http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=308268


Karen, the Donovan Completeist (KayDee02) wrote profound comments
on both, showing the variety of available June 20, 1981 recordings.

Finally she listed "Arlo Guthrie & Donovan - Folkfestival auf der Donauinsel"
from the same day, a Bootleg CD recording i've heard of, but never seen so far.


This torrent here has nothing to do with this CD,
as it's from our traded tapes - I even cannot confirm
the 14 track setlist there, but i truly doubt it...

Maybe one of our dear fellow DIMErs was there ?





About this concert:

Found this short recording as filler on one of our old tapes.
No further story to tell, except it was another trade with "RG"
(famous for, inter alia, his Jimi Hendrix recordings...) and
his great group of nice and truly friendy maniacs...read more
about the "New Advanced Vienna Taper Section" here:

EIRE APPARENT - January 22, 1969 - Grosser Saal, Konzerthaus, Vienna, Austria

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=295084


Here is an excerpt of my PM to Karen:

As you've written, a lot of confusion with all these shows and their correct
running order...One of the best known Vienna taper, Roland, has passed away
12 years ago, and seemingly nobody knows what happend to his collection.

RG used these 20 - 30 minutes concert excerpts both ways, as filler and as
teaser...but when you're young, you never think what's goin' to happen 20,
30 or even more years later...he was always there, like lots others...reachable...

Growing up, you lose contact...other interests, partners, jobs, relocation...
Nowadays you can find a lot of old trading pals out there in torrentland, a
lot quitted, and others passed away...all their collections get lost...forever...



FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT OF THE ARCHIVE,
COMPLETELY UNTRADED & UNALTERED - PLEASE ENJOY!

Folkmusic-Festival auf der Donauinsel (the motto & the venue...open air...)
Vienna (the city)
Austria (the country)

June 20, 1981 (the date)



Vienna (German: Wien; Austro-Bavarian: Wean) is the capital of the Republic
of Austria and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary
city, with a population of about 1.7 million (2.3 million within the metropolitan
area, more than 25% of Austria's population), and is by far the largest city in
Austria, as well as its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 10th
largest city by population in the European Union. Vienna is host to many major
international organizations such as the United Nations and OPEC. Vienna lies in
the east of Austria and is close to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

# RAW FILES - so NO additional NoiseReduction or EQ'ing was used here,
and none of those compressors, Sonic Maximizers or other psychoacoustic
processors - just some of the instrumental plug-ins reduced , balanced
the stereo channels (just a touch) and finally normalized. The only
further addition to the RAW files was a short fade-in and, at the end, a
fade-out - in the audience applause, so truly NO MUSIC was harmed or lost.





this upload here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archives.

And if there's some interest, maybe there is MORE TO COME...
it just depends on YOUR demeanor, and lotta useful comments ;-)





Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other in Coney Island,
Brooklyn, New York in 1947. He is the eldest son of the United State's most beloved singer/ writer/philosopher, Woody Guthrie, and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie. His mother was a professional
dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat Huntington's
Disease. He grew up surrounded by dancers and musicians: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred
Hellerman and Lee Hays (The Weavers), Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny
Terry and Brownie McGee, all of whom were significant influences on Arlo's musical career.

Arlo gave his first public performance at age 13 and quickly became involved in the music
that was shaping the world during the 1960s. Arlo practically lived in the most famous venues
of the "Folk Boom" era. In New York City he hung out at Gerdes Folk City, The Gaslight and
The Bitter End. In Boston it was Club 47 and in Philadelphia he made places like The 2nd Fret
and The Main Point his home.

Arlo witnessed the transition from an earlier generation of ballad singers like Richard
Dyer-Bennet and blues-men like Mississippi John Hurt, to a new era of singer-song writers
such as Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Joan Baez, and Phil Ochs. He grooved with the beat poets like
Allen Ginsburg and Lord Buckley, and picked with players like Bill Monroe and Doc Watson. He
learned something from everyone and developed his own style, becoming a distinctive, expressive
voice in a crowded community of singer- songwriters and political-social commentators.

Arlo Guthrie's career exploded in 1967 with the release of his album, Alice's Restaurant, whose
title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival and helped foster a new commitment to social consciousness and activism among the '60s generation. Arlo went on to star in the 1969 Hollywood
film version of Alice's Restaurant, directed by Arthur Penn.

Though Arlo’s definitive rendition of Steve Goodman's"City of New Orleans" may have been his
only “hit” song in the traditional sense, he has never the less achieved international stature.
The 18 minute "Alice's Restaurant," while too long for radio airplay, has become an American
classic. The song "Coming into Los Angeles," though banned from many radio stations when first
released, had become a favorite by the time he played it at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and it
remains a favorite today.

Over the last four decades Arlo has toured throughout North America, Europe, Africa, Asia
and Australia winning a broad and dedicated following. In addition to being an accomplished
musician—playing the piano, six and twelve- string guitar, harmonica and a dozen other
instruments - Arlo is a natural-born storyteller whose hilarious tales and anecdotes are
woven seamlessly into his performances.
