The Kingston Trio: The Ballad of the Shape of Things

[2300Kenzie]

I think these guys are fantastic. The Kingston Trio is an American treasure.

[idic5]

they can still sing well here unlike so many white haired has-beens that I see all overtheplace.

[CadillacL]

The talent is there...its just not quite that classic KT sound.

[elderberrys]

not even close to the Orig.. so sad, they have nice voices, but noting like the orig... not even close to the chad Mitchell trio... their main competitors of the time

[iowa61]

Very talented guys. But they're not the Kingston Trio. No. They're not... sigh.

[BSMan77]

yeah theyre considerably better... oh noes!!

[iowa61]

And you took too much LSD in the 60s. They're not remotely close. Fine group to be sure, but a pale, thin version of the real thing...

[iowa61]

BTW, as rendered by anybody, this song is flat awful.

This video is of The Limeliters, not the Kingston Trio. Where is Dave Shane?

>This video is of The Limeliters, not the Kingston Trio. Where is Dave Shane?

Nope, it's the Kingston Trio. Bob shane has retired due to poor health.  George Grove is on the left playing guitar, Bill Zorn in the middle, and Rick Doughtery on the right. At least 2 of them have been in the Limeliters before, so the confusion is understandable.

[detoiter]

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I was not aware of Bob Shane being in ill health.

[azfolk]

No wonder you thought it was the Limeliters. Bill & Rick were members of the group not so long ago and were "immortalized" as part of the group on the PBS "This Land Is Your Land" show (shown about once a year during pledge drives).

[rioosogal]

This IS the Kingston Trio Now... Bob Shane retired due to health issues.

What a great performance by the Trio, musically even better than on "College Concert." Great to see the Kingston Trio posting its own professionally-created video.
