Peter, Paul and Mary continue their folk music magic for children and their families. This live performance from their PBS television special features the Trio's delightful and heartfelt renditions of such classics as "The Eddystone Light," "The Fox," We Shall Overcome," and (of course!) "Puff the Magic Dragon."Recorded at Majestic Theatre, Brooklyn, New York, this wonderful concert will delight young and old alike. Refreshingly alive and vibrant, the Trio perform some of their finest folk songs to the delight of their live audience of youngsters from the Little Red Schoolhouse, Brooklyn, New York (who participate in most of the songs) and their families.I cannot recommend this video enough, and strongly recommend the CD soundtrack as well!

I first saw this on PBS when my boy was 3 months old and was astonished that it could captivate his attention for over an hour! I immediately bought the video and over six months later he watches it in FULL almost every day. Nothing can distract him. The combination of the beautiful harmonies, amazing songs and funny faces holds his attention like nothing else. Forget Baby Einstein. This is much more fun and inspiring. And what's more is that I'm still enjoying it.

There is something for everyone on this wonderful video. Nostalgia and great music for those of us who grew up in the 60s, yet at the same time good clean entertainment for children, presented in a very positive, thoughtful, loving way. PP and M have aged gracefully and their kind and soft qualities make them great communicators with children, and what's more, while Mary Travers' voice is a bit harsh now, they can still sing and harmonize very very well indeed.

I was just a teenager when this program aired on PBS in 1993. Even at that age I truly enjoyed the music and wonderful performance given by P, P & M. As I was pondering what music from my childhood I wanted to share with my young child, I couldn't help but remember this performance. He is 19 months old and is captivated by the music and childlike emotion of the group. I feel so good about the message sent by this show that I allow him to watch a little almost every day. I know the message sent by their music will inspire and entertain him now and for years to come.

My wife and I ( children of the 60's) first saw this program during a PBS fund drive in 1993. It was so enjoyable/moving we ordered a copy for our grandaughter and her family. We continue to enjoy it today in 1999.

This is such a good video - a wonderful concert with Peter, Paul and Mary with a very engaged and interested audience consisting of schoolchildren and their parents. I first saw this on TV when it was brand new, in 1993. It was on a public channel which was very good, I just forgot the name of it. Now when I watched it again it was just as good as I remembered it!

magnifique : cette video est pleine de coeur , pleine de joie , pleine de bonheur . Peter , Paul and Mary sont pleins du immense " humanité ".
