september 2024 71 years old; i also grew up with them in the 60's; best folk group of all time! i never get tired of listening to them. i attended all of their later concerts beginning with the 25 year anniversary concert in 1986
So nostalgic, idolized them, remember every word. Now 73yrs old. Brings me to tears. The world had so much promise then and they sang about it. We unfortunately gone backwards
I second all the other praises. I was lucky enough to have seen them a few times. Just an awesome experience! Mary, RIP, is among the most beautiful voices ever! Peter and Paul are awesome too. Together, their harmony was beautiful. And so many iconic songs. Thanks to all of you who have preserved some of PP&M's great performances.
Oh how I loved their music, and here we are 2021 a full 60 years since they first sang together, and their songs are still as relevant and good to listen to. A nostalgic walk down memory lane, it triggered tears of happiness and sadness all at once.
I’m also here in May 2022 on Memorial Weekend, just after the recent school shootings in Texas. I turn to Peter Paul & Mary ‘s music more and more because it hold that sounding relevance once again today and every year since their songs were sing the first time. Missing Mary’s beautiful voice.
Many moons ago when my daughter was 4 we took her to a PP&M concert and sat close to the front. At her age she didn't know audience etiquette and made a noise at an inappropriate time. Mary walked across the stage to be in front of her and talked to her so sweetly saying how glad she was that she was there. I think they started in small coffee shops in Greenwich Village, NYC where they were 6 feet from the audience. They never forgot how to connect. Even in a large renue it felt more like being in a living room with friends singing to you. Magical.
These three had a sound from heaven! They each were blessed with unbelievable voices! But they're beauty was as a trio of magnificent folkers. God they had an unforgettable sound!!
I always cherished these three. I saw them half-a-dozen times over the years, talked to them, joked with them and confessed (as l’m sure many others did) that l learned to sing in public and play guitar to cover their songs. I deeply respected the work they put into their art, as well as the activism and compassion their music engendered in all of us who listened. Blessings!
Sadly I never saw a concert, never mind talking to them. But like you I learned how to play guitar (especially fingerpick) by listening to their albums over and over. I was a typical high school coffee house singer (so to speak) during this era. Shout out to many others, e.g., James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan, CSN, etc.
Individual voices that blend and harmonize so beautifully together as one, is not by Sheer chance.....but rather by Divine Providence! I have loved PP&M since my college days. First Concert was in 1969....at San Diego State University...Blessed to hear many of their concerts as the years have flown by. They are truly a voice for today's youth as they were the movements of the Sixties.❣️
Peter Paul and Mary were special artists who helped guide a generation through uncertainty. Giving guided hope shared through music with a guitar and song.

I saw them multiple times with my mother and father, who also loved them. One time in SF, we waited to get autographs after their concert (they always came out to give autographs to those who waited). The thrill of my lifetime, as a 10-year old, is when Mary said to my mother: "Don't I know you?" I still feel I am in that moment.

This is absolutely brilliant. Voices, guitar playing and harmonies cannot be bettered. How I wish their music could be rediscovered. What a treat it would be for everyone. RIP Mary xx
Nothing like three perfect parts coordinating - baritone, tenor, and alto dancing. The sweetest harmonies, similar in power to CSNY and Sly and the Family Stone. Built on the foundations of the Kingston Trio and the Weavers and The Everly Brothers.
The last time I saw them, Mary had to remain seated, but her voice was as rich and powerful as ever. Great concert! Thank you P P & M for a lot of great music.
I thank my cowboy poet friend who opened my world to Peter,Paul,and mary. I am so struck by the emotion that is palpable every time I see these three. Particularly Mary. So much passion in each lyric. Down right haunting.
I was a little girl in 1973 when my mom played them for the first time for me I remember singing along with them and asking what the words meant and she shared with me knowledge of things I wouldn't full comprehend until I was about 10 and I saw the Berlin Wall come down and I would say to mom to play If I had a hammer It meant so much to me Here I am at age 53 and I still listen and sing along to a better time in my life when things meant more sense
I love these folks so much. Such power from two guitars and three voices (and Dock Kniss on bass.). Brings back memories, and tears to my eyes. Thank you PPM.
