There are a lot of folksingers invited to the rally (by Peter Yarrow) to perform for the protesting crowd that was half a million strong. The event is best known for the crowd singing "Give Peace a Chance" with Pete Seeger yelling "Are you listening, Nixon?" I've uploaded the music performances from the event to YouTube and here is the playlist: Moratorium Day, November 15, 1969. There were a lot of brilliant speeches at the event, too, but I didn't have the time to upload them. 01. Peter Yarrow - Day Is Done 02. John Hartford - Orphan of World War Two 03. Tom Paxton - Jimmy Newman 04. Tom Paxton - Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream 05. Arlo Guthrie - I've Got to Know 06. Arlo Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land 07.
