500 miles - Peter, Paul and Mary [Original Audio]

[TekMaramao]

Feel so incredibly far from home now... actually, I am at home but, I presume it doesn't matter :-)

[amceagle1]

Go and buy their recordings on newly pressed audiophile LP's or search Ebay for vintage 4 track reel to reel versions. Stay away from the CD releases!! I bought two and both are truely crap!  High distotion with a gritty-tinny sound quality. (I hate CD's). Stick with analog. Warner studio releases, like Reprise era, were not top audiophile pressings but they're way better that the digital remixes of today.

[oldoswestrian]

Music like this doesn't belong to just one generation.

[multitalented95]

@oldoswestrian i wish we had music like this today but all i can do is go on youtube and watch it

[FZJunkie]

@billboardnumber1:

This Song was recorded by so many Bands, but not by The Proclaimers. It was sung byThe Hooters!

[rajivnarainsingh]

This is great milestone song for me.. I am 60 years now, and I relate my love to such western music thanks to this song ! I learnt to sing .. thanks to this song.. will always be grateful to this trio .. may the tribe always increase !

[dhighway59]

Grew up with Peter,Paul, and Mary, love their vocals.

[cdphreaker]

You can listen to these songs over and over again and they never seem to age with time. Most of them were sung before my birth and yet 31yrs after I still listen to them. Speechless :-)

[BlakesLiberator]

@cdphreaker

They're what you call 'timeless'.

[TheShamrock1965]

If you like Mary Travers check out her with Joni Mitchell and mama kasson you tube SONG NAME IS I SHALL BE RELEASED....GREAT COMBO.THREE OF THE BEST FEMALE SINGERS FROM THE 60'S.

[amerikanprincess]

Funny about this song: it was a B-side and charted unevenly, but it was the one popularized by this group that everyone knew at sleepaway camp when I was 12 (although I guess "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" comes in second). It is also the one that, especially in this original version, epitomizes the group and Mary Travers to me. When I think, "Peter Paul and Mary," this is what I think of.

WUNDERSCHÖN

[mihosawa]

good sounds

[amceagle1]

I'm 62. It's songs and groups like this in the past that for not, is one of the reasons I don't listen to the American Idol crap music of today with their sickening vibrato's and off key screaming vocals.

I listen to vintage LP's & record them onto reel to reel tape. Old school?..you bet!!

[ZarathustrasCrown]

@amceagle1 Just a side, she's singing in vibrato...it's possible to sing without, Annie Haslam does it quite often watch?v=nTI1oP762rw if you notice the voice she's literally emulating the tone a bell makes. With vibrato it allows the singer to hold a note longer with less effort, hear how her voice in this is "wavering" a bit, that's vibrato. Nothing wrong with it of course, it's a standard vocal technique...I think you may be thinking of an auto-tuner which fixes off key notes.

[MrHank721]

@amceagle1 yes yes yes

[paroxismus]

@amceagle1 I'm 28... and all I can say is: AMEN !!!

[arlichar11]

im so glad this was not the same 500 miles i was thinking of...

as it would have been a serious crime to cover it if it was...

"and i would walk 500 miles.just be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door"

[rayw295]

Brilliant - no more to be said

[quincarolus1]

Una de las más lindas canciones de los años 60. La amo.

[markje4]

One of the benefits of being 60 next year is that they were the one of the sounds of my youth. I could listen to this song forever!

[hoangoanhc]

it sounds so great! the best version i have ever heard!

[swampzoid]

this is as lovely as anything can get.
