I was passing through Eugene Oragon , many years ago. I didn’t have any money on me because Oragon didn’t have any ATM’s yet. So me and my friend stopped by the Salvation Army that serves meals. While waiting outside, we had seen a train pull into town & people had jumped off and came to this place. Before the dinner, everyone sat through a church service. A lot of torn & taddered people all around. When it came time to sing , everyone sang this song, I closed my eyes, it was as good as any church singing could sound across the land, but a place full of Hobo’s! God was there. May I never forget it. Amen. We will see you again Arlo
Every Thanksgiving Arlo & Pete Seeger would do a concert at Carnegie Hall, never missed any concert. I lived 3 houses down from Woody in Coney Island. I worked for the sister of Alice who was a baker for a great Park Slope gourmet store.
Like his father a true leader and story Teller and heroe Someone who can make someone forget the troubles of the day or bring back memories of the past Or make someone dream of things to come.
Love this version. Amazing Grace was written in 1772 and published in 1779 by an Anglican clergyman who had been in the slave trade. He learned his lesson and changed his life. Thus, we have this song. At first it was recited in church and then it was set to music with about twenty different melodies. The version we usually hear today was written in 1835 by William Walker. It is said to be perhaps the most well-known folk song around the world.
This is pure talent. Any one who can talk about a subject different from the song he is playing, and without making mistakes on his beautiful hymn. He is saying some truths
That is the magic that is Arlo. His Daddy's son. He's getting older now. It concerns me to no end who will carry the torch for the future. All the folk artists from the 50's and 60's have either died or aged out of performing. I realize it's a different world now. I just don't want to live in it.
I got to meet Arlo last fall after a concert, he was exactly as I imagined him being such a down to earth person with an authentic liking for everyone that was around. I now have an autographed LP in a frame hanging on my wall which is now my pride and joy...even over the unopened Roy Orbison LP! What a great person and family he has!
Arlo may be th son of one of Americas greatest poets, But Arlo should be recognised for HIS talent. As an Aussie, I think he is up there with some of the greatest. Wonderful story teller. :)
This post should have thousands of likes by now!!! THIS IS SO TRUE!!!! Arlo you are one of a kind!!!! So blessed to have you walk this earth spreading your love and messages of hope and peace everywhere. Thank you!!
Michael Lunburg it is my humble opinion that Arlo is a world treasure. And the moment we make contact with other world he will become an intergalactic treasure.
I can’t help about remember 16 years ago, November, a young boy playing this for me with his harmonica in a dark time in a hospital ICU waiting room as he waited for his grandfather to pass. Amazingly, Arlo spoke in this video what the young boy knew then. In a world so troubled a small smile or hug or a song on a harmonica could make a difference in this world to a troubled person. Amazing Grace.
I said FIFTY people a day Walkin' in, singin' a bar of Amazing Grace,and walkin' out,They may think it's a Movement, ;) Arlo they might indeed .Thank you for the music and the smile .
Hello Andrea Richard, I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
between the story telling and singing of songs that everyone seems to know, there's a light heartedness that makes you love arlo. so glad I found him on TH-cam bc he is special.
After the Columbine shooting, a teen from another local high school was interviewed by a local news person. She said that out of the horror of Columbine we all need to treat our fellow human beings with more humanity. Thankfully, she is absolutely right!
In the midst of the craziness on 2020 I have once again discovered the magnificent Mr Arlo Guthrie. I was a fan after Woodstock so Yes I am watching in 2020 and thoroughly enjoying it and feeling uplifted xxx
Arlo Guthrie has been an inspiration to me for decades. I lived at home and played "Alice's Restaurant" on my record player so much my father knew the words and "sang/spoke" along. Arlo, between you and me, I've loved your music more then anyone else's. I gotta tell you this because I doubt I I will ever have the privilege of seeing you anywhere but on TH-cam. When I don't get life I listen to your music, whether it be Alices's Restaurant Massacre or the Motorcycle song , Garden Song, Amazing Grace, and especially, because the way it was presented, Can't help falling in love with you. I love you so much. You have given me so much joy. Thank you!!!
