This Land Is Your Land

My fellow Americans: No matter your political inclination, this will, I hope, make you feel fantastic.

When I grow up, I wanna be Peter Seeger.

ETA: This thread at dKos has videos of a lot more of the afternoon concert, as well as Obama's speech. There's also the text of the prayer delivered by The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire, which HBO apparently didn't deign to broadcast, which is a damn shame.

ETA2: YouTube has taken down all the video they can find of this, because HBO is claiming copyright violation. Of the inaugural concert? I suspect there will be a little noise on this.

ETA3: Can't stop the signal.

ETA4: A new embed, above. Thanks to braider.

Thank you for posting this; I missed the concert today.

And... was that George Lucas that they panned on about halfway through? Out in the audience, singing with a rather attractive woman? It looked an awful lot like him.

I do believe it was. :)

It absolutely was. And the attractive woman next to his was Mellody Hobson. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellody_Hobson). I expect to see a video of them singing "It's a Small World" next... I went to high school with Mellody.
