First time i heard this was on 97.3 K-ROCK nooner with Terry Evans.Laughed my ass off.51 dislikes what are you people fucking nuts???Arlo is great.Must be fucking Beiber heads or puke... Nickelback fans.
@VanillaBean254 They met before Bob got famous and Arlo got "famous." Bob sought out Arlo's dad Woody when he got the chance to learn songs from him, and Arlo was actually the one who met him first.
At least, that's the way Arlo tells the story of how he met a young Bob Dylan.
@comtnbiker A few things: clearly you have never worked as a musician or an actor, as most of my friends who do either spend more hours at work and more hours on their feet than I do even in a week of 12s.
And who the hell said their opinions were more important? They just have a taller platform and a larger audience to deliver them to, that's all.
The time when true musicians actually had soul put into their songs.. and didnt use fucking autotune to hide their horrible voice.... Oh and a benefit festival... Had heart too..... Man I love this style of music.... What sorta genre would it be classified though Id love to listen to more songs like this. It isnt really country but has that feeling...
Arlo says he'd been singin' this song about 8 years so I'm figuring that he was 19 when he recorded "Alice's Restaurant" the album with both songs on it, so he must be 27 years of age in this video +/- . And that would make it 1978 around there . . . and he's STILL playin' THIS song ! ! ! wow . . .
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Now look, the junk food and the candy just rots your teeth, gives you bad breath, and the girls run like hell. Stay the hell away from buying any rock TV shirts, or hip hop gear, or anything like that. Arcade games — pick out one that you can do, okay? ONE that you can do as opposed to a whole bunch of them that you don't know what the hell you're doing. Techno music just puts a hole in your brain — are, are you listening to me? Look at me when I'm talking to you!
I got the "arlo" album when I was 13 - this & the pause of mr Claus still make me smile. I'm English and hold Arlo as evidence that Americans do actually get irony. Keep pickin'.
@dda3798773 exactly my point. In 1975 one could go to a show,put the outside world on hold, and live in the moment for a couple of hours. The comment was simply a comparison between then and now, where we all seem to carry at least some electronic baggage that can prevent us from enjoying the world around us if we allow it to. No need to apologize by the way.
I was at this concert in Worthington, MA. I was 15yrs old and went with my best friend. They handed out free, yes free posters for this concert and after the show we went back stage and Arlo signed our posters. "I still have that poster..".(say it in an Arlo story telling voice)
Woody was one of the best traditional American songwriters of the 20th century, and his son is one of the best singing comedians around, and this video is a good example of why. His sense of the absurd, in America and in life, is just so brilliant. In his later years, he's become more of a concert guitarist and traditionalist and less of a comedian, but his early work is on record, and that's a blessing.
Arlo never sold out; see Wikipedia. He's demonstrated in Wisconsin for public employee union workers. In December 2005 his family joined other musicians on a train trip across the country to raise money for musicians financially devastated by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. At his home in Mass., he feeds the hungry, takes care of the sick, and supports the cause for the cure of Huntington's disease, which killed his father, Woody. He might even be a better person than a musician.
Thank you for sharing this clip, it's wonderful!... Am I the only one that thinks with appropriate effort in hair & makeup etc, Michael Rosenbaum, formerly of Smallville could play Arlo from this point in time in a biopic?..
My dad was a biker all through his life and this song along with Alice's Restuarant, and assorted Doctor Hook songs are all I remember of childhood. He used to play them on his stereo system (on the turntable o' course), so loud I could hear them through my bedroom floor and I'd doze off to these tunes. I love my dad.
I love this song and the performance. A perfect shaggy dog story and such a blessing to hear. I first heard a version of this song in college from a hall mate named Steve and I embraced it as a song for me to find and have in my collection one day. Thank you for sharing this!!
