There are nearly three dozen tunes (or parts of tunes) here, ranging from "Lemon Tree" in 1962 to several new performances from '03. And while their earlier music now sounds somewhat tame, even quaint (or, in the case of "Puff the Magic Dragon," cringe-inducing), at the time, Peter, Paul and Mary's pro-civil rights, anti-Vietnam War stances were considered rather radical, helping pave the way for Bob Dylan (whose "Blowin' in the Wind" they performed at the same '63 rally in Washington, D.C. where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I have a dream" speech) and the evolution of pop music's social conscience. These days, they've found a niche performing for kids and making programs for PBS (it's the perfect match). And while they may have lost their hair and their figures, Peter, Paul and Mary remain as committed as ever to making music that provokes, inspires, and entertains. Carry It On indeed. --Sam Graham Product Description: First-ever DVD from this award-winning group features vintage concert clips including "The Times They Are a Changin," "Blowin in the Wind," and "Puff the Magic Dragon." Traces the early days of the folk movement through archival and current interview footage and historical anecdotes. Supported by a March 2004 PBS pledge drive TV special. ? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - AmazingThis CD is the very best story of Peter Paul and Mary's history and philosophy. It captures the highlights through the years, with stories behind the songs and events. I plan on sharing it with my grandchildren as a way to understand how special and amazing PP&M were and ARE. Rating: - Peter, Paul and MaryWonderful DVD. I learned much about a great group! Enjoyed the songs slected for the DVD as well as the scenes they selected. Rating: - What a history!Peter Paul & Mary have always been great. This shows how much so. They have always been at the forefront of social justice. This is like a musical history lesson! Rating:  - Don't buy the VHS versionBesides not living up to the quality of content found in their other videos (like Lifelines), the sound quality of the VHS version was unbearably BAD (as in unlistenable)!I recorderd my own version from a PBS airing, on a $49 VHS machine that was far superior to the complete garbage that was sent to me, when I ordered this tape. I really should return it to the seller! Rating: - Where have all the good old timers gone?As the title suggests, the film was produced in 2004 and so it includes some recent performances with some other artists. What came as a big surprise to me was seeing some members of the Weavers, some sang with them, and Pete Seeger who spoke and evaluated them so fairly. If you haven't heard much of Peter, Paul and Mary, this DVD will give you almost a full taste of each of them, as each sings a number of solo songs by their own other than group singing. Here you will discover that ... Read More |
