Woody Guthrie

The Tribute Concerts

Carnegie Hall 1968 * Hollywood Bowl 1970

Release Date: September 18, 2017

 

Over 3 hours of live concert material!

After Woody Guthrie's death in 1967, a "Tribute to Woody Guthrie" was planned for two performances at Carnegie Hall.  Those who had known him, worked with him or just sung his songs felt a desire to do something.

Now, exactly 50 years after Woody's death, we invite you to hear what took place on those two iconic evenings as we present the Carnegie Hall and Hollywood Bowl concerts in their original, scripted, concert order including twenty tracks which were never included on the original LPs and are here released for the first time.

3-CD Set with two beautifully illustrated books containing historic liner notes and Guthrie biography, original concert reviews and photographs, attendees interviews and artists bios, and concert ephemera.

• Twenty never before released tracks
• Bonus tracks include interviews with Judy Collins, Jack Elliott, Arlo Guthrie, Country Joe McDonald, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, and Pete Seeger
• Rare photos and never before seen stills from the Hollywood Bowl show film masters
• Essays by Will Kaufman, Wenzel, and Sean Wilentz
• Reproduction of the original 1972 TRO Concert Book includes historic and concert photos with music notations and lyrics.
