On May 3, 2009, folk music legend Pete Seeger celebrated his 90th
birthday with an unforgettable night of music at New York’s Madison Square
Garden in support of an environmental group that he founded more than 40 years
earlier. In 1969 he created Clearwater, to preserve and protect the Hudson
River. The Clearwater Concert featured an all-star roster of musicians
performing classic Pete Seeger songs, iconic civil rights anthems and some of
their own Seeger inspired originals. With over 18,000 in attendance the sold out
arena, filled with amazing music and Pete’s generous spirit, had the sense of an
intimate gathering of old friends.
