videos from Pete Seeger's 90th birthday bash . . .
at Madison Square Garden on May 3 . . . PBS in New York has been running a 2-1/2 hour special of the concert this week . . . as far as I know, they're the only PBS station to have it thusfar, although I'm sure others will eventually . . .

anyhow, on the Great Performances website you can view several of the performances including Joan Baez singing Where Have All The Flowers Gone and leading the ensemble in Happy Birthday; Dave Matthews doing a neat take on Rye Whiskey; Toshi and Bernice Reagan leading a sing-along of We Shall Overcome; and Pete and the whole gang doing This Land, including the verses usually left out . . . go here for the links . . .

although the PBS show included only about half of the entire concert, it was a great, great show with some stunning performances . . . you can check out the DVD (which will likely be available online soon) here:
