The last time I saw Pete in performance was about 5 years ago. He was playing with his grandson.

His voice didn't have much left but his stage craft was still magical. He sang within his range. His banjo playing was appropriate. What I mean by that is that Pete is a phenomenal banjo player but you will almost never hear that on his songs. He never overshadows lyrics.

Also, if you want to know the incredible dynamics that Pete lends to singing groups, go back and listen to the Almanac Singers recordings. The Almanacs included Pete, Woody Guthrie, Lee Hays, Millard Lampell, Ronnie Gilbert, Helen Schneyer and others at various times. Their recordings of political music are wonderful. There's a great Bear Family set called "Songs for Political Action" which has all of the Almanac's recordings included.
