I'm 31. My parents were children in the 1960s. I grew up listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary, so their music resonates and sweeps me back to the most beautiful, early childhood memories and the radiant connection I have with my loving parents. When I was 18 transitioning into adulthood and learning how I love to sing and write music, I was also going througha hard time; I listened to their music. So as God brought me back into light, I sang to their harmonies. Now their music makes me think of not one but two essential times of my life. I remember trying tk decide whose voice was best out of three and couldn't do it. All to perfect. On top of all this, young Paul looks just a little bit like my father did as a young man. So watching them singing is a little like having my father immortalized as a young man. I freakin love Peter, Paul, and Mary. They are the definition of harmony. And forever they will continue to inspire me as a person and a singer.
So true! I was very surprised when in about 1980 they came to Minneapolis and sang at a restaurant as I thought they filled concert halls. I didn't plan ahead and can't remember how soon I found out... I think it was after the fact, as usual for me ha! As a kid I my sister and husband got a very nice floor console type of stereo, a Webcor, as a wedding gift when they married in 1961. They liked PPM and I remember The Sand Pipers album. I like the Folk Music era. I like others too like The Mamas and the Papas, Christy Minstrels. I like how PPM has such control and like the song, "Lovin' Me" (don't know the name) how they go from soft and increase their volume then back off. I gues RCA or a major label actually put them together. I guess they didn't form the group themselves.
They appeared in Albuquerque NM while I was in school there in 1965. Best concert I've ever attended in my life. They exalted us and brought tears to our eyes, and all the fellows were madly in love with Mary. Peter first came onstage, stepped up to the mike & said, "My name is Peter; I'm not an apostle." Then Paul came out & said, "My name is Paul, I'm also not an apostle." Finally Mary came out; she said "My name is Mary," while she looked daggers at Peter & Paul! Unforgettable night, unforgettable music, unforgettable warmth and joy! Alas, a different world then, and a better.
Goddess among goddesses, the one and only, outstanding human-doing and greatly missed, sweetness that will always be-Mary 💜🌻💜 This world has been blessed by her and I’m sure it’s better off for said blessings 💜🌻✌️
When they first arrived on the scene everyone that even knew what a guitar was formed a trio and sang to anyone that would listen. No one could match them. A singular combination of voices and style. And like everyone is saying, no auto tune, no multiple tracks laid down, just singing. It was a good time to be living.
Likewise. I first heard Peter, Paul and Mary aged 8 whilst living in Australia in the early 1960s and have some very fond memories of their songs being played at school events.
I'm 72, and assume I first heard them about 10 as well. I saw them three times in concert, and Perter and Paul in a final tribute at Ravinia after Mary passed away. Best folk group of all time.
I saw them while I was in college in 1966(76)now) and still listen to them on records, cassettes, and cds. Love their songs and music. They led a generation to be what we old folks are today.
Been fans when they were two beards and a blonde as well as when they were two balds and a blonde and it broke my heart when the world lost Mary. I still get teary eyed when I hear them sing on the radio.
I grew up with Peter, Paul and Mary's music as a backdrop and was privileged to see them live in Australia in the late nineties. The full moon rising behind the stage and them performing was truly memorable. RIP Mary.
1965 a very special, if not very sad year for family! We lost my father and my mother lost her baby sister. But it was a time of great music from PPM to Dylan and the Beatles. RIP Dad!
Beautifull, heartwarming vocal harmonies. Born in the 1950s in the Netherlands I allways had been drawn to music which sounded different from main-stream popular music I heard on the radio, I dicovered artists like PP&M. It opened-up a whole new world for me and the journey has not ended. I still dicover new music every day.
