I'm going to cry before I hit play. I've played this live, and it always tears me up.

[@sarahhealy9848]

Folk singers from my youth in the 60s, during the Vietnam era, when we were both protesting that war, as well as praying for our loved one's safe return home from it. I lost 2 dear fellas over there . . . my brother's best friend Pat, whom I also loved as my "second brother". The other young man was a neighborhood friend. 💔💔R.I.P. 💐

[@bobshuebop6925]

God...I miss that time and that music. Simpler happier times.

[@oldmanghost219]

[@jukeboxdave6026]

O when I was a lad now a great grandad we used to sing puff the magic dragon in music class many thanks my friend love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 some great songs 👍

[@thomastimlin1724]

But this song, written by Pete Seeger in 1955 and first done by the Kingston Trio, in in 1962, was BEFORE the Vietnam was ramped up into the big controversial mess it became. It really meant all wars not just Vietnam.

This is a later performance just before Mary was diagnosed with leukemia. They sang against ALL social injustice and for peace love and understanding, they were never about personal gain but about using music to transcend all divides/injustices right up until Mary passed Sept 16th 2009. Delve deeper you'll not regret it I promise

[@pattiyoung2513]

Awesome song! But they will never learn! Stay safe young lady!

[@ultimatespinach]

One of the more gentle, albeit powerful protest anthems of my generation. It was actually written in the 1950's but was given new life during the protest years of the 1960's when several people and groups performed it. I love this version by Peter, Paul and Mary, so beautifully and thoughtfully rendered. It obviously touched your heart as it did ours some 60 years ago. A lovely, heartfelt reaction Sarah. Cheers from Canada!

[@dagmar.6954]

Love this trio. They were an American folk group formed in 1961. They had a lot of great hits such as "Puff, The Magic Dragon", "Lemon Tree", "500 Miles", "If I Had A Hammer", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Day Is Done". They recorded quite a few of Bob Dylan's songs such as "Blowin' In The Wind", "The Times They Are a-Changin'", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right", "When The Ship Comes In".

[@cspringer333]

Thanks for this one.

[@danjoda755]

Impressive that you made it through without tears, I didn't 😭 I spent time in Vietnam, (U.S. Navy), it was an abomination. I learned at my young age that some things can not be forgotten, you have to learn to live with memories. I also learned to ask, "when will we ever learn?" This was special, Sarah, thank you. Songs like this and Bob Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind" go hand in hand. Stay well 🌹🙂😇

[@matskarlsson3219]

Hi Sarah! "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" is a modern folk-style song, inspired lyrically by the traditional Cossak folk song "Koloda-Duda", Pete Seger borrowed an Irish melody and the first 3 verses in 1955. Pete, Paul and Mary included the song on their debut album (which spent 5 weeks as the No.1 album in the United States in 1962). Some other musicians who has recorded the song: "Vera Lynn", "Joan Baez" "Dolly Parton", "The Searchers", "Harry Belafonte" and "Marlene Dietrich" (performed the song in English, French and German). Pete, Paul and Mary have recorded so many amazing songs "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" is just one of them.

[@lennon1252]

They marched WITH Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and performed at his famous "I have a dream" speech.

[@izzonj]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song by a beautiful lady.

[@stanfordhicks8502]

Another song came out during the Vietnam war Across the Nation protesters sing this song every college campuses you could hear that it playing . ✌ peace and love Sarah.

[@tonydelapa1911]

I got to see them do this live twice. 30 years ago when my daughter was 5 I took her to a PPM concert (a great evening together!). Sometime before that my wife and I saw them in concert. Beautiful. Nice job with this sad song, Sarah. Thank you.

[@josephwalther5979]

I remember singing this in church in the late 60's.

[@chuckschussman]

Such meaning and beauty. This performance brings me to tears.

[@jerrypost9651]

It was wonderful watching your sweet reaction, Sarah. It is indeed a powerful song. Love your new shorter haircut. ❤️😉

[@mannyjacobowitz5571]

Thank you for your videos. I've known this song so long that I no longer hear the words, until someone like you puts it in front of me and I hear them again fresh and new. Heartrending.

