Peter, Paul and Mary were an inspiration for me from my Naval training during the summer of 1963 through my patrols across the Pacific and in Vietnam 1964 -1965. Their songs helped give meaning to life during difficult times.
A few thoughts: Wish I could have been there, tho’ I was living across the country and was only 10 years old at this time. A few years before, my family was invited to some sort of get together after church. All of a sudden, the grownups started getting very excited and clustered around a record player. Sure enough, we were hearing PPM circa 1961 or so. When I was in HS, I taught myself to play folk guitar and learned these songs. We need to bring all of these protest songs back because our country needs to come back together, make positive change re climate change, race relations, kindness towards one another. I’m learning guitar again during Covid time. My rusty fingers don’t want to shape the chords reliably, but I’m persistent. Everyone stay well and safe.
Too many tears, and too many memories when I listened this oldest version of the song. Time gone, like the wind, take, took and taken so much happening in the world...
John 3:8 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[a]
Its probably also for practical purposes as Peter and Paul have to hold guitars. And for the aesthetic reason of symmetry. When she makes that beautiful sound that it springs forth not from off the side but from the center.
I had the privilege to attended the March on Washington as a participant in summer camp programs sponsored by the World Council of Churches, and the civil rights movement. This was my first time in America (from Germany), and I had no idea at that time, what a historical day this really was. The powerful spirit of that day, climaxed by Dr. MLK's electrifying "Dream"-speech, Peter, Paul and Mary"s "Blowing in the Wind", Mahalia Jackson ("How I got Over") and many other presentations, have accompanied my life to this day. May this, as well as all the other videos about the March on Washington remain available to the public FOREVER!
I'm very grateful Bob Dylan wrote this song, and P, P & M gave it wings. It mightily shaped my consciousness in the 60's! Sadly that "answer" is still elusive, perhaps more so now than it seemed then. The cannon balls (well, missiles now) still fly, oppression is on the run, but making a mighty last stand. People are freer now, but freedom has evolved into the push for universal healthcare. The movement toward a more perfect nation is being resisted by the powerful, and the ignorant. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Mary i still look for your songs under peter paul n mary. i hope the guys and you are still living, i thought they were great guitarists but you brought the bit that was needed. An old fashioned diehard
This song, this version, defined them for me. Made a conscience I have always kept, for I was young, and it was forming. Mary was at her most beautiful and most militant at this very moment, and she was transcendantly beautiful, to a guy not fond of blondes. These folks helped define the best of our generation, and while we are rightly condemned for many things, our music was unparalleled. As were its aspirations, however unfulfilled.

Why, so that you would get your ass beaten and wish you were born in the future. Be grateful for being born later and make a difference in peoples lives. They were responsible for the kids in the 80's and 90's who got to go to college and have more opportunities.Then the 80's and 90's generations are fighting the 2000's young generation because they don't want to give up there authority to younger persons. Life isn't supposed to be selfish. Everyone is here for a time and does things for a time. It ends and another chapter begins.

They were inspirational and wonderful and I have really just discovered them. The cycle has come round again and this precarious world, with dangerous clowns in charge everywhere, needs the beauty and truthfulness of their message and their music. They have so much to sing, to play, to say to us today.
So many people had such high hopes that things would improve in America, but instead... American continued to go downhill. Just look at what all is happening in America in September 2020.
The questions I have remind me of how apathetic Trump was to this covid pandemic and the death toll. Threequestions from the song remind me of his indifference to the suffering of our people and death toll and him looking the other way; questions like “how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?” “How many ears must one have before he can hear people cry?” and “How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?”
I can't watch this without crying. Back when we thought everything in our country was going to be OK.
Music is the bridge for harmony across every continent, even Antarctica
Bravo
Peter, Paul and Mary were an inspiration for me from my Naval training during the summer of 1963 through my patrols across the Pacific and in Vietnam 1964 -1965. Their songs helped give meaning to life during difficult times.
And yet here we are, sixty years later, and the world is falling apart even worse than it was back then...
This song still rings true today with Russias invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Too many tears, and too many memories when I listened this oldest version of the song. Time gone, like the wind, take, took and taken so much happening in the world...
I was a soldier in the DC National Guard - and was assigned to the Ellipse, while PP&L were there. It was a great moment.
Peter Paul & Larry?
@@wade727nelson sorry
My sweet heart,
Beautiful Mary!

I like that Peter & Paul face each other, which in a way gives Mary 'respect' and more center of attention

Walter J. Baumgaertel Too bad the old memories our elders tell us are often forgotten by the young all too quickly.

Epic! I still feel electricity and exhilaration when I watch this. So happy I got to see them live.
So many ponderable questions asked by the great folk singer Bob Dylan in this great song sung by Peter, Paul and Mary group. Awesome.
Mary i still look for your songs under peter paul n mary. i hope the guys and you are still living, i thought they were great guitarists but you brought the bit that was needed. An old fashioned diehard
Mary died of leukemia in 2009...RIP...
Beautiful, profound song that was a product of it's time that still contains significance even today in 2020 as it did in 1963 when I was a baby.
This song, this version, defined them for me. Made a conscience I have always kept, for I was young, and it was forming.

What happened to the people in power, greed, afraid, or losing power?
@@eileencleveland4548 They are still in power. Having been drafted into the marines during Vietnam I learned a long time ago that the rest of us are just dust between their feet.
they were brilliant singers and could preform anywhere even without a sound system and sound better then the album
Very nice. A great moment. But there is one name missing from this---the name of the guy who wrote the song: Bob Dylan.
today marks 51 years since they sang that song just before Martin Luther King Jr. gave his I HAVE A DREAM speech.
I hope the answers will blow out that Dumpster out of Washington forever!
I love this song. They sung in my school once when I was a little girl. I loved them ever since.
I love Mary.
Beautiful, we could use this about now, society needs this!!!!
mary you were all brilliant
Sono dei Grandi che hanno fatto la Storia 👏 Grazie Peter 😎
The sad thing is that this generation was supposed to solve the worlds problems and yet here we are.
Wonderful clip, many thanks! :)

So Great, So Effective really evoked Social Change Thanks for posting this great example which should not be forgotten
They could sing anywhere. Even with inferior P A system. Those voice were like vocal trapeze artist.
Wish I'd been alive then, was born late '60's...

Cuántos años puede existir una montaña,

antes de que él se de cuenta,
de que ha muerto demasiada gente.

Mary had the voice, too bad she had weight problems. We saw Mary at the Circle Star in San Frisco California. She was beautiful.
She gained weight from steroids due to cancer. But she trimmed down at at concert I saw them in 2006. I saw them in the early 60’s and feel privileged
This is beautiful
the message is there . however nothing has changed.
Just beautiful

I always wonder how many FBI agents, and undercover police were at this event.
