I was lucky enough to see Pete play a high school auditorium in Rockland, Maine when he was in his 80's. There wasn't much of his voice left, but there didn't need to be; the audience did most of the singing.
My favorite of that slice of music is Odetta who I got to chauffeur around Tuscaloosa when she played a little art festival late in her life. Nice but very reserved talking to a 30something who was an infant at the peak of her career. We have the stool she sat on as she played. Her contract specified a height and I drove all over town the day before trying to find one. I missed by an inch but close enough!
Arlo & Pete’s “Precious Friend” album is still in heavy rotation at casa de dlf.

I saw Arlo once but never Pete.

Odetta, damn. What a voice! That's royalty.
