Recording information: Sanders Theatre Cambridge, MA (1980).
Cambridge, Massachusetts, was along with Greenwich Village one of the birthplaces of the late-'50s/early-'60s folk revival. The historic Sanders Theatre, near Harvard in downtown Cambridge, is one of the most popular folk venues in the world, and this excellent double-disc recording of a raucous 1980 show by Pete Seeger shows why Cambridge audiences are so renowned in folk circles. Though the Sanders is a large venue, and judging by the crowd sound, it was packed this night, every single person in this audience seems to know these songs by heart. As the album title suggests, this is not the usual live record, but a good old-fashioned hootenanny, with the audience joining in on the choruses of Seeger's traditional folk songs. The excitement and fun are infectious, but those expecting a more subdued concert should look elsewhere.