I met you, Arlo. We sat together with you at a Holiday Inn back in 1980 when you told me that the name of Jesus meant nothing at all when it was compared to what you have believed once about JESUS. Like when you and James Taylor were writing a song together and every time that Name was written "look down on me Jesus help me make a stand" I reminded you, Arlo.. when you told me that you could have just said "Asparagus" and it would have been the same as if you had written JESUS I asked you "What if Asparagus was playing tonight? Not "Arlo" but "Asparagus" who would have shown up ? you agreed back then. Or did you? It took us 4 hours of sorting this all out according to common sense. We did hug each other and agree in the end.. and I guess you may have gotten it? Amazing GRACE? Why would any of us need that?
all that being said.. We love you very much.. For us it's not about religion or politics. It's about TRUTH.. Reality and genuine faith in JESUS.. I think you told us then that is how your wife was holding on while raising so many children without you being present to help her. How you wanted most to be a good husband and father. Like most of us "peasants" right?
This song will always be relevant because it a universal message. Timeless in its message to all that will follow. Take head children and remember the teaching of those who are old and have experienced the world and learned the worlds lessons.
Thank you for your generosity of spirit. It has given me more smiles, laughs, tears for one reason or another, and the best damn feelings a human can experience.
I love this song and the story you tell, Mr. Guthrie. It reminds me when I went to church, as a kid 14 or 15, on our holler. There was this old guy that would be there and I would always go early to talk with him, before church started. He always had old wore out clothes on and most times smelled like he hadn't taken a bath in a few days. He had his old beat up guitar and he would always play me "Wildwood Flower". He could play that as good as any musician I ever heard. Whenever church would get ready to start I would try to get him to go inside, with me, and listen to the Preachers and singers. But, he never would. I guess he thought they didn't want him in there cause he had worn out clothes and didn't smell very good. I went inside sat down and started listening to them. But, I couldn't shake the feeling that the church was some how less than full. So, I went back outside and sat with him on the porch and we listened to them from there. I would usually go on Saturday nights and he was usually there. I would always talk with him and listen to the preaching and singing with him to. This has been on my mind, lately, and I'm gonna write a song about it. Cause there's nothing else I can do. I believe he's in Heaven now and not having to deal with all his pain. Once again, thanks for singing this song and telling that story, Mr. Guthrie. Every time I listen to it I end up crying. May God bless you and your family. Gene Bellamy
Hello gene Bellamy, I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music even from so far away. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
Woody and I are in the same generation. Your dad and you Arlo have a lot in common and how wonderful for us! Thank you for your pearls of wisdom, for your little snippets of life and reminders that we are on a journey, sharing with one another, just working our way home. May we all find solace, especially now, in remembering our shared journeys and the importance of the human spirit. Your dad no doubt is looking down, seeing us scrambling to keep our democracy and eradicate fascism.
We saw Arlo Guthrie in Pampa Tx, on the anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, 100 years before. He sang Woody's songs. So many songs. We had a wonderful night. Thanks
I had the pleasure of seeing him in a little club called Bogarts in Cincinnati (a few hundred people at the time and 2 bars) in 1978. He closed the show with this, and everyone in the place was on their feet singing along. The show also included a full length rendition of Alice's Restaurant, which he didn't do very often back then. An awesome time was had by all there. As others have said, a national treasure that everyone should see.
You continue to get better with age; like a fine wine❣️Thank you for all the joy you've brought to us over the years❤️🤍✌🏿✌🏻🥳🥁😍🚁😘👨🏾⚖️🧝♀️🇺🇸😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️💃