Mary Travers - what a presence. And a voice you know from a mile away. The whole group was all soul. Hate to be an old toad but man, what’s happened to popular music?
They are my all time greatest group ❤️ and I am 73 years old. I wish I could have gone to one of their concerts but I never had the opportunity to. I have been listening to their music 🎶 since I was a teenager. Thank goodness for their albums and videos, they will live in our hearts 💕 forever.
Oh how their music touches one’s heart❤️. Listening to their music takes me for a walk down memory lane to a time in my youth (oh so many years ago) when I would sit and listen to their music at places like San Joseph Bay on norther Vancouver Island from my tape recorder. To this day their wedding song is a favourite and it was the first song that we danced to as a newly married couple. Oh so many memories are tied to their music, May their music live on❤️
I've been blessed for seeing PP&M three times, all were magical. The tight harmonies, the blending of voices, the nice guitar work is all amazing. Over it all, they truly believe from the heart, the songs. It shows.
The one time I was going to get to see them live back in the late 80s Mary had to cancel being in the concert I think and just the guys performed. I don't remember if we weren't able to go or if we just did not go because of knowing the info ahead of time she would not be there. Wish I could have seen them live in the 80s some other time. At least we have this and their 25th anniversary special and other concerts to remember them by on video. This one I saw in the United States on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel back in 1980 when I was 9. It was what made me a fan of their music.
Now in 2020 -- (me mid-70's) -- videos like this remind me there was a time when young people could enjoy a life far more harmonious than what we have now. -- Sad to think this era in America is gone and not ever repeat. -- Of course, none of us realized how blessed we were at the time.
How true of their first song" The times they are a changing".. Bad enough with Covid, and now even worst are the riots going on. Please give me back the sixties.
I’m not giving up on America. Too many have died fighting for this land. I refuse to just roll over and let them take it. America has gone through many a painful time. We WILL sing America the Beautiful again. We will have to fight for it once again.
I have a feeling this concert took place at my alma mater McMaster University in Hamilton. In my time, Ian and Sylvia enchanted us. This trio has always had a certain kind of magic and dug down deep into my spirit where they still hold sway. Their songs are with me wherever I am. Love from Cape Town South Africa
@Carol Coombe Their harmonies have mesmerised me for 40+ years! Good to know how widespread their magic is. Greetings from Pinelands, Cape Town. PS - Ian and Sylvia were AMAZING, too, in their time together. 'Four Winds'. Sigh.
Ian and Sylvia were such a great model and musical inspiration to so many musicians and groups. PP&M, Gordon Lightfoot and endless others. So glad you remember them. Thanks!
welp, first time for everything. first time i watched a live performance of any artist/group and cried... more than once. what a prolifically beautiful phenomena these 3 were. So glad to have remotely shared in this moment even after all this time. Thanks to technology, being born long after such timeless art was created, and performed much more annually, I can still look back along with the rest of the world of media with such wonder and euphoria and appreciate this wonderful music. A dear thank you to Peter, Paul, and Mary for touching my heart.
I was very lucky because my aunt was their accountant and I always got albums before they were released and free tickets with backstage passes, etc. Peter would stay for about an hour after the concert and sing with us.
Nothing like three perfect parts coordinating - baritone, tenor, and alto dancing. The sweetest harmonies, similar in power to CSNY and Sly and the Family Stone. Built on the foundations of the Kingston Trio and the Weavers and The Everly Brothers and those touring family harmony troupes of the time. The ‘78-ish huge Central Park performance changed my life. My teenage brain. Much love back to them.
I Have adored them for sixty some years . I first heard them when I was visiting my sister at William Woods college in Fulton, MO. Her suite mate had their first album, Peter, Paul and Mary, in 1962. I went nuts for them as I had already become a folk singing guitar player. The minute I got back home to KC, MO, I bought the album. I was a freshman in high school. I am now 76 and I am unable to play guitar anymore, but I love them every bit as much as when I was 12 . That is at 64 years of love for them, their😢 music and😮most importantly, their message!😂❤&😊 ❤ RIP DEAR MARY! 😢
Rosa Mannen, they could add all the subtitles they want to, and in any language..... nothing could detract from this beautiful PP&M concert. Thank You so much for sharing !!! And Mary Travers, you will live forever with your songs and with your beauty !!! WOW !!!
