Pete Seeger, "Amazing Grace," on his 90th Birthday at Madison Square Garden

[royalcourtier]

@TranshumanCyborg Many working - and non-working poor - were anti-capitalist. As many are now. But many were rightists rather than leftists. The nazi party was anti-capitalist - "national socialism" wasn't a meaningless title.

[justclassicalguitar]

wow

[eotto2001]

Thanks for the post. He is still great.

[HeroicOaf]

Wutduhhek. . . (0:28) the JumboTron's got him reversed - how does that happen?1

[HoboGus]

Jesus!! 90 years old and he can still sing and perform! Thumbs up to you Pete. Hope you make it to 100!!!!!!!

[exelwood]

Brain dead old lefty, good thing he was an American so he could afford to be a commie! :)

Help Pete Seeger getting the Nobel peace prize! Join the facebook group "Give Pete Seeger the Nobel Peace Prize".

And spread the words LET a man who deserves the price win it!

[alouette87]

I wish i had been there

[mauriciobeltre]

Cuban singer Silvio Rodriguez was suppose to be there with Pete. US did not give him visa. That would have been a magical moment. Silvio finally got it and Pete was at Silvio's concert at Carnagie Hall.

[redonionjazz]

I was at the concert and the acoustics were really much better. Pete was remarkable and I love that Tao's playing with him. Such a legendary American and how blessed are those who have followed him.

[reigetje]

Ik prefereer deze uitvoering verre boven die van Mieke Telkamp.

[calvinlotz]

Yeah Jesus dead LONG time...

[spiritoftruth123]

Long live Jesus Christ, and all those who fight for what is right!!!

[logosthedestroyer]

@spiritoftruth123 He's long, long dead my friend. Perhaps, "Long live Pete Seeger" would be rather more appropriate?

[huckledawd]

are there any better recordings of this?

[777Catlover]

Pete was exonerated from being a Communist in court of law.

[lucieppe]

Happy Birthday Pete and thanks for all you've done for peace and human understanding.

[uzb1]

He should be a Saint!

[vicparis]

Thank you for all you've done for America, Pete. We owe you a lot.

[nelsonmouse]

@dale1966gto and your point is what exactly?

[demiseisdue]

BTW google "Dale GTO Faggot" and i get 200,000+ entries..does that mean its true then?

[PersonForPeaceLondon]

A great musician and a great American. Persecuted for his politics, which tells you more about his persecutors... anyone holding concerts for McCarthy?

[foxvienna1]

@PersonForPeaceLondon  No and they should not Pete is great.

@PersonForPeaceLondon Texas School Book Committee.

[blindwilliejohnson66]

@PersonForPeaceLondon Quite Right!

[Freiheitsliebender64]

God bless you, Pete, may God give you a 100 Birthday Party!!!!

[LetArtsLive]

ha dale hes no communist he was an activist..and that is good i think...

[benazeman]

me, too - watching it now on PBS! Wanted this link for Facebook - thanks for posting it!

[alchemyfreak3]

just saw this on PBS so amazing!!

[NWRA1957]

Where's Dylan ?

[pinkbloodcells6]

this concert was truly a brilliant experience. i was so happy to be able to sing with everyone. best crowd. amazing performers. Pete Seeger thank you and see ya in June at Clearwater Festival !

[televisionsux]

Thank you for posting this.....I've been waiting and waiting for these videos to pop up.

Needless to say, I wished I would've been there. I was there in spirit though for all of us "Honest to Pete Seeger's" tribe.

[survivorman4]

are they going to release the good camera angle videos? i saw numerous flying cameras recording

[minjonetminna]

PBS recorded it and is going to air it in a "Great Performances" series, I think. I hope they have it for sale!

[cliffmama]

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one in the audience with tears in my eyes. What an incredible and positive experience to hear everyone in MSG singing together in harmony.

[LetArtsLive]

he doesn't look that old does he?What a guy he saved the huson and was an activist

[blitzpost]

I was right there with you! I get choked up all over again watching it.

[SpartanicalSystem]

Just because he's a communist (even if he is, I honestly don't know or care) he's entitled to play whatever he likes here. take an overweight person for example.. They know that they are unhealthy and sick, they don't want to leave their body because its theirs and they love it, but they want to make it better. I think that's all peter wanted to do. But I totally don't think that communism is a viable means of government for the US.

[Regnagarden]

We are many in Sweden that are so sorry for not being at Madison Square Garden Sunday and Pete Seegers big event. Here in Sweden we are working hard that Pete will be awarded Polar Music Prize 2009 - the Nobel prize in music. Bruce Springsteen got it in 1999. We will know in a few weeks.

[dainger85]

Truly one of the top nights of my life! I, too , was in tears!

[cranberry6]

God bless you Pete! I should be so fortunate to be as spry and talented when I'm 70, let alone 90!

[genapruitt]

Thanks so much for posting this! I wish I could have been there. Pete and Toshi are old friends of my family and are the most wonderful people you'll ever want to meet. If there was any way possible for me to have been at this celebration, I would have been there. Happy, happy birthday Pete! Thanks for all that you and Toshi do and for the spirit in which you do it. Peace. :o)

[pinkmoon1983]

Inspiring and magical show lastnight...

had me in tears. The power of song...

[avalonfarms]

wish i could have been there. happy birthday pete. thanks for all the music and efforts to make the world a better place

[LilODarlin]

Musicians stay YOUNG ...very rare is the dementia when daily making music.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Pete!!!

[russtacean]

Historic.

[hayes1181]

Awesome show, I was there, the stage was set up like a huge sail boat to look like the Clearwater slope.

No Eddie Vedder, what was up with that.

[luvjer444]
