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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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

[@scottrose5012]

They were so magnificent together. I got to see them live at the Hollywood Bowl at the No More Nukes concert. There will never be another group like Peter, Paul and Mary, they were one-of-a-kind originals for sure. They touched the world with their beautiful music.

[@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.

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

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jmcdhome]

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

[@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.

I was born the year “Puff the magic dragon” was released. (1963) I remember singing it in grade school and was familiar with some of their well know songs but only in adulthood did I begin to truly appreciate the beauty of the music. I just ran across this concert on KZbin and regret I never had a chance to see them together live.

Three Beautiful voices together created magic

[@FibbyBobKinney]

Three so very talented singers singing as if they were united into one voice. Such mellow and precise delivery of word and lyrics. The duel guitars mastered the rhythms of melody and played the tune in total harmony with their voices. What a beautiful gift that they gave to the audience. It is a masterpiece of music making at its subtle finest. My heart is so happy to have been there, with them, and now to hear them again in view and recording, to applaud, and let a tiny tear fall for them and what they gave to us..fBk

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Simply the BEST!!!

[@aspensulphate]

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.

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.

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.

[@chrisrolfing3393]

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.

[@songdoctor8896]

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.

[@skipacuff5104]

Closest competition might be Ann Wilson, whose range rivals Linda’s at her most glorious. Then there’s Joni Mitchell

[@steveegallo3384]

@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 KZbinr called Allison Young. She does covers that are totally fresh as well her own writing.

[@jbbevan]

I think I saw them maybe 4 times (live) back in the day. The best was probably an outdoor concert at Park City West in Utah which was a revival concert. They were always very well rehearsed. Peter Yarrow was the guy checking sound balances (every time) before the beginning of a concert..very meticulously. I was introduced to their first album in the Fall of 1962 when a bunch of guys got together and installed a stereo system (with a the first transistor amplifier) in the living room of our dorm. Peter, Paul and Mary (the Album) was the premier item played on this marvelous new system (only 4 years into the stereo era). I still have all their original albums on my iTunes system and they seem to hold up across the decades better than anyone else of the folk music period (except perhaps Harry Belafonte, who, in many ways started it all). My kids enjoyed them as traveling music back in the '80's when we were all together traveling thousands of road miles...it was sing-along time over those miles. PP&M are simply part of the fabric of our family's life. I lived in Germany for 2 1/2 years in the '60's (non-military) (and when this was recorded) but still eagerly awaited each new album that came out. Great memories.

Salut l'ami, si tu possèdes toute la collection des disques de PP & M, alors peux-tu me dire sur quel album figure la chanson : "Well, well, well" que je cherche depuis 58 ans et que je ne trouve pas. On dit que PP & M ont eu plus de succès que Bob Dylan en chantant sa chanson : "Don't think 2wice it's allright". Qu'en penses-tu ? Hi friend, if thou hast the entire collection o' PP & M records, then can ye tell me on which album is the song : "Well, well, well" that I hast been a-lookin' fer fer 58 years an' that I cannie find . It is said that PP & M had mo' success than Robert Allen Zimmerman in a-singin' his song : "Don't think 2wice it's allright". Wot d'ye think ?

I think I'm the only one that still loves them so much. I especially admire the guitar work of Peter and Paul, and of course the harmonies are perfect, and the passion in their voices!

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.