@@davidanthonystone5165 The first time I saw them was at the 1964 World's Fair in NY and I fell in love with Mary. I was only 13 at the time and wanted to ask her out on a date but I knew she'd probably say "No".
So amazing to see this concert. i was 24 then. Peter Paul and Mary moved mountains then and still do on both sides of the border and throughout the world. Kristen MacLean January 2020 Ottawa Ontario
Oh me too. I just listen to them again for the first time in a long time. I am the same age now 72 when Mary died. I didn't even know that until just now listening to all their music, and reading about her death. I would have to say I love all the songs and they all make me cry but my all-time favorite is Blowin in the Wind I can't even get by the first verse just like you
Holy Christ! The trio was spot on. Mary was as beautiful as ever and the two guys were in full throat. This is one of their best performances. Let's not let the dream die.
I'm a history teacher. My students do. A couple of years ago, one of my students came in the day after I had played some folk music during a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement. She had gone home and told her dad about it. He pulled out some old folk records and played them for her. She said that they had a great evening listening and talking.
@@cmilne5160 Thank you! That was very kind of you. We're about the same age and one of the reasons I teach this way is because I hated history in high school and wanted to do it differently. One of my fellow teachers and I wanted to design an elective history course using music as the guide. We still haven't done it but I know of a couple of high schools that have courses like this.
Tack, min svenska vän, för att du sätter detta på nätet för så många av oss att njuta av. Var försiktig och håll dig frisk. Detta är farliga tider för oss alla. Fred och välsignelser till dig.
They remind me of my happy high school days. Their voices blend very beautifully to sing the themes of their time. Thanks for this selection of folk songs
I grew up in the '90s watching PPM concerts on PBS. I only ever saw Mary when she was older, and she was gorgeous then. Now that I'm seeing early performances, and I'm wowed by her younger self. My only regret is I never got the chance to see PPM live before she passed.
They were the group I grew up and treasured. My daughter ,25 younger grew up with this and other R&B as well as blues and opera. She loved them all but always gravitated back to them and other folk singers of that time. Music is all we need to cover the gaps in life.
I am 76 years of age and Peter, Paul and Mary were the first band I had as favorites. I just love them. I did adopt the Seekers when they came into being. Thank you Peter, Paul and Mary for starting me on a great trip of your music.
So glad I can see these! I was really little when they started, but grew up living Puff, the Magic Dragon, and some if their other songs. Love this trio, forever. Their music lives on.
Boy Rosa, you are not kidding. This is a great rendition of a PP & M performance. The subtitles are a little annoying but the quality of audio and video are excellent for 1980 (the year my second son was born and is now 40). Back then the resolution would have been 720p or even 480p which wasn't great. This performance is one of their best. They seem relaxed. I love all the closeup shots...they were in their prime and as Dylan might say, they knew their songs well before they started singing, They were so attractive at this point in their lives (not meant to be in comparison to any other times). Good for them that they found the right combination of personas and talent back in '61. You look at the folks in the audience and like most of PP & M's performances you see that they were enthralled and familiar with the songs. A standing ovation for Blowing In The Wind. I have to wonder how with all that promise of a gentler world and peace, love and such, that our world reversed its evolutionary path towards being more enlightened and informed and instead has shifted into anger, resentment, fear and dissatisfaction. Oh, and don't forget delusion. The last time our country (US) was this bad, was in the mid to late sixties and these guys were actively participating in the civil rights movement and in the protests against the war in Vietnam, and there were these assassinations. Those were terrible times and they sang a song about it: Wasn't that a time" One verse sticks in my mind: The wars are long, the peace is frail, the madmen come again. There is no freedom in a land where fear and hate prevail. Isn't this a time, isn't this a time? A time to try the soul of men, Isn't this a terrible time? How crappy that we have to go through these cycles of growth and decline. Hoping for the best come November.
