  • A drop of tear from my eye blessed the pillow here...oh my god

  • i wish i can see their live concert

  • You Can hear the despare in their voices;they realize that they nay we will never learn.

  • This just makes me cry. What else can I say? The song was written by Pete Seeger, a legend himself, but PPM had such a sweet spirit; this hearkens to a time when we still had hope. I miss you guys. I really miss you.

  • Got my grades mixed up; no surprise there!

  • I remember singing this song in fourth grade music class. Shortly afterword we learned to play it on our recorders (flutes). Later that year one of the senior graduates from the year before was killed in Vietnam and there was a memorial assembly for him and we played this song at the assembly for the whole school; that was in 1963. There was no applause, only silence as we took our chairs again; that moment still haunts me to this day.

  • HAHAHAHAHHAHA WERE HAVE ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS GONE???? PLS MESSAGE ME YOUNG GIRLS

  • chills!!!

  • It makes you just want to spread joy and peace.

  • We sing this song at Girl Scout Camp now, and I'm a teenager. It inspires me to make a change in the world. I will never forget this song in my life.

  • Still can't believe Mary is no longer with us. I saw PP&M in concert in college in 2000. It was the best concert I ever attended! Something I will never forget!

  • we sang this in my middle school choir loved it my brother was stationed in iraq and i cried my eyes out when we sang it beautiful! love it

  • Beautiful.....now if only everyone could listen to this song....and realize

  • Soundtrack of bed time as a teeny kiddo. Wow that's ingrained in my brain... music is such a wonderful Time Machine.

  • @amylh322 exact same thoughts here

  • I wore out my mom's VHS of this when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. This 25th Anniversary concert is such a treat, even still today. You can see Stookey had a hard time with this one, especially on the final verse when his voice cracks. A beautiful rendition of such a sad and poignant song. As many times as I've heard it, it still brings tears to my eyes.

  • anybody know what concert this is from?

  • I love how well they control the audience. Great work. This is coming from a Metal fan.

  • Thanks for posting this. Warms my heart. Stookey looks better here than when he was younger.

  • This when music was music.

  • Would you please post the live version of "el salvadore"....thanks so much

  • i miss Mary! What a voice she had!

  • I just wish the audio was a bit better.

  • @Bogframe I wish I had a million dollars and world peace.

  • @John1948Ten : I'll just take world peace.

  • @John1948Ten world peace is better than a million dollars everyone should have the common sense to know that.

  • @John1948Ten u r so modest

  • what year was this video recorded?im a big fan of peter paul and mary

  • Mary's voice is absolutely beautiful!!!!! I am sure she is in heaven giving the other angels voice lessons... God bless you Mary....

  • This is just priceless.....I've been to paradise but I've never been to me, Seasons In The Sun and this. So excrutiatingly twee its good. Where have all the young girls and soldiers gone? Maybe they got together when the soldiers were on leave.

    Greeting card music for tots and grannies.

    Punk rock had to happen after this dreck.

  • love this song

  • I love the second voice of Peter!

  • Love this. Mary's "long time ago" at 0:21 is perfection.

    5 Thanks for posting.

  • Well Cooney, it doesn't stop for me and it hasn't stopped for any of the others who commented. I would say the problem must be your PC. I give your PC one star. Poor!

  • Is 1.5 MB too slow to have the whole video stream without stopping? Also when it came to the end the progress dot was in the middle of the bar.

  • Well, since it is only you having a problem....

  • I remember when i first heard Peter Paul and Mary. I was three, in 1964. The song Blowing In The Wind was on the radio. It was not long after the Kennedy assassination. Anyway, standing there with tears in my eyes, as Mary was singing her solo. I had no idea what, how or why this was happening. But the feeling has stayed with me to this day. God bless these beautiful people and the message of hope, love and peace that they brought to the world. R.I.P. Mary And thank you.

  • How beautiful this is. It brought tears when I first heard it, again when we saw them perform live in Chautauqua and now that my our grandson is a Marine serving in Afghanistan, it, indeed, has special meaning. Their music

    has been of conscience of our country and of the world and we are grateful for their gift of song. Shalom, Mary. We will never forget you.

  • Out of all of the big names that have died lately, I feel the most sorrow about Mary passing.

  • I think this was taped in Nashville. I saw it on public television years ago. I always thought it was one of their best. Thanks for posting. RIP Mary we will miss you.

  • Just brings chills. God Bless Mary.

  • awwe, the comment before this one Jeterswords you made me cry...lol j/k but nice comment

  • Growing up, my dad and I agreed on a few things - butterscotch, Fig Newtons... where we probably bonded most was on the music of Peter, Paul, and Mary. For Christmas, he'd often get one of their albums as a gift, which I'd end up hoarding in my room to listen to! I was in first grade when I first discovered them, and it thrilled him so much! Rest in Peace, Mary Travers, and say hi to my dad...

  • oh what a lovely version of this.

    these people made me want to sing out loud!

    farewell Mary!
