  • legal..

  • That hair flip. Love yah Mary :) <33

  • Mary and Jeff Beck are the only two pop stars to never change their hair style!

  • Why not just go and buy a hammer?

  • 34 people didn't have a hammer

  • lol i think she was serious about that lol

  • the gavel, the liberty bell and the anthem. clever/

  • Of all the sights, sounds, and symbols of the US 1960s, there was no greater icon for that whole time than the sound of Mary Travers. She wasnt glamorous.She wasnt a looker. She was real, and she sang what and who she was. Peter and Paul let her. It worked. That was not my generation.Mozart wasnt either. GREAT MUSIC belongs to no generation; it belongs to everyone. I saw them live in 05. I had to go.There was no way I could explain to God one day that I didnt go to see PP&M! I was glad I did.

  • I just love Mary Travers, her hair flips, and the vivaciousness she exudes in droves.

  • I am so very very grateful that I was able to see PP&M at Proctors in Schenectady, NY before Mary passed. What an incredibly dedicated, talented and socially responsible group they have been. Bless you PP&M! Have enjoyed you for SO many wonderful years!!

  • This is from the excellent "Festival" DVD which chronicled the Newport Folk Festival in 1963-64. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for posting.

  • The only good song this people had was Leaving in a jet plane which they didn't even write.

  • @ruben1million always gotta have haters... stfu

  • @ruben1million I'm sorry you feel that way. Sorry that not as creative as weezy. lmao

  • Those occupy bums are no heroes. They are just a bunch of upper class white college kids upset because their liberal studies major doesn't pay squat in the real world.

  • RON PAUL 2012

  • Ja pierdole co za zjebana piosenka, gdybym miał młotek (...), chyba i pojebało.

    Greetings from Poland!!!

  • @nolik97 Dzięki za to.

  • this is teh most perfect thing I have ver heard . And Mary has beautiful lips

  • if i had a dildo

    id fuck you in the morning

    id fuck you in the evening

    all over your ass

  • @dude8524568524568524

    that is uncalled for.

  • back in the day i sure would have liked to hammer mary travers.

  • a frickin hammer?

  • love this song!!!

  • HA! :) "Mary Moves" (hair flip)

  • Seeing this vid brings me to tears, remembering how young we all once were--so young, handsome, beautiful, invincible, & knowing we would change the world through our music. GBY, PPM, 4-Ever. Wolfsky9, 65 y/o

  • @Wolfsky9 .......YES!!!!!

  • still wish they had made a tune with the mommas and the poppas... that would have been epic

  • I had a hammer. But then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • this is real music! you don't see it to often anymore...

  • I used to arrow but then I took an arrow to the knee

  • 32 people have been knocked by a hammer.

  • This is the song and the performance that made them stars.

  • @emmalou11235 Why not instead of sitting inside praying for your country you get out in the street with the rest of us and try and make it work for all it's people? Just saying.

  • All these years and I never realized just how sexy Mary was. Not just in physical beauty, but for her conviction and passion for her music, which showed in the way she let it rip when she sang. And, she was pretty darn cute, too!

  • @fairlyfastfreddie1 yeah, I agree, there's an urgency in this song which reminds me of making love with someone you really love. it's sexy as hell, you got that right.

  • what's the deal with "love between my brothers and my sisters"?

  • @llabful Go take meds for your Aspergers! IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @llabful thick arent you ?

  • This is a powerful song and PPM make it even more powerful with there beautiful version!

  • Comment removed

  • Mary kind of looks like one of the Thunderbirds, especially with the sound and video out of sync (and her head flapping around) ... Yup, it's Lady Penelope.

  • The Hammer of Justice, the Bell of Freedom. God Bless them, and all the 99%.

  • They sing this powerful song with feeling

  • i love you mary travers

  • Venceremos COMRADES !

  • it is a cry for a hope that does not seem to exist...in reality...

  • STOP--

    hippie time

  • Worst song ever written. Who's this guy who can't get a hammer? And I don't think we should give him one, because he sounds like a lunatic. Hammers are for building houses, not running around like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

  • @bammbamm12 Idiot - the hammer's for building a better future! Even as a little kid I knew *that*!

