    So sad to watch this video and see the innocence of the pre-Vietnam war, pre Kennedy assassination, young people. A lot of beauty and idealism. Made me cry.

    best version of this song !!! I get goosebumps by watching and hearing this. Especially when the young audience are joining them singing and watching all young people. and in addition the lyrics having in mind „our good times are all gone…“ that most of them are about 80 years or already gone to heaven. bringing tears to me….

    A wonderful version of Ian Tyson's first song. Of course, no song hurts for Dick's beautiful voice and the harmonies of the B4. RIP Ian.

    Thank you for uploading a precious and rare video.
    I heard this song was about the lonliness of seasonal workers in the rural area in the US,
    but it meant much more than me. It was a song of good-old-day America with full of hopes and dreams,
    and I used to love and admire such a wonderful country !

      A Canadian, Ian Tyson wrote it about a breakup and leaving to go to Alberta Canada. Others have admired this song and covered it including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and John Denver to name a few. Btw the writer was friends with Bob Dylon who had just written Blowing in the wind.

    While I'm listening to Dick Foley and this wonderful rendition, I look at the students in the audience and wonder what happened to them? They are just a couple of years older than I. How many boys ended up in Viet Nam and how many didn't make it home? How many were taken by drugs? How did the women with their degrees fare? How many are still with us (they are all in their mid to late 70s now). How did their lives pan out - as they dreamed or better or worse?

      @papagreenemusic 6 років тому +7

      Yes, it's the way an audience could sit still like that, huddled together in silent appreciation of every delicate nuance of the music, & sing along peacefully like a choir which is a microcosm of all mankind.
      And I can still clearly recall sitting around the campfire at summer camp in the later '60's, singing along together as our counselors strummed "Four Strong Winds", "Dona Dona", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", & other timeless folk songs of a caliber that no longer exists.
      I can also recall seeing/hearing the Grateful Dead in concert in 1973, with a roomful of 7,000 happy hippies celebrating the music together in such a peaceful, settled, harmonious way that just doesn't happen now.
      Somewhere around the inception of MTV was the time when audiences began to lose their concentration & respect for music.

      I attended UCLA 1968-1978. The Vietnam war draft changed a lot of things.
      There are audiences of various age groups who do sit and listen and pay attention. There are disruptive audience members of various ages who provide their own soundtrack.
