 (3 Customer Reviews)
Capturing a complete mid-'60s solo concert at New York's Carnegie Hall on two hour-long discs, Pete Seeger's WE SHALL OVERCOME is a glorious-sounding document of the folksinger/musicologist/social activist at the peak of his powers. Opening with a fleet-fingered banjo medley and ending more than two hours later with a stirring version of his classic "Guantanamera," Seeger touches on every aspect of his music, from protest songs to blues to traditional ballads to leftist anthems. The entire concert is remarkable, but a particular highlight comes in the middle of the first disc, when Seeger covers two songs by Bob Dylan, the apocalyptic "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" and the anti-boxing tirade "Who Killed Davey Moore?," a gesture of solidarity from one generation of folkies to another. The remastered sound is pristine and the set includes new liner notes.
Recorded at Carengie Hall on June 8, 1963, this recording is one of Pete Seeger's most famous concerts. It contains the entire concert, about twice as much music as the LP. We Shall Overcome - Complete Carnegie Hall Music Pete Seeger We Shall Overcome - Complete Carnegie Hall Songs We Shall Overcome - Complete Carnegie Hall Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  History Revisited
When this recording was first released it contained 13 tracks, of a memorable and totally sincere performance by this great troubador.
Imagine my delight, many years later to have this crystal clear, re-mastered concert, in its entirity - all 26 tracks are included.
I grew up with this music, first hearing it at age 13 in New Zealand.
I am now 56 and the return of this wonderful concert in its entirity is a fabulous gift.
I recommend this CD to any fan of Pete Seeger, or to any person whom cares about the history of American Civil Rights.
It is a gem.
Regards

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Pete Seeger at his inspirational best
This was a superb live album even in its 1963 guise as a single LP. The two-CD version captures the entire June 8 concert in Carnegie Hall, making it a priceless musical, political and historical document of the civil rights era. Unfortunately, the brainwave that brought this about didn't last very long, because many of Seeger's Columbia LPs remain unissued on CD.

Davy Crockett mania swept the nation in 1955, sparked by Walt Disney's trio of television movies starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen. It was a pop culture phenomenon and merchandising explosion the likes of which had never been seen before; in monetary terms, it reportedly outstripped the Star Wars craze. The sudden salability of a historical character in the public domain was a bonanza for toy, apparel, and novelty manufacturers, and it wasn't long before an incredible number of products bore Crockett's name and image. The television series' theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," which functioned as a narrative device to tie together scenes in the show, became a hot commodity, too -- Bill Hayes, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Mac Wiseman, and the Norman Luboff Choir all hit the charts with their interpretations. Parker and Ebsen did a little bit of singing in the series, and Columbia Records awarded them a contract to record a number of tie-in records in 1955, including Parker's own Top Five rendition of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" ...