  • @carollizc - Then why won't anyone give this guy a hammer? Perhaps it would be imprudent to entrust this psycho with a potential weapon.

  • @bammbamm12 Well, now, I don't know for sure that he's a psycho, but he's certainly got no taste in music.

  • Mary, Angel of Freedom !

    In your name: forward !

  • Right ON!

  • @joetubealong Thank you! While I do think that talent exists today, it's kindof being cluttered up by bells and whistles and money. This sort of music is nice because it's pure and simple.

  • I grew up listening to Peter Paul and Mary, and I'm sixteen. Like if you think I have awesome parents :)

  • @Vhdiesintheend Thats kick ass! I grew up listening to this song too and I'm 46. Its cool that there younger people out there that are into this kind of music. I dont know what happened to the music today. It sure doesnt have the quality that it once had.

  • @Vhdiesintheend better than gangsterrap ;=)

  • @Vhdiesintheend heck ya! american 1960s folk music like this is the best (i'm 25!)

  • @Vhdiesintheend haha me too... i am 14. :) i have awesome parents too.

  • @Vhdiesintheend More like you have awesome grandparents !!! Love it !!!

  • 30 people need to buy a hammer! How can you dislike this song!

  • Everyone is suffering these days.... way to go those that are occupying wall street... i think a bunch of us old hippies ought to join em and show em how it's done!!

  • i have a sickle ... those that help?

  • Wow! This song is so amazing. It is very meaningful and invigorating. Mary Travers is so cool. More and more I aquire interest in the oldies music. It is great stuff.

  • seriously now, i've listened to this version again and i must say that it's an insult of trini lopez' version. they made an average song out of it that masterpiece

  • OCCUPY THE WALL STREET MOVEMENT- MY THEME SONG FOR IT AND MY PROTEST POSTER. SOME OF US OLDER PEOPLE MAY NOT BE STRUGGLING BUT SOME OTHERS ARE- AND SO ARE THE YOUNG. I AM DOING IT FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND!

  • @REBEKAHMAJORSMANLEY HAHA thats crazy you say this cuz I was just at my moms house and I was on her computer and I asked her if she remembers this song and she said that the 99% thing that is going on reminds her of these guys. I remember when I was a kid at camp back in the mid 70s we used to sing all of these songs. I live in Boca Raton Fla do you know where I can meet up with some people who are 99% ers? I would like to make my voice heard! Im so sick of the Rich gettin Richer at my expence!

  • @REBEKAHMAJORSMANLEY Those people out there don't even know what they're protesting for. I'm a Peter, Paul, and Mary fan... I love the Beatles, Mamas and the Papas, and John Denver, Joan Beaz, but just because they're famous doesn't mean they have the slightest clue about politics, they were pushing some pretty terrible stuff. Capitilism works. Its work for hundreds of years. Socialism and Communism does NOT! So instead I say a prayer at night for my country, rather than trying to destroy it.

  • Music is made to be enjoyed. Nobody's trying to push anything on you. If you don't like a song, then turn it off. If you do like it, then play it loud. Any other meaning you want to attach to it is strictly your own and has nothing to do with anyone else.

  • @emmalou11235 You poor poor simpleton, they aren't trying to destroy your country, there is no evidence of THAT, they're protesting to improve it. Look around, every facet of our economy and culture has been poisoned by the corrupt politicians and their CORPORATE masters. It's called FASCISM. Turn off the FOX !

  • @emmalou11235 The occupy protesters made it clear that they were protesting to get rid of money in politics, which is a very good cause. They are not protesting for communism or socialism, just that everyone pays their fair share, including those fat cats on wall street. Whatever you've heard about the Occupy protests from the Right wing media is completely false. There were no communists, drug addicts, rapists, or violence coming from the occupy protests. The only violence came from the police

  • @emonatelli What you describe is socialism. And it is doomed to fail. History has shown that time and time again.

  • This was the first song I learned on acoustic guitar,, I was ten......good memories!

  • Her passion for articulating her connectivity to the one and only ecology of the spirit is timeless. She weeds out hate to listening, feeling souls throughout the world.

  • You can really hear Mary's voice here Clear, Soft, Powerfull ans so melodic...Your Dynamite Mary Travers, Your spirit now and what a great Spirit you are....

