Thanks Clairedelune for being there to capture this on video.
Peter Yarrow has always been a big hero of mine and his choice of song here is powerful. Gosh I recall him singing a wonderful song years ago about Ireland and it's troubles (I am from Belfast, NI) perfectly summing up the problems with the line 'It's long memories and short tempers that has cursed old Ireland".
I am gonna go and watch some of the other clips now, Pete Seeger first. Cheers.

There is something special about the way the singers and musicians look at each other as though they were watching as the audience. I also like the way Peter Yarrow slips in and out of the melody to converse with the audience. Even the video maker's voice lend something to the watching. i'd love to hold a conversation with Peter but I'm not sure I'd get a word in but who cares! Thanks for posting this.