You made me look up that song, which I had never heard of... It's in my playlist now! Creepy how VERY applicable it is once again! One can only hope the cycles will get quicker and keep rising stubbornly higher - it's harder to tell when you're in one. Pray...
@@LLewis-vu9qfThe sixties were bad times in a lot of ways, comparable to nowadays. I say what happened in the sixties is relevant speaking as an optimist because we got thru all that but now these are bad times, right up to today. I have no idea who might read this reply but Biden is President Elect and Warnock and Ossoff are down in Georgia, GEORGIA of all places, running for the Senate and if they both win after the sixth, McConnell will be out of power and I want to believe that will be the start of better times. PP and M covered a song entitled Carry On Sweet Survivor about all the folks who had hope and faith in the possibility of better times. Just thought I would mention that.
@@murderhill1947 I have 2 versions of that - one with just Peter on guitar with his daughter Bethany, and also the one off the album. Very touching in different ways. Oh, but have you heard "Greenwood"? It affects me much the same way as "Wasn't That a Time". Neck-hair raising. Sometimes you feel like they're shouting into the wind and those in power are deaf to hear the prophets... at what cost I guess we'll find out. I'm hoping we can avert the bad times, but there are a lot of frustrated people in pain right now, and they want to blame that on someone.
@@kristineweber8084 The title Greenwood is taken from a biblical quotation: Luke 23:31. If you didn't know that, Google "if they do these things in the green wood, what will happen in the dry. Green wood doesn't catch fire so easily as dry wood. Think about the fires on the west coast or in Turkey or Australia... Just to be clear, I am an atheist who still resonates well with the guy we know as Jesus.
PPM in addition to being great musicians and singers expressed such happiness , joy and hope . I used to play their songs on my guitar and it brought me such joy . I am 78 y/o now and it’s 2024 . Beam me back Scotty ! Their guitar playing was orchestral . Will miss Mary forever !
This concert holds a special place in my heart.By chance I arrived in Hamilton in 1980 and spent 36 years there. I attended many concerts at this venue 'Hamilton Place' but missed out on this gem 💎 😍 wonderful memories ❤.
Wonderful,I taped this concert on Betamax circa 1981 from Irish TV.Still have it somewhere, copied audio to cassette and had it in the car for years. I saw them in similar concert at Oakland California in the Autumn of 1981.We had seats in the orchestra pit. Paul was on crutches.Got some great photos.
Gosh, thank you for finding this video. I have been a collector of their album and used to sing their songs with my used to be girlfriend. Memories are made of these. Cheers!
Puff The Magic Dragon took me back over 60 years. There is no part of my life when I did NOT know that song, and I always sing along. Now, I'm singing it to my grandchildren. Music- a special gift of life that speaks louder than words.

I can't help but notice how well the audience is dressed. The years have flown but the music is timeless.Rest in peace Mary.
Those were the days when singers sang instead of yelling. So wonderful they were! Always will be!
So nostalgic, idolized them, remember every word. Now 73yrs old. Brings me to tears. The world had so much promise then and they sang about it. We unfortunately gone backwards
Yes
I am privileged to have seen this timeless trio from their beginning in NY from Carnegie Hall to Civil Rights and Peace Rallies. As Fine Wine.
I second all the other praises. I was lucky enough to have seen them a few times. Just an awesome experience! Mary, RIP, is among the most beautiful voices ever! Peter and Paul are awesome too.

I saw them from their beginning 6O years ago as an 11 year old. For 45 years until Mary’s passing

@@arthurdahlin1427 No she wasn’t. She was quite different than that, actually.
Love this comment!
The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Could be because the parts were so good!
These three had a sound from heaven!
They each were blessed with unbelievable voices! But they're beauty
was as a trio of magnificent folkers.
God they had an unforgettable sound!!
Yes, superbly good. An audience,s response such as this is rare to see.
They always made me feel safe, that there was hope for our tumultuous world. Listening in2023 makes me still feel that Hope. Special talented people.
Oh how I miss the wonderful music of yesteryear

No other group had as awesome a guitar duo as did Peter & Paul - two distinctly different styes that fit together so well.

Amen!!!
