Mrs G - did the CD get uploaded to iTunes? I don't see it yet.

[jguth3]

It takes a while for them to upload it etc.

I LOVE it!! My kids want this song, but I cannot find this song on any of the iTune downloads for Arlo. Did I miss it? Please tell me where to find Arlo's version of this song!

[jguth3]

You can find the song on his CD titled "Outlasting The Blues." Actually Arlo is uploading the CD today to iTunes. Or, visit his website. They won't let me post it on the comments. I'll put it in the discriptions area.

That Muppet on the stairs with the shades on sorta looks like Gordon...I know it's someone else, but that's what it reminded me of. Great video...I'd never seen it!

That would be Steve Ide on the stairs. We sent them a tape of the shows Arlo was doing in those days with Shenandoah and some photos. They made these muppets for this show. David Grover, Steve Ide, Carol Ide, Danny Velika and the incredible Terry a la Berry!

One of the greatest songs ever....we sang this in Vietnam in 1968-69; while we were missing our homes so much....

[Greenhornet270]

sung this song in Vietnam when we were all so lonely for home,,,,1968-69

What happened to the great videos of Sarah Lee singing this song, at Wolftrap, and as an adult at the Guthrie Center? My daughter used to sing along to the one at Wolftrap. It great to watch the progression.

Ok I was born in 1979, 32 now, and I am a proud Arlo Guthrie fan. You will be surprised how many people my age that are "secretly" Arlo Guthrie fans because they "assume most people our age have no clue who he is" and 89% of the time this assumption is probably correct....BUT look at all the Arlo fans I find just from being open and bringing him up to random people (mostly internet network sites) It amazes me and I enjoy every minute of it when I can talk about Arlo and Woody and their Music!

Oh my god that is AMAZING!! I'm soooo jealous. My favorite show of all time. :)

When I was 10 years old and living in London, I got to visit the set of the Muppet Show for this episode. So nice to see it again!

[tigerpilot32p]

This is GREAT! Thanks for posting it. It is Arlo, a long time ago, but still timeless. To see Sarah do it makes it all the more special.

[Skorpio420]

I don't care what anybody says, seeing Arlo Guthrie and the Muppets singing together....priceless!

[ltyr2001]

I haven't seen this since 1979, but I have always remembered the song, especially the Muppets singing the background for some reason.

Crazy how memory works.

AngelaRed, You should go see him in concert. I,m in Texas and he will be in Mississippi in the next month or 2 and I am taking a road trip to see him. If he comes anywhere near your home try and catch his show. You won't regret it. I have seen him several times and he is always a treat. I always leave his show with undescribable great feelings.
