For the Yankees dropping by to visit (literally no-one there! ED) I finally understood Thanksgiving by watching a favourite film, Alice's Restaurant, and we saw it in the cinema and bought the soundtrack and loved Arlo (still do!) but this is a celebration setlist bar none! Without equal can you imagine a band turning up today with this kind of song setlist? No, thought not!
this from the ubiquitous and brilliant Aquarium Drunkard of course who else!
