Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant 1997 Massacree Concert

[EuroObserver]

Excellent version. Here: http://www.arlo.net/massacree/

"You wanna end war and stuff you've got to sing loud and long all the time so people can hear you..."



Also: "Alice's Restaurant isn't around anymore. But, as the song says, "Alice didn't live in a restaurant. She lived in the church nearby the restaurant..." And the old Trinity Church, where Alice once lived and where the saga began has become home to The Guthrie Center and The Guthrie Foundation." Here: http://www.guthriecenter.org/main.shtml

1. Wow, that is really cool

I read about the Guthrie Center, and find it very interesting that a center based on the concept that all roads lead to God, or that "we're all one big soul" as Woody wrote in "Tom Joad" is in the Berkshires. Just over the border in New Lebanon NY, in the original Shaker community buildings, is the Abode of the Message, which is saying the same thing.

2. Thanks. He's one of my favorite singers.

Disney has a bunch of the old rock and roll singers in for their Flower Power festival every year. Arlo is one of them. They also have Paul Revere and the Raiders. The year of the Iraq invasion, Paul Revere sang no anti-war songs. No comments about the war except they sang God Bless America and were very pro-America. Arlo didn't dissappoint anyone. He was still anti-war. Great to have somethings not change.

4. Hi! Glad you're enjoying this.

I just got back home after a hard day's work (joke, but I think it went ok) and I think I'll play it again...

Maybe we here at DU could work up some kind of database of Vietnam-era great music of the Movement... Inspire today's young, and all...

ed: correction: guess this is from 1999.
