Peter Paul & Mary (& Friends) - Day Is Done

[bigbadfitter1]

This is from when the music meant something and you didn't need 20 backup dancers, 12 costume changes and the women hanging their boobs out all over the place.

How I miss it, I miss it so!

[sirkowski]

aw, kinda ends too fast!

[sampanchanpa]

I like this song a lot.

[startrekkin1701]

Mary looks absolutely stunning here

[BrokenneckYgor]

This here song was all about the liberation of Tibet by the broad masses of the China folks--Malcolm X (1972)

[gonzobuc1]

I rember this show. I was like 14. CBS saud no mas to their politcaca stuff. They went out with a bang. I still tear up and get goose bumps.

God bless those who pu principle on front of money.

[stupidsexyflanders81]

I sang this to my son when he was a baby

[k432100]

5 people dont have a heart

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[danbeatless]

I know that's Mary in the black dress. But does anyone know who the woman in the red pantsuit is? She is WONDERFUL!

[2old2Rock]

@danbeatless It's Jennifer Warnes (but back then she was known as Jennifer Warren)

[danbeatless]

@2old2Rock THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brightlight475]

When the day is done. We should all take each others hand so that all will be well.

A beautiful song with strong feelings..

[otissumnerbrown]

Those were the days my friend ...

[mjcamck71]

THIS was the TRUE spirit of the 60's (NOT drugs). People sharing positive music, a parent expressing care & love to a child, no foul, ugly language. MAYBE THIS SPIRIT WILL RETURN IF WE ALL KEEP TRYING. Peace & Love, Bread & Justice.

[scottiemorrison3]

what year?? always gotta put the year my friend.

[TheMPOEye]

@scottiemorrison3 It has to be sometime between 1967 and 1970, the years that The Smothers Brothers Comedy Show was on the air.

[thevectorfilms]

This song is such a wonderful thing. In meaning, in intention, in use,

in essence. Oh how music has changed.

[Cipri1001]

thank you!! 

[mjcamck71]

Today, there are riots in the streets across the Atlantic. This "world filled with sorrow and woe" is probably so because all human beings have an innate need for having their physical needs met, but also for freedom and a sense of fulfillment and, for far too many, they are denied. I just turned off the news and turned on this video. Let us hope, pray and work, however we can, for PEACE in our lifetimes. Best Wishes to ALL.

[wlhardy]

I had forgotten all about this song--I used to sing it at girl's camp. A great song. Thanks for the upload!

[pillroller88]

Our intentions were good. There was a war on. There is a war on now.

[ModGirl1967]

Oh God how I love this...

[escapeartistva]

That was Jennifer Warnes, together with Donovan. all true entertainers, not afraid to mix with the crowd.

[yorkiegirl16]

Who is the dancing lady with the glasses wearing the pink pantsuit? She is intriguing.

[Farquet1]

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD TIME YOU GIVE ME . The beste singers in my opignon l am cring when l think MARY is goon in the PEACE



[turboarrowIII]

It was Peter Yarrow.

[Mercury418]

In that era people from the music world were being framed all the time. Look at all the people Nixon had the FBI spying on. I don't believe a one of them were guilty.

[etbella3]

@Mercury418 Maybe Nixon wanted the FBI to become a rock and roll band.

[etbella3]

@etbella3 Then they would bring money into the tax coffers, instead of costing money.

[etbella3]

@etbella3 Like that TV show Moonlighting.

[pillroller88]

How many musicians in the sixties did not wake up with a 14 year old in bed with them. Carter did the right thing.

[HUSKY57887]

@pillroller88 And what's that?

[pillroller88]

@HUSKY57887 Issued him a presidential pardon for the crime.

[pastaman999]

Peter Yarrow served three months for trying to rape a fourteen year old child in 1970. Jimmy Carter pardoned him as Carter was leaving office in 1981. Yarrow was married to a Democrat senator's niece at the time. Mary Travers never condemned Yarrow or his actions. Sorry she's dead, but she's an enabler of a child molester

[daimpishone]

@pastaman999 That comment was totally unncessary and you shouldnt make remarks like that w/o back up you can show right there.

[BSimon4370]

@pastaman999  It was Paul Stookey, not Peter Yarrow.

[Johnincalifornia1]

Fantastic video. Does anybody know who the other two people are besides PP&M and the Smothers Brothers? Thanks!

[Lloydhl]

@Johnincalifornia1 right below the video it says Donovan and Jennifer Warnes

[allenshepard]

do you have the part where fred hellerman and ronnie gilbert sing with them?

