Got this for my dad who was at this concert and it really took him back. Good sound quality and classic performances.

this was a great era prior to the outbreak in southeast asia it literaly set the stage, for the protest songs soon to follow a great nostalgic view of the past

The Newport Folk Festival 1963/ The evening concerts Vol.1: Historic? Yes, but this CD is just plain entertaining! With all the (now) big names on this disk it is Sam Hinton who steals the show, right from the get go, with his very funny Barnyard Song and Arkansas Traveler. The tone of all the songs has a certain unity to them even though the tracks run the full range of emotions. A great disk of a great time.

This is the Historic Concert where Bob Dylan comes on stage to lead the assembled singers in singing Blowin' in the Wind. The people who joined him on stage to sing were Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Theodore Bikel, Richard and Mimi (Baez) Farina, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Freedom Singers, Pete Seeger. The entire ensembled were photographed by David Garh and Published on the issue of Sing Out that reviewed the Newport Folk Festival.
