ongoing relevance of the messages and the sweet simplicity make this an album that I am sure will be passed on and played forever. It took so long to come out on CD after having been deleted on LP for many years. Lets hope that it never goes out of print (like many great albums do at times). There have been a few other joint efforts by Pete and Arlo, all of which I would highly recommend (Precious Friend, More Together Again and HARP with Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert) but Together In Concert is the real MUST HAVE. Add to this Woody Guthrie, Dust Bowl Ballads, The Weavers at Carnegie Hall 1955 and Pete Seeger, We Shall Overcome The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert 1963 and you have the essential beginnings of the American Folk Music collection. If you love American Folk Music in the tradition of the great Woody Guthrie, put this CD at the top your list and order it now. Together in Concert will be one of the best and most important buys you make of any music genre." Simply, one of the best Westley M. Clavey | Houston, TX | 02/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I grew up though the 1950s and 60s as part of a singing family and songs of Woody Gutherie, Peter Seeger, and The Weavers were among those we sang the most. I was in college in New York City in 1975 and several times saw Pete Seeger give impromptu "sing alongs" in Riverside Park. I bought this album (in vinyl) as soon as it was released and I have played the grooves off of it in the intervening 30 or so years. My 17-year-old son is now headed off to college in New York City and this music has been part of his life. This album contains a marvelous blend of generations, audience and performers. It speaks as clearly to those with a social conscience as it did to the audience in 1975. Sure, some of the topics may be a little dated and new current events have emerged to take their places, but the messages still ring clear and true."
