We Shall Overcome is a 1963 album by Pete Seeger. It was recorded live at his concert at Carnegie Hall, New York City, on June 8, 1963, and was released by Columbia Records.
The concert would later be described by Ed Vulliamy of The Observer as "a launch event for the entwining of the music and politics of the 1960s". Reviewer Stewart Mason at Allmusic said some of the songs were "trite", and that "the second half of the concert, climaxing in the definitive version of 'Guantanamera,' is protest folk at its finest." It was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2006, which called it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
The album was reissued in an expanded 2-CD version in 1989, as We Shall Overcome - The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert.
