Place des ...Am I misinterpreting that? Arlo played<br />Place des Arts in December of 1985 (unless<br />it was a year later), with Pete Seeger. I'm<br />assuming Sam Gesser was responsible.<br /><br />I've seen him all three times he's come to <br />Montreal since the seventies, and oddly, the<br />show at the Concordia Concert Hall was the one<br />where we saw the most of him. I seem to recall<br />Abe was part of the backup band, but Arlo<br />wasn't sharing the stage.<br /><br />When he was here in October of 2009, he<br />was a few years older than Pete Seeger when<br /> I saw the latter for the first time, in 1978.<br />Pete seemed "old" at that time, Arlo doesn't,<br />but then he's only 12 years older than I<br />am. Watching Arlo and his children and <br />grandchildren in 2009, he seemed content to be<br />the elder of the family, sit back and let the<br />younger ones have a chance. I also realized<br />he had something Woody never had, a chance to<br />see the kids grow up.<br /><br /> MichaelMichael Blacknoreply@blogger.com