As a kid in 1960 to high school grad 1966 and college grad 1970 and navy until 1978, Buddy Holly, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Beach Boys, Beatles, Stones, Dave Clark Five, Who, Guess Who, Grass Roots, Kinks, Zombies, Bob Dillon, Chuck Jackson, Brook Benton, Them, The Uniques, 96 Tears, Ray Charles, Bruce Chanel, Timi Yuro, The Aquatones, Brenda Lee, 4 Seasons, Brian Highland, Roy Orbison, The Supremes, Elvis, Ray Stevens, the Japanese one hit wonder, The Lettermen, Gene Pitney, a jillion motown groups, and many other hit makers in the 60's, we were so lucky for this music, I think we old timers measure our lives to the time frame of this music, I do. Absolutely the finest of life. hub, VF96 US Navy
My wife, Sue & I were married in early 1966 after dating since late 65. Our song was & still is, 'Let's Hang On' by the Four Seasons. A few said it would never last but we're still here & together after more than 57 years.
To me, Peter, Paul and Mary were the refinement of the 60's folk style. Their renditions were dynamic and immersed in emotion. Watching this program makes me miss those days, as turbulent as they were.
The music if the 60’s had a message that is timeless. Let’s hope and pray that the seeds of discontent that were planted on those songs will bring to fruition all the peace we cried out for in those songs. We are here again to see if that cry can be answered by this generation - we were the seed planters but the sowing was real and so will the reaping - that the natural law of love and life❤️
Thank you for sharing This beautiful Peter,Paul, and Mary's pice of history And to think we sang The times they are a changing At my 8th grade graduation Wow 1970
I think the 'views' numbers are a bit pathetic! What is so wrong with mankind? There should be millions! These songs, these souls,this culture is just SO important to our survival and mere existence in this eternal universe...to say the least!!! Amen???
The more I thought about your comment, the more it makes sense. I thought my mom loved PPM, but when I shared this, she wasn't that excited. As I moved on to more PPM videos, I realized why my Mom gave up on this group: they became liberal extremists. They were activist musicians. They're AMAZINGLY TALENTED, but their message became more and more militant and "woke". No matter how great the talent, if it lacks underlying integrity and Truth, it won't survive. God is in control, not arrogant activists. I trust God, not the statistics and coercion of leftist extremists.
@@ghrohrs2020 If you think PPM were leftist extremists...God help YOU!!! If you think singing songs promoting peace is leftist extremism ...see a fekn psychiatrist. And ask Jesus for forgiveness.
I loved the group for so many years when I was young. And when I went to sea on a submarine just a couple years later, and then subsequently sent to shore duty, one of the first thing I did was to buy a record player, and a Peter, Paul and Mary album. I had missed them so much. Each of them were an incredible artist by themselves, but the synergy of all 3 could not be overlooked. Seeing them again, so many decades after that time brought back some favorite old memories. Thank you for sharing.
I am glad that this video is in black and white. It speaks to those times and makes me remember them. Right on, with no distractions, I remember the idealism and gentle passion that was embodied in many of that generation and in this legendary trio. How I wish it had lasted forever.
As Hunter Thompson said, "...We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . . So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Ah Herman, I am also 75 & PP&M were the big loves of my teens & early 20s in Melbourne. I saw them so many times on their Australian tours in the 60s & 70s, they were a huge part of my growing up. They never let us down, performances were all sublime. I still listen to them with gratitude for all they brought with them. I remember them as a strong commentary of the world which changed so much, and they are still too immediate for me to feel nostalgia. It could all have been yesterday !
Had the thrill of seeing them live in concert while in college in 1966. Their music was great. Their harmony was flawless and pristine and their performances were heartfelt and endearing. My favorite group all time. Really miss them.
I saw them several times, as well as Mary as a solo artist. There's simply nothing that compares to those voices singing together. I have loved them for many years.
I’ve been a fan of Peter, Paul and Mary since the 60s, but I never heard them sing the song “the first time ever I saw your face.” I wasn’t aware of that until it was a bigger hit later. What a gorgeous and serene, but moving, rendition this is. Fabulous concert. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
Shaped my perception of the world. Love their music so much that my life long friends started a folk group. Learned to play and sing everyone song PP&M recorded. It us now posted on You Tube by my talented Grandson. We called ourselves The Grouppe. We may never pass this way again. 😊
I found myself singing along with most songs and wishing my fingers still worked like they did 50 years ago and I had a guitar in my hands. O the memories…
Saw them in concert twice. They had the audience sing along to Puff The Magic Dragon the same as this concert. What a treat to be there. Mary lost her voice temporarily, and they paused the show for a little while until her voice returned, beautiful as ever.
