With all the divisiveness in our country watching this version of this wonderful song is something we need to encourage people to listen to it is such a wonderful tribute and message!
But now the political left has become aligned with the donor class and now supports intel agencies and full blown censorship...I was a leftist for most of my life but now they are in league with some evil forces. Old Pete would reject censorship and the attack on the first amendment by these fascist frauds of the modern left.
Very true, I have suggested to my overpaid do nothing Congressman & overpaid Senators in Arizona that this land is your land be made our national anthem, they didn’t listen to me at all. The late Robert F.Kennedy Senior wanted this land is your land be made our national anthem.
My late husband had a blues grass band- he was a devoted Woody, Arlo and Peter Seger fan. He ended every night his band played with ""This Land is Your Land" . His 12 string was autographed by Pete Seeger when he attended the Folk Life Festival in Seattle. There is a big tribute at the Grand Coulee Dam in our state to Woody who wrote the song Roll On Columbia.
Hello Rachel Cronin, I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
Woody taught them personally to Arlo when he was a teenager. Arlo told him they were teaching "TLIYL" in school, but only the first couple verses. Woody was already suffering his degenerative condition and it was tough for him to sing and play, but he said, "it's important that you learn the last couple verses."
@@leesanna7835 🌿 Thanks, Lee. Now I have some names to look up. I Googled Ronnie Gilbert and listened to her sing. Such a beautiful voice! Writeup said she inspired Mary Travers who was in the audience for a significant performance at Carnegie Hall in December of 1955. But then I'm sure she and Pete and the rest inspired a lot of newcomers. If you haven't listened to Arlo's live version of "I Can't help Falling in Love With You" (with Pete Seeger), I'm sure you you'd love it!
Sunday morning, coming down, is a song 🎵 that resonates, so such with my late teenage and early 20s years. This first Sunday since Kris passed will be poignant. Thank you for the memories.
When my son was born - first thing I did /bought for him was a book of "Songs by Woody" for children. Cassette of songs came with a book. We played it in the car, during bath time, etc.. He loved them . He's in his 20's now . We still talk about the good memories & fun from those songs - and the ones he loved best.
In this video we also see/hear Hoyt Axton who many people may have seen in the movie Gremlins. He also wrote many songs we've heard mostly performed by among others, Ringo Star.
This video gets me every time. What a rich cultural heritage we have! I came of age in the 60's and the folk movement grabbed me before rock n roll did and then came traditional jazz and I draw on all of it in my own work.
This a very strong attachment to me, as a new immigrant to Canada over 35 years ago, we use to sing this song in school, at the time I did not no the significance of the song, but as five year child who did not speak much English, the support and kindness showered upon from my teachers and classmates reminded later in the life that indeed this land is over everyone. We need to spread the love and harmony to each other, and this world will be a better place. This is one my favorite childhood songs.
When I was in elementary school, we sang The Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and This Land Is Your Land. Growing up, I thought it was an "official" song. Later in life, I got to know the Seegers, and found out what it really means. It does not mean socialism, nor does it mean communism. It means sharing. It means that in order to survive in this world, we must share, otherwise we all shall lose.
Respectfully, we have to think these issues & beliefs through. We have what we call 1% who didn't acquire their money through hard work. We may have thought that at one time, but their extreme greed is now to hard to miss. We can make our country whatever we want it to be. We have enough money to create a great world, where every child gets a good start in life. Over past several decades, we've seen a big change. The very wealthiest in our country want more & more. They've lost their compassion & aren't really bothered by poverty or what caused it. This is an old story - the welfare people are lazy, don't deserve anything, cut them off & then 1% get more. Ok, sorry I'm starting to rant. We got dangerous times right now.
