[rexrockandroll]

THIS LAND IS FOR THE UPPER CLASS WHO RULE , EXPLOIT US AND TREAT US LIKE SHIT..SO AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS SONG, FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS....ITS THE LAND OF THE UPPER 2% WHO OWN US...AMERICANS ARE TOO FU..ING STUPID TO REALIZE THAT....A PAYCHECK MAKES THEM HAPPY, BUT DONT REALIZE THE EXPLOITATION AND B.S. THE RICH GET AWAY WITH ...KILL THEM ALL..THEY ARE LIKE CANCER TO THIS SOCIETY...pete..long island...

[Lddy]

I love Woody Guthrie. This is perhaps the worst version I have ever seen of this epic song.

[4422Alison]

anyone no matter who, if you had the NERVE to dislike this song because your all into rock and pop, so am i. But i liked it. Because I have respect. Not to mention taste and BRAINS... :(.

[BonbondeParis]

I think this should be the official anthem of the OWS movement! I'm sharing it with all my friends!

[disposedsoul]

Dose anyone know what this concert was called and what year it was filmed??

[juliaz12345]

It's official. Every single Peter, Paul and Mary song makes me cry.

[disposedsoul]

@juliaz12345 likewise! So many memories to go along with the songs and videos!!

[thundermaster41]

It is sad that most Americans can't even sing the national Anthem let a lone this land is your land, We really look at our roots and remember our patriotic songs

[777Atheist]

@thundermaster41 This is not a Patriotic song, this song is a protest song against Capitalism.

[AdoreTu]

AMEN!

[alonzomourning33]

9/11/01, may we never forget. Be it tonight at the tenth anniversary, ten years from now, and so on. We must continue the legacy that Mary Travers left us with and carry on this legendary music, because it's so much more than entertaining music. It was, is, and will always be a symbol of hope, peace, justice, liberty, and freedom. If we don't, the answer will still be blowin' in the wind. May we carry on the legacy of Peter, Paul, and Mary to continue to work towards a world of peace! RIP Mary

Two years ago, Mary left. Her disease lasted for 10 years.

One of the last appearance was another monument :

"Where have all the flowers gone" with Pete Seeger !

Poor Mary, so painful. Thank you for all.

[michlef]

Fantastic video ! This is just a Monument !

Mary had already the stimats of cortisone, she has been a model of courage.

Beautiful Mary RIP !

The group at his best ... thank you for this !

[cschoon1213]

@michlef

My pleasure and you are very welcome!

[zanlpn]

Timeless beauty and message!!

[roxiesmom1000]

My favorite Peter,Paul&Mary song ever



[KaisaLisa]

How awful the audience looks, absolutely conservative. I 'm sure they don't understand any of the contents of the songs of PPM

[cmaglaughlin]

@KaisaLisa -What an ignorant comment. You have a lot of growing up to do. If you're a "liberal," I'd be embarrassed to be so narrow minded. Drawing conclusions from appearances that constitute a second or two camera shot only shows how warped your own state of mind is! Name tags are for followers, not leaders.

[Silentsenior09]

"Oh, and it still is." xD Nice.

[caitimacd]

I grew up in the 60s & early 70s, listening to Peter Paul & Mary. Today I enjoy their music as much if not more than I did then. They sang of Peace, & Love, something we do not have nearly enough of in this world!

Caiti

[cschoon1213]

@ caitimacd, Me too. I grew up during the same time period and listened to them and still do and love them as much now as way back then. I am with you !

[fantabulousK]

You know it's the damndest thing I'm as Canadian as maple syrup and this song still just gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling. It's like if everyone loved each other enough to just share everything.. I don't even know where I'm going with this but it's just nice.

[jimtraner]

@fantabulousK I remember being up in the Northern Rockies around Jasper and listening to the young kids sing this song with a Canadian version. I thought it was very cool even though I was a Yank just passing through.

[meg28781]

There will never be another group like this. I loved to watch Mary sing. You could tell she really felt what she was singing ... sure miss her.

[tenyra]

Mary has gained some weight...but,when you are as special and as beautiful as she was,you never noticed..that is REAL beauty.

[L1S91]

Timeless...R.I.P. Mary Travers

[AliceMarr]

God bless Miss Mary.

