Welcome! These clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital many from the 70's, 80's and 90's. SADLY, I DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL AIR DATES! There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

Without going into great detail, Mary Travers was the kindest, sweetest woman I ever met. We co hosted an oldies concert together in Connecticut, 1982. In a sea of bands from the '60s ready to perform, Mary was still pop music royalty, and she made me feel like I was the star, not her. I was a simple morning radio personality of marginal standing. Such generosity is likely a thing of the past, and 40 years later when I share that story with friends its hard not to tear up recalling the gift she gave me. Just such a wonderful spirit and an incredible talent.

[@arpricity231]

Such generosity is a thing of the past only if we decide not to carry on the gift.

[@ffivguy1990]

Cool! Is there any footage and/or photos from that concert?

Not to take a thing away from her talent, I found just the opposite to be true.- in my personal experience over some length of time. Again, in my opinion

[@saleenapiano]

amen! i totally agree! glad to know there are kindred spirits around 👋

[@james-pierre7634]

The messages these three people sang repeatedly throughout their careers has fallen on deaf ears then and now in 2024. Their brilliant voices are not acceptable in times of violence and war. A state which America has consistently followed…violence and war throughout its existence. Their message is universal but not heard. It is gone as if blown away by the wind. The comatose people in the audience will go home unaware of what their country is doing to deny peace and harmony for others around the world.

[@ronaldhansen2378]

I listen Peter toPaul and Mary Travers back in grade school back in the 1970's. That's how I Wanted to play guitar and sing. Mary Travers had a nice voice it was like an angel I like the song if I had a Hammer . If I had a Hammer I sing in the morning I singing in the evening all over the stand I hang around danger I am around Justice I have her I love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land if I had a bad I ringing in the morning all over this land I ring out danger I ring out warning I ring I love between my brothers and my sisters over this man it's a hammer of Justice it's the Bell of freedom is a song of my brothers and sisters all over this land. Rest in peace Mary Travers we miss you. And there's still a lot of Injustice in this world. Answer my friend is blowing in the wind.

[@saleenapiano]

Back in the 60's & 70's, on my stereo, I turned them over to one speaker and sang the other parts. I also accompanied myself on guitar and sang their songs solo

Nobody writes music or performs like this today. I am lucky to have lived at this time and I feel for the younger generation who think they are getting music. Modern music is a poor reflection of these talents.

Noel and Peter both have great voices, but Mary’s made the trio. They knew it and how to best highlight it.

[@johne6081]

I think it is their unique harmony that made the sound for which they were famous. They took advantage of the overlap between Peter's high tenor and Mary's low contralto vocal ranges. RIP, Mary, and thank you for great musical memories, including a live concert at the Santa Monica Civic auditorium.

[@james-pierre7634]

Yes indeed these were commercial favorites approved by the masses. However, you along with most Americans failed to understand their true messages of peace and social justice. There were many more brilliant songs that expressed their true selfs such as: “Where Have All the Flowers Gone, Blow’n in the Wind, Don’t Ever Take Away My Freedom, El Salvador, Conscientious Objector” and many others. Their messages of protest that questioned a policy of foreign intervention that brought only violence and war was not tolerated or acceptable then and even now in 2024. Their beautiful voices and words have been blow’n in the wind.

[@james-pierre7634]

America is approaching death indeed if it continues on the current path it has taken.

[@dniemi150]

My aunt was their personal assistant/accountant so I always got free tickets and backstage passes. We also got albums before they were in the stores. Peter was very kind and would sing with us, etc.

[@stevemann3080]

Why do i have a lump in my throat 😎🙏

[@redredmane5544]

Paul always had this heavenly warm voice. In his older years his voice thinned out somewhat, but he still had that beautiful voice. And for a man with a baritone voice to be able to reach such incredibly high notes is testimony to the fact that he had phenomenal agility. Now that he's in his 90s, the fact that he can STILL sing quite well is amazing. Peter ( sadly ) can barely talk. His voice thinned out so much. Mary's voice was still fairly good here. But the years were unkind to her voice, as well. Paul's voice, however, has STILL stood the test of time!!!

[@edwardcaulfield67]

I think you are making him a bit older than he is, actually he is in hos 80s, nice comment though.

I saw them many times...I felt young until Mary passed, now I'm 65..

[@johne6081]

I saw them in concert in Santa Monica CA circa 1970. Delightful, even though we were sitting in the "starving UCLA students" part of the balcony. :)

[@williamheyman5439]

I was an army captain in the 1960s. And somehow wound up looking at places for possible army employment. This was before "The March," and I saw Selma and Tuscaloosa not even knowing. For some reason I wound up in Atlanta and they were there so I got a ticket and saw the show. They were great, but, to be honest, if you have a good DVD of their concerts, the sound is probably better. They did sing all their "freedom" songs, but Atlanta is more cosmopolitan than the rural areas, so it went over as well as could be expected. This was the early days of Vietnam and the early days of the civil rights movement, so kind of quiet. The later years of the 60s were when all hell broke loose. TIME magazine even had a special issue called simply, "1968." I was in Vietnam. When I got back the US was completely different.

[@tjdomerny4847]

Have always loved PPM, but Mary Travers was the special one.

Matt, what a shame....you missed a truly magical experience that I was lucky to have many times.

They energized you to be part of all of it for everyone's benefit. I met Mary a few times, and incredibly sweet lady, and I've been to Peter's home in NYC.......wonderful wonderful people. Thank GOD! these youtube videos and the DVD's and albums they made are out there for young people to see and hear!

[@stephaniewalker9795]

Well, I remember I was in the 6th grade when this originally aired, and since the orchestra played "Return of the Jedi" songs before PP&M came on stage and that movie came out in 1983, I'm going to say this was probably end of 1983 or spring of 1984...

@@creatinotionchannel2680 Peter Yarrow wrote and first performed it on his self-titled debut solo album Peter in 1972. So he likely directed Paul and Mary on how to perform it before the trio's album No Easy Walk To Freedom was released in 1986.
