I originally bought the video of this for my mother. Now it is my 7 yr. olds favorite video. She knows all the songs and we sing and dance whenever it is on. I am getting the CD to listen too when we are in the car. It is the favorite of 3 generations in my family!

This disc/casette and VHS was originally intended for children. It was recorded live in front of some school children for the Little Red School House in NYC. The younger audience keeps the whole thing lively and entertaining. However, it's music everyone can enjoy, not just kids.

The music format is part folk, part kids, and all fun. The children's music (Puff the Magic Dragon, The Fox, and Right Field) put Peter, Paul, & Mary on the kids'level. On the other hand, songs like Home on the Range and We shall overcome introduce the children to the whole folk music scene.

My only complaint is this. The disc is oever 70 minutes long, which is good. But, the video is 90 minutes long. I wish the disc had a few more songs that are on the video edition. This complaint is only a minor one. I think this live performance will bring out the kid in you, no matter how old you are.

I have watched my video of this concert over 50 times with my kids and I stll cry at 3 of the songs. I want it on DVD so I can give it to every parent I know. Those of you with the CD are missing 1/2 the joy of this show. The footage of comic storytelling through music, fun instruments, and families hugging and singing together is priceless. I would pay three times as much if I could only find it in DVD format.

My 37 year old daughter and her husband are having their first child - a girl. My daughter requested this CD because she remembers me singing these songs to her when she was little. What better tribute could Peter, Paul, and Mary have?

Fun for all ages. Even the lyrics of "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" have been revised to be gentler.

The performances here are especially ballad-like, so if you are looking to rock out, look elsewhere.

My 2 year old and I Love, Love, Love this CD! The folksy songs are enjoyable and can be repayed over agian without becomming annoying.

I have always loved this album I have worn out two cassettes and one CD for me it takes me back to my childhood. It's happy catchy and teaches some wonderful messages of tolerance for the kids to learn from.

The selection of songs on this album is not as good as the first Peater Paul and Mommy, and neither is the recording. My daughter prefers other PP&M (regular) albums to this one.

This CD was good but not half as good as the first one, "Peter Paul and Mommy". Peter, Paul and Mary are legends and anything they sing is great! I can't wait until my son is old enough to appreciate this music more.

This was not what I believed it to be. I was looking for the video of the concert.
