John Stewart Live at the Birchmere-2001

This was recorded in January, 2001 at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. The occasion was the WFMA Trbute to John Stewart.
In this clip John is joined by Dave Batti, John Hoke, Chuck McDermott, Henry Diltz, Dennis Kenmore, Pete Kennedy, Dave Crossland, and Maura Kennedy and Buffy Ford Stewart.
John told me before the gig that he was going to leave them bleeding in the aisles and he certainly did.

@TucsonDavid1 Nice, but CALIFORNIA BLOODLINES and CANNONS IN THE RAIN are my faves.

As long as people are campaigning for John's best album(s), my vote goes to two 80's gems "Bullets in the Hourglass" and "Punch the Big Guy." ......they include Strange Rivers, Runaway Train, Irresistible Targets, Botswana, and Ticket to the Stars among others. Give these two CD's a listen!

Loved the Birchmere! Is it still there?

Isn't that rock photographer extraordinaire Henry Diltz to John's right (our left) on back-up vocals?

where was i when he this show took place? too busy being a teenager in the DC area... i wish i had been there, i got into his music by accident really, i was surfing a record shop two years ago, found California Bloodlines and i really liked the cover, bought it, then found out the next day that he died the day i bought it! every since then i have felt a very close connection to his music, it's hard to explain, but i've become a huge and am slowly catching up on his career

What a shame he's gone. Luckily his vocation allows him to live on forever. Thanks for the post.

Agreed re: The Phoenix Concerts. Bought my first copy of the LP in 75, second in 80 or so, then the CD about 15 years ago. Arrangements of all the favorites are the best (Bloodlines, Cody, July...)
