[MrTops2100]

Is there a version of arlo's song-Last to leave anywhere.Sung by him

[dryadStone]

Randomly suggested by Youtube in my own darkest hour :)

[retarguus]

obviously had a huge influence on dylan

[262girl]

Love Arlo. Love this song. Amazing performance-- thank you for posting.

[marshall0821magic]

where is this? and when?

[TheNotpc1]

One of my favourite songs of all time.SUCKS THAT ITS EMBEDDED AND CA"NT SHARE ON LINKS!!!!!

[clenbullard]

I do so love this song.

[CrazyQuokka]

Maybe the most beautiful live performance I ever listened to. Outstanding. I'm so glad to have stumbled over this. Thanks for uploading. I also like the folks seeming absolutely relaxed and in their own worlds, as they listen. Simply beautiful.

[TeeAreify]

Wow. I am so glad I stumbled upon this song.

Beautiful.

For those who made this kind of music possible - you generation of believers - thank you. Really.

[cjfingerson]

man...i love this song:)

[TheGranule]

How lucky we were to have lived and loved and been so AWARE during the 60's. We knew even then it was the best years. Thank the Lord for those times, when all of us were young and brorhers and sisters, and we smiled everyday.

[Radio2Folk]

Guthrie - you're a genius!! and what a voice!! When you playing the UK again?? Don't forget Nettlebed Folk Club or Gorinunplugged when you plan your trip!

[SirCoughsalot]

This is a fantastic song. Glad this made it on YouTube, might not have heard it otherwise.

[MrRangerfan66]

i got to meet him and his son after a concert in lincoln nebraska..he is one of my heroes

[kinskifreak]

Just give him a guitar and he'ss tell the lovliest stories with it... how many musicians can do that? .... I love his music!

[loulouche36]

My favorite Arlo song :-)

[seanoneillsongs]

(video response) this piece of styrofoam came bobbing so gracefully down the river and I thought of Arlo's song -catching - not to mention 'littering'. If you see Bob Dylan carrying around a bit of duck-like litter, tell him that I'd let that one go by me

[stephensonselina]

Check this guy out playing at Woodstock.

So young and cute, how do u go from that to this so fast. He still talented, but he looked much better as a brunet!!

[claytonave]

With any luck you'll have plenty of hair at that age. Mine is as long but very grey. It's a good thing. Oh Woodstock was so long ago, I was still a teenager

[everysinglenamesgone]

No way! He looks cool as hell with that grey hair! I'd grow a long grey mane right now if I could. I hope I can someday.

[MtnGirlCC]

I LOVE his long gray hair blowin in the wind. You ask, "How do u go from that to this so fast"? FAST? It's been 40 years! Unless we died young (too many did), none of us from the Woodstock Nation look like we did back then. Remember, you can do your thing til your time runs out!

[poddys]

Great song, one of his best. I also like Mystic Journey, can't find a video version though.

[Jamming60]

Arlo is truly a national treasure. I've been listening to him my whole life and will never tire.

Don't ever change my Brother.

[everysinglenamesgone]

So true. I just said elsewhere, oddly enough, that he's a national treasure. Then I wondered to myself what he'd think of that comment. But seeing that you said it too, well, I feel better about it.

I think it's true. He really is a national treasure.

[artbybabz]

will be seeing him this saturday am happy to see him again

[Westerngitarre]

This one´s just great. Thx Arlo!

[mixndrink569]

Saw Arlo in summer of 2005 in Newport Rhode Island my former home state and Arlo didn't play this tune regretfully but was still great. And man can he tell a story, probably as entertaining as his music are his hillarious pre song stories........he's an original......Arlo keep moving man.

[Becoolonce]

Simply stunning. Just beautiful. Arlo is hypnotic as the verses flow out of him.

[narutofan8675309]

By far one of his best songs ever. Tied with Coming into Los Angeles, Last Train, Last to Leave, and City of New Orleans. Thank you for posting.

[lenaspieltblues]

Wonderful! Thx garibelon for sharing ...

[Crustman1957]

One of my favourite songs. Going to see him Oct 25. I hope he does this song. Have all his early albums from the 70"s. I have great respect for the legends who play the small halls and dont forget there roots.

[pebble976]

I believe it refers to the death of his father Woody, Arlo would have been about 20.

[ejay1118]

I LOVE this song. I wouldn't say I really understand it fully, but I love it. (Hey! He cut out the line about the father and brothers and sisters!) Love the kid in the poncho dancing and the girl in the beret "zoning."

[sissy1678]

Beautiful...My love for American folk music began with the songs of Woody Guthrie and reading the story of his life. This is one of my favourite songs...still have Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys on vynl

[Aberforthette]

summer love.

[danpaprocki]

I just saw Arlo play this song live. Definitely an amazing song.

[bulbheadmyass]

This is one of the best Arlo songs, and an absolutely beautiful performance.

[carole7777]

This is exquisite - his playing, the lyrics....

[jgswallow]

One of my favorite Arlo songs and an absolutely wonderful performance.

[neffie72]

I've been a fan for many years..I can't remember a time when I didn't know Alice's Restaurant or the Motorcycle song..but this is by far his best most beautiful song..I just love it..thank you for posting it!

[ZedralZ]

It doesn't get any better than Arlo.  Thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful song. :)

[dfmep]

arlo's a real folk hero...sadly very underrated

[laddiemcmasters]

@dfmep No, not under rated at all. Arlo is just in a class of his very own - He is an icon, beyond any superficial rating by people who don't know or even care about him, his family, or his music.

[klshelly]

Amazing how everyone is just sitting there, rapt. Gorgeous rendition of the song. Thank you.

[cesbass]

My favorite Arlo's song. Beautiful. Thanks.

[peglegsam]

absolutely amazing video, thanks a lot for sharing :)