I deicate this to Victoria, who always played this song when we hung out! She was the prettiest woman in Scudder Hall at Suny New Paltz, back in 1983! Well, our short relationship was like most typical relationships in college--it didn't last long! ! I was glad to find out many years later that she was married, with child on the way! Peace, BobbyK
Great video and great sound. I didn't think he was cute, but loved him anyway. I was wrong. He was gorgeous! Thank you from an 'almost' Arlo groupie!
@sydwayman, not sure i want to get caught up in this any more than to say i agree, a lot of us did forget. i saw friends sell out & become yuppies w/bmw's & cuisinarts. but i held out, kept my values & tried to teach my kids those same values. what's happening w/the governor of wisconsin goes against those values & everything arlo's dad, woodie, fought for. i'm struggling financially as a result, but i wouldn't have it any other way.
@lunavistallc I can not really understand what you mean. Arlo was (years ago) the greatest ever. (Have: "Together in Concert" and "Precious Friend" (Live with Pete Seeger)).
Arlo sang songs his father wrote; now his kids (I know of Sarah-Lee for sure) sings the songs of her grand-dad that her father sang. And so we keep learning those songs if we listen to them.
Arlo is no longer my most favourite, but Steve Goodman and Tommy Emmanual is.
memories from Arlo... when i think of my youth & our idealistic generation, it makes me nostalgic for the old days; we might have been young, but at least we cared.
@fguka funny you say that because Arlo's father, Woody Guthrie, was Bob Dylan's main influence in the early days of his songwriting. bob even wrote a song about him: "Song To Woody"
I have been showing this video to the kids in my family and now they have all their friends at school singing this song. Would have loved to see more from this concert. He is my favorite.
truly amazing song, My old man use to quiote it, and I didnt realize it was a song until he tossed it on the cd player the other day when were were taking a trip to eastern oregon. I'm 30 now. God damn music was better before I was around.
@Sydwayman SORRY y generalize because...,.,. WERE ARE ALL THE YANKIS THAT WAS IN WOOSTOCK 69
ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ??? all that pensament good and inteligent ?
your country today is a SHIT ,,,, BUSH DISTROY IRAK !!!!!!!!!! and the unite states FUCKIGN people like that
ore not mater.... i am sow sad .,.,. is realy that is a shit generalize, but your country is soow shit ,.,,.i dont cant no generalize,.,,. i dont see good persons FROM USA TODAY... :(
@matgrin Our country is constantly changing. Back in 69 we were in the vietnam war AND we basically had a fascist government (Richard Nixon was president). Right now we have a president who is "trying" to end the war in Iraq at least and most of the people I know are against the wars(Bush had less then a 25% approval rating before he left). The united states has many good people.
@matgrin First of all... Woodstock was in 1969... this was filmed in 1975. If you were at Woodstock and a "Yanki" Also spelled YANKEE - you must have taken some of the brown acid. Good luck with that.
I LOVE THIS SONG and the pickle was injured...perhaps a Viet Nam Pickle Vet. You need to listen to the words.
@thetruthfulliar 38 now. 38 people weren't high when they viewed this, and to them it's like a story you make up for a kid when you suck at making up stories.
What's up with this crowd in the video? There's hardly any response to this great song! Arlo is an excellent performer and artist. I too love to share this song with my kids. We used to play Alice's Restaurant, the Pickle Song, and many of his others while traveling to visit the grandparents! I STILL love to put on Alice's Restaurant while prepping the bird on Thanksgiving! It's a tradition!

I don't know why people would waste so much time listening to this boring standup comedian.

What's up with this crowd in the video? There's hardly any response to this great song! Arlo is an excellent performer and artist. I too love to share this song with my kids. We used to play Alice's Restaurant, the Pickle Song, and many of his others while traveling to visit the grandparents! I STILL love to put on Alice's Restaurant while prepping the bird on Thanksgiving! It's a tradition!

This was one of Kurt Cobain's favorite songs when he was a kid. It's one of my favorite songs right now.
