Bruce played the song 63 times:
It was not released on the album" the Seeger Sessions" but it was a steady song during the Seeger Sessions Tour. The songs was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video. At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger. The song was performed in duetting Springsteen / Marc Anthony Thompson.
"... this is a song that we, uh, we learned as we went into New Orleans, it was kind of the theme song of the city and, uh, like I said, I´ve been telling folks every night, we play it with some trepidation, uh….and, but there´s a few verses that I, that I discovered in, in a, a book that I had, that I hadn´t heard sung very often, really kind of opened this song up for me and actually the Weavers sing it on their version but there was a (some people cheer) yes, we got some Weavers´ fans….but, uh….this kind of, I guess those verses really kind of explain, uh, what we´re trying to do up here tonight and, uh, so I wanna send this one out to you saying thanks, God bless for coming out, thank you very kindly…."
