The part of 60s music that wasn't Laurel Canyon

Greenwich Village: Music that Defined A Generation [1h32m] is a 2012 documentary that looks at the part of the 60s folk and subsequent rock revolution that wasn't based in California. Guthrie, Seeger, Dylan, Baez.. and that's just the beginning. A really great look at a fascinating era of music that shaped what we all listen to now.

I haven't watched the Laurel Canyon doc yet but this is going to be a great two-fer with it. Thanks!

Not available for me here in NZ either, but not tagged as "region blocked", just "not available".

Was hoping to look for images of my in-laws who were part of that whole milleau

I was at a Peter, Paul and Mary concert here in Austin about a week or so after MLK was assassinated. That I will never forget...

Thanks for that! I love seeing stuff about that era - this music was a big part of my childhood. My first concert alone (with a friend but without grownups, a birthday present from my parents) was a benefit for The Newport Folk Foundation at Carnegie Hall, with Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor, Richie Havens, Odetta, Richard and Mimi FariƱa, Pete Seeger and others.

I'm always haunted by the tragic end of Phil Ochs.
