In Concert
Don McLean
1973 • E8 Mar 8, 1973
Don McLean served his song-writing apprenticeship during the time he spent on veteran folk-singer Pete Seeger's wind-powered anti-pollution cruise round the Eastern waterways of the USA. His first LP was ignored until the mysterious hit 'American Pie' forced his work onto a wider public. Tonight's programme includes Don's 'Pie' and his homage to Van Gogh, 'Vincent.'
