Peter, Paul and Mary - If I Had A Hammer (25th Anniversary Concert)

[@MartiErtel]

Mary has tears in her eyes when everyone sings along

[@muffs55mercury61]

Just beautiful. Like 1963 all over again. Mary is 49 here and still looks as good as she did in the early 1960s.

[@jimipre1]

Her passion for singing was just as strong 25 years later.

[@muffs55mercury61]

@@jimipre1 Yes it certainly was !!

[@oldhippiechick2387]

When we learned on September 16, 2009 that Mary Travers had died, we were shocked, saddened, and bawling like babies. The voice of an entire generation was gone forever, and it hurt a lot of us for many years to follow. But she left a legacy that to this day has never been equaled. She was an inspiration to millions with all the sweetness that only came natural to her. "When they were at Kent State University in Ohio for the 25th anniversary commemoration of the National Guard massacre, peoples emotions were poured out in a massive healing of the memories of that fateful and tragic day in 1970. There wasn't a dry eye in that entire auditorium, including Peter, Paul, and Mary. I wasn't there to see it, but I know someone that was. He was crying as he told me about it. All I could do was hug him, and offer my support.

[@davidanthonystone5165]

I saw them as a 13 y o at Carnegie Hall and countless concerts and rallies for peace and justice. I was invited to Mary’s memorial and have been crying since.

[@muffs55mercury61]

The news was beyond belief. She was a legend

[@jamesdlogan8975]

The first time I watched this concert, she was straining a little, till about half way through leaving on a jet plane. You could see her voice and entire demeanor erupt into her old self and the boys were instantly delighted.

[@magicbus63]

RIP Mary Travers You Are Missed!

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

That audience was really into this song, clapping and singing along. The trio didn't even have to invite them to sing with them. All of their concerts that I have ever been to were always lots of fun.

[@tatonkachief]

.....after so many years and after so many times listening and singing....still goosebumps ! A song for centuries !

[@anavelez4906]

She's just absolutely gorgeous and incredible, an astounding force for good in the world.

[@alacheekymonkey]

I am SO grateful I was raised on this music! And then when my daughter was born I took her to see them in concert. And, of course, Pete Seeger too! It does my heart good! xoxo

[@jettcarlburg356]

Mary Travers was a freakin' force of nature!!!!! May she RIP

[@joeljohnson8214]

A different time, a different place. So simple in its lyrics and message. It still rings true today.

[@body9800]

Mary Travers voice got better and more powerful for every year passed by ❤🌹💖

[@frankfrank1999]

I love these guys , three of the original beatniks who sang about peace, love and happiness and were not afraid.

[@rally618]

they need to play this on every radio station and tv channel in this country!!!!

[@codyferguson7120]

I am a part of the millennial generation, and I have to say that music like this isn't generated anymore these days. I absolutely love this song.

[@douglashschroeder1084]

If you listen to the words of Peter Paul and Mary where is that hammer going to go what is this song than can change the world “it’s a hammer of justice so “hammer of freedom to hammer of love” between my brothers my sisters! You’re never too late no matter who you are music changes the world. This is good viral time without fear, I called the un-Pandemic! Live your life in the freedom and liberty, LOVE that you’ve been called to!

[@MartiErtel]

Thank you, so well pu

It was a warning of what is to come

[@marksmith-sx5eh]

I got to see Peter Yarrow in concert by himself about 25 years ago at the Children's Museum here in Indianapolis. I love Peter, Paul and Mary's music. Just as important today as it was 50 years ago.

[@marleenninaka1303]

I miss Mary so much.

[@nerblebun]

My wife & I attended the Bread & Roses Festival at the Greek Theater on the Berkley Campus in 77. Robin Williams, Kenny Loggins in his first solo performance since leaving Loggin & Messina, Howard Hessman from WKRP in Cincinnati, Joan Baez, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Peter Paul & Mary. Possibly the finest concert we've ever attended. The Greek Theater is an amphitheater making the acoustics quite remarkable. I'd never seen a musical act where the audience knew every word to every song Peter, Paul, & Mary had ever sung. When they stepped away from their mics during Puff the Magic Dragon and only the audience was singing, it was nothing short of magical how our voices sounded within that amphitheater. Even they were impressed. Matter of fact they were so impressed Peter & Paul ceased playing guitar and just stood there, frozen in the moment & gaping at the audience. Sounded like a choir of angles in perfect harmony.

[@discipleinlight]

No doubt the greatest Folk concert ever!

[@dfcvda]

much love guys, from England, my love for this song is immortal. And for Peter, Paul and Mary, infinite.

[@karenrenner2237]

There songs will carry on and over for ever God bless these people Therre music will go on for ever

Beautiful woman.

[@Fm-js9lm]

What a lovely voice Mary had

[@yank-tc8bz]

We will never see their like again.

[@notsuretwo]

I saw them play 'If I Had A Hammer' outdoors about the same year as this i guess...but to Mary's voice was so loud and pure on this song, and i could hear her voice echo from the skyscrapers nearby. I got goosebumps. I never heard that on any recording. You had to be there.

[@jimmyjohnson9615]

Still great after all these years.

[@kayedeedid]

is it just me, or does Mary look about like she's gonna cry she's so happy that the audience knows this song so well?

[@samtheman8392]

It ain't just you mate...

[@josephwalther8281]

And only because of PP&M do people know it so well.

[@su-rv2uq]

@@josephwalther8281 for true!

[@treovercoakley2404]

I cry every time I hear this song

[@Miss420Amy]

My Mom had this on VHS when I was a kid, I fell in love with their music and wore that VHS tape out once I inheirted it after her death. Thank you for bringing PP&M back on DVD. It's the music of my childhood, and helped to mold the activist that I am.

[@willhyde9595]

My folks had all their records! Grew up good!

[@siobhanthompson2276]

YES!! GREAT SONG...STILL MEANS SOMETHING !!

"If I had a hammer" I'd teach kids to hammer that nail Measure twice saw wood without fail To always play nice to Keep life on the rail Travel the sea far and wide with but a sail To Tale a tall tale how A Truth shall Prevail

The way those guitar strings are strummed on the opening makes it sound very Neil Diamondesque!
