I had finished my junior year in high school and was on a 3 week exchange program with some US and UK kids.....they came to the States during our spring break then we went over there in the summer. Big finish to our time was going to this concert. My primary memory was this group we hadn't heard of-Loggins & Messina - and their incredible energy on the stage....wow! Secondary memory was a bunch of British kids rolling around on top of each other....not sure exactly what they were doing but it looked like fun...I was a late bloomer.
I loved the show and enjoyed the stories as.much as the songs. His daughter was great also. A wonderful evening.

Arlo Guthrie fan review
This concert should be mandatory listening. He accentuates all the positives about folk music - fun, dialog, fact o life, silliness - but skips the boring depressing parts. His storytelling is "just enough" to be educational without sounding like a boring old hippy. Great highlights, no lowlights. His daughter opening up was a good choice too.
Loved it! But - given the age of the audience (myself included) - you could have scheduled it at 6 (Early Bird Special at 5, concert at 6). Kidding.

Arlo Guthrie fan review
I love Arlo and have attended previous concerts including at the State. The first half was frustrating. It was way too loud and too glitzy. The back up singers/musicians overpowered Arlo and people came to hear him. I was in the balcony and the woman behind me said she had a headache. Others talked about how different it was from previous appearances and it wasn't the Arlo that they expected. The second half was fabulous. Also loved his daughter Sarah Lee.
Great show except for the loud, obnoxious drunk couple in the back corner who would't shut up and who insisted on whistling (out of tune) the whole night. Arlo was fabulous and in perfect character spinning yarns between songs. Showing his age but definitely still has it!

I took my 2 daughters and 2 Grand Daughters. Arlo made us laugh and cry. His gift is in connecting with all ages. Wonderful show!

It was great music. I've been going to Arlo's concerts for 25 years. The only thing missing was Pete Seeger.
