I just met Mr. Yudel Judah today at the Jewish Eldercare I had a very nice talk with him it was a pleasure listening to his stories growing up in Montreal

Fred Hellerman and Pete Seeger (along with Lee Hayes and Ronnie Gilbert) were and still are the best folk music group ever🙏🏻💖

What a legend!

Oh Pete...how we need you today. .............

Truly beautiful

♥♥♥♥♥♥

The Weavers actually had a lot of hits back then. They really had it together. Tight group of talent.

My Aunt Violet Schechter died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. She was planning to marry the next week. Her youngest brother, my Uncle Sam, never told me that his sister had perished in the fire. I only found out after I had been working in worker health and safety for around 20 years. I think it was too painful for Sam to recall, and I think he wanted to spare us the horror. When you see a shirt or sign that reads "Live better - Work union", my friends, believe it. Thank you for so beautiful a song, Ruth! A ballad is a wonderful tool for keeping the history alive.

Once came a daughter of HW to visit us in Los Angeles, so my uncle writes in his autobiography…

Solche Künstler wird es nie wieder geben

Note the inscription on Pete's banjo - "This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender." This was clearly borrowed from Woody Guthrie's guitar, which said "This machine kills fascists." But without question, Woody's wouldn't have minded. I forget if it was Pete or Woody who said, when asked about someone copying one of their songs, "Well he only borrowed from me, but I borrowed from everybody." I hadn't even realized that Fred Hellerman was still alive in 2010 - how marvelous to see him and Pete together.

We use to sing this song in Lincolnshire pubs in the early 1970s UK that is!

RIP Pete Seeger 😢 From Sweden

Underbar vacker musik hälsningar från Sweden Fred till Ukraina ☮️ Slava Ukraina ☮️❤️😍☮️❤️😍☮️❤️❤️❤️

Ich denke dass der von mir geliebte Peter Seeger bei diesem großartigen Folksong,auch die Indigene Bevölkerung damit einbezogen hat. Ich denke schon.

We can't forget.

I was on his show a few times when he had a studio at CFCF Montreal in the mid 60's

Oh how wonderful! I grew up listening to the Weavers and I still have at least one of the LPs that I listened to as a kid. I've been fortunate enough to hear Pete in person twice, although once the arena was so large I could barely see him.

Wow, great to see! Thanks for sharing.

Thank You . . . 1 Eye . . .

the world is made, for us.....anywhere you want to go...

I’m looking forward to huggingPete when I get to THE GREAT BLUE BEYOND

I sang this song for a school assembly when I was 9 years old! My parents never let me forget it!!

Pete Seeger, what a great person.

Love this

Two hopemongers lifting our spirits still. This is now my favorite version of this song that was one of the very few my Mom sang. Happy for the memory of all three. <3 <3 <3

Great to see them again! Well done.

Very cool. Well done.

Fantastic this land is truly all of ours. The greatest country in the world

I have a kids book my favorite book to sing to the kids but it has all the words. pics that show what the words are food lines and all, this is a protest song

is there _any_ way to restore the sound?

Pete Seeger turns everything into an Anthem, and Thank God Too…

Who are all the singers?? Wonderful!

You might say that I'm kind of a lucky man But lately, I've had lots of luck But all of it's been bad And I take a look around me And I wonder what became of all the friends I thought I had Life can sometimes make you bitter. Make you want to be a quitter But I'm just not so inclined Because whenever it feels like it's all too much That's just about the time that I feel the touch of your loving hand on mine. CHORUS When I'm down for a count, that's when I can count on you When I'm down, and I'm out, that's when I know that you'll come through. No, there's not any doubt that's what love is all about And with you around, there's no way I can lose When I'm down for the count, that's when I can count on you. When I'm bruised or if I'm jumped on If I'm used or if I'm dumped on Or my back's against the wall I know that when the storm clouds disappear I'm going to look up, and you'll still be here or near me if I call. Yes, it's knowing that you care for me and knowing that you share with me. When things go wrong or right, and it's knowing that you love me Is the beacon that I know is going to get me through the night. CHORUS

Hitler got off easy, the coward! I spit on him!

Going to play this for my great grandson!

this was right around when we had pete to the new york harvest festival and freedom rally

The weavers were One of a kind

round round putins grave

Too long!

Rip peete seeger, the Big figter of justise, i discovered you 40years too late. I am 64,the war is not over, we still have to fight against the,,axe of the evil,,.anni.

I was a student at George School, a Quaker boarding and day school in Newtown, PA, from 1956 through 1959. Every Saturday during the school year there would be entertainment in the assembly hall in the Main building, primarily for the boarders but sometimes day students would attend as well. Twice during my time there Pete Seeger came to sing for us, solo. Can't help thinking of those concerts without choking up. We students had no idea how iconic Pete was and how important he and the Weavers were in the popular culture of that time. How wonderful the people who sponsored these events for us. Thank you.

This land was not made for you and me! It was stolen from the Indians. My, how liberals have changed in a generation.

Fantastic and rare. LOVE WEAVERS

6:10-6:28 truer words were never spoken ! 👍😀 as long as you keep walking 🤪

Just now a 40-year old waitress probably looks pretty good, at least to me. This is one of the first songs I ever learned, in the early 1950s, and I still enjoy singing along.

10/10

That trumpet elevated the performance.
