Omaha Performing Arts presents Arlo Guthrie in the Kiewit Hall at the Holland Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m. Guthrie will perform live, for the first time in a decade, “The Alice’s Restaurant Massacre” in its entirety. Tickets start at $20, and are available at TicketOmaha.com, 402.345.0606 or at the Ticket Omaha Office inside the Holland Center, 1200 Douglas St.
It was 50 years ago, 1965, when Guthrie took out the trash following a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat. This hilarious account of actual events that precluded Guthrie from military service, became a platinum selling record (1967) and full-length motion picture (1969), and has become as traditional a part of Thanksgiving as cranberry sauce. “The Massacree” became anthemic for the anti-war movement of the Vietnam era, though Guthrie told Ron Bennington in a 2009 interview, “It wasn’t an anti-war song; it was an anti-stupid song.” Because of its length (approximately 18 minutes), he has only added the complete “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” to his touring menu on the 10-year anniversaries. The Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour will feature the full “Massacree” along with many favorites from Arlo’s catalog.
