Thread Name: Erik Darling's history with the Weavers
Subject: RE: Folklore: Erik Darling and the Weavers
In fact there were 2. Friday evening and Saturday evening. The best piecews of the two were used for the film.

It was truly a moving evening and the tickets were sold out within 4 hrs of being offered for sale in one of the smallest ads you can get in the NY Times.

In fact, The Weavers, did the second half of the concert. Pete Seeger did the first half and then came what everyone was waiting for.

A particular moment between Lee and Ronnie moved me to tears.   I don't recall if it is in the film---quite subtle and quick. But it told the whole story of the relationships of the entire group.
