Saw him on my birthday a few years ago just before he stopped touring. He had been on my bucket list for years since 1969. When he and his family came out and played/sang this, along with the 2000 old grey-haired hippies, it was my absolute best concert experience. Thank you, Arlo, and thank you Woody.

America has such a deep debt owed to Woody and Pete. The time has come for all of us to truly appreciate what Golden gift these two gentlemen have been. Thank you!

This tune definitely brings back elementary school. Classic folk music is an integral part of who we are in this country.

“My job is to show folks there’s a lot of good music in this world, and if used right it may help to save the planet.” - Pete Seeger. RIP Pete, and thank you! May we now all carry it on.....

Linda, while my political tastes are NOT on the same page as most of these HISTORIC folk singers, Mr. Seeger was a GIANT among musical folk singing giants. I also hope that he has found peace. He will forever be remembered with love and respect to his memory.

I don't feel sad for a man who lived 94 years doing what he loved. I only feel sad for all those idealistic young people who never heard Pete's message of how foolish these wars are. They believed the lies and -- if they come back alive -- they are often broken mentally, spiritually, and physically at 20. Now that is sad!

When I was about 13, I snuck out of the the house...on a school night...to go to SUNY Cobleskill NY to see Pete Seeger sing. It was well worth getting in trouble for when I got back home. Rest In Peace Pete.

My all time folk hero... FREEDOM fighters you have lost a GIANT today... farewell good and kindly man ... a great icon not only in music but in life... thank you Pete !

The talent on stage for this song is incredible. Oh to have been in the audience for this 1993 concert! Thanks Pete (rip) thanks Arlo and family!

Good-bye, Pete. Thanks for decades of great music.

What a great rendition of this wonderful song. I was lucky enough to see Arlo and Pete at Wolftrap, circa 1991. It remains one of my most cherished musical memories.

I was at this concert. Memorable. RIP Pete.

Pete was a beacon for us all. This land is your land this land is my land....Let's keep his memory strong!

Thanks to my father I was made aware of Guthrie and Seeger when I was a child growing up in the 60's and early 70's. On longer rides in the car we would sing. Did'nt know the artists by name, was to young. But deep down inside my dad knew we needed to know these songs and artists. Now I own a mini van without a DVD player. My children enjoy singing along to their music or now and again I sneak in stuff like this. They LOVE IT! God Bless Seeger & Guthrie and my Father & Mother

Long live Pete! Long live Arlo! Woody's memory is long-lived!

Another killer song that young folks don't appreciate or care about

two more missing verses: In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people By the relief office I seen my people As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking that freedom highway Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me. I got those lyrics from the children's picture book "This Land is Your Land," (with all the lyrics, illustrated by Kathy Jakobsen. Wonderful book!

God Bless Pete, and he will be with us forever.

Thanks for posting. Pete and Arlo together - Couldn't be better. Became an important part of my soul in my teens. Inspired me to to become a school music teacher. I fondly remember how delightful it was to attend concerts in the DC area. .Kids, parents, and grandparents were always eager join in singing harmonies. I've been teaching their music to kids since the 60's. To this day kids still love learning and singing their wonderful folk songs. They are an American treasure. Jan Lieberman

JUST GIVES ME CHILLS. What a great man. thank you PETE SEEGER.

I just found this on youtube. Thank you so much for posting. As one who thoroughly enjoyed the summer of '69, as well as the years on either side, I don't believe this song or message will ever go out of style. Tx and my respects to all.

Whelp this music has touched another generation way ta go. I love these songs. :)

I saw Arlo & Pete in the 70s at the Civic Opera House in Chicago. One of the best experiences ever. My daughter got to meet Arlo at a Ravinia concert. She helped raise money for HD in the Chicago marathon (my husband had it & now my son has it). He was very friendly & gracious. ❤

Christopher, I sooo agree! I have been teaching folk music to kids and adults for almost 50 years! Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie have been my all time favorites. The hard intervals in the Star Spangle Banner are impossible for most people to sing. Not to mention the violence - The bombs bursting in air! I'm often asked to lead Star Spangle Banner for a group. I usually sing "God Bless America". Simple and easy. All kids are taught "This Land is Your Land in school." Would be a great choice.

now that is a song, thanks Woody.

How about having EVERYONE listen, really listen to this song!

This is the best version of this song EVER!

Listening to this song: that's why I love America.

We all need to remember this, and take care of it. It's all we have....

RIP Pete Seeger.

I saw Pete in concert when I was four. The year was 1969. (It wasn't until 2000 that I discovered the words were "Gulf Stream" and not "Ghost Green" Waters.) I saw Arlo in 1983. How I would love to see them together live!!

RIP Pete and thank you Woody and Arlo.

I had a chance to see Arlo and his group in concert. To say it was fantastic would not do it justice.

From the Great American song book. Life in a simpler time.👍

I remember 1st hearing this in 5th grade, 1971 (jeezus, I'm gettin' old, lol). Our teacher was playing us Woody tunes, Pete, Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, etc. The folk/protest music of the day. It never left me. Thanks Ms. Hogarty!! And thanks for posting this video. God bless Pete.

thank you pete i think we can sing because of you.peace man.

wow..I can't say how this version of this old song that up until this past summer was just a old song to me, but it's so much more then this and it's so wonderful to hear this, you must be one very proud lady Mrs Guthrie!! god bless you all and may woodys song never die.

Arlo's daughters are beautiful!

I played this on my guitar. We all played. This was good music

Just WOW! Other than Woody, NO-ONE has ever done this with more power and emotion than Arlo and Pete! Fantastic video! Thank you!

I remember watching Pete and Arlo on tv in the late seventies. As they ended with this song, I remember my mother commenting "I think Arlo just does this song for Pete. I don't think he likes to do it." Arlo mentioned something about this when he did this song at the Boston Pops: "you wondered if it began to lose it's meaning or something like that." But he sure seems to love doing it here. It's a wonderful thing to make peace with yourself. ...(I'm working on it: inspiration helps :-) )

In the square of the city by the shadow of the steeple by the relief office, I saw my people as they stood there hungry, I stood there whistling This Land was made for you and me. I love the subtle differences.

Thank you very much Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger for this nice version of "This Land is Your Land" !!

Given everything that's been going on in America the past few months in general, and the past two weeks specifically, this is a great song to sing these days.

Finding this has made me really happy, just great.

Most moving version of this song I have heard. Great performance! The Guthrie girls rock!

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Respect and awe.

I remember in one of his shows he said they moved a lot. The schools would have assemblies in the gym and they would say that the son of Woody Guthrie was a student there and sing This Land is Your Land. He said he was the only one who didn't know the verses and he was always sort of embarrassed. He has ALWAYS done the verse about the fence in every single concert I've been to. I don't know why he didn't do it here. That is my favorite verse! Thank you for your video.

from the kerry mountains to the street of FREE DERRY

I was recently in D.C. for the first time in my life this past 4th of July. I saw all the monuments, the Jefferson Memorial, and then the White House. What I saw behind the White House moved me more than anything. The protesters had been moved to the back for the day. I have to tell you that seeing and meeting those protesters gave me total perspective. I recently lost my job. Twenty four years I worked at a factory. I was laid off. We have no insurance. I am angry and scared of the future.

“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow.” ― Woody Guthrie HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
