If for no other reason, this DVD is a MUST for anybody who is even remotely interested in Pete Seeger's live performances. If you have listened to his live records of that period (et Pete Seeger at the Village Gate, Sing Out Hootenanny, We Shall Overcome, etc) you can now finally match images to the sound, as he performs the classical repertoir of the golden years of the folk music boom. To be fair, while Seeger is as good as he ever was, the Australian audience appears to be somewhat wooden, less warm and involved that one would have imagined (or seen in his later live performances in the US). Although Seeger had a large following in Australia at the time, it is possible that the songs were not as familiar to the audience as they were in the States (it is amusing to notice the absolute lack of reaction to Seeger's mention of a "young songwriter called Bob Dylan", who had just released "Blowing in the Wind" and "Hard Rain"). Certainly, when Pete sings songs that were also commercial hits (the Hammer Song, Michael Row the Boat Ashore) people in the audience sing, bob their heads, clap the rhythm just as we are used to seeing during Seeger's live performances.The bonus material alone is worth the price of the DVD: several Australian TV news interviews, each with one or two songs, a long excerpt from a live performance at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and a half-hour live performance themed on Leadbelly. A short documentary on an Australian traditional folk singer, produced by Pete and Toshi Seeger is also included.Altogether, with almost three hours of music, this DVD is certainly excellent value for the money! Get it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1963, Pete, pimples and Melbourne Town hall *by F***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2009* Watching this DVD, including all the beaut extras, brought a magic period back to life. My mate and I, both Year 11 students, were at this show and I was almost apoplectic with delight at so many of the songs and scenes. This is a great buy for the nostalgia alone but much more in terms of the history of folk music at a crucial period, before it discovered commercialism through the likes of The Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary and so on. The extras, including interviews, a very warm introduction to his Bandstand gig by Brian Henderson and a wonderfully informal studio gig are better quality than the concert but this is to be expected. Given the network bans and the political controversy still surrounding Pete Seeger at this time, just to attend was making a statement and his repertoire would have been considered quite edgy, and in some respects still is. The ABC concert video taping, while an inspired initiative, has a number of technical and aesthetic shortcomings (it was 47 years ago and Australian TV was just 6 years old) but it captured so much of the night and the time. The songs include the familiar, the unknown and some that were only emerging. To be honest some bits dragged a little, but I remember, as a teenager, thinking the same on the night, so it's an honest rendition. It's frustrating that the ABC cameras were so limited in their shots and we see the same audience groupings over and over again (Did we really have no sense of fashion at all in 1962?) On the other hand, Pete is wonderfully spontaneous but still utterly professional throughout a very long totally one-man show, with no props. Ignore the grainy B&W, the uneven program and those awful clothes - this is a gem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love folk songs, you'll love this *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2013* I first gained an interest in Pete Seeger when I found him on YouTube, singing "Away Out There," but then You Tube deleted it from their files, so I had to buy this DVD to hear it. This DVD has the best version of this song that I have ever heard rendered. When I was growing up, I would often have to buy an entire album just to get one song that I liked, because back in the days of vinyl records, that was often times the only way you own the songs you liked. This DVD album has lots of other good songs besides "Away Out There," but it's still my favorite. If you like this, you should go to YouTube and listen to Arlo Guthrie sing "The Garden Song." It's the black and white version shown a TV special and he's trying to get the audience to sing. He tells the story of how he got stopped coming back from Canada. It's funny and touching at the same time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11296883-pete-seeger-live-in-australia-1963](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11296883-pete-seeger-live-in-australia-1963) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