  • 27 People Need To Buy A Hammer!

  • RIP peace to al

  • This song reminds me of Sylvia Antionette "Toni" Barnes. She was Mary's twin. I miss both of them soooo much. Rest in Peace Toni, and Mary....you've both earned it.

  • LOVE Mary Travers here, just amazing to hear & watch.....thanks for sharing

  • I couldn't have been more than 13 or 14 when they were singing and the first time I saw Mary, I thought I'd run through hell with my draws soaked in gasoline just to sit beside her..

  • Mary Travers is absolutely mesmerizing in this.

  • if i had a hammer i be Arthur Mitchell :P

  • My friends and I used to sing this in grammar school on the playground.

  • RIP Mary Travers...

  • They were superb live.

    The entire documentary of the Newport Folk Festival is amazing, actually. If it weren't a film, I'd call it the best concert in my life.

  • I just randomly searched this song, I sang this song in a concert during elementary school and had just recently remember it. I remember all the lyrics after ten years.

  • cant hear paul -.-

  • Mary was sooooooooooo HOT!

  • The way people had twisted words these days, this song now is just being hilarious.

  • @amritulja ... of course the words would be hilarious, to an unsophistocated, uneducated mind.

  • @Samantha30090 hahaha not exactly what i had in mind, but thank you.

  • @amritulja ... you're quite welcome !

  • God bless America =]

  • 26 people didnt have a hammer

  • Mary...an Angel on Earth...now an Angel in the sky....

  • 素晴らしい歌ですね!

    もっと多くの人にこの歌を知っていただきたい、切にそう思います­。

    Maryさん、若くて勢いがありますね。強いメッセージ性と暗示­性をもったプロテストソングの傑作だと思います。

  • Peter paul minus Mary at Evergreen State Fair Aug 29 Monroe WA. Can't get my dang kids to see them with me though. I'm as conservative as they come, but gad this stuff is good.

  • This is a rip off from Claude Francois, the French singer, but it's still good.

  • @ramooon1982 claude francois recorded his cover of "if i had a hammer" a year after PP&M. both are covers, however, as the song was written by pete seeger (and he recorded it with the weavers in 1949).

  • @superpezgirl ohhh my bad :/ good to know, this song is incredibly old !

  • @superpezgirl he Claude Francois version has been a staple of French music as much if not more than the English version in the US. Maybe because CF was such a huge star in the French world, but you can still see at least one clip of him doing this number on French TV and hear the song to this day on French radio. Tres impressionant!

  • Mary was a babe

    

  • I'm pretty sure Mary Travers has been reincarnated as one of the Pierce sisters.

  • no way we r doing this for our school play

  • świetne :*

  • This song is no less relevant today, nearly 60 years later than it was when Pete Seager wrote it.And, it takes courage to sing, something which Peter, Paul & Mary had no short supply of.

  • Why 24 people deslike it?

  • if she's looking for a hammer, i could lend her mine. ARRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @doreler stupid!!!

  • @doreler stupid, stupid stupid!!! Wow!!! How can people be so low!?!? One day you (may) grow older. I suggest you come back here and see how you where, and how you've contributed to the world you're living on. Stupid!!!

  • Thanks PP&M!

    Hare Krishna!

  • @doreler and the bells too ;)

  • @doreler HAHAHA xD

  • Thank you!

  • Where was this concert at?

  • @Fleckeinstein

    This was at the Newport Folk Festival.

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • Incomparablel!

  • I freaking love this song. I totally haven't listened to them in a few years!!

  • Thanks!

  • @ Chibiicap no your not i do that to

  • Peter, Paul and Mary.. she`s not a virgin, right?

  • I think she is high.

  • Honestly who comes to this video to dislike it? I feel like you have to specifically look up this song. What a bunch of idiots.

  • @MultiDreamState Agreed

  • @MultiDreamState And who dislikes the hammer of justice and the bell of freedom? I mean really....

  • @MultiDreamState AMEN! Let's Hammer and Sickle everywhere ha ha

  • Mary, I love you , and everlasting rest.

