PETER, PAUL AND MARY 1965

[@mcwmcw6501]

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.

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.

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.

[@deniswauchope3788]

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.

Beautifull, heartwarming vocal harmonies.

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.

[@aramayalon730]

I normally don't read comments on KZbin music but this time I got carried away reading all the comments on PP&M 1965 concert performance. The comments are full of nostalgia, love, and admiration especially from those in their 70s (like me) and 80s but also from the younger ones. I grew up on PP&M in... Israel. My parents brought with them from the US and Canada PP&M records together with Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, the Mamas and the Papas, and more. This music was America for me but when I arrived here in the early 80s I couldn't find it anymore. With the elections of Trump, we need to go back to Peter Paul and Mary's music which teaches us civility, humanity, and compassion.

[@johndewitt54]

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.

[@JamesWilliams-cx7qk]

Peter, Paul, and Mary and the Beatles represent the best the 1960s had to offer. This is a great performance!

[@mwj5368]

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.

With the crystal clear voice she had, that was more than enough to satisfy anyone, male or female.

[@baxtercol]

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.

[@ITISNOTTHESAME]

it is in a movie with Clint Eastwood that really left an impression on my memory

[@proservice117]

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. 😊

[@MFG333]

This brings back memories of beat generation poetry and prose, coffee houses and folk protest songs. It was a good era.

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

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.

[@justinsomsel1162]

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.

[@maurymchugh6403]

Could listen to each always

[@Mightiflier]

@@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.

[@jamespawlowski4310]

AWESOME,,, always liked them,,, reminds me of the GREAT years of yesterday.

[@tonib.3016]

The beauty...the harmony of this trio will never be matched. ❤❤❤

[@tonib.3016]

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

[@TheDarkDutchman]

This is the real deal.... No special effects, no auto tune, etc..... pure talent. 👌🙏🏻

[@greendeane1]

Can't imaging an audience today looking that good and behaving so well.

[@mutualbeard]

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.

[@allanbriggs9007]

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.

[@dianehghzn7670]

Their songs have more meaning now then they ever did are we so blind and deaf 🧏‍♀️ still or its just that we dont want to move out of our comfort zone and pretend its so far away on the other side of the world untill unfortunately theres a 9/11 or a 7 october 2023 what is going to move us out of our security zone I wonder ???

[@nickandmikec]

It was great being alive then and young. How we loved this trio. Mary was so much fun to watch, the way she shook her hair around. It was a time!

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

Singing along to “Puff” and “Blowing In The Wind” brought tears to my eyes.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

Me too -- always with Puff, but I was surprised to tear up with Blowin' in the Wind -- I think it must be the association with youth, and the fact that we all CARED so much. The Vietnam War was raging around us and young artists were stepping up along with some of the braver (and vulnerable) politicians to say STOP IT.

[@trollonwiggins]

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.

[@eskay4551]

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…

[@MacMintyLusby]

Me too.

[@Smannellites]

This is a super live performance which I had not heard before. I had forgotten just how good they were.

[@j.b.9581]

I will never, no not ever forget the greatness, the sweet harmonies of Peter, Paul, and Mary!!!!!

[@MrPuffer48]

I don't care about other people's taste in music. But my taste is variable and peter Paul and Mary were a really good trio when I was growing up and I still like them.

[@darlenehorsman7722]

❤❤❤❤❤I grew up with all of these songs it's nice to be able to hear them again ❤❤❤❤❤them

[@josemamado580]

From Spain: wonderful music, and they only played two guitarrs and three armonious voices. Rest in peace Peter, Paul and Mary Travers.

[@simonvoltaireanongos3397]

I always love their songs.. One is the BLOWIN IN THE WIND.. ❤

[@jvlp2046]

Those were the days when just a few guitars and a bass instrument, with good sensible lyrics and nice singing voices, will make big Hit songs...

[@alvaroescobar2648]

Casi 60 años, hoy ya en diciembre los escucho y me conmuevo como la primera vez

[@conradkappel9426]

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.

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

Saw them in Milwaukee in the summer of '76. Fog rolled in off the lake, a million dollar effect courtesy of mother nature.

[@ruthpaul7572]

Ɓeauriful sònĝ well sung.

[@gailkinney8683]

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.

[@conradkappel9426]

Agree 100%. I'm 79 years old and love their music as much as I did when I was 22. @@gailkinney8683

[@jggrimm]

three voices peeled from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, coming down to earth to sing for us.

[@chrisshar7095]

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.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Simply the BEST!!!

[@TheTookster]

What a magnificent time it was. I am 80 years old, and I look on that era as peace within myself which seems to have dissapeared in this day and age. I was born during a war and will go out with a war. Let's hope the world and its people are granted healing with a time reminiscent of the old days.

[@PeterLeeds-eg8ld]

This is my youth personified. Love them and the beautiful harmonies

[@michaelhardin470]

I weep for the innocence lost. 1965 we were beginning our decline as a great nation by continuing our involvement in a war the government knew we could never win.

[@harley5571]

Amen to that.

[@rayjudkins6456]

Amen

[@dougr.2398]

A DOUBLY RACIST war

[@dougr.2398]

Never think of it as a decline, but as a great source of change and a renewal of hope

[@dougr.2398]

Thank whatever powers be that we still can resonate with this (meaning P, P & M and their music and musicianship) and recognize it as powerful and significant

[@robertk6ha]

Beautiful music heard these early in childhood and now that I am closer to the end still brings a tear to my eyes

[@GrandmaLM]

I graduated high school 1965. Love this.

[@sharonjunge9531]

Never heard them do "The First Time" before.....achingly beautiful, and now my favorite version

[@paulinerothstein8982]

I love Peter Paul and Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've loved them since 1962!!!!!!!!!! They calm me when I was upset ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ or angry

[@tedecker3792]

In the 60s these groups toured the college circuit, we got to see many, even at our tiny school.

[@ronhall7106]

When 3 voices blend like that, it doesn't happen often.

[@lennon1252]

Yes everyone knows Peter, Paul and Mary but nobody ever mentions Richard 'Dick' Kniss who played stand-up bass for the trio for 50 years. Kniss died on January 25, 2012 at the age of 74.

[@gregkump3639]

The answer, We are still "Blowing in the Wind", surely there must still be Hope!!!!😎😉

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.

[@jmcdhome]

What can I say? Chills... and nostalgic tears

[@bobhrfarm]

She was so heartbreakingly beautiful, inside and out…I heard her sing this in person; smitten for life!

[@ABirdWoman]

The days when music was simply created from guitars and voices - not synthetically manufactured - and people sang in clothes that covered their bodies - have I grown so old? I went to the Woodstock Country School in VT and had the delight of singing along with the Seeger family, met BobDylan at the Village Voice, was mistaken for being a relative of Joan Baez… those were the days!! Let’s make “The Whole Wide World Around” be a hit again!!

[@sandrakennedy3527]

I love Peter Paul and Mary 2:54 great songs

[@marieaccard2350]

Belle harmonie, du temps où les chanteuses étaient joliement habillées et les hommes avaient de belles voix. Temps regrettés

All comments true but Mary travers was the unique voice that made group special

No tattoos, no blue hair, no dubbing machine, and something missing today, musicality.

Thanks for boring us with more boomer mythology. If you still had the strength to open your ears, you'd find there is tons of beautiful music being made today.
