Man what a great storyteller and musician, u can almost make out an alices restuarantlike cadence in the story. His comic timing is perfect. How it is this man wasnt offered a variety show on network TV is beyond me(yeah I know he had a small role on a show set in Hawaii). I'm have no doubt it would be a big hit even now.God bless the Guthries. I hope his kind of music makes a comeback and the godawful singers and the bad music that dominate the charts now, become as extinct as the dinosaur.

I Have NEVER heard a better version of this song in my life, not even Elvis' version comes close. I Come back to listen to it all the time. And all these people coming together in song just for several minutes, it's a beautiful thing. I wish I could find a CD with this version on it.

One of my all time favourites. The story, the 'folk' tempo that Arlo gives to the song. Pete's reaction. Everything in this video is worthwhile. Thanks for sharing with us.

I said too much on my last post about Elvis, without giving my thanks to the person who posted this - Arlo did a fantastic job explaining how we get too wrapped sometimes on conceptions of songs and should just enjoy being together. BTW, when my wife I were married, this was the song at our wedding's first dance.

People don't realize the effect and influence that guy from Memphis called Elvis had on generations of performers - from Dylan, Guthrie, Lennon, Bowie, Steven Tyler, Jim Morrison and on and on and on. I thought Elvis was so square growing up - then as I started listening to Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Springsteen, The Doors, CCR etc etc, I found one common bond they all shared - they all idolized Elivs, I researched further and was blown away by Elivs' Sun Recordings from the 50's, revolutionary.

@montycombs arlo takes songs and lifts them to another level. He succeeds in taking full advantage of music and lyrics (and storytelling) for an ultimate emotional experience.
