[trask12]

Thumbs up if this blew your speakers at 360.

[goldie0800]

What's with all the STATIC? I can't hear anything, sorry to say. Is it a copyright issue? Inaudible.

[boezempeil010]

audio is fine at 240p

12-29-10 Remembering Odetta. I can just watch the face and GET IT!

[Kaknelson]

youch

[billhargreaves123]

sound has gone funny

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

What sort of microphone is she singing into?

[eixmi]

No audio? :(

[Rudipolt]

Fine Song Odetta!

Thanks for posting!

Aloha from Hawaii!

[sirop1960]

@Rudipolt

Yes, no audio. This was in my favourites from the beginning. I used to listen to it and be uplifted in a very special way. This is too bad, what,s happening?

[rusle1]

best part is the oooddooodaa o lordy lordy part

[synapsecracklepop]

Classically trained, musician of the highest quality... dedicated her life to keeping true Americana alive and in our hearts... a champion of civil rights and human dignity, she never failed to contribute to the cause, whatever the costs might be professionally. She never sold out. "If only one could be sure that every 50 years a voice and a soul like Odetta's would come along, the centuries would pass so quickly and painlessly we would hardly recognize time." Maya Angelou

[tricyclesinskirts]

she's my hero

[whydontyoushootme]

Everything Odetta ever did is absolutely breath-taking. She was a goddess among mortals.

[buddyjesus1000]

awesome never expected her voice to sound like that though

[Jellirollbatman]

My good Friend, my inspiration. Odetta, Another One Done Gone

[alabmawhitman]

amazing

[peoplestandup]

Job well done great!!!!

[Dawidsu]

Is there any CD/DVD with this song and with other Odetta's performances at Newport?

[jesscheckin]

The Film "Festival" must be on CD

Murray Lerner made it filming Newport Folk Festival (Rhode Island?) from 1963 to 1965. That's where a lot of these clips come from. Trouble is I read somewhere that no number is shown in its entirety. The off-cuts must be priceless!!

[sleeplessintokyo]

i love this lady.. i wish i could play guitar like her..

[sherained]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG?!!!

[bmkjuana]

Carry It Home to Rosie

[bmkjuana]

Sorry my bad it's "Carry It Back to Rosie"

[AstridVonAij]

I didn't know her guitar work was so incredible!

xo- Astrid

[Teraneo]

Odetta was one of my favorites

[lcooke]

That guy at 0:38 is pretty much exactly the look I get listening to her. I'm so sorry to hear she passed

[Unpromoted]

Grief,

Saddened, loss; Odetta dies.

But joy overcomes,

Knowing her originality inspires;

Spreads wildfire,

Lipsyncers, pretenders:

Beware.

[Chastalard]

Thank you for getting me through all the bullies at school. Your voice & passion and the MUSIC...my dear sweet friend go with passion and sing in the stars...Love, Briar Niallxxxooo

[candygir7]

and the bullies continue and get worse. children in schools get murdered and the government is getting worse. so what is the point of singing about it and doing nothing to stop the injustice. no point, it is an escape just like drugs are.

[thatjenk]

@candygir7 you dont know shit about shit you dumb bitch. bullies have always been terrible and children have always gotten murdered, just now a bunch of students were killed in school. singing about something will at least call attention to the issue which is better than sitting around doing nothing and being an ignorant asshole, please dont talk to anyone for the rest of your life so you cannot perpetulate your unique brand of unintelligence

[candygir7]

@thatjenk only in America & countries run by socialist scum. happens when the government sets it up like this. let the people fight with each other while the government takes more control over our freedoms & our money & rights. but you would not know anything about that as you are IGNORANT. no it is not normal behavior & only happens in societies that are rotten & filled with crazy dumb people & corrupt leadership. singing about it & movies about it to portray it as common & normal is wrong.

[candygir7]

@thatjenk always? you mean for the past 25 years? cause you don't know it was not common before until the socialist fascists nazis moved in on this nation & other nations to corrupt & spoil it. look back at what united states was like in the fifties & before, before nazis were hired by FBI & CIA started filled with ex Nazi agents. go pick up a real book & stop watching television for your sould of information. and the public schools run by fascist to produce ignorant slaves.

[thatjenk]

@candygir7 wow you sure are a dumb bitch. people fight each other but folk music and a whole bunch of other music is to comment on all the injustices of the world, just as youre doing in this pointless little argument. and How did you find out about this socialist facist(?) conspiracy? i would rather die than read the books youre reading because if they taught you all of this garbage then they are even stupider than you are. youre a slave to your own manic self

[candygir7]

@thatjenk 30 years ago there was no such bullying as there is now. what is so hard to understand you dumb hoho? you are a dumbed down, ignorant, violent, abusive sub animal crowling on the earth like vermin & your brain not working at all. do not worry you are not alone, there are millions of dumb faks like you on earth & they are the reason for all the problems we have. the sick insane that control nations know how lowly & stupid you are. your kind used to burn children to Molech.

