I haven't read any of the comments on this, but i hope everyone recognizes that the acoustic singers were intentionally keeping it mellow, unoriginal, and as straight-up as possible. the moment was for sharon, and they gave it to her (i mean, she earned it for SURE, but i'm just saying).
In as much as I really like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and her rendition of this classic, and the Dark Was the Night singers really could have sung it (more than) a bit more uptempo, there's really no need to denigrate the more traditional performance. The melody in her version has no likeness to the original Guthrie tune -- the only thing she is using are the lyrics.
Hey Man. We were the ones in front of you who asked about the size of Video files. Great job man. Sounds and looks great. And yes Sharon tore the roof off the place.

@tnagumoyt It was self-deprecating humor on all the other white emo hipsters artists that performed. It was funny...You missed the joke.
