@imaginepce27 there is a small video of it somewhere here on Youtube (but not in it's entirety, it can also be found on Pete Seeger - Live In Newport CD.

Sometimes the audience carries you through; sometimes you just have to slug it out. If you're afraid, you stay on the sidelines 'cause you might fail. But If you're truly brave like Pete, you put yourself out there, win or lose.

You may think the audience isn't really into it but they are, i mean things were different then and there notice how they're all dressed up, people dont dress up to go to concerts these days, plus pete gets the whole place singing and laughing everyone there was loving the performance they just show it differently than its shown today in my opinion atleast

@g3nby

You're being unintentionally funny right now. Sure somebody is being too sensitive about something you said about black people having different rhythm than white ppl, but why call yourself a honky? It's so submissive- you can have some pride and be respectful simultaneously

[marxistbros370]

This is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

[g3nby]

@mancheromanchero Quite baffled why you need to so insulting when I was speaking FOR black audiences who would instinctively clap on the off beat and against white audiences who generally wouldn't feel the off beat if you hit them with a baseball bat!

You're racial sensitivity blinds you to logic & courtesy! I am a honky jazz musician who's played Black music for 50 yrs. You also failed to pick up that I knew it's in OZ when I signed Pommie B'st*rd. You provide much about which to be insulting

[mancheromanchero]

@g3nby Is there something up your decaying asshole? THis was a time when the audience kept their composure to actually listen to the words. Exclusively white? This was melbourne australia 1963. - truly yours, a jamaican from canada...you old ignorant fool.

[g3nby]

Sorry. Typing error on last posting.

Thanks for the info.

Even our colonial cousins are allowed to get excited and be inspired to pick up the off-beat which is the essence of this kind of music. Seeger worked them masterfully but they refused to be 'worked'. So much reserve, it could have been a jamboree for English Vicars and wives. Great show. Shame that the theatre audience audience missed it!

Regards from a Pommie B*st*rd.
