...bringing in a couple of keys.
Arlo Guthrie was on PBS doing a special called Alice's Restaurant 50 Year Anniversary Concert recently and I taped it on my DVR. Was just listening to it. He is singing the title of this post now. He is supposed to do Alice's Restaurant and that is what I am waitng for. My all time favorite silliness song of all time. He was just talking about his experience at Woodstock. Do you know what I am talking about?

@celticeagle Yes it definitely was, although I do not think that I have ever heard it since, which must be approaching 50 years ago by now.

I certainly do! Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendric, Santana, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez!!!
Last year Joan Baez came to my country and gave 2 concerts. I knew a girl who works on TV and she gave me 2 tickets in the 5th row, center.
I invited a friend who stopped all she was doing that day and we had the evening of a lifetime.
I was happy to discover that Joan Baez is still singing in the same line she sang so many decades ago when we both were young.
I saw there many elderly people watching with the same wet eyes that I had.

@celticeagle I don´t consider myself elderly. I´m a 70 year young fan. Joan Baez not omly sang, but she also danced. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! There was a young man around my age in front of me who wiped his eyes as I did.

I do know what your talking about and would have been there if I hadn't moved to Kansas and wasn't pregnant. He is one of my all time favorite singers. Thanks for the memories

I love Alice's Restaurant - I saw the movie and I have the original soundtrack, which includes Joni Mitchell too - the film of Woodstock is also great. The anniversary concert sounds awesome.

@celticeagle apart from the catchy chorus the song is a long spoken comedy monologue about Guthrie getting busted for fly tipping which the cops totally over reacted to

...a place you are glad you weren't at? Oh, honey. It was the most peaceful three days this earth has seen in centuries. I wish I had made it there at least for one day.

@celticeagle In August of 1969 I was a young newlywed living in Hawaii - much nicer weather than the mud at Woodstock!

It was three days of complete peace and no violence. Can't say that about adults ever getting together for that long without some kind of violence.

It was sure a kick to see that program and hear his tunes again. He's is so comical but also a fine musician.

Alice's Restaurant was a good silly song. I was alive (a kid) when Woodstock happened, and Joni Mitchell wrote a good song by that name. I have the Crosby Stills and Nash version in my collection. I sing Deportees, by Guthrie's father.

All good music. Arlo's dad was quite the fellow too. Fruit picking must be quite an adventure.
