Wow. This is originally from a PBS show in Chicago called Soundstage. It was a 1 hour televised concert headlined by Arlo Guthrie. Hoyt Axton and Steve Goodman also appeared. I taped it on a portable tape recorder from the TV when it first aired, and am delighted to hear this version again after all these years! I prefer it to his album version for its simplicity - his exquisite guitar playing and sensitive vocal. I hope some day it's put out in HQ audio. For now this is really really nice!
Steve recorded it beautifully on his 1st 1971 self-titled album. He was an incredible musician and songwriter, whose music passes the test of time. Glad you like this one, hope you'll check it out on the cd.
Pure Deep Love , at the first stage. "Would U like to learn to Dance..". I'd LOVE to hear this song, another Steve Goodman version.but in studio ... Voice of an angel.. and Swsst Guitar .
Ahhhhhh. I've been waiting for this since I watched the Goodman documentary. Songs don't get any better than this. Thank you so much for posting. Goodman an angel on earth, with us so briefly.
Listening to this, watching this, brought tears to my eyes. I haven't heard it in so long, but I remember it so well. Thank you.
