Description
Episode Description
(This program was originally part of the Sounds of Summer series; it aired as Mississippi River Festival: Joni Mitchell and Arlo Guthrie on August 3, 1969. Only the portion involving Arlo Guthrie was presented on Fanfare.) Arlo Guthrie folksinger, composer and star of the film based on his song Alices Restaurant is seen performing during the 1969 Mississippi River Festival. Accompanying himself on six- or twelve-string guitar and piano, he is heard in a wide selection of songs, many of his own compositions. They include The Motor Cycle Song, Amazing Grace, Wheel of Fortune, Oh Mary Dont You Weep No More, Black Mountain Rag and Coming Into Los Angeles. The program captures the informality of a summer concert, as spectators extend from the amphitheater to the sloping lawn area of the Southern Illinois University campus in Edwardsville, Illinois. Guthrie himself personifies this informal spirit as he performs with his sidemen: John Pilla, guitar; Bob Arkin, bass; and Paul Motiam, drums. Arlos style derives from both modern folk expressions and the tradition of his father, the late Woody Guthrie, a classic figure in American folk music during the 30s and 40s. Today his son Arlo is among the leading and most colorful performers of folk music. Fanfare Arlo Guthrie is a production of NET Division, Educational Broadcasting Corporation.