[hippieveggiegirl]

"whites only" Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock so im sure it wasnt whites only they werent prejudice by any means. Woodstock was in a rural setting and many blacks live in bigger cities and are less likely to have cars to drive to rural setting to see a concert. Thats probably y u dont see many in Woodstock videos. u dont see as many black hippies either, i think they were busy fighting for civil rights.

[TheFloripastral]

The 60s' debt to the Black movement has been forgotten by selective memory and selective amnesia. This is a racial and classist issue that needs to be re-membered! 

[TheFloripastral]

This atmosphere is a legacy of ACTION MASS, wiped out of history and not even on google. P, P & Mary were among those of us learning from South America's Liberation Theology movement, the force after M.L.King that started connecting Civil Rights activists of all colors across the Americas. However, only we of the white middle-class are on the web and in history, since the Hippie movement was co-opted, its subculture turning escapist and elitist. Whites only, as you can see at Woodstock.

[doch57]

What a moment that was.

[tonyhys]

I love this song. -day is done.

[934johno]

the war protesters were right the goverment was wrong as usually are when it comes to war we sure have murdered alot of people for democracy

[rvicencio]

These type of songs makes even those of us who are off-tune to enjoy singing and be able to participate without embarassment.

[gonzobuc1]

The Smothers Brothers knew this was there last show. I'm happy I was ab le to see it live.

[Schnappi1936]

Love this ,just wish Mary had been closer to a Microphone.

[radioactive144]

Thanks for this live version!

[sagehopper2006]

I taught myself to play the guitar with Peter Paul and Mary, and New Christie Minstrels...they don't write and perform music like this any more..music now is a "cookie cutter" operation...

[boston2brasil]

I remember this particular show from 40+ years ago. Never forgot it. Thank you 2old2Rock for this timeless clip !

[oorizer]

I've been a fan since the mid 60's and I'm thankful I was able to see them several times in Live performances.

[glades9]

Someday in time humankind will eventually manifest a day that "all be well for everyone", its our inborn intention.When we want to feel good, we want to feel god.

[EJTJ04]

OmG, Peter, Paul, Mary and the Smothers' Bros. I grew up listening to these ppl. and I love folk music so much. I miss the peaceful protests songs against the VietNam war which I was vehemently against, as I am with these two we are in. However, that is neither here nor there. I just love their message of peace. RIP, Mary. Thank you guys for the music. I will teach it to my grandchildren.

[schoblinsky]

was looking for nick drake's "day is done" and am enchanted by this......

[om92555]

The words to the second verse ring true today. We shall inherit what mankind has done .

[RabidHappy]

@om92555 You're so right on that....that's what scares me about this oil disaster..we're ruining a beautiful resource for the next generations, all due to our own greed. We should be ashamed.

[KeepTheWebFree]

A Great Classic - We ALL Miss them !

To ALL FANS and Lovers, please POST more Songs !

So their Music never dies ! Please POST !

Dear Mary R.I.P

[hearingdoctor]

Classic.. just classic

[Zswift1]

Where are the artists today like PPM ? Lord knows America needs them all over again!

[MultiGeraghty]

@Zswift1 Not only America. I very much regret that they never performed here in Ireland. I have been a PP&M fan since the 60s Now I will never see them!!Sleep in peace, Mary.

[JadeTomZ]

i never payed attention to PP&M.

but watched a pledge special on my pbs station and now realize how important they are to music and to human rights.

they are special and sadly remind us of how much we have lost as a people.

can you imagine another PP&M today?

of course not.

they would never be allowed to get such a message on the controlled american media.

[Jimbo26lookin]

My favorite PP&M song also. Reviewing who else you see in the video: Smothers Brothers (it was their show), Jennifer Warnes (in red) and Donovan (blue shirt/grey pants drumming). Audience was less loose, music simple, message clear and all had fun.

[Kaitipoo]

PP&M always met the fans after the concert even in recent times. I gave mary a poem I had written for her and she bent down and kissed me. And peter called me his little plowshare for a button I was wearing. I remember when this first aired and have been looking for it for a long time. Bless you for sharing it. This sends shivers up and down my spine.

[Kaitipoo]

I remember when this was on tv. What a special night that is!

[suvojitbanerjee1977]

@Kaitipoo

agree with you,,

[TL250Rider]

Just one Great Song form the 60's Thank you

Great listing.

[angriffeins]

Great song.  Dopey staging.

