Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Bound for Glory (Live at the Phil Ochs Memorial Concert, 1976)
This is the audio of Ramblin' Jack Elliott singing "Bound for Glory" at the Phil Ochs Memorial Concert at Felt Forum in NYC in 1976, a month after Phil's death. He was accompanied here by Monte Dunn on the guitar and David Mansfield on the fiddle. The song was Phil's own tribute to the great Woody Guthrie, godfather of all folk singer-songwriters. It is one of the many songs that were omitted in the TV broadcast from WHYY, so I only have the audio for it. I don't know if the video footage of this song exists somewhere. YouTube wouldn't allow me to upload very long videos, so I've uploaded the full show to another video website, Bilibili. You can watch it here: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av30803183