[candygir7]

@thatjenk Russia & USA pretended to be enemies while top levels worked together. Nazism was created by organized international drug lords & warlords who launder using their banks. wait own the your politicians & scientists also. they sell you both legal & illegal drugs (tranquilizers, pain killers etc.) They looted Germany, now USA. Scientific & technological discoveries of Russian, German & American people owned by them & profit filthy rich. brain washing your lowly dumb behinds to accept abuse

[candygir7]

@thatjenk I don't curse out people for no reason & unable to make a civilized arguement, it is you. but I gave you a taste of your own medicine in my previous replies to your abusive message. you say you rather die, well you ignoramos (short for ignorant animals) are dying, & it hurts to see people being driven so low by evil, cunning & manipulative leaders in government. the problem is talking about it don't work, it is self soothing drug like. finding out the cause & how to stop it works.

[thatjenk]

@candygir7 it's true there was no need to comment so rudely towards you, i apologize

[candygir7]

@thatjenk it is ok, sadly most people are not clever enough & even I fall for their manipulative schemes. the thing with such songs & movies is that they make it look like this is how things supposed to be or this is the culture when it is not. same how rap videos show violence & women disrespected, the young people look at it & think it is cool or normal. just because many people acting this way & doing something it does not mean it is right or good. psychology is a science (psychiatry is not.)

[candygir7]

@thatjenk you want to call attention to an issue, take the department of education & government to court because they are responsible for not keeping schools safe & allowing insane behavior. also spraying nerve agents into the air (chem trails) substances like borium & manganese. prince & dick gregory talk about it. see the video on my website listen on my page. you know very little what is going on. they putting things in the food & drinks also. then they stand & do nothing while fights start.

[nyomythus]

masterful!!

[branchwater7]

a spirit this robust and beautiful never dies. thank you, odetta.

[spamdmd]

Go with Jesus, our American treasure!

[tajmabruno]

I just heard that she was going to be performing at Barack Obama's inauguration and while I am sad that she has passed away I am grateful that she was able to in her lifetime see a black man elected President of the United States of America. Rest in Peace

[nealsmagic]

Lovely words. Thank you. She will be missed.

[tajmabruno]

She definitely will and thank you.

[tago319]

I will miss her, RIP

[SantaFe77]

Live on Odedetta! I saw her three times, two real concerts, once (maybe twice?)sharing the stage with Nancy Griffith and maybe Joan Baez?)...she was a beautiful soul.

[Noshirm]

A voice and playing that moves mountains. Wow!!! What an artist, what a gal!

[OllieGarkey]

The world will miss her. I know I will. :(

[Raymantico]

Heard her sing one last time in October at a folk/bluegrass festival in Golden Gate park--

someone who led the way...

[MSB76]

RIP

:(

[Loofafa]

Amazing stuff, shame it's not longer but it's very beautiful nevertheless. She looks like she's really enjoying playing it!!

[Needleheadnumb]

Love this short clip..... I bet she could make some good biscuits.

[Lizzy1457]

she looks gorgeous

[enrobsob]

Odetta, the great.

[ivycompton]

Her guitarwork always seems a little different from most players - ditto that beautiful rich voice. Love her. Thank you.

[maartendas]

I saw her peform about five years ago on a festival in a small theatre in Amsterdam. She had the crowd clapping and singing This little light of mine, it was amazing. Later that evening Saul Williams performed too :)

[oldmusicman2007]

I was fortunate and old enough to have seen the wonderful Odetta back in the day. She had a sweet and powerful voice and played that big ol' guitar like no one else.oldmusicman2007.

[AnAmericanGentleman]

Damn. She can really play that guitar.

[masonbarge]

The song is "Carry It Home to Rosie". She does it on her albums :)

[HungryVermilingua]

She better on an the one titled "Odetta at Govenors Island House of the Rising Sun"

search for it, she's great.

[irishmonkey]

what is the name of the song

[NinaHeij]

what's this song called, it's amazing

[gmlch]

thank you, she's truly great !

[sirop1960]

I'm hooked on this little gem. I just love her voice and that kind of fluid guitar playing. Thank you so much out there for posting such good music.

[PomBare]

I love the sound she gets out of her acoustic. Reminds me of her version of Gallows Pole, which is without doubt my favourite version of that song and Ive been after a video of her playing Gallows Pole for years, but at least this gives me an idea of the way she positions chords. Does anyone have a tab or know the chords for Gallows Pole?

[captaingoatboy]

anybody know what song this is?

[skietbagger]

A Miracle.

[JosephNScott]

Anybody who likes Odetta and hasn't heard Booker White (aka Bukka White), check him out too! Generation older than her.

[pnisimor]

It`s kind of a best of dvd of newport from 1963-66!

There are some more songs with her on it..1 or 2 i think.

If any of you want those others i can always rip them off and upload them also!?

[gaelicstorm]

is tommy makem on it?

[marlboro555555]

If you got it please do. You know the name of this tune?

[davevanfunk]

O.K., I think I just died and went to heaven. But, alas, it was a short trip. Is this an outtake from the movie Festival?

[zeezberlin]

Whoohoo - this is just amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[Coralie2]

There needs to be a Nobel Prize created especially for the originators of UTube and for their contributors. I'm absolutely immersing myself in my past. thanks all you Odetta contributers.

[alicaurusrex]

I completely agree. I have never seen so many amazing videos together!
