OMG you've got to love this guy...he couldn't be more in love with music and what he do. If you don't like it, at least you can contemplate art in high expression. Me? I couldn't be happier watching this, thanks for posting.
Pete was one hell of a folk singer, but more than that, he exemplified good citizenry. When the McCarthy hearings rolled 'round, he told HUAC everything except what they really wanted to know, which was anything about his political leanings. For his refusal to be more forthcoming, he did time for contempt of Congress. But hey, if that one had any real enforcement, we'd jail pretty much everybody, even most members of Congress, wouldn't we? And if he achieved any acclaim toward the end of his life, he didn't play on it. When the Iraq war came along, Pete protested by standing along side a road near his home with a sign that said "Honk if you're against the war". Never lost his good sense, did he?
Wow. As a millennial, watching this video is a very cathartic experience. It serves as an escape to a place in time that seems almost unimaginable given the current landscape of our country.
Also in Melbourne at this time a young up and coming trad jazz singer by the name of Judith Durham had just started working with three talented lads who were looking for a female addition to their folk group. In 1964 they would take a working vacation to the UK, meet up with Tom Springfield and as they say....the rest is music history! jtk🍁
RIP Pete - this old world will miss you now that you're "way out there" . . . Thank you very much for uploading this classic, Miguel TC! One of my fave #'s by Pete
i'd like to think that on moonlit nights somewhere out there in the lonely wide open places of this world, just when you think you're alone, if you listen carefully you will hear Pete singing this song.
Love the song and Pete's version. This one is wonderful...I doubt anyone else could get an audience to yodel and sing harmony. It's Seeger at what he did best.
+OldFingerpickguitar In twentieth century Indian film industry, there was a person who was a lot better than him at yodeling, perhaps the best I've ever seen. Go search him up if you want to, his name is Kishore Kumar.
Chorus: Well it makes me laugh 😆 And it makes me cry.... Makes me smile when the hours drag by..... There’s nothing in this World can compare.......... Makes me wish I was in that seat.... Up front row, just a listenin’ to Pete. What I would have given .... To just be there.

I heard this song on Raising Arizona. And wanted to hear it. 😄
Me too hahah , that is Carter Burwell version !
Pete was a treasure. We were fortunate he lived so long after his persecutors were long dead, buried, and forgotten.

Production was perfect sound and video ❤
Wow, this song was such a great song in Raising Arizona, nice to see the original…😊😊😊
I'd like to think that in the lonely way out there places of the world, if the moon is just right, you can hear ol' Pete singing this tune.
bless pete.. always encouraging and entertaining despite any reluctance from the audiance
"the spirit overcame him" lol
Raising Arizona!!!!! 🙌 #Legendary!!!
He was one the greatest singer of all time. My favorite one. Rip Pete
4:03 Guy fell in the back row.
The spirit overcame him.
Ahora entiendo porque es el tema principal de Raising Arizona. Que bueno, joder

Never get tired of this gem.
Incredible! A wonderful song and poem!
By Bob Nolan

That is amazing
1963 Prophecy... They're gonna absolutely love this song in Arizona someday 😉
I am not sure what it is about this song..... it makes me laugh....it makes me cry....it is like a link to ancestors long gone.
You said it perfectly, as I am currently doing both...
Chorus:
Well it makes me laugh 😆
And it makes me cry....
Makes me smile when the
hours drag by.....
There’s nothing in this
World can compare..........
Makes me wish I was in that seat....
Up front row, just a listenin’ to Pete.
What I would have given ....
To just be there.
The guy falling out of his seat at 4:06 steals the show.
Raising Arizona

i love the version of pete seeger, is there any hd version available??? i searched, but i can't find one... can anybody help me? greetings from germany
Probably not. There was no hd in the 60's.
@@ProfesserLuigi I thought this was clear as hell for it being in the 60's
Such a peaceful time. I wonder what changed... Who's missing from that audience. Hmmmm, I wonder.
I came for Raising Arizona
"Hmm hmm... Hey, Butthead... Are they, like, yodaling? Hmm hmm heh heh hmm hmm..."
"Nah, dude... They're, like... 'scrotaling!' Huh huh...huh huh huh..."

He was really trying to get those white folks to sing into it with him but they just wldnt budge, if all 3000 wld have just yodeled it cld have been magical, I think that may have been the mans goal to have everyone in unison, that shit wld have been fire 🔥
Seems I heard a goodly number of them. More than captured by the camera.
Any banjo plays here know what hes tuned to?
Drop C
I was just waiting for a guy with a large package of Huggies, face covered by women stockings to rush to stage center from behind the crowd.
