Arlo Guthrie /Coming Into Los Angeles

[mcgrover1]

David Grover on lead

[DonBeaumont]

Anybody know who the guitarist on the Telecaster is? The one doing the solo?

[BigTeste]

i effing love this tune, one of my favorites to sing and strum. But I got to be honest when they start this live i almost expect arlo to start singing. "There must be some kinda way out here, said the joker to the theif." 0:54

[bjoernswe]

LOVE the guy at 1:00

[ginny2k]

I've loved Arlo's music since my teens! Still can't get enough!

[mooncrsher]

What can I add to THAT?! A primo song!=] 

[DavelovesRealMusic]

Wow--pro shot footage FINALLY of Comin into Los Angeles....thank you!! Do you have Arlos SOUNDSTAGE 1974 performance..he played Alice's restaurant on that show...never was rerun...Please post

[governorgilf]

This is really a great song. I never understood why it wasn't a bigger hit, or why someone hasn't remade it. THIS is the kind of stuff we should hear on the radio!

[meekrob]

@governorgilf Maybe some people have a problem with a song about drug smuggling or something...

[tetedepoulet]

@governorgilf Good question. Probably Arlo doesn't play the game that record execs want him to play...

[diazpepe]

pure telecaster experience,this song rocks!

[ryanling13]

[siiyong]

It's a breaktaking song! Arlo Guthrie is amazing!

[EDWARDLASUVIDA]

I'll never foget the first time I shoved drugs up my ass getting ready to come into to LAX on Avianca from Bogota...three large balloons of yeyo...the ace was in the hole...and Arlo played on our Sony boom box while I squated on the cold bathroom tiles loading my cargo.

[LordAudio]

That, my friend, is the greatest story I have heard/read in some time.

[4230king]

it was a rather intense time in life...19 years old in 1976...my own version of coming into los angeleezzzz...thanks for your coments

[oldasmold]

I was 19 in 1976. I was failing I took the advice of another famous man. I joined the Army. For me this was a good thing. Back then you joined the New All Volunteer "Peace" time Army or you went to prison. Couldn't join the air force cause I had smoked pot more than 4 times. Today I would go to prison. Today I am wiser. Things have changed. I would take things to jury trial. Peace to you.

[narutofan8675309]

By far one of his best songs.

[Raymantico]

He looks still stoned from Woodstock.

[mmm413]

His dad has to be so proud!

[singingabc123]

Hell, the whole guthrie family is good at what they do.

[baouftou]

[AlfredENewman101]

I first heard this song in the movie "the omega man", since then I have fell in love with it.

[llfrance]

Guess it's me. Offline, Voilà, Ilfrance

Boy does that bring back memories. From about 1971-72. Right before I joined the service!

[MaryLou17]

I think this was just before I saw Arlo touring with Pete Seeger, which was always a treat, in DC at Constitution Hall, I believe.
