We sang at the Clearwater Festival - The Great Hudson River Revival June 22, 2008. Raging Grannies from New York City, Tennessee, Westchester County, and Western Massachusetts tried to stay dry in a storm. A damp but steadfast audience sang along.

We're about 5 minutes/15 seconds into a 19-minute video, starting in the middle of the first verse.

We sing "Sit-in by the Impeachment Tree" and "Halliburton" at the United For Peace and Justice March in New York City on March, 18, 2007. The description of the video is: "Greg Stewart as the Unknown Soldier encounters the Granny Brigade as they have a sing a long of Anti War tunes . . ." Other marchers sing with us, starting at 2:18 of the video. We’re off camera for a few seconds but still audible, back on camera to 4:11.
