[edit] Discussion
"improper liberties"? Oh God... someone needs to expound. TheCoffee 17:49, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I so agree, even though I don't know what your sayin'. Chill. ,
They used to get their laundry done in Salinas, CA!
[edit] Missing hit list
The listing of top-hit songs and albums is confusing. This is an example of the bad effects of the Official Policy Against Lists (OPAL) at WP. What could be organized and accessible turns into just a confusing mush of sentences.-69.87.204.178 22:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bad link
The link for "500 Miles" (in the first paragraph of the History section) redirects to a totally different song - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," written and performed by Scottish pop band The Proclaimers. 12.76.136.92 (talk) 05:34, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why such focus on Australian Concerts ?
I think someone should correct (or erase) such lines about Australian concerts. I don't think this is the point of such page to list every tour of the band in a specific country, unless significant event :
- In May 1964 Peter, Paul & Mary made their first tour of Australia playing only one concert in each of Sydney (Stadium) and Melbourne(Festival Hall). Their Australian Impressario was tentative about their potential but this was unfounded.
- Their first visit sparked a massive folk music interest which survives today. Folk Clubs were opened in the most unlikely places and folk festivals were founded. Many hitherto ignored Australian Folksingers were able to make modest livings from their careers and recordings.
- Both concerts were sell-outs and the group revisited Australia in 1965,1967,1968 and 1970 each time increasing their itinerary and always to capacity business, until their break-up in 1970.
- Since their reformation Peter, Paul & Mary have visited Australia three times for concerts. Noel Paul Stookey is the only member of the group to visit Australia as a solo performer.
