I hired a crew to film it…or better said…TO NOT MISS CAPTURING IT ALL!!!!!

Do you think we over-did it?

We 

NOT ONLY

Over did it

But we virtually hijacked 

The Gracious Village Underground from owner Noam Dworman.

We stayed around

For SEVEN hours on a Monday in June 2010.

After closing, we stayed some more.

BRIBERY of the house manager gets you everywhere

THIS

Is THE

LOST Footage that most Folkies thought was LOST

Forever. Yet here it is.

ALL THE LIVE ACTION 

(And I mean ALL)

Can only be seen here on Bob Porco’s Substack

The FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT 

can be found at the bottom of this post after your ticket is punched. Take all the time you need!

You may share this post address with friends but Substack won’t let them through until they subscribe. If you are subscribed, you’ll see all the action below🎬🎬🎬🎬

I’m handing off 7 hours of the 

MOST VISUALLY ARRESTING

Music concert footage

ANYWHERE

…and this is

JUST ONE CAMERA ANGLE shot by the Lost Footage crew.

THIS CONCERT IS SOMETHING TO SEE

FOR NOW

This paywall is the portal into the past

To a time

When over 

FORTY MUSICIANS

and their entourage 

Shared the stage 

TOGETHER

one last time at Folk City

TO HONOR

MIKE PORCO

THE DEAN OF FOLK CITY

ALL THE VIDEO

has been on ice for over a decade

Thirteen and a half years!!!

All told,

You’ll find 

17 different movie clips

With

Two or more performances per clip

Your PORTAL

Payment

Includes:

17 different clips

51 performances

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

For the very last number

I shared a mic with Rod MacDonald 

For a rendition of 

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door

This all happened

Sometime in the 7th hour 

On a Monday in 2010

When the main establishment was already closed

MY FIRST PRODUCTION

I eventually went on to produce two dozen more shows (including the 60th Anniversary Concert posted on my YouTube channel @BobPorco).

We kinda upset the oncoming comedy show

(Cancelled because we wouldn’t go away)

But

Because I recorded 

The FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT,

NO ONE will forget

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

📣 After the cameras were put away

Some of us went back to Frandsen’s for a

Wee dram of whiskey and little guitar playing🎼

And we all went home. I walked East with David Massengill about 3:30AM.

🚨The end.🚨 

I have other home movies taken at many concerts, backstages and off- hours. Please help make this SUBSTACK PAGE a success so I may share much of what I have in the future. 

Here’s FOLK in your eye,

Bob
