Pete Seeger, 1919 – 2014

Tuesday, January 28, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

We lost a legend yesterday, a man who changed the world with both his spirit and his song.

Here are two videos to celebrate Pete Seeger’s legacy. First, Seeger leads Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson and the entire audience in a version of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” at the 2013 Farm Aid concert.

Second is a vintage Seeger performance from a late 1960’s appearance on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.”

We’re gonna miss you, Pete.
