Review 1 for Arlo Guthrie

5 / 5

Arlo was, as usual, a fantastic entertainer

Favorite moment: "In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree". I'd never heard Arlo do this song
before, and it was hilarious. @

Opening act(s): Richie Havens sang great also. In between
songs it was a little strange, but with all the good this man does, I
should put up with a little rambling that doesn't make sense. @

From the moment I could see Arlo's white hair glowing in the
black lights as he walked onto the unlit stage until the incredibly
sad moment that he left after his encore I was happily entertained.
Because I see him as often as I can when he comes to town, much
of his show I know by heart, but he did throw in a few songs and stories
that I hadn't heard before. I loved the fact that he recited his children's
book, "Mooses Come Walking", a book that I bought for my grand-
daughter a few years ago.

Friday night was the first time I have seen a show at the South Milwaukee PAC, and the first time my wife and I have seen Arlo in 27 years.....and didn't really know what to expect.......We are both huge fans of Arlo and his dad Woodys music, and were both very surprised, and happy to find out it was a tour celebrating Woodys 100th birthday and his music....IT DID NOT DISAPOINT...........The stories between the songs gave a great insite to his dad and the people that were in the inner circle of Woody throughout his life like Leadbelly, Pete Seeger,Rambling Jack Elliott, not to mention Arlos memories of is expierence with these people.......The funniest story of the night was when Arlos wife got arrested for possesion at the airport......LOL LOL......All in all, it was a wonderful evening of listening to the words and songs of a master story teller, not to mention a living piece of music history.......

Arlo Guthrie always puts on a memorable concert. His stories as well as his music makes for a great concert. The only disappointment was he did not sing Alice's Restaurant. He hinted at it but did not sing it. I have seen him 4 or 5 times but have never heard his signature song.

Arlo was very professional. He has been doing this for a very long time and it shows. The only problem I had was that he spent too much time talking about his experiences with his his father's friends. I realize his father was an icon and a real influence on him, but name dropping Leadbelly, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, and Jack Elliot got old really fast.

Posted 05/12/2013

Many in the audience like myself waited patiently all night for one song and one song only; Arlo's signature song we used to listen to over and over and could sing along with the many phrases that became pop culture and part of our vocabulary, ALICE'S RESTAURANT.

Finally after many, many unknown ditties from his father's youth that many of us never heard before, it started; the intro to ALICE'S RESTAURANT. You could feel and hear the excitment as we were all getting ready to sing along with the master. Then he stopped. Had he known it would be that popular, he said he would have made it shorter. It was too long to sing, so he went on to some more unknown songs.

It isn't as Arlo has dozens of good songs. He has ONE, his signature, the one we came to hear and he cheated the audience out of it.

Arlo Guthrie, has long been a favorite artist of mine to see in concert. This was the fourth time I have seen him in 20 years. He is always entertaining, always engaging, and always fantastic! His songs, as do the songs of his father, all have stories behind them. Mr. Guthrie is a wonderful story teller! The music is still relevant today. The songs transcend time, and are still powerful, and moving. I genuinely love his voice and music. There is an intimacy that he brings to his shows, that I seldom experience with other artists. It is hard to come away from one of his shows untouched by the experience. There is something deeper going on. I would recommend this show to anyone, young or old. I guarantee you will appreciate the talent this man has, the music, and stories he shares.

He put on one of the best concerts I have seen in a very long time with just his guitars, a piano and a harmonica. No crazy back up band, distracting lights and showy tricks. Just a man and his music. His dialogue was priceless bringing history back to life while infusing the present with magical sound and story.

Arlo Guthrie played solo in Des Moines on March 27th at the Temple for the Performing Arts, a small (280 capacity), historic venue with a ton of warmth. Arlo was on time, and gave a wonderful performance of both his father's and several of his own hits.

On a fairly simple, warmly-lighted stage, Arlo played one of four guitars (three six-string and a twelve-string) for the majority of the two-hours-onstage set (plus, a twenty minute intermission), with a little piano mixed in between. His everpresent interwoven story-telling made the night extra special for me, particularly the stories about his father, and the retinue of friends that Woody gained over the years of writing, performing, and just generally being concerned for the rights of humankind. Arlo was in the midst of greatness from early on, and his mastery of his craft has been a lifelong mission that appears to have turned out well (his guitar and piano-playing were excellent throughout the evening).

In terms of the set list, Arlo played songs from his father that, for various reasons, meant a lot to either the son or, really, the nation. We've all heard "This Land is Your Land", but not many know the story behind it, and no one alive knows the story better than Arlo. And again, he's the consummate story-teller (think Alice's Restaurant, which, by the way, was not played - I think Arlo wanted to hold the show to a manageable timeframe, esp. on a week night). Arlo also played the Motorcycle Song, Coming into Los Angeles, and City of New Orleans (with a nice Steve Goodman story).

All in all, an excellent show from a wonderful, unpretentious, genetically-predisposed fellow human (and an artist concerned of his craft)!

He must have told these stories so many times, but he makes them sound fresh. The songs of course were great, and I didn't realize how well he plays the piano.

Arlo Guthrie 'Here Comes The Kid' was a fantastic musical tribute to Woodie Guthrie (his father), all the musicians that his father knew, and how Arlo came to know these people and pay tribute to their music (and his own music). And it was all Arlo on stage. Can't wait untill he comes back!!!
