5.0 out of 5 stars Best Folk Music CD Ever, April 29, 2005

About 20 years ago I sold all my albums and started replacing them with compact discs. A few of the albums were hard to part with, because they weren't available on cd yet. This was the toughest one for me to give up and I was thrilled to see it out on cd last year. I ordered it and found it even better than I remembered.

This concert was originally recorded for a PBS concert special. It's just Pete and Arlo, a guitar, a banjo and a piano. They sing a collection of folk songs, old and new (at the time), but mostly old. It's part concert, part tribute to Woody, Sonny, Cisco and Leadbelly.

Some of the better songs included in this collection are, "Get Up and Go," which is Pete's hilarious look at getting old, "Deportee," a great old Woody Guthrie song and "Sweet Rosyanne," which is one of those songs that's almost impossible not to sing along with.

If you like folk music and don't have this cd, buy it now and you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Most Important Folk Recordings, March 27, 2005

I believe that we tend to use the term "must have" a little too freely these days when rating the significance of a music or film genre. It's easy to do .. there is so much great stuff out there.
If we slow down a moment though and use our head as well as our heart, the significance of Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie Together in Concert as one of the genuine MUST HAVE's is obvious. It is an important and historic link in the Seeger/Guthrie folk music tradition.
For me there are few other albums that capture what folk music is about more than this one. The history, tradition, the ongoing relevance of the messages and the sweet simplicity make this an album that I am sure will be passed on and played forever. It took so long to come out on CD after having been deleted on LP for many years.
Lets hope that it never goes out of print (like many great albums do at times).
There have been a few other joint efforts by Pete and Arlo, all of which I would highly recommend (Precious Friend, More Together Again and HARP with Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert) but Together In Concert is the real MUST HAVE. Add to this Woody Guthrie, Dust Bowl Ballads, The Weavers at Carnegie Hall 1955 and Pete Seeger, We Shall Overcome The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert 1963 and you have the essential beginnings of the American Folk Music collection.
If you love American Folk Music in the tradition of the great Woody Guthrie, put this CD at the top your list and order it now.
Together in Concert will be one of the best and most important buys you make of any music genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, one of the best, February 20, 2005

I grew up though the 1950s and 60s as part of a singing family and songs of Woody Gutherie, Peter Seeger, and The Weavers were among those we sang the most. I was in college in New York City in 1975 and several times saw Pete Seeger give impromptu "sing alongs" in Riverside Park. I bought this album (in vinyl) as soon as it was released and I have played the grooves off of it in the intervening 30 or so years. My 17-year-old son is now headed off to college in New York City and this music has been part of his life. This album contains a marvelous blend of generations, audience and performers. It speaks as clearly to those with a social conscience as it did to the audience in 1975. Sure, some of the topics may be a little dated and new current events have emerged to take their places, but the messages still ring clear and true.