Each had a beautiful voice! Such angelic and heartwarming sounds!
They were one of the greatest groups
in music history! Lovable three!!
Nothing like three perfect parts coordinating - baritone, tenor, and alto dancing. The sweetest harmonies, similar in power to CSNY and Sly and the Family Stone. Built on the foundations of the Kingston Trio and the Weavers and The Everly Brothers.
The last time I saw them, Mary had to remain seated, but her voice was as rich and powerful as ever. Great concert! Thank you P P & M for a lot of great music.
Man!!! They had true chemistry. They sang like their lives depended on it. Yea!!!
In any setting or venue. From concert halls to peace rallies. True Troubadours
I thank my cowboy poet friend who opened my world to Peter,Paul,and mary. I am so struck by the emotion that is palpable every time I see these three. Particularly Mary. So much passion in each lyric. Down right haunting.
I was a little girl in 1973 when my mom played them for the first time for me
I remember singing along with them and asking what the words meant and she shared with me knowledge of things I wouldn't full comprehend until I was about 10 and I saw the Berlin Wall come down and I would say to mom to play If I had a hammer
It meant so much to me
Here I am at age 53 and I still listen and sing along to a better time in my life when things meant more sense
My heart melted whenever I hear them sang specially mary, I'm literally in tears right now, I miss mary, what a legend!
Thanks for the video recapturing the best of memory as a teenager. God bless you all
Amen and God bless you
This music for Life. .
There is a clarity, purity and simplicity that makes this so refreshing compared to today’s music.
These three were, and are, still great! No one could sing these great songs as well as they did!
Indeed. I saw them from
Their beginning. ❤️
Me imagino el Cielo sólo oyendolos.
Classic! Thank you, Mary for the music! Thank you for sharing your powerful golden voice and inspiring a whole generation!
Their music will last a lifetime thank you Peter Paul and Mary ❤️
I love these folks so much. Such power from two guitars and three voices (and Dock Kniss on bass.). Brings back memories, and tears to my eyes. Thank you PPM.

How true of their first song" The times they are a changing".. Bad enough with Covid, and now even worst are the riots going on. Please give me back the sixties.
We need their music now in 2020, more than ever. History repeats.
I’m not giving up on America. Too many have died fighting for this land. I refuse to just roll over and let them take it. America has gone through many a painful time. We WILL sing America the Beautiful again. We will have to fight for it once again.
Ellen Obroc, in the end, we are a lot tougher than some people think. We will survive, despite the craziness going one right now.
I was so lucky to see them in the 70's!! And the Kingston Trio!!
I have a feeling this concert took place at my alma mater McMaster University in Hamilton. In my time, Ian and Sylvia enchanted us. This trio has always had a certain kind of magic and dug down deep into my spirit where they still hold sway. Their songs are with me wherever I am. Love from Cape Town South Africa
@Carol Coombe
Their harmonies have mesmerised me for 40+ years! Good to know how widespread their magic is.
Greetings from Pinelands, Cape Town.
PS - Ian and Sylvia were AMAZING, too, in their time together. 'Four Winds'. Sigh.
Ian and Sylvia were such a great model and musical inspiration to so many musicians and groups. PP&M, Gordon Lightfoot and endless others. So glad you remember them. Thanks!
welp, first time for everything. first time i watched a live performance of any artist/group and cried... more than once. what a prolifically beautiful phenomena these 3 were. So glad to have remotely shared in this moment even after all this time. Thanks to technology, being born long after such timeless art was created, and performed much more annually, I can still look back along with the rest of the world of media with such wonder and euphoria and appreciate this wonderful music. A dear thank you to Peter, Paul, and Mary for touching my heart.
I get chills and tears when I listen to them. They are ageless.
I was very lucky because my aunt was their accountant and I always got albums before they were released and free tickets with backstage passes, etc. Peter would stay for about an hour after the concert and sing with us.
You were very lucky and I am glad for you. It was a special time, were all very lucky.
Thank you...I was actually there at Hamilton Place with my mother & father ... 40 years wow.
