Peter Yarrow Tickets

The show was so much fun, the sound was amazing! Beautiful memories, they sang all my favorites!

I enjoyed the concert very much. It was different however, to see Peter and Paul without Mary. Their selection of songs was a little different than I expected but it made the concert just as enjoyable, nonetheless. I certainly feel as though I got my money's worth.

I grew up listening to Peter, Paul and Mary played by my parents. I was very excited about taking my 6 year old son to a Peter Yarrow show. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed. Although it was billed as "Peter Yarrow & Friends", Peter did not perform very much. What he did perform was a lot of fun, there just should have been more of it. Also, while Peter's daughter Bethany is clearly very talented in her own right, I did not feel that her choice of material (African dancing, Native American prayer) was appropriate for a children's sing-a-long. I looked around the audience and saw that many children were bored - had his or her head on a parent's shoulder, crying, etc. We were disappointed.

I expected to see Peter Yarrow and Paul doing their old songs-instead he did two or three of his most notibale songs and had his daughter and a couple of others dominate the show. (Not to put down his daughter, Bethany-her voice is phenomenal and held every note at the end of the show-the only good part!) The setup was just "chinzy" and cheap at best and left a lot to be desired. Peter could not see the monitor many times and had to keep telling the stage person to adjust it. At times his "rambelings" were just plain rediculous! I would have prefered he be introduced-rather than to just walk on!

Peter Yarrow was wonderful. His songs are sweet, timeless, human, educational for the body and soul. He made the children laugh with his stories and his silliness. My two children, ages 3 and 5, loved him and so did we (their parents). To Peter, I would give 5 stars. To his Friends, 1 star. This was billed as a family show. His other guest, a man whose name I forget, is a musician for children. His music was fantastic and highly inventive / creative, but his lyrics went right over the children's heads and was not very engaging. Some adults liked it, but, I would give it 3 stars. 1 star goes to Peter's daughter Bethany. Her music and lyrics were not at all suitable for children. Her preachy-ness was outdated and repetitious to the point of being completely uninteresting and disengaging. She completely lost the audience, especially the children. Her opinions seemed so issue-laden, for example, telling an audience of mostly babies, 3 and 4 year olds "You don't need no man" and "You better mind". It was ridiculous. While she does have a beautiful voice, her range is limited to a cliche range of bluesy and gospel like notes which she repeats so often it sounded like she was singing the same song over and over. not to mention her "harmonies" completely overshadowed Peter's sweet, grandfatherly voice. She was dressed in skin tight jeans with pencil thin legs, and when she tried to emulate her 2 gracious african dancers, it made my skin crawl. Please, Bethany, if you are going to attempt to dance like your sisters, at least wear a skirt. She was also condescending, telling them she loves them because they are "beautiful girls". Bethany hops from one culture to the next, adopting ideals from africans and native americans, yet it is completely obvious she is a control freak and self congratulating. She brought her little daughter on stage as if she were an accessory, and uttered opinions as if they were truths. He part of the show was exhausting, I wouldn't recommend taking your children to witness her antics.

A combination of heartfelt memories, reverent and irreverent humor, and some well placed social commentary proved Peter to be the sacrosanct bard of our time. Although Mary will be sorely missed and the folk trio is no more, Peter retains his wit and wisdom. The atmosphere of the Ark was incredible. This venue, this show and this man are not to be missed.

Peter was mostly telling stories, rambling on. Not much upbeat about the evening- we left at intermission. I loved Peter, Paul and Mary but I guess I never realized how much of the humor and fun of their concerts came from Paul.

Having seen Peter, Paul and Mary four times over the years, I was anxious to see what Peter would do alone. It was like sitting at the feet of a great teacher.....while he sang many of our old favorites, he told stories of some of the places he'd been, and the causes he had stood for. He shared his experience with Mary and the time of her death. It was really amazing! That in itself would have been great, but then he invited us to meet him after the concert, get his signature, or even just a hug! What a beautiful, talented, loving man!!!

Peter's show was great. He did all the old songs and really got the audience involved. Having it at a small venue made it really personal. I can't wait until he comes back!

Peter Yarrow is a legend. As he says multiple times during the concert, he is the voice of our generation. Unfortunately, our generation is grey, bald, pudgy, with canes and hearing aids. In reality, the show was fun, even if Peter misses a note or two. He has so much history, and so many songs to choose from, he cannot be too far off base. We laughed , we cried, we hugged, and left feeling empty that in 45 or so years, we still do not have a nation at peace, moving towards the same communal progress that we need to last another 200 years. And it was sad to note that there were very few young faces in the crowd, who not only care about Peter but about his history and what PPM, Dylan, Baez et.al. stood for and meant to us in the 60s and 70s.

This show was great and in a very intimate setting, both from the small venue at the Ark and the things Peter had to say. The show was Peter on his own with his acoustic guitar. Peter sang many classic folk songs and encouraged others to sing along. He had many wonderful things to say about Mary, and commented that the crowd was more uplifting than other events he has sang at since her passing. Peter also talked in depth about his Operation Respect Program which tries to prevent bullying in schools. He even stayed after the show to talk and sign autographs. Overall a great performance, and I would jump at an opportunity to see him again.

I enjoyed the concert and was blessed to be there. They always inspire me and make me think.. I go to their concerts every chance I get, whether they are preforming together or individually. I really like them and have since the 60's. Way to go guys!

I so enjoyed the concert and had looked forward to it for months. I would love to have you record a CD of the next performance for those of us who have followed the group for years. All three performers were outstanding. Over the years they have become even more enjoyable and remarkable. However, as many others, I do miss Mary very much. It was great to see younger children in the audience also enjoying the performance. My only disappointment was that the Meyerhoff was not packed. Peter and Paul always warrant a larger audience.

Not sure there is someone quite like Peter and Paul (or Mary, before her death). I grew up in the folk music protest era (50-60's) and as I listened, the lyrics brought back memories. So it was a good evening and thanks to MTV. Like all of us, we lose a bit of "this or that" as we age--so to have Peter and Paul--but not the message and not much of their special musical talent. My kids would not attend but I would, again. And I just bought a few recordings of theirs for my IPOD. They will be with me along my many roads traveled in the next few years.