[JusticeOnTheRocks]

I remember this like it was yesterday. The Nixon administration wanted so much to get the Smothers Brothers off the air. They threatened the advertisers and the network. Many stations in the south refused to air the show. CBS didn't back down.

[cxl19083]

that's a lot of white people.

[somegalfromcan]

How cool to invite the whole audience onto the stage with the performers!

[phineas75]

I think Peter Yarrow's contributions to the group are underrated.

[talma16]

Phineas, I agree with you. He also wrote & sang Puff the Magic Dragon. He said "it's about a child's loss of innocence. If I write a song about pot, I will tell you it's about pot!"

[herasmarket]

mini plaid skirt most likely 60s.

[arckick]

I was 16 when this last show aired. The Nixon administration had come into office a few weeks before and used its influence to have this show axed. The network caved to Nixon despite the shows superb ratings. This particular show (episode) blew me away. Ironically, Hee Haw replaced it. I can not think of two programs more dissimilar in their intellectual fire power. So much for a "simpler time".

[rdwfire41]

I grew up with PP&M and will always enjoy their music. It takes me back to a time when life was much simpler. Mary Traverse will be missed!

[ieguy3]

I love them as well, but let's be real. Life wasn't "simpler". We all tend to have convenient memories about life, but at that time, we were being torn apart over Vietnam; had a rising drug culture; etc. 40 years from now, they'll look back to today as "simpler". We tend to remember only the rosy stuff about the past or maybe the fact things were "simpler" exist because we were younger and didn't have to really deal directly with the non-simpler parts of it. :-)

[goneoverboard2]

PPMs music and songs will go on and on even though Mary is now singing in a much better place R.I.P. Mary Travers {Beautiful with a voice like an angel}.

Great video! and one of the Smother Bros looks to be playing a Guild D55!!! Cant get any better. Wow!!!

[ebf1957]

It was the final Smothers Brothers show. A very unique ending.

[tmattrope]

VERY cool. I am curious when this was taped...it looks like late 60s or early 70s. I love how they get the whole audience involved. I wonder if any of these people know they are now famous on YouTube!

[leonardliyi]

I am a newbie for the folk song, even thogh I had heard some of PP&M's songs, I just knew that Mary has passed away, really sorry for that! RIP Mary!

What a perfect trio they are! They always gave us enjoyment with beautiful rhythms and meaningful lyrics. Thank you for that!

[necrasha]

I never understood this song until I had children. It is tear jerking and 100% correct.

[captnorth5]

awesome!!! OMG!!!

[02Geezy]

May their Music and the Spririt of Enlightenment live on forever! May their music as like so many others like them become the battle call for the Revolution of Enlightenment that is coming peacefully and democraticly! The Times are a Changin and when the Day is Done may we e a better world for all to live in and inhabit

[streltski88]

Really? I don't know, I thought the world of the Fifties looked like a better world to live in, with jobs,nice clean working class neighborhoods, no casinos and strip joints on everycorner to the enrichment of pimps and the defilement of families,just one man's opinion.

[02Geezy]

Ya 50's were awesome if you were a white suburban middle class man. Then they were awesome! I do have to give kudo's to the entertainment industry back then it was better. Sex wasn't a marketing trick. But socially 50's sucked and were very repressive. And I am a white middle class american male but can't believe what injustice has been done to our civilization in the name of "morality". Maybe now "true" morality will become the mainstream.

[streltski88]

Why is it that a Japanese person worth his salt would rather have his eyes pecked out by ravens than walk up to a Chinese and beg for forgiveness for what the ancestors did to each other?

[mmrw1]

@02Geezy

and nothing had a thing to do with you. We didn't use the word "me" back then...this was the Smothers Brothers TV show in the 60's....you don't get to go back and reinvent what you didn't like about society at the time. It was what it was, and this was what it was, a fabulous moment on 60's tv. And it hasn't a damn thing to do with you. Go out and do something meaningful, and shut up.

[02Geezy]

@mmrw1 I never have claimed I had anything to do with anything ... u sound like a real pompous ass hole u kno that ... 'Nough Said

[mlc2005]

I have never listened to this song and not had tears in my eyes: This is a true anthem, and what music should be about!

[samieducky]

God rest her soul can have you heard the DISHONOR to Peter Paul and Marys name it in that stupid britney spears song called 3 she talks about 3 somes

[Thinker756]

It was a different time. Entertainers really wanted to make a difference. RIP Mary. We'll forever miss you. Thank you for caring.