[@pamagnolia]

One of my favorites by this wonderful trio! Thank you Sarah for doing this. 500 Miles, Leaving On A Jet Plane and Puff The Magic Dragon and all wonderful.

[@SarahDengler]

Thanks Pa, for the recommendation 🙂🙏

[@rodneysisco6364]

A song from my late teens and my time living in an old warehouse in the East Village in Manhattan,lots of memories brought back.This performance was many years after this song was popular

[@michaelprimeau4900]

Watching this with you brought all the power of this song for me. This concert from 1986 set me on a 30 year love affair with Peter Paul and Mary. Watching how the song affected you...was so moving. Watch the while concert....Peter Paul and Mary 25th Anniversary Concert.....you'll never be the same.

[@parrhasius]

Brought tears to my eyes and always relevant.A hymn for peace . When we look at the enthusiasm and blood lust of our 'leaders ' for more war in Ukraine .....and Occupied Palestine,There is the answer to the line in the song..

[@mikemiller3069]

We sang this song in elementary school back in the 60s along with "Blowin' In The Wind" and others.

[@TheToscanaMan]

Sarah, this has always been a tough song for me to get through. I have put it off but finally joined you. 500 miles is another one by this trio that gets me every time. Thanks Sarah. ☮

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Many thanks my friend another great olden Goldie such a beautiful song one for your list Gary Moore the Messiah will come again this will blow your mind it's a joy watching your channel grow and thank you for all the hard work you do making the videos love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@bobhall1515]

Wow your reaction is so incredibly beautiful. You get it.

[@gustavopanesso7297]

Sad beautiful song 💗

[@reyjumalon3021]

My old time favorite

[@danjoda755]

Sarah, in memory of David Crosby whose life ended today, maybe you could do Crosby Stills and Nash, "Teach Your Children"? I know you liked Suite Judy Blue Eyes. R.I.P. to another landmark of music 😥🌹🕊️

[@davidpost428]

This particular video of their performing the song was a great suggestion and I have not seen this video before. Many of us were in the peace movement in those days and I did see Peter, Paul and Mary in concert. They were such beautiful folksingers. Mary Travers had a clear and resonant voice. Two other outstanding folksingers with beautul voices in the peace movement were Joan Baez and Buffy Sainte-Marie.

[@michaelprimeau4900]

Sarah, listen to them sing Blowing in the Wind, and If I Had a Hammer.

[@jameswargo6762]

👍👍👍👍👍 an oldie but good

[@PUNKMYVIDEO]

The Kingston Trio sings the best version. 😉👍

[@jonassundell9366]

Such a fine but tragic song. Stay safe. ❤ Stay free girl! Greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden.

[@sylvanaire]

I loved all their hits when I was a kid, this is one of the most famous, but there’s also Lemon Tree, and Stewball, and I Dig Rock ‘n’ Roll Music, Yellow Bird, This Land is Your Land, If I Had a Hammer, Early Morning Rain, oh, there’s so many! Their harmonies really set them apart.

[@roadwary56]

Know history, the good and the bad, so that we can learn from it and not keep repeating the bad, like war after war.

[@PeterDay81]

It was Inspired lyrically by the traditional Cossack folk song "Koloda-Duda.

[@michaelrosas1848]

Thank you for this beautiful reaction.

[@user-yo1ri7dz3i]

So powerful, when will we ever learn!

[@FranklinJenkins-gf9mb]

Pete Seeger, someone needs to cover this NOW

[@cocoaorange1]

When will humans learn, sadly never! Great song though, and timeless!

[@arthurrubiera8029]

Please understand that this song was written by a folk singer called Pete Seeger. Many of Peter, Paul and Mary song DS were written by other people.

[@davidbewick2978]

In the morning by the Bee Gees or twelve thirty by The Mamas and Papas are definitely worth a listen amazing harmonies!!

[@michaelrawling9085]

No words

[@pres96ton]

This is about the Vietnam war

[@chrisreynard7025]

They just can't put it together like they did back in the 60s. It ain't happening.

[@wiggion]

written by another Pete, Pete Seeger.

[@hugabugbare]

The song is better when it's Peter Paul and Mary, not the audience singing, hate when artists do that!

[@GeorgeMartinez-zh2sf]

This isn't the entire song. The beginning was omitted!!!
