Greenpeace and Activism
The participation of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Phil Ochs in the Amchitka benefit concert on October, 16,1970 helped launch the first voyage of Greenpeace. The funding raised by the concert was used to launch a ship: the Phyllis McCormack, a vessel which was used to protest nuclear testing in the Aleutian Islands by the United States in the early 1970s.

Phil Ochs Contribution to Amchitka
During the 1970 Amchitka benefit concert, Phil Ochs was quoted saying, "not everyday you get to play in a police state" before performing the song 'Rhythms of Revolution". On the Amchitka (album) specifically, Phil Ochs is credited as the writer and performer for songs 3-10 on the track listing through Universal Music Group. The daughter of Phil Ochs, Meegan Lee Ochs and her brother, Michael Ochs, are referenced by Greenpeace as the first individuals to have signed on to the Amchitka benefit concert project.

The Reception of Music used in Chords of Fame
The 1984 feature-length documentary over the life of Phil Ochs called Chords of Fame was reviewed by The New York Times film critic, Janet Maslin, in which she provided commentary that that the musical discography of Phil Ochs "is best represented in the film as sung by his fellow folksingers, including Eric Anderson, Pete Seeger, and Tom Paxton".

Mady Schutzman and Bill Burnett are both credited in the production of the film's music department as the music directors and the music arrangers.