It's about sharing, isn't that what Jesus said? We have to learn how to share.... its not easy, if everybody thinks of security instead of prosperity that comes from sharing. This isn't communism, this is about the last step before heaven that can part/liberate/redeem us from the hell of fighting countries, governments splitting, industrial titans crashing the world... they provoked us deeply to believe that by locking all goods reigns out freedom and wealth.... an illusion that is totally a part of all day consciousness. All injected by the thred and thrill money gives us. Money monkeys, that's what has become of humanity. Me including, sorry.... In 30, 50 years most common work will be done by robots in western countries. Many will not have any work. What about hard working people and why they should share their hard gathered income with the poor. Yes, that's right, but think, how many really work hard, but later look in their drinking glass, in the evening, finding it quite empty because of exhausted time they spent earning? Where there is the quiet happiness of satifaction..? They are hunters, but hunted of the worst ghost: the rush of proofing. If you want to proof to the world anything about how worthy you are, your glass will be always mostly empty, and you left thirsty! GOD speaks: to all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life ! (REV 21,6) And about those ill people from nowadays, them without tasks or any future goal, suffering from amnesia of their being a person with a deed in life are produced by the century of growing meaningless idols, empty shelves of abandoned libraries. The forgotten stories where we came from..... BTW The very very rich ain't working hard, their money works hard on the world.... *thank* *you* *for* *uploading* this beautiful song and video!

July 14: Happy birthday Folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, studiowner. RIP, Woody. Blessings
This is the first song I learned in school. I agree it should be the national anthem because it includes the whole country and imigrants and poor alike.
That was great! Nice to see Woody’s sister Mary Jo in there, who I knew years ago in Seminole, Oklahoma. And great to see Hoyt Axton and all the other more familiar faces. Wonderful! Thanks!
From Arlo this morning to Pete, you and me: Pete Seeger: I usually do a little meditation and prayer every night before I go to sleep - Just part of the routine. Last night, I decided to go visit Pete Seeger for a while, just to spend a little time together, it was around 9 PM. So I was sitting in my home in Florida, having a lovely chat with Pete, who was in a hospital in New York City. That's the great thing about thoughts and prayers- You can go or be anywhere. I simply wanted him to know that I loved him dearly, like a father in some ways, a mentor in others and just as a dear friend a lot of the time. I'd grown up that way - loving the Seegers - Pete & Toshi and all their family. I let him know I was having trouble writing his obituary (as I'd been asked) but it seemed just so silly and I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound trite or plain stupid. "They'll say something appropriate in the news," we agreed. We laughed, we talked, and I took my leave about 9:30 last night. "Arlo" he said, sounding just like the man I've known all of my life, "I guess I'll see ya later." I've always loved the rising and falling inflections in his voice. "Pete," I said. "I guess we will." I turned off the light and closed my eyes and fell asleep until very early this morning, about 3 AM when the texts and phone calls started coming in from friends telling me Pete had passed away. "Well, of course he passed away!" I'm telling everyone this morning. "But that doesn't mean he's gone." Arlo Guthrie, this morning on Facebook, Jan 28, 2014.
What's wonderful is that we can continue to enjoy the music of all the giants. I'm so glad to have lived so many decades and to have seen some very special people perform right here in the City of Angels. God bless and you all have blessed us with your wonderful songs.
Pete and Toshi's legacies shall never die. They shall live on in Human History forever! Many of us unofficial "Children of the Seegers" continue to fight for everything that this wonderful couple worked for for so long.
This made me cry. With all the corruption and lies of trump and his cronies to see and read this simple, loving memory of Pete Seeger by Arlo Guthrie just made me feel so human and hopeful again. Thank you for sharing!
With all due respect to the male singers, and all the other women, Judy Collins just ignites this song with a light and a heat that is unmatched. Now I gotta go find a version done by her. And thanks for the inclusion of this song here.
Great! By that you must mean the Unions, their organsisers, their lawyers and the ACLU, because that's where your freedom has come from (unless you are an old white male landowner)
You really, really miss the point of This Land Is Your Land. You turn it into a song of exclusion when in reality it's a song of inclusion.. Are you one of the minority of people that thinks America has been made great, again, when it has always been great? You're a descendant of immigrants like all of us.
This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
Problem is, most people don’t know all the verses. I did at a very young age and actually got in trouble for them! I was lucky enough to be exposed to a lot of live music and so forth, but I was told by a teacher the other verses were “unAmerican.” When I got home I told my whole family about it, and I don’t remember who out of my big extended family told me that if that as true that lady did not live in the same America we did, and I do remember my mom’s first cousin Gwen reminding me later that weekend that our families were here before there was this bad kinda America and we would be here long after. So I decided to protest my kindergarten teacher’s idea of America and refused to say the pledge of Allegiance. Of course in a class of forty kids from age four to seven, she didn’t even notice! I wish all those years ago I had thought to take a knee! I did proliferate my sedition by teaching my friends and classmates the whole song and one day we walked all around the outside of the school singing it, and then the second grade teacher joined in and the whole effect of the protest was lost. Still, it was fun. Thank you so much for posting this iconic track. We need to bring it forward across the generations.
hmm maybe they do, you just assume they don't for whatever reason. im 18 and i've been a huge admirer of folk music and its artists for years. i also aspire to be a folk tobadeur myself one day. dont discourage the youth with comments that make them think that they are not any good, comments that make them think that they are just born to lose, bound to lose, no good to nobody, no good for nothing, because they are too old or too young.
