Arlo Guthrie – New York, NY (xx/xx/66)

Arlo Guthrie
WBAI Radio, New York
1966
FM > Reel > Cassette > CD > Flac

t1 – Alice’s Restaurant 19:01

Original Seeder Notes:
This is from my own collection. I recorded this on a reel deck from the radio one afternoon in 1966 during the WBAI Spring Fundraiser. I’m not sure of the exact date. I have to find my original notes from the
reel, but I’m sure it’s from 1966. It’s obvious that no one had ever heard this before by the reaction from those in the studio at the tiome of the broadcast.

I made the cassette copy some time ago. Some day I’ll re-transfer from the reel. There are a few minor level adjustments at the very beginning of the song.

This copy is considerably cleaner than most I’ve heard from this broadcast.

02. Alice’s Restaurant (“Part 2”)/
03. The Pause Of Mister Claus/
04. Closing Remarks

Original Notes by Hank R. :
This is an amazing early performance sourced from a mono PA recording. Arlo introduces “Alice’s Restaurant” as “Alice… Part 2,” but it’s essentially the version that we’ve all come to know and
love… Essential listening! Approx. 40m. Recommended!
