Notes:
This is the first 45 minutes of a concert that probably lasted 90 minutes or longer. It took place outdoors in a park on Onondaga Lake near Syracuse on one particularly hot Sunday afternoon in July. There is a note on the box that says '2nd gen', but no other recording info. The crowd noise is a bit loud in spots (thankfully it provides a few laughs!), but they tend to keep it down during the songs. Not a bad listen overall, sonically speaking. Content-wise, I was struck by how much of this resonates today - maybe even stronger - some 50 years on. The world could use another Pete Seeger, or three, right about now. (A few more Arlo's wouldn't hurt either.) Cheers!
