"Woody Guthrie died in late 1967. Soon after, two tribute concerts were planned: one in 1968 in New York, and one in 1970 in Los Angeles. Bear Family, who has always done excellent archival work, has released those two albums in a handsome boxed set ... Overall, Guthrie's legacy makes this set a vital one. Here's hoping similar sets, for artists like Odetta, see release too".

"It is an impressive artifact, but most of all, it is a testament to Guthrie's enduring legacy. Here is a set that makes you want to listen to Woody Guthrie all over again, and perhaps pick up a guitar and sing new songs of protest".

"Today with all the documentaries, tribute albums and biographies, it is hard to remember a time when Woody's shadow didn't loom large. Still, if he was remembered at all upon his death in 1967, it was as an early influence on the young Bob Dylan. These tribute concerts were intended to remind the Woodstock generation of Woody's influence ... What strikes you as the cast of thousands run through the Guthrie repertoire on these three discs is just how singable they were - Woody played fast and loose with his melodies, but his words still score and sear".

"In the aftermath [of Woody Guthrie's death], a fund-raising gala was organised, held at Carnegie Hall on 20 January 1968. A second took place on 12 September 1970 at the Hollywood Bowl. They were star-spangled affairs. Listening to the Carnegie Hall performance is to be reminded how, variously, scripted, polished and seat-of-the-pants the whole affair was. Both galas combined linking narratives and songs, most of the latter Guthrie's own. In what's come down as a rare co-operative effort between market rivals, Columbia and Warner Brothers split them into double-LP releases. Columbia released the New York, Warner the Californian material. [This set] gathers both sources with outtakes, project-specific interviews and oral testimony from Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger ... "Woody Guthrie - the tribute concerts" is impeccable, an embellished LP-sized box set created to Bear Family's usual breathtaking standards".
