Did musician Arlo Guthrie ever see his Father, Woody Guthrie perform in concert?
Concert Review: Arlo Guthrie Kingston Ontario May 11th/06 It seemed only fitting that last night’s concert by Arlo Guthrie in Kingston Ontario was held in a church. Aside from the fact that the current tour is a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the writing of the song “Alice’s Restaurant” which features a church in a significant supporting role, (“Alice didn’t live in the restaurant, she lives in the church near by”) was the feeling of unity of purpose amongst the audience that one would normally associate with a congregation. We had all come to see a man perform who has for the past forty plus years quietly sung songs that have expressed the concerns of socially conscious people for nearly the past hundred years. It’s not just Arlo Guthrie’s music that one hears during his concerts; one also hears the songs of the generations that preceded him that he learned at the knee of his father Woody and his contemporaries. Attending an Arlo Guthrie concert is about more than listening to
