Product Description NATIONAL RELEASE: August 9, 2005 A new LIVE IN CONCERT double CD from ARLO!! Live in Sydney captures Arlo at his very best. Recorded in Sydney, Australia, June 2004 at The Seymour Center, Arlo is joined by son, Abe, on keyboard and multi-instrumentalist, Gordon Titcomb. This double CD intertwines the music and stories that have endeared Arlo to his audiences for more than 40 years. New originals are the crowd pleasing, heart touching song, ?My Old Friend? and the haunting, melodic tribute to Hawaii, ?Haleiwa Farewell (Haleiwa Blues)?. ?Some people think a folksinger is someone who just sings their own songs. That's a shame. It's like being of the tradition, rather than in it. I've taught myself to make any song I like, my own." - Arlo Guthrie Arlo?s versions of his long-time favorites, ?St. James Infirmary,? ?Me and Bobby McGee,? and ?Green Green Rocky Road? will stick in your head long after the music has stopped. Stories include old favorites and new ones too. This is Arlo's first solo release in almost 10 years. Well worth the wait!!! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsIf you haven't seen him live ... W. Revill | USA | 01/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "... (and even if you have) get this collection. Arlo is just great live, both musically and in between songs and this Australian recording keeps all the between song patter in there. That's a good thing because it gives a sense of what a real Arlo show is with his rambling and funny and insightful observations. It is like listening to an old friend. Not that the between song commentary dominates the album, because the music really does. Abe Guthrie & Gordon Ticomb do a admirable job backing him up, but listen closely for Arlo on guitar and piano. He really is a very fine instrumentalist, something that not everyone may have noticed over the years. Great covers of some of his older songs as well as some of the old standards of the folk scare. This is a very enjoyable collection and is one of my favorite live recordings of anyone. It would be nice, though, if he'd follow this up with an album of new material to mine. We can always use more Arlo. " Live is always great. James L. Hentges | Columbia, MO USA | 01/12/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Arlo is at his best in the double disk CD. There is a good mix his father's songs, his own songs and classics. He has a couple of his kids playing with him and there is joy, almost a celebration in the performances. If you like Arlo, you will like, even love this CD" I was there Joseph Rao | Sydney, Australia | 06/13/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was there on this wonderful evening and I am off to see Arlo again tomorrow night at the same venue (the Seymour Centre) with the same support act (Jodi Martin who is fabulous). I have seen Arlo on each of the four occasions (including tomorrow night) that he has performed in Sydney and each concert was as magical as this one. I was thrilled that he chose to record the evening in 2004 for release. As you will hear, it was a special night. Arlo's concerts are always fresh and fun and like kicking back at home with old friends. The entire album is brilliant but the track "Remembering Alice" is a clever, witty and warm monologue on why he isn't going to perform Alice's Restaurant. He really seems to like Australia and that suits us just fine. Whether you love Arlo Guthrie or just love folk music in general, your collection will not be complete until you grab a copy of this. Just brilliant !!!!"
