Ronnie Gilbert is the most underrated member of the Weavers. She was to the Weavers what Judith Durham was to the Seekers. The Weavers vocals were elevated from just good to outstanding by Ronnie.

I was honored to know Fred Hellerman. A wonderful talent, and an even better human being. Thank you Weavers, for all you've done, for all of us.

Wonderful! At 14 I spent the time not in school absorbing Pete and also the Weavers, the 2 albums I owned. I was invited to participate in a workshop for song leaders when I was in my 30's that Pete did in Berkeley. It was great to be in his company & get advice as to how to song lead. And we had the wonderful Ronnie Gilbert living here in Berkeley where she would perform every so often. So great to be able to enjoy these marvelous folk who are no longer with us on KZfaq.

A Pinochle? I never reached no Pinochle in life, LMBO!! :D Priceless!

Joe, my condolences on the loss of your friend. Pete Seeger was one of the greatest, and there are still many of us who have appreciated him over the years, and will continue to do so, even as we miss him. Rest in peace, Pete.

That Professors Hays, Gilbert, Hellerman and Seeger were still at it with a vengeance as late as 1980 was nothing short of answered prayer. We were immeasurably blessed to have had them with us for as long as we did.

Lee Hayes excellent entertainer, comedienne, and song writer.

Thank you Joe Stead! I find these gems on KZfaq without looking for them and they bring so much feeling and enjoyment to me... This is a top-notch example! I was crying with so much happiness I couldn't sing along!

Thank you for this. So many years later (its June 2017) and we are still at it. Thanks

Hi. We, The Seekers, have just been touring Australia and at each concert, before we sing WHEN THE STARS BEGIN TO FALL, Judith Durham paid great tribute to the Weavers all, specially mentioning Ronnie Gilbert. The Weavers were our role models and Bruce Woodley and I were particularly inspired by Pete Seeger when he visited Melbourne in 1963. We were able to attend a workshop given by Pete Seeger following his concert and it remains one of my abiding recollections of his visit. Keith Potger

I love this song and these four people

The Weavers reunited again... Rest in Peace Fred Hellerman.

great clip. made me laugh. and im getting old (57) ive been listening since early 60s and its still good to listen to. thank you for posting

goodbye pete seeger! thanks for all the great songs!

Ah, absolutely great! And my get up and go has been gone so long, I don't know when it went!

God Bless Them All....

no autotune here..just artists

An American treasure for sure!

Lee Hays deserves as many thank yous as possible. He seems to be a bit overlooked nowadays.

I love the Weavers and this concert was wonderful. Thanks for posting.

Still comes back on this one from time to time... People don't seem to realize what the Weavers and Pete Seeger in all his incarnations, from the Almanach Singers to his solo years, have brought to music. His recorded works span so much traditionnal tunes and songs from all over the world and even if his "get-up-and-go" got up and went as he says, he sang until the very end - Listen to "Arrange and Rearrange", a fantastic song. One of the best compilation of his work is called "Songs of Hope and Struggle" and that could just defined what he brought to the world and why we should be so thankful he was there. May he rest in peace. He won't be forgotten.

Thank you very much.

I love this!!

Wonderfully inspiring!

Fantastic.

I extend that thank you to all members of the Weavers.

I would rather huff than not puff at all…………………..🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I will always regret that I didn't try to get to NYC in 1981 for this reunion concert. What an experience that would have been!

Great film and. Music.

Thanks for sharing!

Increible y bello, aún me queda esperanza en la humanidad

Lee's comments are all the more relevant now.

wonderful!

This looks like it was a lot more than fifteen years ago. But these people represent the last of the "greatest generation." Good people with talent and taste. Decency was, for the most part, at its height back when they were at the height of their careers. "This, too, shall pass" was my mother's (1917-1999) favorite saying. I love the joke about the kidney stones. Yup, we are all getting older.

well worth applause.

All gone now singing together somewhere else

@ubersoxfanjpm I was fixin to retire to the old folk's home in Washington but it was just taken . . .

Classic🙂

I love the Reagan joke.

#ugottalisten2b4udie How terribly shameful to put such ads on this gracious video.

No Pete, no Weavers. Pete was their organizer, leader, and major song writer. Ronnie was their best singer that was a major component of their excellent sound. Unfortunately Ronnie didn't have good song writers write for her after the Weavers.

Quite morbid :(

Wow! They threw the ineffective Democrat Jimmy Carter under the bus in the song!

Were they all commies, or just some?
