Arlo Guthrie - Coming Into Los Angeles (Live at Woodstock ‘69)

Given all this talk about Woodstock’s 40th Anniversary, I figured I’d rediscover some of the tunes behind it. Guthrie is better known for Alice’s Restaurant, an eighteen minute long track that tells the story about how Guthrie wasn’t conscripted to Vietnam due to an arrest for littering. This track reminds me of how much I love folk music - simple story telling with an awesome sound. Following the track is a few remarks from Guthrie about what a crazy event Woodstock is.