Nothing like three perfect parts coordinating - baritone, tenor, and alto dancing. The sweetest harmonies, similar in power to CSNY and Sly and the Family Stone. Built on the foundations of the Kingston Trio and the Weavers and The Everly Brothers and those touring family harmony troupes of the time.
The ‘78-ish huge Central Park performance changed my life. My teenage brain.
Much love back to them.
I Have adored them for sixty some years . I first heard them when I was visiting my sister at William Woods college in Fulton, MO. Her suite mate had their first album, Peter, Paul and Mary, in 1962. I went nuts for them as I had already become a folk singing guitar player. The minute I got back home to KC, MO, I bought the album. I was a freshman in high school. I am now 76 and I am unable to play guitar anymore, but I love them every bit as much as when I was 12 . That is at 64 years of love for them, their😢 music and😮most importantly, their message!😂❤&😊 ❤ RIP DEAR MARY! 😢
Rosa Mannen, they could add all the subtitles they want to, and in any language..... nothing could detract from this beautiful PP&M concert.
Thank You so much for sharing !!! And Mary Travers, you will live forever with your songs and with your beauty !!! WOW !!!
Mary has such a powerful voice.
I always liked how Mary sang with her whole being.
She did!
She and the guys. Indeed. I saw them from their beginning
@@davidanthonystone5165 The first time I saw them was at the 1964 World's Fair in NY and I fell in love with Mary. I was only 13 at the time and wanted to ask her out on a date but I knew she'd probably say "No".
She always sang like Ronnie to my mind a strong female voice and demeanor. Rip both Mary and Ronnie.
The same way she lived. Both feet in the arena.My children and grandchildren still listen to PP&M. Such lasting, meaningful memories. 🌹
Another outstanding performance from Peter Paul and Mary - Thank you for posting this for all to enjoy!
here, august 2020....for the times, they are a changing.
Always. Thank the stars for their harmony. Never to go out of style
Let's change them back.
@@davidanthonystone5165 They sure are
I grew up listening to Peterpaul and Mary they were great folk singers that when music was songs meant something
Sounds of one's youth. Long time past!
My youth. Which is long gone. Except… this music makes me feel 20 again!
I love Peter,Paul,and Mary and their music.
Que bien lo hacían
This reminds me of my brother and dear Mother who passed on so many years ago. I know every time I hear it, I tear up. Love PPM they touch the spot
So amazing to see this concert. i was 24 then. Peter Paul and Mary moved mountains then and still do on both sides of the border and throughout the world. Kristen MacLean January 2020 Ottawa Ontario
Mary Travers was the real deal and a bona fide rock star.
Yep, and kind of pretty to boot!
Sure was!
Absolutely unforgettable.
NO TEETH AND SIZE 14 FEET
@@nitropost Kind of? She was an absolute dreamboat..
NO, She was not a bonafide rock star. She's is and will always be bonafide FOLK STAR!!!
One verse into Puff the Magic Dragon and I'm literally in tears for nostalgia and my youth.
Oh me too. I just listen to them again for the first time in a long time. I am the same age now 72 when Mary died. I didn't even know that until just now listening to all their music, and reading about her death. I would have to say I love all the songs and they all make me cry but my all-time favorite is Blowin in the Wind I can't even get by the first verse just like you
damn melleneral , get back to yoga and zoom
same
I know! It chokes me up, every time. Timeless music from a wonderful trio!
Holy Christ! The trio was spot on. Mary was as beautiful as ever and the two guys were in full throat. This is one of their best performances. Let's not let the dream die.
beautiful ! Mary looks like a man in drag .. If I didn't know what that meant I would have mistaken Mary for a Woman
@@sunnyinwaikiki9904Rse whole.
Folk music at it's best.
A time when music performers actually cared about something besides fame . Good bye Mary , all the best.
They were the best group of musicians I knew when I was growing up in my life. My daughter is 25 you gets than me and loves them the same.
They have a smooth blend of music that touches every heart with there songs
I have always enjoyed this group & always will!
Beautiful music for all times! I always loved their voices, the harmony, the guitar playing, their story. Thanks for posting this vid!