@@qtpysusie54 they shouldnt be told what to like. as long as people find beauty and joy in the music they listen to, that should be enough. it's not music for everyone, just like the popular music is not for these minorities. sure, i'd love to know people with whom i could share my love for the good ole folk songs, but i simply hope that in the future i'll come across someone else, part of this minority of the youth.
On a day when that specific song Woody was referring to in the opening lines of this clip is blaring from speakers across the country, I'm thankful to have this video to come back to.
Gosh, Arlo, how many years ago was it that you were up at Woody's Road House up in Washington, Mass. and Woody Whittier introduced us. Probably more years than either of us wish to admit to. 🙂

This is why the old governments are collapsing, its time has expired and hasn't benefited the will of the people.

Never knew a man more generous with his musical talent. And his talent was considerably more than musical. RIP Pete Seeger.

July 14: Happy birthday Folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, studiowner. RIP, Woody. Blessings
Fantastisch!!!!!!!!!
these are so good songs that tell a story love it RIP Pete Woody.....Peace will come some day......Dan
amen
Thank you absolutely loved it
This should be our national anthem.
I agree 100 percent.
Marvelous video ! Thanks for showing !
Here's a blast from the past...Arlo, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and a host of others..This Land is My Land.
This rocks big time. Peace on...
This is the first song I learned in school. I agree it should be the national anthem because it includes the whole country and imigrants and poor alike.
That was great! Nice to see Woody’s sister Mary Jo in there, who I knew years ago in Seminole, Oklahoma. And great to see Hoyt Axton and all the other more familiar faces. Wonderful! Thanks!
Joyous music!!!! 💚💚💚☮️
From Arlo this morning to Pete, you and me:
Pete Seeger:
I usually do a little meditation and prayer every night before I go to sleep - Just part of the routine. Last night, I decided to go visit Pete Seeger for a while, just to spend a little time together, it was around 9 PM. So I was sitting in my home in Florida, having a lovely chat with Pete, who was in a hospital in New York City. That's the great thing about thoughts and prayers- You can go or be anywhere.
I simply wanted him to know that I loved him dearly, like a father in some ways, a mentor in others and just as a dear friend a lot of the time. I'd grown up that way - loving the Seegers - Pete & Toshi and all their family.
I let him know I was having trouble writing his obituary (as I'd been asked) but it seemed just so silly and I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound trite or plain stupid. "They'll say something appropriate in the news," we agreed. We laughed, we talked, and I took my leave about 9:30 last night.
"Arlo" he said, sounding just like the man I've known all of my life, "I guess I'll see ya later." I've always loved the rising and falling inflections in his voice. "Pete," I said. "I guess we will."
I turned off the light and closed my eyes and fell asleep until very early this morning, about 3 AM when the texts and phone calls started coming in from friends telling me Pete had passed away.
"Well, of course he passed away!" I'm telling everyone this morning. "But that doesn't mean he's gone."
Arlo Guthrie, this morning on Facebook, Jan 28, 2014.
What's wonderful is that we can continue to enjoy the music of all the giants. I'm so glad to have lived so many decades and to have seen some very special people perform right here in the City of Angels. God bless and you all have blessed us with your wonderful songs.
Pete and Toshi's legacies shall never die. They shall live on in Human History forever!
Many of us unofficial "Children of the Seegers" continue to fight for everything that this wonderful couple worked for for so long.
oh where have all the flowers gone?
❤️
This made me cry. With all the corruption and lies of trump and his cronies to see and read this simple, loving memory of Pete Seeger by Arlo Guthrie just made me feel so human and hopeful again. Thank you for sharing!
With all due respect to the male singers, and all the other women, Judy Collins just ignites this song with a light and a heat that is unmatched. Now I gotta go find a version done by her. And thanks for the inclusion of this song here.
totally agree - have you been able to find a version similar to this one?
