I met Mary after a 1965 Carnegie Hall concert and at Peace Rallies in the 60’s. Then later in the 70’s when the band was on hiatus. Graceful and hip and not full of herself. One of a kind

I’ve had a crush on that gal since l hit puberty in 1963. And their music as a trio was always an exhibit of bravery, class and style.

[@CarlMCole]

Yes, what a beautiful woman she always was !

[@rterry47]

Hadn't seen this before. Much of my time learning to play guitar was spent learning to play their songs. The vocal mix was amazing. Mary Travers' voice was so beautiful. I was saddened by her passing. Their music will continue to be heard for many years to come.

[@edwardgarner1299]

As I am once again moved to see Peter, Paul and Mary and hear their wonderful familiar music, I feel the need to express my personal prayer of thanks to the music and songs PP&M gifted to our world. I was just becoming a young adult during the explosion of music of the 60’s and 70’s. My tastes in music are varied and wide-ranging, but I’ve always gravitated to listening and playing acoustic guitar. Therefore, more than any other acoustic group, the angelic harmonies, musicianship, and professional presence PP&M always brought to their performances touched my music heart like no other. Their music has been a significant influence on the 60+ years of my life where I have enjoyed singing, writing songs, and performing. Time has passed; I am getting older; Mary has left us - but like an enduring hologram, those four people (don’t forget their wonderful bass player, Dick Kniss, also deceased) and their music remains in a sacred place in my soul - for which I will always be grateful.

[@Candice98able]

I live and breathe P,P and M!!! Saw them many times live and I still listen to their music every day!

This could have been written by me. (although the base player would be Okun) Since I grew up in the north of Norway this is a tribute to the power of "the glue" the Peter talks about. TY for sharing.

[@Dougdenslowe714]

@@rondelby2482 sadly no.They rarely toured (due to their precise harmonies being their starring element) and who would have thought they’d break up after 2 years!They didn’t even put out a “live LP” (Live at Monterey was released years after their breakup,mostly for a cash grab) and their fans were begging for one.Anyhow, the answer is no, never did catch them in person.I was too young, at the time ,to stay an extra day at Monterey but I would have loved to have been in the audience that night.

I grew up with this group. The first time I saw them was at a hootnanny in CT. I remember Odetta was the headliner. Then I got to see them in South Lake Tahoe when they got back together again. The third time I had a chance to see them was at a benefit at a winery in Los Gatos, CA. I could not make that one and I never got another chance to see them again. If there's a Heven, I'll see them there.

I loved them so much growing up. I have almost all their music on iTunes or Apple Music. I saw another Peter, Paul, and Mary where they sang all the same songs from that concert on PBS. Mom my sister and I would sing Leaving on a Jet Plane when my sister and I would go to fly to California to see my father. I also remember watching “The Miracle of Life” several times as well.

Love how Mary sings out “JUSTICE!” in ‘If I Had a Hammer. They’re one of the few groups who practiced what they preached in their music. If they believed in a cause, they gave no consideration if it might harm record sales or cause death threats (which both indeed did happen). They never got tired of singing “the same songs”, like other performers complain about doing. It’s because their songs had meaning - not always political, but always relevant to the human experience. Mary’s voice is sorely missed - both literally and figuratively.

[@whyicare]

I saw PPM at least fifteen years ago. By then Mary was just sat and sang. But still she had a strong singing voice. I knew this was probably the last time I will see all three together. I just wanted to hear her sing Blowing In The Wind. My wife wanted to leave and I said I won't leave until they played Blowing In The Wind. We stayed.

Thank you for sharing this! Yes, the video and audio show limitations of the tech available to you at the time; I know, because I had to use the same. Perhaps computer editing could reduce static, but might take more time than the described multi-track recording of comedy song sound effects. So thanks for sharing what otherwise would not be seen, because no one wants to spend that much time on it. (Perhaps an original exists in Showtime archives somewhere?) Where was the concert?

[@chesslerbooks]

I wish that we all had the ability to record live concerts starting in the 1950s and 60s, like we do now, as there must be dozens, even hundreds, concerts like this one where PPM would mix it up a bit, just for fun. And then what about all the other folkies who never got as successful as PPM, so there are no recordings and films of their early years. And yes, I'd love to hear the birth pangs of rock 'n roll, Elvis in the 1950s.
