One of the true underrated greats , paying tribute to a brilliant artist whose passion, and issues robbed him of the will to live with us, but whose talent remains untouched.
How wonderful to watch him perform this song! I saw him perform this and other amazing songs at a small New York coffeehouse in the early '70s. He's always been one of my favorite singer-songwriters.
Eric is touring right now, doing a series of intimate shows in the northeast & midwest US. He continues to make some excellent music, and he's touring with Steve Addabbo & other fine players supporting him. He & Tom Paxton remain vibrant, vital connections to the 1960s folksong tradition, although Eric has expanded his musical horizons into rock & jazz, as well. He is a treasure to watch perform. . .
Saw Eric singing Thirsty Boots in A Montreal Cafe in the early 60's. He was playing guitar with a quarter, since he didn't have a pick. I had one and passed it over to him. Sweet memory.
Yay, found this..as a young woman we had a group of 13 ladies who formed The Young Folk here in Nova Scotia, Canada and this was one of my favourite songs.
For a long time I couldn’t find this. I got involved in the civil rights movement in my early teens and then in the anti war movement . This song was one of our anthems
@@oshesa1 Dari, be sure to watch the new documentary that just came out 4/24/21). You will love it (I think). And I had no idea you were a fan. Well, of course it makes sense, but I don't think we ever talked about it.
@@yllibeitak i've followed eric since the 60s when i got "today is the highway" and first saw him at the cafe au go go. but you assume i know who you are...unfortunately i don't. help me out...
accidentally ran into him at a deli lunch place in philly in the wayback.....he wasn't used to being recognized......we had a good time.....we collected everyone's unused parsley sprigs on the way out...."do you want this parsley?..no? ...mind if we take it?..."...it was sooooo cooooool.... :)
He asked the audience to sing with him. If the audience sang, I didn't hear them-perhaps because I was busy singing along in the choruses. A great song, by a great performer.
@@padraiggillon why was that was Dillon known to just not show up or what? I was like 12 during Woodstock and the peace movement back in '68 boomer though and I did walk out of class with a black arm band protesting the vietnam war.
He transports us all to our better days. Times of youth and optimism.Lovely song from a lovely time.

Love Eric Andersen, very properly rated

As did i. On a Tuesday night. James Taylor dropped in unannounced and premiered a few songs he was still working out...
Me, too. At the Other End and the Bitter End.
Great song, great singer, lovely guitarplay
🌹🌞👌❣️
Fine tribute to Phill Ochs🌷
Phil encouraged Andersen to finish this song. It's a fitting tribute to the lost troubadour.

yes we saw him in Buffalo a great show

by any chance, any of you ladies run into an American who retired up in Nova Scotia about 20-25 yrs ago---Rusty Jander and wife, Mary???
Any relation to Wade Hemsworth?
Beautiful....and exquisite guitar work too
So sadly underrated, amazing voice and talent!
His net worth's currently at 32 million USD, so while underrated his work's certainly been appreciated lol
I think he’s properly rated

Vastly underrated sixties artist
amen! great songwriter and wonderful talent.
Absolutely agree. That lost or missing album at Columbia wrecked his chance for stardom.
Yes, I try and catch his shows when he's in the NYC area.

Thanks for uploading songs from this concert. Phil is my favorite journalist/singer/songwriter.
Maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just looking for the evening
And the morning in your eyes
I had the biggest crush 😍 on him! I played this on my guitar
A beautiful song, sung and played as well as can be!
what a talent

That songs so pretty...it made me tear up.
I saw this in 1976 still love this song
Great song. Brilliant playing. Toured with townes vsn zandt also I think.
Yep. Eric was a good friend. He actually co-wrote a few songs with Townes if I remember correctly
Last time I heard Mr Andersen was in Ann Arbor Mich (Tin Pan Alley), i think that was the Name of the album back then...around 68.
Eric is still playing and his shows are wonderful.
Greatness.
He asked the audience to sing with him. If the audience sang, I didn't hear them-perhaps because I was busy singing along in the choruses. A great song, by a great performer.
1st time I heard him was at a folk festival at University of Buffalo.
To bad you never made it big.
I was there...Felt Forum
hey, thanks for that, i was in the audience in nyc for this show!! we were all waiting for Dylan to come out and --he never did --of course--
Of course he didn't. Murderer.

First heard this on a Judy Collins album I bought in highschool in the 70's
It's as ancient as Spartans at Thermopylae but men made that stand.
At the time of my commenting there's a typo in the video title. It says "Thirst Boots" haha
How come I never realized it for ten years 🤔🤔