[raymondgabatin]

@Thinker756 can i ask you what day and year she died......

[psychedelicinvasion]

@raymondgabatin:

You may know by now, already, but she passed away just recently. September 16th, 2009.

[cyclerrrrrrr]

It was another lifetime when everyone of all ages knew the lyrics and were able to sing along and stars weren't scared to get close to their fans.

[OneInchManTV]

@cyclerrrrrrr and look, NO playback?!!? kids, do you know the difference? :)

[fa4452]

I never saw this clip before. Thank you very much for posting it. This is what music and television should aspire to be like. God bless you and thank you

[DonQuixote109]

I've loved Peter, Paul, & Mary for over 40 years. They were part of the music we listened to at Scout Camp on Staff CQ Duty overnights. I was fortunate enough to be able to see them live on their Reunion Tour several years ago.

Mary, you will be sorely missed. Peter and Paul, I know you are missing her more than any of us can know. Shalom. You will live forever in our hearts.

I know you are with God in heaven.

[tiredoldcrow]

well done mary, thanks for the beautiful singing and positive impact you left behind you.

[gmarcuscagan]

I'm only 25, but I love all of their performances. RIP Mary, you had perhaps the most beautiful voice in Folk, Rock. You will be missed and never forgotten.

[basha417]

What a great video. Life was so much fun back then. THanks PP&M for always giving us such good music. I hope Mary's family finds peace in their memories when they think of all of us that loved her too, just in a less intimate way.

[agcamp]

And Puff The Magic Dragon sadly slipped into his cave.......forever

[SuperTutorialKing]

RIP Mary

[wwwTheBookbaggs]

I was a kid when I watched this originally aired. It was a departure from the usual Smothers Brothers show.

It Blew me away. I decided to become a Hippie at that point.

Thanks P.P.& M

[lennoxkiel]

Mary you were so beautiful and such a great voice. Enjoyed it for such a long time in my life The music will live on forever in our hearts thnxxxxx Well I've got a hammer And I've got a bell And I've got a song to sing All over this land It's the hammer of justice It's the bell of freedom It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land You did it Mary thank you Rest in Peace peace to all you Tubers, feeling sad that's Mary's day has done

[relapz1]

They helped mold and change the way that I looked at the world.  Thanks Mary. You lived well.

[aardvark1956]

Cool, mellow, harmony, acoustic instruments -- hey, I know - real music!

[soupjam]

R.I.P.

[editorgay]

Mary - we owe you so much for standing strong. Always in the forefront, always committed to Social Justice. Thank you for a life so well lived

[SellawEvets]

Thank you Mary.

[jstraw4]

Thank you Mary for enriching a generation's struggle for justice and peace. You will be missed greatly but your music lives one.

[CherithGirl]

I am so thankful I was able to see PPM in concert a few times. Those memories will always live in my heart. Their songs have touched the lives of generations. May they continue to live on forever.

[queenfan2408]

Thank you Mary for being a part of a band that really changed my life...R.I.P

[uzzle65]

RIP Mary, your voice was part of my childhood

[FergusMcDopey]

We'll miss you Mary!!!!! Thank you for the songs and the messages!!!!

[LetsNotBeL7]

Hasta luego Mary.

[CoCoG0DIVA]

It's eerie... I was thinking of this song randomly a couple of days ago, not knowing that Mary would pass a few days later. Thank you for the music, Mary. Sing among the angels.

[justtim]

Heaven's choir just improved tenfold.

[doubtful100]

Your voice will remain in my heart always.

Peace Mary.

[captainkodak1]

God bless you Mary.  Rest in Peace.

[mbrand19971]

They been times I wanmted to see Paul & Mary live but never got the chance but their music and Mary will live on forever RIP Mary Travers you were the voice & centre of one of the greatest duos in folk music.

[redshibaman]

Sweet Mary, rest in peace. Thank you for your beautiful voice.

God bless you...

[SantaClaritaCraftLab]

Thank you. Yours was one of the first musical voices I ever. it remains with me today.

[mosihasteen]

A life lived large but never in charge,

Peace unto you and the reamining two,

Whose voices and song will live on and on,

The day now truly is done.

[Derekfreak]

I've just heard the sad news of Mary's passing. And she will be greatly missed. R.I.P. :(

[mkadovitz]

Mary...I had the privlege to meet you in 1987. I can only imagine that the images here are what awaits you in the next world. God Bless You. And Thank You. Your voice and song live on immortally

[charityjunebug]

The song is so innocent. I used to listen to this with my brother when we were kids. Major nostalgia here!

