notes: 
This concert is a rare gem. It may be the ONLY "complete" (or nearly so, a few songs were left out of the PBS broadcast) concert of Pete in his prime (ok, a few years after his prime), and what a great concert it is. While Pete sticks to his familiar repertoire of sing-along standards (I'm Gonna Be An Engineer being the one exception), Arlo is all over the musical map, flatpicking an Irish fiddle tune, a bluegrass flavored Beatles cover, and telling not one but two shaggy dog stories in a row, including the hilarious "origin" of Tzena Tzena (which, of course, Pete and the Weavers made famous in 1950.) The finale of Lonesome Valley and Amazing Grace is...amazing. The symbolic father/son pairing of Pete and Arlo is inspired, and Woody's ghost is clearly present as these two legendary troubadours harmonize together.
