Absolutely one of the finest antiwar songs of that or any era. And the two of them... damn... two very different but both very honest voices. Damn, I am crying by the end.

No kidding...I am weeping too. We desperately need an anthem like this to call forth people of conscience to stand against the current insanity in our national politics. 😥

Also just got this as the B-side to "I Dig Rock n Roll Music" which i think is the funkiest PP& M song ever! Incredible

I've heard this song forever it seems... and this rendition specifically. Still it makes my heart hurt and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Peter Yarrow for writing it, and thank you to both you and Richie for the absolute perfect presentation. <3 I may play it again because those tears hurt so beautifully.

RIP Alexei Navalny. Death has gagged his accusations. Although Peter Yarrow wrote this song about the Vietnam war, he's the child of Ukrainian immigrants.

I have always loved this song! I heard it on my sister’s Peter, Paul, and Album. I think it was Album 1700. I was only 12 and I could hear the sadness and intensity and unfairness of the lyrics. At the time I didn’t know who he was.

So here's this Jewish guy .. and here's this black guy .. and .. from way in there where actual emotions seethe and bleed .. they are seething and bleeding in song .. Peter, we exchanged words at Red Rocks .. I trust you are well, buddy .. and Richie, vehement/and calm (ying yang in action) may you rest and rouse .. wherever you are .. This .. this kind of song is not pertinent: it is essential. Notice how no songs these days speak to any of the tragedies that engulf us. It's not a damn shame .. it's a sin .. to be corrected ..

It's been a long time since I listened to this song, but I recently found myself thinking about it in the wake of recent events in Eastern Europe. It should be dedicated to Russians who are suffering incarceration or worse because of their vocal opposition to the war in Ukraine. As a teenager I loved the Album 1700 version, but this one's better.

Bless you, pal. You did the right thing. Never, ever let anyone tell you otherwise. That undeclared war was rotten to the core, and one of its chief architects,a father of the Edsel, Robert McNamara, refused to let his own son, then in college, go to Vietnam. McNamara told LBJ in 1965 the war was unwinnable--as Generals de Gaulle, MacArthur, Eisenhour had cautioned long before -- and that we should extricate ourselves. But Johnson didn't want to be the first US president to lose a war, even an undeclared one, and you know the rest, McNamara's flood of tears on Charlie Rose's program a few years before his death notwithstanding: "Charlie, when I think of all those boys....we were wrong, we were wrong." McNamara was nearly disconsolate and I'm surprised they didn't stop taping, but am glad they did not.

Richie was always a soothing voice. I remember in the late 60s even my mom, a European emigrant, appreciated when my brother or I would put on Mixed Bag. Years later I had the pleasure of having a business meeting w Richie. Mandela is a great 👍🏻 song and it reflects the voice of millions and the pain we felt is present here.

Wow the first time I've seen Richie sing without his guitar. Love this song from the Nobody Left to Crown album. It's great to get the background and to hear what it meant to him. Thanks for posting. I just subscribed.

I agree with most everyone about an original song being better than a cover. Though, I will admit when an artist with a special gift comes along and and gives their special touch to one of our beloved classics, the goose bumps, chills, and hair raising on the backs of necks tell us a practically perfect union has been achieved. I got that feeling from Disturbed cover of Sound Of Silence, and even Pink's White Rabbit, and even Heart's Tribute to Led Zeppelin's Stairway. As sacred as this song is, I hope someone, some day, an artist, be they either male or female cover this as these 2 masters have given this original!

And there, Trackie, is the supreme heartbreak. While this song, this version is musically arresting, its message, lyrics may still not have been taken to heart ten millenia hence. Not if national and global situations circa 2023 any indication.

Somehow in the 55 years since this song was released I had never heard it until now. As one who has been spared the draft - I was in the UK during Vietnam - on ANZAC day I recall those who died under fire without the option of killing - the journalists, photographers, doctors, nurses, stretcher bearers, railway personnel, merchant sailors - on all sides, in all wars.