Quite simply the greatest live performanc ever and I was lucky enought to witness these wonderful people all those years ago. They changed every aspect of my life and the truth of their presence has carried me on to these dreadful days. You can see the young audience trying to understant the life of the songs and perhaps become advocates of truth..... what the hell went wrong?!? My ageing heart is broken now and I feel so lonely as I live out my last days. Bless the three of them for the gifts they gave.
Mr. Collinjohnrudd, You're breaking my heart. I think I'm just a bit younger than you because I don't really remember Peter, Paul and Mary first hand but I remember nostalgicly hearing them throughout my childhood. Their cousins too: Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Judy Collins... none are forgotten. You need only listen to the many versions of Sound of Silence to know that what I say is true. My nephews who are in their 30s are aware and appreciative of this wonderful tradition. It lives on in Irish music and in some country music, especially that which has political, patriotic and faithful overtones. Many of us stand with you and all is not lost. Ronald Reagan and his emulators have said The Best Is Yet To Come. Change is hard won and often painful but what is great about the United States will survive. People like me have you to thank. Look upward and outward and keep the spirit of hope that is so evident in those songs alive. You Are Not Alone. I think perhaps I know another song that might cheer you. It goes like this: When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roar, whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul. May the good Lord bless and keep you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you peace... there is one other song that might help: One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you. Just give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do. Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine. Lord help me today. Show me the way, one day at a time. My prayers are with you and anyone who may read these words. Instead of trolling or Doomsday-ing, let's pray for each other, our beleaguered elderly president, our country and our troubled world.
My brother caught me crying to Puff the Magic Dragon , he laughed, I cried in anger, a story we shared for the rest of our lives. My brother is gone now, but that memory remains.
@@jameseubanks1817 Of course! This song got me through a dozen years of babysitting, as well as raising a daughter. Each and everyone of these children know the song. There is another generation of adults singing to their children. :)
Love Peter, Paul and Mary. Good to see Mary young. My wife died in 2009 as well. Guess my favorite song is Puff the Magic Dragon. Grand daughters like it too. Mary was the queen of hair flips.😁 Love to put on a cd and sing along with them.
They are great live and Also on PBS. Peter Yarrow was answering phones during the pledge drive. They are a significant part of American Folk music and will be remembered fondly. RIP Mary Travers abd best wishes for Peter and Paul.
Mary Travers is one of those very few singers, male or female, whose voice rings like a bell. I can think of only a few others - Judith Durham, Jon Anderson, Geddy Lee come easily to mind. It's a rare quality, and when you hear it you'll never forget it.
Absolutely. From what I've read, Mary never thought she was much of a singer in these early days, and Peter and Paul brought her in for some "sex appeal". How wrong she was. While they all sound perfect, she's the one that stands out.
Such incredible harmony with the three great voices and the guitars. A very simple assembly but with so much incredible and powerful impact! They are among the most beautiful thing the world has to offer.
Simply superb! Elegant repertoire including classics by Gordon Lightfoot (who they introduced to the world) and Bob Dylan (whose anthems they brought to the masses). Their vocal blend, espressivo dynamics and rhythmic vitality is unique AF.
Definitely brings back great memories. I saw them live many times and they were instrumental in motivating me to sing and play guitar and banjo. My favorite folk group ever 🎶👍❤️
True...so true. Perfect harmony ...53 here my papa introduced me to them when I was a child. Love them even more now and strangely enough I'm reintroducing them to my papa because I think he forgot how good they are
Such incredible performers! Flawless and polished, but with unmistakable stage presence, and a perfectly balanced harmonic blend. Three of their songs, "If I Had A Hammer," "Puff, the Magic Dragon", and "Blowin' In the Wind," were among my earliest memories as I became musically aware, and evoke such strong, pleasant memories of my youth. How unfortunate it is that the political theory which animated much of that era's music, whatever good has come from it, has matured into the dark and insane plague we suffer today.
"How unfortunate it is that the political theory which animated much of that era's music, whatever good has come from it, has matured into the dark and insane plague we suffer today." What was heartfelt idealism morphed into rigid authoritarianism.