[brthekid456]

i got a chance to meet peter yarrow he was entertainment for the opening of blockbuster i even got a picture with i was 3 years old i'm now 21 and went to a concert on saturday and had that picture signed

[FlakVest]

It was mid summer of 1967, and I was a Marine stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. PPM performed at the Hiroshima prefectural gym and Special Services had an extra ticket so, since my lady was visiting her parents before she began a new life in America with me, I went to see them. I ended up in the parking lot beside Peter Yarrow translating for the girls that wanted 'sepun' ... a kiss, and helping keep the kids in order as Peter reveled in signing autographs. It was a special moment in my life. RIP M.

[sandinmyears1]

I want to join in.

[jbertone09]

I am so jealous that you folks got to see them in concert! I have always loved Peter, Paul and Mary so much.

[jimtraner]

@jbertone09 I saw PP & M at a small gym at Central WA College in Ellensburg, WA in 1964. i fell in love with Mary. I didn't know I'd be in Vietnam a few years later.

[TheTCCase]

"...Oh and it still is." Aint that the truth. Your words carry on Mary Travers.

[JDMSful]

suuuuuuure i like!!!!!!!!

[condorcito99]

Una de las mas hermosas y sentimentales canciones americanas. Muchos imigrantes como yo, la abrazamos y la queremos. Este grupo ha rayado muchos corazones con compasion y amor. ¡Gracias PP&M!.

[wisdommdk]

Yea we miss Mary. the best

[cphanna51]

Sloopy, I appreciate your remarks and heart felt emotion. I was a teenager when I first discovered PP and M and spent my meager allowance towards my first album. Now I'm closing in on 60 and I think they were just such fine performers that gave us inspiration, hope, and a sense that the world could be good.

[trumpetSL08]

Wow this version brings tears to my eyes. LOVE IT!!!

[sloopy312]

I am crying now. I had the honor of listening to Peter and joining him in song with many others-young and old, we were one and full of hope. Later I talked to Peter about Nam and how their songs brought us peace. I thanked him for the song he sang against prejudice to any group including gays. We talked about the suicidal gay youth I work with in trying to help them understand their significance. We huged, pictures were taken. It is one of my most cherished possessions. God bless you P,P, and M.

[cschoon1213]

@ sloopy312,

Wow ! That is great that you got to meet Peter Yarrow !

I met Paul Stookey briefly in a small children's bookstore where he was playing children's songs. Got to talk to him a bit and shake his hand.

[orangefrog4]

@sloopy312 i mhad the great luck of seeing 6 concerts and hugs and pic also..i remember mary pulling me aside and telling me a secret her hugs were the best.G - D bless her

[crete484]

@sloopy312 lucky you wish i could of givin you hug too

[deiloh]

So thankful for Peter and Paul's recent support for equality! Mary would have agreed.

[stuartarticles]

Terrific, and a great redition of a great tune.

[littleservant1]

TIMELESSLY BEAUTIFUL!

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

perfect!

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

perfect!

[50Emerald]

If this performance doesn't give you goosebumps, see your doctor *immediately*...

[vampireapple666]

when did Mary die? I didn't hear about this!

[bratrat]

If this song doesn't get you moving, check your pulse...

RIP, Mary- you'll be missed.

[XRosexDimitriX]

I never got to see PP and M live but I listened to them as a child and they were my favorite thing to listen to. RIP wonderful Mary!

[earlnightengale2]

By the way _ these guys were one of THE TOP acts of the 60's - with THREE Top 10 albums in 1963!

[rkolker]

This looks like a Christmas Concert. It was special, but every PP&M concert I saw was special. This Land was their encore, with the audience singing out loud enough for Woody to hear. The last time I saw them was at Wolf Trap a couple of years ago. Mary was sick, but her voice was all there.

[cschoon1213]

Yeah. They played at Wolf Trap at least a couple of times over the years that I recall. I live in northern Virginia right near Wolf Trap out on Route 7.

[Brighde422]

@rkolker This was their Holiday concert with the New York Choral Society somewhere around '89 or '90. I grew up watching this concert on VHS year-round. :)

[anniekate76]

@Brighde422 Me too! I loved the PBS specials! :)

[thexluckyxducky]

i love this song :D america rules :D

[cschoon1213]

Yes !!!

[qobe7]

rip mary

[dragonlcw]

Great Song

[HelioJenne]

The music has lost one of its great voices.

[hilopup]

The world was a better place with her in it.

[Shorty5959]

@hilopup  I agree.

[kiwimac]

Rest well Mary
