Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie
icwis
I have a copy of Pete and Arlo in concert (a 2 record set) back in 1975. I
don't believe it has been released on CD. If it has, I have not been able
to find it.
Anyway, if any of you folk fans would like, I could copy it one track at a
time to my hard drive and encode it to mp3 and post it for download. Due to
time constraints, I would only be able to post a track or two at a time, and
it may take a couple of weeks to get the whole thing posted.
The tracks are:
Way Out There
Yodeling
Roving Gambler
Don't Think Twice, Its All Right
Declaration of Independence
Get Up and Go
City of New Orleans
Estadio chile
Guantanamera
On A Monday
Presidential Rag
Walkin Down The Line
Well May The World Go
Henry My Son
Mother, The Queen of My Heart
Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)
Joe Hill
May There Always be Sunshine
Three Rules of discipline and Eight Rules of Attention
Stealin'
Golden Vanity
Lonesome Valley
Quite Early Morning
Sweet Rosyanne
Any interest?

Thanks for the input. I have been on the net\web for a few years now, but
am relatively new to news groups. Thanks for the guidance as to not
offending anybody with large posts. It did seem like a good idea at the
time.
But since you have the album as well, you can understand my excitement in
wanting to share it. If you are a fan of Arlo or Pete, or both...or just a
fan of the era, you realize that this is a true classic. It is a shame that
it isn't available anymore. It would seem to me that if you can still buy
Slim Whitman recordings you should be able to buy this concert.
Go figure.

Something you may want to consider is making real media clips of the songs and
putting them out on a web page. Clips only should not be a problem to any artist
or record company. It would give other interested people the opportunity to
listen to a bit of the songs, and then perhaps join in a campaign to get the
album released on CD. We are using that approach (no luck, so far) for four
Gordon Lightfoot albums that have never been released on CD. You can hear the
clips from three of the albums by going to the following URL and looking under
the "Other Four":

The encoder and player for real media are both free from RealNetworks at:
Real media files are much smaller than mp3, and if you encode at 32kbps, stereo,
they sound just about as good to most people (don't judge by the bad real audio
files on some of the music servers). Just a thought ... If you do this, just
post the info and web page URL here. I'd sure go there and listen!

The original recording was just a little too long to fit of a CD. Warner
Brothers offered to put it out in that format with some of the songs cut out -
They wouldn't make a 2 CD version just for another 5 or 6 minutes (kind of
understandable) and I wouldn't let them put it out with some of the songs
missing. It was available in cassette format for awhile. Happily, as of a few
months ago, arrangements were made for Rising Son Records to re-release the
original record on CD. We're working on it folks! Stay tuned
(www.risingson.com) and we'll keep you up on the details. Thanks for the
interest...

But their quality depends an awful lot on the quality of your connection
and for overseas people that's usually the speed of the transatlantic
link, regardless of whether you have a T3 or a dial-up connection
yourself. The fancier Realaudio files are fine if you don't mind that
nobody outside continental North America will be able to listen to
them. With MP3 or straight .WAV / .AU, you can download in your
own time and play from the hard disk, while .RAM only allows that if you
shell out for the commercial version of their player (and as it's a
proprietory format, nobody else can develop their own offline player
instead).

PS: Thanks, Arlo, for your update on the state of that album -- that
should put paid on the original poster's plans, then, anyway.
