A Tribute to Woody Guthrie
This historical event took place on the 12th of December, 1970 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. We are treated to some amazing performances by an All-Star Line-up. Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Ramblin Jack among others perform in this tribute to the legendary songwriter.
However, the concert also doubled up as a Charity Gig. Although it was a Tribute to Woody Guthrie, the proceeds would go to the California Chapter of The Committee to Combat Huntington’s Disease. However, this is now called the Hereditary Disease Foundation. This was the disease that Killed the Folk legend in 1967.
The Video is narrated by Peter Fonda and will Greer as they take us through the story of Woody Guthrie’s Life, Works and Travels. But we also hear some recollections from Woody himself on the Dustbowl years and his Travels tryna find work. The Video was produced by four-time Emmy Award winner Jim Brown and he does a brilliant Job of it. A great concert from Start to finish.