One of a kind. PPM forever
Unreal! So great that this was posted. Young people need to listen to the words of the songs
I'm a history teacher. My students do. A couple of years ago, one of my students came in the day after I had played some folk music during a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement. She had gone home and told her dad about it. He pulled out some old folk records and played them for her. She said that they had a great evening listening and talking.
@leec81 What a great way to leverage the "Teachable moment". I am 66, and I would have enjoyed being in your class.
@@cmilne5160 Thank you! That was very kind of you. We're about the same age and one of the reasons I teach this way is because I hated history in high school and wanted to do it differently. One of my fellow teachers and I wanted to design an elective history course using music as the guide. We still haven't done it but I know of a couple of high schools that have courses like this.
Tack, min svenska vän, för att du sätter detta på nätet för så många av oss att njuta av. Var försiktig och håll dig frisk. Detta är farliga tider för oss alla. Fred och välsignelser till dig.
hej Daniel. vad rolig att du gillar videon. ha en ljuvlig dag. med vänlig hälsning Rosa Mannen.
2021, I heard first their song ikn mid"s 60"s,now in my mid 60"s,and still their rings a bell.
Beyond words - I am speechless...
They remind me of my happy high school days. Their voices blend very beautifully to sing the themes of their time. Thanks for this selection of folk songs
Era of component wat a beautiful voice ,music n harmony. the music of my youth..love it
What a fabulous concert, beautifully filmed too...I would have loved to have been there.
Thanks for posting. What a great walk down memory lane.
Mary was 48 years old in this concert. How lovely she was, always.
I grew up in the '90s watching PPM concerts on PBS. I only ever saw Mary when she was older, and she was gorgeous then. Now that I'm seeing early performances, and I'm wowed by her younger self. My only regret is I never got the chance to see PPM live before she passed.
She was about 44 years old at this concert! Born in 1936!
Met Mary and the Guys in their beginning
That Mary was so cool and never had to try to be. Real hip and intelligent and really gorgeous within and out
Her beautiful skin and shiny ✨ hair!
Beautiful, wonderful! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
You'rr welcome :)
They weave a tapestry of versatile songs
There voices work together like trapeze artist.
Just beautiful as always!
I say these singers were great and still for their songs still are of value
They were the group I grew up and treasured. My daughter ,25 younger grew up with this and other R&B as well as blues and opera. She loved them all but always gravitated back to them and other folk singers of that time. Music is all we need to cover the gaps in life.
I am 76 years of age and Peter, Paul and Mary were the first band I had as favorites. I just love them. I did adopt the Seekers when they came into being. Thank you Peter, Paul and Mary for starting me on a great trip of your music.
Thank you for posting this. Timeless sound. Meaningful lyrics. Somewhat a hopeful voices through such turbulent times.
amazing ,,how beautiful is Mary
Just a radiant Person that Mary and with the guys. I saw them from their beginning
Why did you have to die. Music is not the same without you. Thanks for your talents. They make me really enjoy your voices. Thanks
Music speaks louder than words. This group is all that, a cup of tea and a taco. ❤
So glad I can see these! I was really little when they started, but grew up living Puff, the Magic Dragon, and some if their other songs. Love this trio, forever. Their music lives on.
Boy Rosa, you are not kidding. This is a great rendition of a PP & M performance. The subtitles are a little annoying but the quality of audio and video are excellent for 1980 (the year my second son was born and is now 40). Back then the resolution would have been 720p or even 480p which wasn't great. This performance is one of their best. They seem relaxed. I love all the closeup shots...they were in their prime and as Dylan might say, they knew their songs well before they started singing, They were so attractive at this point in their lives (not meant to be in comparison to any other times). Good for them that they found the right combination of personas and talent back in '61.
You look at the folks in the audience and like most of PP & M's performances you see that they were enthralled and familiar with the songs. A standing ovation for Blowing In The Wind. I have to wonder how with all that promise of a gentler world and peace, love and such, that our world reversed its evolutionary path towards being more enlightened and informed and instead has shifted into anger, resentment, fear and dissatisfaction. Oh, and don't forget delusion.
