"Unique" and "genius" are a much misused epithets, but i believe Arlo deserves both.

I remember him playing in our Golden Bear in Huntington Beach.

[@gwynenglishnielsen8596]

Wow! Look how young he looks in this picture. Guess we have all changed a lot since then.

[@traviswall1982]

For whatever reason, I figured he would play "The Garden Song" for the farming song before he played "Old McDonald had a Farm".

Suppy true twilight zone be with us lol

[@TomTschritter]

We need more socially conscious music and musicians, all to often musicians become financially successful and then just sell out to Big Media. :(

But what album is this from? I'd really like to know. Is it bootleg? I'm trying to find out. Seems to be a mystery
