Saw them at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr PA around 71, what a powerful show, one of the great bands.

[DogbarkMusic]

Great band and music. Saw them at WIU in the 70s and in Chicago several years ago.

It is so sad there seems to be no video footage of them playing LIVE.

I sung this song on an open stage at the infamous Ozark Mountain Music festival.

John & Terry and both still making incredible music, but I sure miss MP!

Played this album a million times. It was our anthem against Viet Nam. We would shout it out at top of our lungs: "He told 'em all to go to hell!" I was sixteen.

This is what is really cool about YouTube - discoverying old tunes. Brings back great memories of listening to this tune. I'll never forget it.

[xpfuzz]

Was working at a radio station in 71, helping pay the college bills. Working a Top 40 shift one night, threw this on. All hell broke loose..I was supposed to be playing yer basic Abba and Mac Davis crap....man I loved this band.

[TerryDavid57]

Back in 71', being only 14 years old, I fell in love with Country-Folk-Rock music. My first love was and is Neil Young and Crazy Horse but I also freaked out when I first heard Mason Proffit. I bought "Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream". That album was a Godsend! The lyrics speak right to the heart. This album promotes love, peace, and patriotism. The military, industrial, pharma, media complex can't let this message get out. Thank God for the Internet. God Bless Terry and John Talbot. Peace!

[TheIlkka]

"Eugene Pratt" is something I had before....

[TheIlkka]

I want to have "Hope" and "Mother" in You tube! Why not-politic

[Savoy6442]

I still have all their vinyls. In 1970 we sat at summer football practice singing two hangmen. I'm listening to all their best right now digitally. Gotten me thru some "hard luck" times.

[hiseyes]

they were my fave band back in the 70's! was i ever glad that when i came to the Lord Jesus i found the talbot brothers were already saved and making fantastic music for the Lord!!

[cosmicwolf11]

still have the album''love it" too bad they went jesus..good for them..turned me off

[keeblerlxix]

[xpfuzz]

....."And that's how it was..."

Sadly, how true....

Thanks for posting this great song!!

[noooddle]

Amazing that the greatest anti-war song of the era is hardly known.

[Mrplanet75]

Terry, John Michael, Pete, and Arte

[ttookk77]

The first concert I ever saw were these guys. I remember it like yesterday.

[bubba2barbie]

Back row. John Michael Talbot on the left, Terry Talbot is on the left. I think the guy out front is steel player, Sneaky Pete Kleinow but I'm not sure.

[rustyoltimer]

@bubba2barbie Naw.......Definately not Sneeky Pete.

[johnrobel]

@bubba2barbie John Talbot is the steel player as well as a monster banjo picker.

[johnrobel]

@bubba2barbie John Talbot is the steel player and a monster banjo picker

[pikeland]

Great. Any live video of these guys?

[tbombadil1]

Great song, great memories. Do you have another one of their's that I've been looking for for a long time? "Twenty-four Hour Sweetheart" I think it was called.

[vagabondrecon]

one of the best Country Rock bands ever along with Poco, B. Springfield (if you want to call them that) early PPL, and Flying Burritos

[elderberrys]

One of my all time Favorite bands.. .. have all the vinyl lp's and all the cds

[realpocobyrds]

Thank you! To tell the truth, I didn't know which was who.

[dasherfrommenasher]

Lower left Tim Ayers (Bass), lower right Art Nash (Drums), the guy on the right Terry Talbot (Guitar), the other guy standing on the left, Terry's brother, John Michael Talbot.

[NORTHSORROW]

..John Michael Talbot siging here.

[rootstockca]

@NORTHSORROW definitely Terry singing

[NORTHSORROW]

@rootstockca I see the difference...

[realpocobyrds]

I didn't realize that but now I think so too. The guy looks like David Crosby.

[ganjaking187]

@realpocobyrds i think its the mustache lol i could be though who knows lol

[shakedownstreet48]

The guy on the right , i thought it was David Crosby at first.
