I just turned 66 and I am so thankful that I grew up with some of the greatest music ever written and performed by the the best musicians in the world.
@@thomastomfohr-kd6vj I used to manage a coffeehouse in Timonium, Md. in the mid 60's. One night, our featured performer brought a friend with him and asked if his friend could sing a couple of songs. the boss said that people had come to see/hear him, but "your friend can do one or two songs" that friend was Johnny Denver (as he was called back then) and the 'one or two songs' turned in to a 40 minute set. We knew then that Johnny Denver would be a big star someday.
I am 76 and this type of music is still the best. PPM, the new christy minstrels, Kingston trio , the Seekers, Linda Rhonstadt, the Highwaymen, I could go on but just to say the new singers of this age do not measure up to this talent.
I am 75 and listening to Peter.Paul and Mary brings me back to another time. 17 years old,my life hopes and dreams still ahead of me. They were such a talented group. Paul Stokey was a brilliant song writer and didn't get the recognition he deserved. But the talent lives on in their songs. What a valuable legacy they have left behind ❤
Albert Grossman thought Mary Travers would be a benefit to Peter and Paul. I sure am glad he did. Saw em live twice, the Guys used to come out on stage after Concerts and Rap with College Kids, along with plain old Fans. I was shooting film from Backstage when Mary walked by, saying, "make us look good." How is it possible to anything else?
this is the song, and this is the group, that inspired me to play guitar, which I have now done, by he grace of God, for almost 47 years. I still play this song most times tI perform.
I totally identify with what you are saying, for me, though, I never lost my love, but I do hear the bitterness, sadness, tragedy of those seven words, very sad.
So wonderfull,for me the best group..I'm french,and I fell in love,when they came in Paris,in 1968..Lo ng time ago.But they remainded among the best...Oh,Mary,RIP in our ❤ !
Yes, they were the best. I sang Puff, The Magic Dragon for my elementary school audience spring of 1963. P, P, & M were a major musical influence in my life.
You're right indeed !! The real problem is that nowadays, young singers and composer are not concentraded enough on what they do. They prefer to be superficial-easy , say: without any serious commitment, endeavour. That doesn't works!
They are around but it hard to find them There are cover acts going on but no one can replace them ever. The cover acts do not look like them and play twangy guitars and hook up electic inputs to the guitars but never give the same feeling as PP&M. I have seen some young guys that look like Paul did but they are not into singing nor play guitars. I'm seen some Mary look alikes younger but they do not know who PP&M were. It would be hard to find the right people with the same looks and the men play and sing like them. Finding them would be like finding a needle in a hundred hay stacks, but somewhere out there, they exist.
I was a sophomore in high school when the hootenanny came into style. I loved going to the coffee houses and listening to the folk singers. Other kids were buying pop music records while I was buying folk music. From that I evolved in college into the acid rock, Hendrix, the Doors, Country Joe and the Fish, and all the others. I eventually joined the SDS and protested the Vietnam War. In 69 I had just started law school and had to drop out after four months as I was drafted into the Marines. What a trip the sixties were.
Love Peter Paul and Mary - so fortunate to have grown up being influenced by their songs. They helped make me the person I am today. Thankyou for everything you stood for and believed in
I'm convinced tht P P & M were first to introduce close harmony to the "folk scene" back in the mighty 60s! BEAUTIFUL, just like the late gorgeous Mary!(RIP)
+KyranI an Geraghty Well, the Everlys were mostly country, but they did do folk songs with close harmonys well before PPM. Devoted To You, Let It Be Me, Cryin in the Rain. etc.
+Lengo67 But PP & M had a beautiful sound that I haven't seen duplicated. Perhaps it is the un-synthized music and the way one listens to the other. Mary, a bit too loud at times (her natural spirit) had to tone it down at times. But she was such a natural ! And so in-tune to the thing. I've yet to find another like her.
The Carter Family!!! On Top of Old Smokey...Good Night Irene...I've Got TO Be Moving Along...Down In The Valley..ohhh, like cross-ties on a railroad...
Lots of old comments, but this just showed up on my RUclips feed. Ilea’s lucky enuff to see two concerts in 1963 and 94, and prolly learned almost every song on those early albums to "perform" with friends and the occasional girlfrien😢. Saw them twice in concert, once at UI in Illinois then in Newport a year later. Unforgettable memories, 60 years later. I can still sing the songs but my hands cannot finger the guitar chords any longer. 😢. We all gotta go sometime…
P.P & Mary were the best trio ever ! Also talented as the duo Everly Brothers or Simon and Garfunkel . This performance "Dont Think Twice" is by far better than the original performed even by Bob Dylan ! It's just PERFECTION !