The last time our country (US) was this bad, was in the mid to late sixties and these guys were actively participating in the civil rights movement and in the protests against the war in Vietnam, and there were these assassinations. Those were terrible times and they sang a song about it: Wasn't that a time"
One verse sticks in my mind:
The wars are long, the peace is frail, the madmen come again.
There is no freedom in a land where fear and hate prevail.
Isn't this a time, isn't this a time?
A time to try the soul of men,
Isn't this a terrible time?
How crappy that we have to go through these cycles of growth and decline. Hoping for the best come November.
You made me look up that song, which I had never heard of... It's in my playlist now! Creepy how VERY applicable it is once again! One can only hope the cycles will get quicker and keep rising stubbornly higher - it's harder to tell when you're in one. Pray...
Their song 'Wasn't That A Time' is one of my favorites of theirs. And yes, creepy is a good description of how relevant that song is today.
@@LLewis-vu9qfThe sixties were bad times in a lot of ways, comparable to nowadays. I say what happened in the sixties is relevant speaking as an optimist because we got thru all that but now these are bad times, right up to today.
I have no idea who might read this reply but Biden is President Elect and Warnock and Ossoff are down in Georgia, GEORGIA of all places, running for the Senate and if they both win after the sixth, McConnell will be out of power and I want to believe that will be the start of better times.
PP and M covered a song entitled Carry On Sweet Survivor about all the folks who had hope and faith in the possibility of better times. Just thought I would mention that.
@@murderhill1947 I have 2 versions of that - one with just Peter on guitar with his daughter Bethany, and also the one off the album. Very touching in different ways. Oh, but have you heard "Greenwood"? It affects me much the same way as "Wasn't That a Time". Neck-hair raising. Sometimes you feel like they're shouting into the wind and those in power are deaf to hear the prophets... at what cost I guess we'll find out. I'm hoping we can avert the bad times, but there are a lot of frustrated people in pain right now, and they want to blame that on someone.
@@kristineweber8084 The title Greenwood is taken from a biblical quotation: Luke 23:31. If you didn't know that, Google "if they do these things in the green wood, what will happen in the dry.
Green wood doesn't catch fire so easily as dry wood. Think about the fires on the west coast or in Turkey or Australia...
Just to be clear, I am an atheist who still resonates well with the guy we know as Jesus.
I listen,I learn, I cry.Thank you.
gotta give props to the sound engineer who made the bass sound so good. it's rich sounding and not buried in the mix
PPM in addition to being great musicians and singers expressed such happiness , joy and hope . I used to play their songs on my guitar and it brought me such joy . I am 78 y/o now and it’s 2024 . Beam me back Scotty !
Their guitar playing was orchestral . Will miss Mary forever !
We miss Mary Travers very much she was heart soul to many of the Gael and remains among us
Anyone in 2024? ✋
Hello from Melbourne Australia.
I'm 66 years old .
We will never have the Same Music and Talent again.
This concert holds a special place in my heart.By chance I arrived in Hamilton in 1980 and spent 36 years there. I attended many concerts at this venue 'Hamilton Place' but missed out on this gem 💎 😍 wonderful memories ❤.
Yes !! Hooked to PPM in the middle of a marriage turmoil. What relief does their music give.
Always. Timeless. ❤
I am 77 grew up listening to them on the radio the tapes and discs still sounds great
Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it so much.
fantastic ! exactly what I needed to hear today, to celebrate a brand new year .. absolutely glorious !
Wonderful,I taped this concert on Betamax circa 1981 from Irish TV.Still have it somewhere, copied audio to cassette and had it in the car for years. I saw them in similar concert at Oakland California in the Autumn of 1981.We had seats in the orchestra pit. Paul was on crutches.Got some great photos.
Lucky you. What memories you must have.
Gosh, thank you for finding this video. I have been a collector of their album and used to sing their songs with my used to be girlfriend. Memories are made of these. Cheers!
You're welcome. I'm really happy that this video seems to make people happy :)
Puff The Magic Dragon took me back over 60 years. There is no part of my life when I did NOT know that song, and I always sing along. Now, I'm singing it to my grandchildren. Music- a special gift of life that speaks louder than words.
Wonderful, I've always been a fan. I love Mary's energy. Awesome!