So great to relive hearing and seeing this group. In 1962 or 1963, my fraternity brother, Fred Donner, ran around the fraternity house telling us all that we had to go to the Diag and hear this group that was performing for free. Those of us who did were rewarded in a way that none of us will ever forget. As to singers whose voice rings like a bell, the best has always been Linda Ronstadt.
If you like singers with a bell quality I'd recommend a young RUclipsr called Allison Young. She does covers that are totally fresh as well her own writing.
My all time favorite folk group. I first heard them when I was a really young child (6 or 7 I think). My dad and uncles were into folk music and I developed my love for it listening to the records they played.
In the early 60's I was out with some friends at the Green Door on Lake Street in Minneapolis. The Green Door was just a local bar that had some live music. The MC introduced a group that would be up the next weekend. They were sitting at the table next to us. We didn't hear of them before. They stood up and they were Peter, Paul and Mary! Now I love them.
I had the pleasure of seeing them when they last come to Australia in Melbourne a truely memorable concert, after the concert I walked with Paul back to his hotel , it was something I would not give up having a chance to talk about their music will remember it for always, Peter and Mary stayed behind with a meet and greet, this video brought back so many memories. their nine albums for Warner Bros are some of my favourite recordings still played today though on CD now, lastly I would like to give a special thank you to Robert for sharing this video. cheers.

I saw them in Paris(i'm french)in 68..and I fall in love !
Peter, Paul, and Mary and the Beatles represent the best the 1960s had to offer. This is a great performance!
So true! I was very surprised when in about 1980 they came to Minneapolis and sang at a restaurant as I thought they filled concert halls. I didn't plan ahead and can't remember how soon I found out... I think it was after the fact, as usual for me ha!

I like the Folk Music era. I like others too like The Mamas and the Papas, Christy Minstrels. I like how PPM has such control and like the song, "Lovin' Me" (don't know the name) how they go from soft and increase their volume then back off. I gues RCA or a major label actually put them together. I guess they didn't form the group themselves.
Mid 60's for sure, we were blessed with many great musicians and story tellers in the 60's and 70's😎😊

I would quickly add The Seekers to this list of stellar groups.

@@rlewis1946 no problem here! We were overwhelmed with great works!!!!
P P and M yes but the Beatles no
Mary was so young and so beautiful, her voice made Peter and Paul blend together so well... LOVE LOVE this trio
YES YES, what you said. Beautiful Mary ❤️
Yes, and no apologies for being a blonde.
ahem, blond and a half@@greendeane1
Mary was beautiful? She was homely!
Oh may! At my age of seventy seven they are still magnificent even though they are gone. Thanh goodness for youtube. Am able to still enjoy them!
Yes, we lost our exquisite Mary, but Noel and Peter are still performing in 2024! I have tickets to see Peter in April!
I loved them,Mommas and Poppas , and all the other Folk Singers ,Hootenannies . What a wonderful musical time. I’m glad I grew up then.
Me too. Class of 69
The Best of times
Where did you learn that "folk singers" should be capitalized?

I saw happy you had the privilege to have seen them as I did in their early years. Their talent only approved over the years unto Mary’s passing
SO GLAD FOR YOU MATE THAT YOU SAW THEM
Awesome trio...
Rest in eternal peace Mary...
Yes the sweet nightingale that she was❤
An incredible representative of the best in women.
Goddess among goddesses, the one and only, outstanding human-doing and greatly missed, sweetness that will always be-Mary 💜🌻💜 This world has been blessed by her and I’m sure it’s better off for said blessings 💜🌻✌️

And like everyone is saying, no auto tune, no multiple tracks laid down, just singing. It was a good time to be living.
I sometimes think that auto-tune is to vocals what CGI is to visuals. There's absolutely something there, but it's been unnaturally enhanced.
The Kingston Trio would like to sing for you
The memories made me cry too. Joy in days past , hope for days to come. I could listen for them all day.
I was soon after a music major and we didn't listen to popular music...50 years later I still don't.
So true!
Outstanding. I loved them since I was about 10 and I’m 72 now. I’ve seen them in concert a few times. Thank you for the memories and the music ♥️

Saw them live 3 times in Australia.
