5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful tribute to Mary Travers, March 9, 2010

A beautiful tribute to the memory of Mary Travers. A lovely album cover choice too with Mary obviously post diagnosis and treatment looking seemingly happy, cosy and content with her musical partners of almost 50 years. Such a fitting image. Peter, Paul and Mary had a wonderful association with Australia with concert tours, TV Specials and of course their album sales. My final memory of Mary and indeed Peter, Paul and Mary is an open air concert that was held near Bowral in the New South Wales Southern Highlands in December 1997. Mary was delighted and kept pointing during the performances at the wild kangaroos and wallabies bounding about in the surrounding fields. I still can't get used to the fact that Mary is gone. We are blessed by this well thought of and fitting release and the extraordinary, essential and important musical legacy of Peter, Paul and Mary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Paul and Mary in some of their best performances, March 16, 2010

I absolutely love this recording. It's both lovely and sad but truly a moving tribute and a great recording from three people whose music has shaped my life over the years. I grew up listening to Peter Paul and Mary. I heard them in concert the first time when I was in High School. A lot of years have passed since that first concert I went to but the memories never faded. The electricity when the houselights went down and the spotlight picked them up running to the stage and when they started to sing it was a life changing experience for me. I'd always loved the recordings and this latest recording being recorded from live performances captures some of that magic.

This album is the culmination of 50 years of dedication to a style of music, and an ideal that music can be a tool to express or hope and concerns, and facilitate change. What did the sixties bring us? That idea, and it's an idea that worked and continues to work. Governments can't ignore our wishes when they are expressed everyday in our art, music, and poetry, it's there in their face, on the radio and on T.V., at least it was, today we don't do that and look at the result! Greed and corruption has bankrupted this country and our voices are meaningless at best. Jefferson believed that we must always keep that radical spirit that drove the revolution so that the U.S. government he helped to create never got too big for it's britches. Musicians like Peter, Paul, and Mary have continued to remind us that we have to make our voices heard, and our music is a powerful way to do that. Thank God for people like this and I can assure you there are very few like them to step up when they are gone, the music business has seen to that. This is an excellent CD, a tribute to three great Americans, two living and one now sadly gone, who've dedicated their lives and careers for a better country and a better life for all of us.