Magical... They were just wonderful in concert. I remember them signing autographs and talking to fans for 2 hours after a 3 hour concert. They just loved the younger fans, stocking up the next generation. Mary always marveled at the grandkids of their early fans. They were in love with music, and all they could do with it. Peter and Paul wrote a few standards. The Wedding Song by Peter, and Day Is Done by Paul. Standards. Their guitars and their harmony were as strong as any folk singers.
This is one of my precious songs throughout my life. My friend, my elder brother and I used to sing together at that time of early '70s. My friend who sang for Mary had died in her young age. I miss all people at that time.
This is the song- the original, from In the Wind, late '63 and 1964, that made me want- no, need- to play the guitar. 46 years later, I'm still playing gigs, and still playing this song, in a version quite close to this. Don't Think Twice changed my life. I'd never have met or married my wife, and a whole string of event that spring from music and the love it conveys.
They could sing in any venue. Small clubs to Carnegie Hall to outside festivals and peace rallies. I am privileged to have seen them from their beginning.
Iconic. Where have the years gone. Lord, this song is perfection. Two perfect guitars, three part harmony, great song! The 3 of you had a way of complimenting each other. It is a gift. Saw you many times over the years. Wedding Song, and Day is Done are a couple of your best contributions. Mary will always be missed. She was special, as we all are....
Peter, Paul, and Mary were the best at all they did!!!!....as a teen on the lower east side along with a few of my friends, helped move their belongings from their flat on east Broadway to their new pad on bleecker st.
They were the heart and soul of the folk era. I have had great good fortune to see them in live performances three times over the years. The first was in 1965 in Knoxville, TN, and the most recent here in Evansville a few years before Mary passed on.
I have collected different performances PP&M made of this song over the years (“If I Had My Way”, too) and l have realized that , far from just mechanically repeating the song as recorded, they always sought fresh nuances and deeper levels of meaning, polishing and cleaning melodies, lyrics and arrangements as tenderly as one would restore a fine jewel. Jukebox hacks don’t do this: artists do.
J'ai 64 ans et réentendre ce monument m'arrache les larmes. Mon adolescence défile, mes amis avec lesquelles on essayait de chanter sont à nouveau à côté de moi. Un poême de toute beauté de Dylan, un fingerpicking de classe et une harmonisation magnifique, tout y est pour ce qui est peut-être la plus belle chanson des années 60 et sa meilleure interprétation. Je suis devenu musicien classique et pianiste sur le tard, sans doute un peu grace à PPM et Don't think twice.
I'm an old man over 60 years old, and it's my daily routine to watch the video of Paul's main performance in Japan and sing along with him every day with a guitar in my hand, but even after listening to it many times, I'm still amazed at Paul's deep and artistic singing skills. Of course, it goes without saying that Peter and Marie's skills are also amazing.
@@carolynwoodman1734 I agree with you. Thank you for your comment. In terms of my musical life, they are still exceptional and divine. I can only thank them for how much I have been healed by their wonderful voices.
Paul taught me this guitar part in his motel room after the concert in Corvallis Oregon in 1968. Very Generous of him to spend his time with a college student. These were very good and loving people. I have played it a thousand times since.
Love this song. Great Group and harmony. Kind of reminds me of my life right now with a man who says he loves me please. You Just Kind of Wasted my Precious Time Says it All Dont Think Twice its alright you really dont like me so please just go to Missouri with whats her name and leave me alone stop torturing me with your 50 year old immaturity already just man up and go.
Je vous comprends très bien! Je suis de la mème génération que la vôtre et entendre aujourd'hui encore ce merveilleux trio, m'arrache des larmes!! Bob Dylan ne pouvait exiger une meilleure interprétation: elle est est bien supérieure à celle de son grand auteur lui-même !!
This is an astounding version of an incredible song (with Dylan just 22 when writing it). I love the guitar solo that Peter does at the opening and have based my playing of it mostly on that wonderful instrumental. Perfect singing too.
I just turned 80. PPM played at my college Gustavus Adolphus in St Peter MN. After the program a couple frat brothers took Mary to Minneapolis to catch a flight. I am Still smiling. Tom Tomfohr
Beautiful song, and guitar work. Many years ago, I was in a folk group, and even learned some 12 string guitar. Not a natural player, but loved it all. 💘
im 17 and the great music makers skipped my generation but music like this resonates so deeply and the style of the music itself is kinda how i play i dont kno but i love this.