I’m 76 and Mary’s hair flick still gets to me 😁
I'm 69 so I'm about your same generation, and I would have given anything for that straight, blond, shiny hair of Mary's!
Good for you man.i really wanted to see them live to😢
good morning my friend neil how can i get in touch with the seekers too am also 67 yrs
good morning my friend neil i didn't know that mary was not a blonde too
Good evening my friend who liked my comment here too
A masterclass in making meaningful and moving music.
There songs thru the 60s and 70s words were real and pure! Helped us live thru bad times. God bless co you ❤
You too
Singing Puff the Magic dragon, my daughter loved this song when I used to rock her and we would sing she'd smile brings back great memories .
Loved Puff when no one really cared. I was a baby, I love Puff still. Ain't no baby anymore
I am 18 again. I bought every album released in the UK, and still have them.

I saw them in the mid to late 60's at the Stadium in Sydney. Terrible venue (it was a boxing stadium) , but one of the best concerts I have seen.

I’ve been a fan of Peter, Paul and Mary since the 60s, but I never heard them sing the song “the first time ever I saw your face.” I wasn’t aware of that until it was a bigger hit later. What a gorgeous and serene, but moving, rendition this is. Fabulous concert. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
My wife and I had that played as our wedding song when the band called us onto the dance floor for our first dance as a couple.
it is in a movie with Clint Eastwood that really left an impression on my memory
Shaped my perception of the world. Love their music so much that my life long friends started a folk group. Learned to play and sing everyone song PP&M recorded. It us now posted on You Tube by my talented Grandson. We called ourselves The Grouppe. We may never pass this way again. 😊
I found myself singing along with most songs and wishing my fingers still worked like they did 50 years ago and I had a guitar in my hands. O the memories…
Me too.
Saw them in concert twice. They had the audience sing along to Puff The Magic Dragon the same as this concert. What a treat to be there. Mary lost her voice temporarily, and they paused the show for a little while until her voice returned, beautiful as ever.
Quite simply the greatest live performanc ever and I was lucky enought to witness these wonderful people all those years ago. They changed every aspect of my life and the truth of their presence has carried me on to these dreadful days. You can see the young audience trying to understant the life of the songs and perhaps become advocates of truth..... what the hell went wrong?!? My ageing heart is broken now and I feel so lonely as I live out my last days. Bless the three of them for the gifts they gave.
Mr. Collinjohnrudd, You're breaking my heart. I think I'm just a bit younger than you because I don't really remember Peter, Paul and Mary first hand but I remember nostalgicly hearing them throughout my childhood. Their cousins too: Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Judy Collins... none are forgotten. You need only listen to the many versions of Sound of Silence to know that what I say is true. My nephews who are in their 30s are aware and appreciative of this wonderful tradition. It lives on in Irish music and in some country music, especially that which has political, patriotic and faithful overtones. Many of us stand with you and all is not lost. Ronald Reagan and his emulators have said The Best Is Yet To Come. Change is hard won and often painful but what is great about the United States will survive. People like me have you to thank. Look upward and outward and keep the spirit of hope that is so evident in those songs alive. You Are Not Alone. I think perhaps I know another song that might cheer you. It goes like this: When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roar, whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.
May the good Lord bless and keep you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you peace... there is one other song that might help: One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you. Just give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do. Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine. Lord help me today. Show me the way, one day at a time.
My prayers are with you and anyone who may read these words. Instead of trolling or Doomsday-ing, let's pray for each other, our beleaguered elderly president, our country and our troubled world.
@@baxtercol That was beautiful Colleen, thank you
@@vickeysteffin8061 thank you for noticing. I pray it lifted you up
@@baxtercol It did yoy are a blessing.
What the hell went wrong? Maybe their truth was not true. And maybe the sexual revolution and multiple forms of neo-Marxism followed.
I love Peter,Paul and Mary ,they were just so talented and beautiful !
My brother caught me crying to Puff the Magic Dragon , he laughed, I cried in anger, a story we shared for the rest of our lives. My brother is gone now, but that memory remains.
