I saw Arlo with Pete Seeger at the Greek in LA in '85. Lot's of story telling, with both of them taking turns taking the lead, while the other simply played. It was a very cool show. At the time, for me to go was my statement against all things "Flock of Seagulls/Animotion" Capezio's and skinny ties. Seeger is an institution unto himself, and I would say it was a little more about him than Arlo at that time. I was VERY much in the minority as a 19yr old at that show.

It was a great concert with a full band and backup vocals in a great small venue that seated the 750 sold out crowd. Arlo was excellent and did some Leadbelly stuff, Woodie's songs and his own great songs plus the story telling had people rolling. He signed our 45 for Pat of her "City of New Orleans" and let me take a picture of her & him together. Great to see him, next on our list is JOHN PRINE.
I saw Arlo Guthrie a few years ago in a small theater here where I live. Arlo didn't have to travel far as he lives in Roseland Florida which is only about 1-hour + north of here. He put on a good concert with the afore mentioned stories.
John Prine...now that's a name you don't hear often. Another great ballad singer/songwriter.
Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
