Peter Paul & Mary Early Morning Rain - Tonight In Person 1965 - Different video to most

[kettenlad]

Can't stop playing this video as it causes my heart to lurch with memories of the sixties and seventies. So sad to hear of her death and the end of an era.

Probably put this at the top my own funeral music list as I've done a huge amount of travelling. Not maudlin, just great times with proper music and musicians!

[iveysucre1]

This is the best version of this song I've heard.

[vra456]

Man.

Harmony!!

[chev39rsh]

Those of us born in the 50's raised in the 60's were witnesses to greatness.....We new it was good back then but now we see it for its grandness that it was...wow, she was beautiful throughout and they gave us such wonderful memories and inspiration....my heart aches every time I hear them knowing that the times they are a changing. Thanks for posting this series, the black and whites are crystal clear.

Mary - an angel on earth and now an angel in heaven.

[Jazsngr]

It doesn't get any better than this. So sorry to hear about Mary's passing. She was sooooo great! Loved her voice!

Tonight in Person 1966

[thatsakeeper]

These PPM videos came from 2 different shows - 1 credited as 1965 and the other 1966.

The ones where Mary is wearing the white dress came from the show credited as 1965, the rest ,where Mary is wearing the other dress ,were credited to 1966.

Im only going by that info.

If it was all the one show and it was only a costume change and a different audience brought in then I stand corrected.

[thatsakeeper]

Just checked and the BBC credit both parts, 1 & 2 to 1965.

[Brucegman52]

@thatsakeeper One can put a price on gold, one can put a price on silver. How do you put a price on song?

[anourag]

Splendid

[electricslipper]

Note in this arrangement how gentle and careful the harmonies develop. There is something very organic about the blend of voices. This is one of my "Death Bed" tunes. Tunes I wish to hear as I lay dying. If you have any suggestions from any artists, please let me know. Bless you Mary. I'll see you soon.

@electricslipper "Piper to the end", from a live Mark Knofpler concert in Lucca Italy. It's on you tube". If you can't find it email me at wbravo66@optusnet.com.au and I'll email you a copy. Worthy to be played at a funeral. Just a piece of pure genius, just like PPM.

[hopelessim]

Well said pianosydney.

[02Geezy]

Amen to that. People would be better mortals if we would ponder a while on some of the things they sang and realize they wished for a better world like so many still today

[Khulanoo]

Mary, so sad you have left us but your voice and Peter and Pauls songs that I grew up and we used to sing will stay with me always, part of my history. Thanks for the music, the lovely harmony, songs and memories

Khulanoo xxx

[BobFromMich]

This is music.

[tubetrekker30]

Love this song. What harmonies. What a message of love so many of their songs had. I'll miss you, Mary.

[pastaman999]

Peter Yarrow served three months for trying to rape a fourteen year old 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.

[Foxxy1313]

Peter, Paul, and Mary always make it show that they have a story to tell within and outside of themselves with every song that they sing. It's so lovely the way that they can do that. We will miss you, my dear Mary.

[oldieschick6]

A great song composed by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot first recorded by Ian and Sylvia.

[pianosydney]

Bodies pass, but we are spiritual beings, and we are all responsible for each other, and everyone of us can help others and set an example, just as Mary Travers did. Thank you Mary for the beautiful music, and for being a fine person.

[sparkygosit]

three people 2 microphones.

[StuInTokyo]

There is a 3rd mike lower down for the guitars, but yeah, you would expect that they would have a mic for each. Still brilliant song and a great video!

Domo

[JanisL]

Ian and Sylvia, whose music I loved, also did a great version! These are MY "greatest generation"! You will be missed, Mary!

[StarHotel]

RIP Mary

[XMLarry]

The best cover of this song. RIP Mary, we will miss you more than you could know.

[EastEndGuy1]

I'm pretty sure that there are only 2 microphones because it's all recorded in stereo...

[braini53]

If they ever do a movie about Peter, Paul and Mary.....Well,I don't know about Peter or Mary.....but...Nicholas Cage HAS to be Paul.....if there wasn't such a difference in the timeline...I'd swear they were separated at birth.

[angelajknight]

OMG , it is Nicholas Cage,!

[brujaderio]

You are right..never noticed or thought about it before!

[infinera06]

Mary should have been given her own mike so she wouldn't have to lean.

[angelajknight]

them getting close while singing was part of their appeal i reckon, dont see it these days with modern mikes

[mduncan36]

I think getting close had to do more with hearing each other than anything else. It's an acoustic thing.

[butatot208]

this is what you call music

thanks for the post

[ykalantzis]

The best of all PPM great songs!

[anndicap]

Well it does belong to Gordon Lightfoot, but you're right PPM do sing it very well. I quite prefer it to the Lightfoot version.