I still cry a wee bit, when singing along to Puff
@@mariellengiordano9884 And you know all the words too! I'm just assuming here.
@@jameseubanks1817 Of course! This song got me through a dozen years of babysitting, as well as raising a daughter. Each and everyone of these children know the song. There is another generation of adults singing to their children. :)
😂❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I always love their songs.. One is the BLOWIN IN THE WIND.. ❤
Simply the BEST!!!
Love Peter, Paul and Mary. Good to see Mary young. My wife died in 2009 as well. Guess my favorite song is Puff the Magic Dragon. Grand daughters like it too. Mary was the queen of hair flips.😁 Love to put on a cd and sing along with them.
They are great live and Also on PBS.
Peter Yarrow was answering phones during the pledge drive.
They are a significant part of American Folk music and will be remembered fondly.
RIP Mary Travers abd best wishes for Peter and Paul.
Oh, her dress is so pretty.
I love Peter Paul and Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've loved them since 1962!!!!!!!!!! They calm me when I was upset ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ or angry
Most beautiful video of the most beautiful blending of human voices
Yes, our dear Mary. So beautiful, inwardly, outwardly, every way.
Not beautiful outwardly.
Great to Remember of good old days.. Thank to my sister's..☮️☮️☮️
So much talent about, when I was a teenager. Only now I realise what my generation was given to grow up with. No drugs just pure given talent.
Seeing as how I was 10 years old when this concert was done. I knew everyone of these songs then and I still remember all of them like I was 10 again.
Mary Travers is one of those very few singers, male or female, whose voice rings like a bell. I can think of only a few others - Judith Durham, Jon Anderson, Geddy Lee come easily to mind. It's a rare quality, and when you hear it you'll never forget it.
Absolutely. From what I've read, Mary never thought she was much of a singer in these early days, and Peter and Paul brought her in for some "sex appeal". How wrong she was. While they all sound perfect, she's the one that stands out.
Could listen to each always
@@justinsomsel1162she was part of the triad, and made the group outstanding; as did Paul and Peter.
Es el mejor grupo de habla inglesa que conozco.
Joan Baez.
My Dad bought one of the few early stereo consoles in the early 60's I'm one of the luckiest music lovers!
This is a super live performance which I had not heard before. I had forgotten just how good they were.
I will never, no not ever forget the greatness, the sweet harmonies of Peter, Paul, and Mary!!!!!
Can't imaging an audience today looking that good and behaving so well.
Their music and the trio has aged well , still wonderful to listen too.
Great stuff
Their style is timeless. They sang for you not at you.
Great harmonies. Remember listening to my older sister's Peter, Paul, and Mary records whenever she went out on dates.
I first heard them, just as they were getting started, when I was in high school. I loved them then and still do. Timeless!
When 3 voices blend like that, it doesn't happen often.
1st time I saw them was on Ed Sullivan. Sang "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?"
Each of these three gifted artists so beautiful and sexy in their youth. "A beautiful thing is a joy forever."
Casi 60 años, hoy ya en diciembre los escucho y me conmuevo como la primera vez
So much we hoped for then..and so far back we have fallen…the times are still changing …for the nastier..
There were no drugs in the early days of that music. None.
True 😭
What a hopeful time
Such incredible harmony with the three great voices and the guitars. A very simple assembly but with so much incredible and powerful impact! They are among the most beautiful thing the world has to offer.
Simply superb! Elegant repertoire including classics by Gordon Lightfoot (who they introduced to the world) and Bob Dylan (whose anthems they brought to the masses). Their vocal blend, espressivo dynamics and rhythmic vitality is unique AF.
Bob Dylan, a Minnesotan like me🎉
Definitely brings back great memories. I saw them live many times and they were instrumental in motivating me to sing and play guitar and banjo. My favorite folk group ever 🎶👍❤️
Beautiful music heard these early in childhood and now that I am closer to the end still brings a tear to my eyes
The beauty...the harmony of this trio will never be matched. ❤❤❤
True...so true. Perfect harmony ...53 here my papa introduced me to them when I was a child. Love them even more now and strangely enough I'm reintroducing them to my papa because I think he forgot how good they are
Such incredible performers! Flawless and polished, but with unmistakable stage presence, and a perfectly balanced harmonic blend. Three of their songs, "If I Had A Hammer," "Puff, the Magic Dragon", and "Blowin' In the Wind," were among my earliest memories as I became musically aware, and evoke such strong, pleasant memories of my youth. How unfortunate it is that the political theory which animated much of that era's music, whatever good has come from it, has matured into the dark and insane plague we suffer today.