  • 21 people dont have a hammer

  • This song is 4 my Mam R.I.P xx

  • just can't change that embed hate right alex. Come time to visit the pearly gates some of us will have a whole lot of explaining to do. others will walk right through.

    alex can only hope it's not 900 pound mary whose guarding the gates.

    sing mary sing

  • Goodness, this makes me miss Mary Travers even more! T_T

    R.I.P Mary, you're probably out doing the angels! XD

  • Best song evaaaaaa!!!

  • puuuuh....her head shaking.....

  • @shawnasainnichols i like it and i'm 18... sorry i don't qualify :(

  • how depressing to see how the dreams of a genaration have come to nothing.............( unless of course you are a neo con bible basher,islamic fundamentalist,orthadox jew,or any of another of the billion or so despots who want to impose their will upon you,then its pretty cool!)

  • @eddietwang  Well said!

  • @eddietwang Unlike those who complain about how everyone else is screwed up and they, themselves are just perfect. Quit bitching and do something about it. Don't want to believe in any religion,that's your right. Just quit bitching about those that want to believe. Oh and remember that ALL those who believe in Islam are terrorists, ALL those who believe inChristianity are a bunch of hipocritical self righteous elitists and ALLorthadox jews are plain wrong. What a dick. Quit crying you baby.

  • @bikecopjoe..me and you live in very different worlds my friend.l dont begrudge anyone who has a belief or faith in any religion.and l would not enforce my athiest views on anyone else..sadly you are a shining example of why there will never be peace on earth,l bet you flunked out in biology and you probably dont belive in charles darwin?..am l right?...thought so!..what are your thoughts on the vastness of space and the universe?..thought so..no fucking idea!..

  • @bikecopjoe peter,paul and mary sang of a need to change,a need to embrace each other..the only way we will survive on this planet is to work together..you and your idiot friends on the other hand think your life is some kind of test that depending how virtuos/ hypocritical you have been will see you end up in heaven or hell!!

  • like this if your 17 and under and you love this song.

  • this gives makes me think of when i was a kid in our car at night going to our cabin and this song would be on and no one on the car ever said anything

  • sooo beautiful

  • Lovely song!

  • Mary is so powerful on this song she makes me cry...with happiness...

  • R I P Mary ... this song will never be sung this way again, without you.

  • Why does she keep shaking her head? Is her hair getting in her face? Maybe she should have worn a hair band when she performed. Oh well......

  • if my had a hammer, my would smah it on the vivisectors, furriers, poachers, dealers, cagers--100 hundred others.

  • this comes to mind when i have a hammer moment at work. great song though.

  • Perfect harmony.

  • Wonderful

  • She was beautiful

  • Am i the only one who gets this song stuck in their head when they are looking for a hammer for one reason or another? o.0

  • @Chibiicap If I had a haaaaaAAAmmer... i wouldnt be looking for one, i might even be done, theni could stop getting this soooon stuck in my head!

  • @Chibiicap I hope you realize this song is about much more than wishing to have a hammer

  • @matthewpuro

    oh of course, but it still doesn't change the fact that it always gets stuck in my head when i literally need a hammer LOL

  • @Chibiicap Yes u are

  • @EASTxCOASTxOVERDOSE

    you make no sense o.0

  • @Chibiicap nope i am

  • @Chibiicap No, my shop teacher used to sing this when he'd be looking for a hammer. Can't help but do the same thing since it's a fond memory :D

    Now if you were beaten with a hammer I could see this song causing serious psychological trauma.

  • @Chibiicap Funny  THAT is exactly why I searched for this video!!!!

  • @Chibiicap no i do the same thing lol.I sang it one time in front of my boyfriend and he never heard of the song and looked at me funny

  • @Chibiicap No. You're not. I get this song stuck in my head when I wish I had a hammer, and at various other times.

  • @Chibiicap Not at all.....

  • @Chibiicap jason too

  • @Chibiicap Try looking for a bell the very same day! That happened once to me...and it shook me up something awful.

  • @Chibiicap  Yep, you're the only one....

  • @Chibiicap Uhm... nope.

  • @volarecantate Believe me if i got to choose the name it would not be that lol. It was my friends old account from when he was young. Just never bothered to make my own.

  • Happy birthday Peter. Once again, thanks for the legendary music.

  • Not only do I love the way Mary Traver's sings, I wish that I had hair I could toss like that!
