Dave Matthews at Pete Seeger's 90th Birthday

Great show! Perfect choice of people to preform.

I am 17(was 16 at the time) and I was there...I listened to Pete's song growing up so I decided to go and because Tom Morello and Dave Matthews were there also. Not gonna lie but there were A LOT of Hippies there.

i am 17 and i was there and loved the entire show so my generation is not completely apathetic pete seeger is an amazing guy who should be an inspiration to all no matter what age

unfortunately I was sitting next to a bored 15 year old that was playing a video game for every song except Springsteen. And there were two young people in front of me that were more interested in each other than the songs, thankfully they left.

Lousy seats, but I'm glad I was there.

Wow... poor kid doesn't even know what he's missing. I'm only 20; I can't say I know all that much about Pete Seeger yet, but I just knew I had to see this man perform. Along with a few other legendary folks who might not be around much longer.

I flew from California to see it. =P

great video man. great audio. dave matthews is the best.

[BareNakedBather]

I'm trying to figure out how many of the posters in here are worthy of knowing what Mr. Seeger stood for and who he is? You kids just don't get it

and how to you raise money, you get the biggest celebrity's / singers to play on stage. (Live Aid, Farm Aid, Live 8, Concert for Bangladesh, etc) Some "headliners" are just more popular than others that's why they saved the best for last. I'm saying I would have rather seen Dave, or Bruce singing a Pete song than say Toshi Reagon who played in 6-7 songs. The sound was very good there, I was siting behind the stage and normally sound there sucks.

Did Roger Mcguinn have time to do any storytelling? and did he do more than 1 song "Turn, Turn, Turn." Was there a jam at the end with everybody?

[hayes1181]

Nah Roger did't do any storytelling, The two younger guys that played with him started the song then Roger ran out and the crowd went nuts. He only did 1 song. At the end there was a full on jam with every one, there was about 70-80 people on stage, then they left then every one came back for a encore 2 or 3 songs.

[hayes1181]

Not about the headliners, the whole show was full of headliners paying tribute to Pete. That's why MSG sold out and is going to make millions for Clearwater. I bet if you asked Pete, he would say he organized the concert not for himself but to raise awareness and money for Clearwater, because he knows he wont be around much longer and wants Clearwater to live forever.

This show was not about Dave or the headliners - this was about Pete Seeger, his contributions to music and to society, and about the folk music that he was known for. I'm a huge DMB fan, but I loved the variety of music and the tribute to the roots of much of today's music. Be a little more open minded. I thought the sound quality was EXCELLENT, better than anything I've seen at MSG in years, and while the audience wasn't young and wild, there was a strong vibe of love in that room.

[hayes1181]

I was waiting for Matthews, Springsteen, Harper and Vedder all night. Dave plays one solo song, Bruce plays one song with Tom, Ben plays one song with his mom, aunt, and Tom and Eddie never showed. Still a amazing show, Richie Havens had a awesome song, and Tom Morello played with almost everybody. They played alot of country sounding folk that i could have done without, they should have gave more time to the headliners. Oscar the grouch was there with the band doing pete's "garbage" song.

[allstar340]

completely agree it was bullshit

[PBRtallboys]

The show was kind of so-so, seemed like a made for tv affiar, but dave was fantastic. Had his hold school feel.