What a beautiful nightingale!!

Das ist einfach Klasse!
I love Woody Gutherie, the mentor of the great Bob Dylan!
My another favorite song with Arlo anf Woody !!!
Today - 68 years before, when he was born !!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARLO !!!
(born July 10, 1947)
WOW.. just WOW a beautiful thing to watch... thank you...
Real good stuff! 👍😄
Thanks - appreciate the inspiration and the memories!
Nice look into the past, I haven't seen this movie or this clip from it.
Wonderful version.
Great montage. So many legends. Thanks!
Love this song and Woody...saw him and Arlo at Belle Isle in Detroit when I was very young..
Remember this song always American citizen's born and raised in this country and especially those who fight for our freedoms!!!
Great! By that you must mean the Unions, their organsisers, their lawyers and the ACLU, because that's where your freedom has come from (unless you are an old white male landowner)
You really, really miss the point of This Land Is Your Land. You turn it into a song of exclusion when in reality it's a song of inclusion.. Are you one of the minority of people that thinks America has been made great, again, when it has always been great? You're a descendant of immigrants like all of us.
It just came up on my feed and made me cry.
God Bless these good People . Peace and Love.
0:33 Looking like Uncle Max outta Ben 10 in that get up
Inspiring - Folk Heroes Eternal the lot of 'em. THANK YOU STUDIOWNER (I'm keeping my eye on you in future - smick vid - Cheers from tin lizzy)
Wonderful song. God bless America
The guy in the red Hawaiian shirt is Hoyt Axton. He was also an actor, mainly remembered for playing the dad in Gremlins.
Bellissima questa versione!!!🤼👬👬🏃🕺🤩🤩😍😍😍😘🎸♥️♥️♥️♥️💯
Your videos are so good and you are the best at it.
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
A wise person once told me "Government must be the conscience of big business, it has none of it's own"
EINFACH TRAUMHAFT EIN GROSSARTIGES MUSIKDOKUMENT
lovely
FINALLY, per usual, Mr. Seeger and group sing ALL the verses.
In these days we all should listen to this
I like this star studded folk ensemble version.
Problem is, most people don’t know all the verses. I did at a very young age and actually got in trouble for them! I was lucky enough to be exposed to a lot of live music and so forth, but I was told by a teacher the other verses were “unAmerican.” When I got home I told my whole family about it, and I don’t remember who out of my big extended family told me that if that as true that lady did not live in the same America we did, and I do remember my mom’s first cousin Gwen reminding me later that weekend that our families were here before there was this bad kinda America and we would be here long after. So I decided to protest my kindergarten teacher’s idea of America and refused to say the pledge of Allegiance. Of course in a class of forty kids from age four to seven, she didn’t even notice! I wish all those years ago I had thought to take a knee! I did proliferate my sedition by teaching my friends and classmates the whole song and one day we walked all around the outside of the school singing it, and then the second grade teacher joined in and the whole effect of the protest was lost. Still, it was fun. Thank you so much for posting this iconic track. We need to bring it forward across the generations.
If today's kids could just hear this true gem.
hmm maybe they do, you just assume they don't for whatever reason. im 18 and i've been a huge admirer of folk music and its artists for years. i also aspire to be a folk tobadeur myself one day. dont discourage the youth with comments that make them think that they are not any good, comments that make them think that they are just born to lose, bound to lose, no good to nobody, no good for nothing, because they are too old or too young.
@@australopithecus_lucis Good grief kid, I meant nothing derogatory by that; but you are in the minority. More kids should listen, how bout that?
@@qtpysusie54 they shouldnt be told what to like. as long as people find beauty and joy in the music they listen to, that should be enough. it's not music for everyone, just like the popular music is not for these minorities. sure, i'd love to know people with whom i could share my love for the good ole folk songs, but i simply hope that in the future i'll come across someone else, part of this minority of the youth.
@@australopithecus_lucis Me too.
On a day when that specific song Woody was referring to in the opening lines of this clip is blaring from speakers across the country, I'm thankful to have this video to come back to.
Gosh, Arlo, how many years ago was it that you were up at Woody's Road House up in Washington, Mass. and Woody Whittier introduced us. Probably more years than either of us wish to admit to. 🙂
Thank you. This made my day.
Absolute Classic