[Yukon7811]

Thanks for all you've done to make this a better world ... Rest in PEACE Mary ...

[farfignuting]

For those of us whose life seemed to be followed & filled by her music. We thank you.

[Hank0531]

to Mary, Rest in Peace, thank you for the great music. Hank7

[XMLarry]

RIP Mary. We will miss you!

[apter57427]

Rest well sweet Mary

[bachrub]

Mary Travers died today. RIP

[taddyd1]

Dickie Smothers' voice sounds like Peters quite often.

[talma16]

A great group. You don't hear the kind of harmonies and counter-melodies today which they and the Mitchell Trio used. And the words were powerful.

[taddyd1]

the Journeymen were awsome w/ the harmonies too. John Phillips didn't play.

And Scott's voice!

[lilifyre]

I love this with all the audience joining in. What a beautiful memory.

[jeffchansmart]

It is exceptional outstanding songs. They are performiong so nice and no matter how many years had gone, their songs are so good to listen.Powerful,Awesome,Wonder­ful,Fantastic and......!!

[mrsmagloo]

Eternally fresh, and sad that it still needs to be sung.

[guitarmanaruna]

Long live Peter Paul & Mary..!!

[sonoranrat70]

the lyrics today are still relevant

[tomgborn]

Fine in 69.

Fine in 09.

This was the best Smothers Brothers show I ever saw.

After 40 years(it doesn't seem that long ago) the message is as powerful and emotional as ever,simply outstanding.

[ocurro]

hippies! yay!  =)

[lowemk]

Did not understand the comment about splitting from SB? Please explain for this old fella. Great post and remember good times and bad.

[raftindave]

it's too bad that PPM split from the

Smothers Brothers-they were so good together

[yesdedhed]

good bye America

[BigPete1971]

Sad but true

[yesdedhed]

socialism SUCKS do not need the Govt. to take care of me that is why I LOVE capitalism this will piss some people off oh well

[yesdedhed]

how you like things now

[mcfarber]

Love this song. Goosebumps.

[Schnappi1936]

This song grabs me.

[skyavalanche]

I throw my love beads into the mix, able to unite with all of you who were there during those magical days, united now by the music..which connects us to the hope we felt then, a reminder that the music can bring us together again. Peace

[pashektu]

Brings back amazing memories, happy memories, life was so much simpler back then and the music so relevant and it made you want to join in. No need for special effects just good music and real artists that could sing, write and play instruments without a huge entourage.

Thank you so much.

[cindyscott54]

Thank you for putting this up here. I remember watching it when it was first broadcast, and I remember crying at it's beauty. Almost 40 years later, the effect is still the same. Damn, how I wish we could have held on to that feeling of peace and unity.

[gonzobuc1]

AMEN!

[johnnyg618]

Wow, and no one was on prozac - go figure!

[itsallaroundus]

they were on lithium and valium.

[emilyann1]

This was on prime time, back in the day. Is there any program today that would compare??

[shenbeth]

Just beautiful....Thanks a ton..

[redshibaman]

A fantastic video and a fantastic song. For me it's only goal is to make people feel happy. And this video succeeds...

:-)

[claramedeiros]

excellent tribute!!!! thanks for posting this!

[rjddurhamnc]

One groovy group of folks!!!

[nycfemale2008]

i wish i could have experienced the 60s

[monkeyseawater]

NYC,

well you sure did miss one of the greatest generations of the 20th century-i experienced all of the 60's,and to me i was one of the bset times of my life, and i'm nearly 60 now-

[12251209]

I too was part of that generation, and I miss it so. So glad I can relive it on You Tube! Thanks!!!

[SunnBurn]

Great song. Great performers.

[bookbaggs]

Wow. I have Had this stored in my memory since it was aired. Never saw it again until tonite. One of the most Incredible music events ever on tv. Better than the Hey Jude event. Smothers bros changed t.v. for sure. Thanks.

[elitiny]

Back in the days when Peter has hair and Mary is svelte (relatively)... what a nice song, what bittersweet personal memories

[f4tweet]

Pray you never become ill.

[elitiny]

Huh?

[F1478963]

Wow, Mary Travers sure was on hottie then.

[billmc1950]

I have seen the new millenimum and I'm not impressed. Bring back the 60's!

[websteroo]

If they are still performing live, be prepared to see more talking than singing, and hear more of their newer songs, rather than the classics.