I wished I could have been there w/u
That is a beautiful story. 😊
Thank you that sounds amazing😎
Arlo does sing the best version of this song that I ever did hear.
He's our national treasure
This man has been this man his whole life. Amazing grace. Arlo is one of the ups in the world. God bless him
„Bring Your Own God Church“ cracked me up - and also made me shed a tear of love and respect for the simple goodness in this man, Arlo Guthrie… ❤
Honoured to be named after this wonderful man. Mum and dad were big fans, as am I.
Every Thanksgiving Arlo & Pete Seeger would do a concert at Carnegie Hall, never missed any concert. I lived 3 houses down from Woody in Coney Island. I worked for the sister of Alice who was a baker for a great Park Slope gourmet store.
Was way too young
You must have some amazing memories
Like his father a true leader and story Teller and heroe
Someone who can make someone forget the troubles of the day or bring back memories of the past
Or make someone dream of things to come.
Woody Guthrie was a National Icon. And Arlo carries on where his dad left off. 💙💙💙💙

Thank you for the history behind the song!
The movie about this slavery trader turned anti- slavery person is very moving! Thank God people can see the light and change!
The tune was known to captured Africans, uttered below decks in their hour of desperation.
Thank you for the information .🤗🙏
Thanks for the history of this song
I love this version
They played this song at my Dad's funeral and they will play it at mine. Why? Because it means something. A great deal.
❤ my favorite hymn. Thanks Arlo
never weary of this dude. He's funny, careful, and generous with his talent and himself. I love this guy.
This is pure talent. Any one who can talk about a subject different from the song he is playing, and without making mistakes on his beautiful hymn. He is saying some truths

Agreed with much
All grand.
"It's a bring your own God church." One of my favorite lines ever.
I'm so glad I found this!
Arlo Guthrie is a great storyteller!🤗❤🙏
I come here to chill. He has that effect...
I got to meet Arlo last fall after a concert, he was exactly as I imagined him being such a down to earth person with an authentic liking for everyone that was around. I now have an autographed LP in a frame hanging on my wall which is now my pride and joy...even over the unopened Roy Orbison LP!
What a great person and family he has!
This is what the real people are truly About.Its all about the Spirit of Sharing
ones Good Gift past down through Music.
Thanks Arlo !&Peace
Lucky you! 🙂
Same here... I met Arlo at Berlin, when I visited my friend Billy Bragg. This was a very special moment for me.
O my life that harmonica had me full!
he's a class act, right down to his shoes.
Arlo has no idea how he has changed the world. Í would have died one night until Arlo made me laugh. And that kept me alive
You said it.
Arlo may be th son of one of Americas greatest poets, But Arlo should be recognised for HIS talent. As an Aussie, I think he is up there with some of the greatest. Wonderful story teller. :)

So was his dad.!
Yes and he should have got the medal of freedom
@@sharonpaulson4067 : Sharon, you and I seem to think alike on this issue. I was not surprised to see your response.
LetArtsLive Yes. ! Instead it was thrown away on an evil divisive snake. We love you and your message Arlo
Just what I needed to see and hear during this COVID-19 period of isolation. Arlo can make you feel better just listening to his story telling.
He is definitely a one of
a kind storyteller! 🙂
I heard this version years ago and immediately said to my relatives, this is the version I want at my funeral!!
I defied isolation. I had no problems. Arlo does inspire.
Bless your heart Arlo, thank you so much for All your stories and all your songs; you are just an American legend 👏
I can’t help about remember 16 years ago, November, a young boy playing this for me with his harmonica in a dark time in a hospital ICU waiting room as he waited for his grandfather to pass.

I have loved his music almost forever. Ever since I was a kid. No one holds a candle to Arlo. I love this!
I wish Arlo would come out of retirement. We need his vibe now more than ever.
I said FIFTY people a day Walkin' in, singin' a bar of Amazing Grace,and walkin' out,They may think it's a Movement, ;) Arlo they might indeed .Thank you for the music and the smile .

I love watching these videos. They bring me joy. And hope. Thank you Arlo!
His amazing grace is needed more than ever. Thank you Guthrie's for keeping us tuned up.

Amazing Grace how SWEET the Sound. Jesus is Lord and God.
I never get tired of this song, sang the way Arlo does it...been a fan since 1968❣️✌️
He is over the top wonderful.
Been lovin Arlo and family 40 yrs! No one sings Amazing Grace like him!!🌹
This one brings tears to my eyes, even with the humor! Thanks Arlo!
This song will always be relevant because it a universal message. Timeless in its message to all
that will follow. Take head children and remember the teaching of those who are old and have experienced the world and learned the worlds lessons.
Poignant song. This history of this song is worth searching out.
Love the storytelling during the song, especially about how everyone around the world being one big family... that's the way it should be ‼️
“Bring Your Own God” Church. I love this.
Julie Thompson - yes indeed the perfect answer from the calm wise man.
Arlo always told a wonderful story, both in his music and in his songs
Thank you for your generosity of spirit. It has given me more smiles, laughs, tears for one reason or another, and the best damn feelings a human can experience.
How much Arlo's music is needed in these trying and tragic times. God Bless Arlo and his family.
At more Arlo Guthrie
We want more so Guthrie
Amen! Thank you!
Before my husband passed he wanted this played at his celebration 🎉 of life !!!! ...
I loved this song long before it became everybody's favorite. I still love it.
There are no coincidences, God bless y'all from Indiana USA
Arlo, you are the best storyteller in the history of the world! I love you...
Absolutely beautiful, I play blues harmonica and know how difficult this is to play slow, well done Arlo!!!!!!!😎👍🎶🎶🎵🎶
