Peter, Paul and Mary
One of the things the public broadcasting stations do as part of their begging you for money is to show taped concerts. I was watching PP&M in concert at Montery on one of our public stations. I think in college I thought they were really cool, but watching this I'm wondering if it was just an expectation in the early 70's on campus to like them. Anyway, watching them last night, I thought it was the kind of thing that about a million people could have done as well. They just didn't seem original.
Listen to Gallows Tree from Led Zeppelin and PP&M, or compare their version of Blowin' in the Wind to Dylan.
The best part of the special was when Joan Baez joined Peter Yarrow on some old folk song.
What do people think. Great band or a waste of time to listen to?

Isn't it Gallow's Pole?
Anyhow, Puff the Magic Dragon. That about sums up their audience.
"Whoa dude, these guys are just so smooth. Yeah man, mellow. Yeah. Hey , don't bogart that man"
They always sucked, and I never had any inhibitions when it came to Puff.

their rendition of Puff The Magic Dragon remains a childhood favorite. How well they performed alongside the virtuoso's is somewhat unfair as they should never have ascribed to the Tom Joad genre.

They were a good folk act that made it big. I liked their version of "Jet Plane". John Denver wrote the song and his version is better, but PP&M usually get the credit.

 I didn't make that connection until you mentioned it.