They really captured some of the tenderest emotions..
Me 65. Same. We were lucky.
@@Rossmelanson no, that would be you for saying that!
I am now 70, and still love this song! Their music made a difference in my life! Loved them!
I am 73 and first saw the trio at Carnegie Hall 1965. Wow
How 3 voices would weave a tapestry of songs.
I just turned 80 and still love listening to PP&M......they were the best group and their music will live forever.😍
I also just turned 80 and feel the same way. Additionally I had the opportunity to interact with both PPM and John Dener

I saw them three times. I’m a Baby Boomer and we had great music.
Yes we did!
I grew up with them ...
Back in the day ...
You never forget!

“We never did too much talking anyway”….my favourite harmony vocal line of all time. Beyond sublime.
I totally identify with what you are saying, for me, though, I never lost my love, but I do hear the bitterness, sadness, tragedy of those seven words, very sad.
Me too, so bitter sweet.
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul. Some of the best lyrics ever, thanks Bob Dylan.
After more than 50 years, never tired of this song! Thanks, P,P, andM, and to writer Bob Dylan!
It’s almost as if these three were put on Earth to sing with each other. Amazing.
Paul was a wonderful finger style picker. Mary's style is timeless-what a pure voice. These three were a musical gift for the ages.
Absolutely. It's now 10:08, 13 September, 2023. Nothing has changed, their music, their words, their meanings. Just singing the current people.

They were the best folk group ever
formed! Big songs Big hearts Big souls!
don't forget Big brains for supporting worthy causes
Not just the best folk group.
I'm 72 years old and I would never have made it through my teens and 20s without PP&M.
Love Peter Paul and Mary - so fortunate to have grown up being influenced by their songs. They helped make me the person I am today. Thankyou for everything you stood for and believed in

Impossible to do not listen to Peter, Paul and Mary and don't like, simply unforgiveable songs.

Absolutely miss you Mary, thinking of you everyday!!!!

My 76 year life.
They were all together when they performed. They could catch each other
Like trapeze artist if needed

Fantastic, brings back long fogotten but great memories
And I'm 74 and still enjoy it all.
Nice song. Nice group. The BEST!!!!
地球のアンテナとしては、ボブ・ディランに降りたのでしょうが、この人たちが歌うべき曲でしたね。本当に素晴らしい。

I grew up with this music, early 60s , , it's shaped me life. , , , ❤❤❤❤❤
This was one of my fave songs from the 1960s...and this version from the 1980s shows PPM were so very versatile and magic
くよくよするなよ、とは自分に言い聞かせている、本心は逆に未練たっぷり、男の強がり瘦せ我慢の心情だ、それを実に素晴らしく歌っている。❤

The 60's were amazing. Lyrics from the inner soul. When artists made their own music not what "publishers" insisted.
The best version of that song.. Best trio so far
The guitar picking in the version is sublime. Yarrows melody line adds so much to the performance.
OH, yes,! I am 86, and I have not found anything that tops these voices much love.
songs from a great era...never to be repeated again

I fell so privileged to have seen them
as a 13 yr old in 1965 at Carnegie Hall
and at peace and civil right marches
The Guys and the Divine Ms Mary
What an amazing performance!!!
when i listen this song, i find our generation's musicians falling behind.
This is an astounding version of an incredible song (with Dylan just 22 when writing it). I love the guitar solo that Peter does at the opening and have based my playing of it mostly on that wonderful instrumental. Perfect singing too.
Written by Canada's own Gordon Lightfoot
No, this is written by Bob Dylan
That was Paul doing the opening solo.
Just a joy to stumble across this tonight.
I just turned 80. PPM played at my college Gustavus Adolphus in St Peter MN. After the program a couple frat brothers took Mary to Minneapolis to catch a flight. I am Still smiling. Tom Tomfohr
Wow thank you for this wonderful memorie
45 years ago and this song still cuts me in half and that child is over 40 ---aaaaa the magic to take me back that far --- is like yesterday !
So wonderful harmony, especially so nice when they have become beautifully old !!
Never been a Dyan fan, but this one---------oh yes, this is a Masterpiece. ----------RIP, beautiful Mary. ----------------MJL, 74 y/o
Well, there's Dylan's writing and songs which are superb and then there's his singing which is very so so. So many good Dylan covers.
Beautiful song, and guitar work. Many years ago, I was in a folk group, and even learned some 12 string guitar. Not a natural player, but loved it all. 💘
That harmony sends the chills up and down my spine!

No matter what other people say, PP&M were the best at vocal harmonies. And this song was one of Dylan's best...
You're absolutely right: this is the best performance ever of this awesome song!
***** Everly Brothers were unique : also great songwriters.
P.P.&M were only singer, but masterfully !
You are right. Hadn't read your comment when I replied to someone that the EB Had inspired everybody else afterwards!!
That's that !
didn't know the everly brothers covered it. i'll have to try and find that.
