I first heard this song back in 1972 and it makes such an emotional impact and still does after all these years. Thank you Arlo and much thanks to the dude who wrote it and gave it to you. peace ;)

Katie, I know what you mean. It would take hours for Arlo to answer all the questions I have. He is the best. I know you will enjoy his show. I hope to see him again soon. And I hope you get that chance to meet him.

@MyTallTripod: Check out the Steve Goodman interview that runs around 9 minutes on YouTube. He tells it differently then Wikipedia. Point is, he (S.G.) was gracious about it. But, it's one is hard pressed to find an attribution by A.G. to the songwriter. I love the way A.G. does the song, but wish he had played fairly with this song. S.G. was a wonderful guy. I saw him often in Chicago.

I've only seen him do it on piano. Always wondered but knew he'd sound great on guitar. Thanks.

I liked Arlo Guthrie long before he recorded this -- but knowing the history behind this one (and the Steve Goodman story) I appreciate his music even more.

Great video!

The awesomeness cannot be overstated. Life would have been a lot emptier without this song.

The great singer/songwriter Steve Goodman wrote this song. I heard him perform it many times in Chicago before A.G. took it. (As Steve Goodman described it, it was not given, as in, a "gift.") As far as I know, A.G. never attributed the song to Steve Goodman and never paid him royalties. The Bealtes, Sinatra, everyone attributes the songwriter and pays royalties. It's just the right thing to do. I hope I'm wrong about this. Someone, please prove me wrong.

@johnwoodallmd Quoting Wikipedia
He (Steve Goodman) performed the song for Arlo Guthrie in the Quiet Knight, a bar in Chicago, and Guthrie agreed to add it to his repertoire....
I have no clue about royalties and I doubt if someone is going to provide you with canceled checks to prove your claims wrong.