"How unfortunate it is that the political theory which animated much of that era's music, whatever good has come from it, has matured into the dark and insane plague we suffer today."
What was heartfelt idealism morphed into rigid authoritarianism.
The answer, We are still "Blowing in the Wind", surely there must still be Hope!!!!😎😉
Who would have thought Mary Travers would be looking down a camera lens at me and singing one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Blessed.
I recall seeing PP&M in a gymnasium. We sat on the floor just a few feet from them . Magical times .
The soundtrack of my high school years.....miss those times....
My Dad and Mom played this on our amazing home Phillip's Stereo system when I was 5 years old! Beautiful (1963)
I love Peter Paul and Mary 2:54 great songs
I grew up in the best times
same here, and I notice they've passed
She was so heartbreakingly beautiful, inside and out…I heard her sing this in person; smitten for life!
three voices peeled from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, coming down to earth to sing for us.
I hadn’t heard their version of The First Time before. Amazing.
Three Beautiful voices together created magic
So great to relive hearing and seeing this group. In 1962 or 1963, my fraternity brother, Fred Donner, ran around the fraternity house telling us all that we had to go to the Diag and hear this group that was performing for free. Those of us who did were rewarded in a way that none of us will ever forget.
As to singers whose voice rings like a bell, the best has always been Linda Ronstadt.
Closest competition might be Ann Wilson, whose range rivals Linda’s at her most glorious. Then there’s Joni Mitchell
@songdoctor8896 -- True....yes The Golden Age......BRAVO from Acapulco!
Linda's voice always sounded like a one person chorus, even though she sang with a chorus a lot.
If you like singers with a bell quality I'd recommend a young RUclipsr called Allison Young. She does covers that are totally fresh as well her own writing.
Glory to God for Peter, Paul and Mary ✨⭐✨
I believe listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary helped me get through college!
Brilliant ❤
My all time favorite folk group. I first heard them when I was a really young child (6 or 7 I think). My dad and uncles were into folk music and I developed my love for it listening to the records they played.
Peter Paul & Mary move me eternally. This video makes me feel like no other can do.
Much love 💓
Timeless songs they’re one of d best folk singing group, wonderful
When songs were worth hearing
Loved them then...Appreciate them now.
I find myself falling for Mary Travers, of course I know she's gone now. But still.
I met Mary many times on the Street in NY and at concerts and peace marches. She was so cool and not full of herself. I miss her and the guys
I grew hearing PPandM, Brothers 4, Kingston Trio etc. My parents enjoyed it also. We all watched Hootenany "Every Saturday Night".
In the early 60's I was out with some friends at the Green Door on Lake Street in Minneapolis. The Green Door was just a local bar that had some live music. The MC introduced a group that would be up the next weekend. They were sitting at the table next to us. We didn't hear of them before. They stood up and they were Peter, Paul and Mary! Now I love them.
One of the first lps I owned was Peter Paul and Mary.
Among the best three voices blending melodiously. Love them.❤
And they could sing in any venue from Carnegie Hall to open Microphones at a peace rally. Exceptional singers
Mary was the first woman I ever loved. I was 9 years old. 🥰
I met Mary on the street to in NY. So cool and hip without trying to be. Saw them from their beginning
She was one of my early puberty crushes as well.
I had the pleasure of seeing them when they last come to Australia in Melbourne a truely memorable concert, after the concert I walked with Paul back to his hotel , it was something I would not give up having a chance to talk about their music will remember it for always, Peter and Mary stayed behind with a meet and greet, this video brought back so many memories. their nine albums for Warner Bros are some of my favourite recordings still played today though on CD now, lastly I would like to give a special thank you to Robert for sharing this video. cheers.
