I always think it brave that anyone takes on Who Knows Where The Time Goes after Sandy’s peerless version . . . but this is NINA and frankly the women could sing the telephone directory and make it her own (ask your grandparents!?)

Doc Watson poses backstage at the legendary McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, California, in 1986.
Doc was a legendary performer who blended his traditional Appalachian musical roots with bluegrass, country, gospel and blues to create a unique style and an expansive repertoire.
Watson, who was blinded before his first birthday, won seven Grammy Awards, in addition to the Grammy for lifetime achievement he received in 2004. In 2006 he won in the category of best country instrumental performance for his playing on "Whiskey Before Breakfast."
The more than 50 albums to Watson's name testify to the extraordinary breadth of his musical interests and skills. He made several recordings of backwoods old-time music with members of his family, including his wife, Rosa Lee, and her father, the fiddler Gaither Carlton, yet he could cross from that rugged milieu to a Nashville studio and work easily with country music's leading session musicians on albums such as Good Deal (1968), while on the 1995 album Docabilly he recalled his rockabilly days, 40 years on.
He also revealed on many occasions a deep knowledge and understanding of the blues, drawn from black musicians such as Mississippi John Hurt and white predecessors such as Jimmie Rodgers and the obscure Frank Hutchison, whose mesmerising Worried Blues and Train That Carried My Girl From Town Watson reinstated into the folk canon. His musical memory was remarkable, his repertoire packed with songs from old 78rpm recordings – some remembered from his youth, some supplied on tapes from record-collector friends – by artists such as Rodgers, the Carter Family (whose When the Roses Bloom in Dixieland was the first song he had learned to play) and another blind guitarist, Riley Puckett. Given those resources, he hardly needed to write material of his own, and he seldom did, but with Rosa Lee he composed the poignant threnody Your Long Journey, heard by a fresh audience on Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's 2007 album, Raising Sand.

Arlo Guthrie - Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL, 11-11-1971
Paul says: Arlo Guthrie was a prominent folk singer in the early 1970s, yet there are very few live recordings from that time with worthy sound quality. I've posted live recordings from him from 1969 and 1974, but there's basically nothing in between. So I decided to try to make something worthy. I found the best sounding audience bootleg from that era and used audio editing to bring it up close to soundboard-level sound quality.I checked out a handful of audience boots from the era, and this one easily had the best sound quality. I wouldn't have given this a try if I didn't find this one with potential. The biggest problem was a lot of echo on the vocals. So I used the MVSEP program to split the vocals from the instruments. While I was at it, I boosted the vocals to a good level in the mix. Then I took the vocals track and ran it through the Reverb Removal option in MVSEP. But even that wasn't enough. I further ran those results through Adobe's vocal enhancer. I also ran all the banter between songs through that.
Between all these things, the very echo-y vocals sound almost normal now. Not quite, but close. So, while the sound quality still isn't ideal, I'm confident this is very listenable, and the best sounding live recording of him between 1969 and 1974.
In 1972, Guthrie would have the biggest hit of his career, with "City of New Orleans." But this is some months away from that, so that song wasn't performed here. According to the original notes I found, there was at least one more song played at the end of the concert, "Hobo's Lullaby." It's quite possible there were other missing songs, since this is relatively short compared to most concerts from that time period. Also, it seems the beginning of the first song, "Anytime," is cut off. So there could have been one or more missing songs there too. The way "Anytime" started sounded okay to me, even with the cut off, so I left it that way. Plus, I didn't have any other good live recordings of that song from that time period to use to fix it.
By the way, I find it interesting that although this concert is only two years after the 1969 concert I posted by him, only two songs are the same between those concerts: "Coming into Los Angeles" (his other hit) and "Stealin'."
This album is an hour and two minutes long.
