WOOT!

I can't believe it. I bought the DVD and emailed these guys YESTERDAY to suggest they post a couple of these vids, and they did!

Wooooooooooooooooooo!

/Sorry, I am a big Dave fan, and these are the ONLY vids of him I know of now on the intertubes

I saw Dave Van Ronk in Santa Cruz back in the early eighties. National treasure.

zorgon: I saw Dave Van Ronk in Santa Cruz back in the early eighties. National treasure.

Yah, I saw him at The Turning Point in Piermont, NY sometime in the '90's. Man what a sweet guy he was on stage. Good sense of humor.

He was wearing an old Dutch-captains hat and singing in that gravel-in-a-barrel voice he had. Being near NJ, he was 'convinced' to do The Garden State Stomp after a little coaxing.

What an icon. He knew, played with and mentored so many people.

gruff, but lovable.
Saw him in the early 70s.
Audience members were yelling for "Cocaine" between tunes.
Dave snarls; "I'll get to it."
shut em right up
also did One Meatball that night.
