- Peter, Paul and Mary perform "This Land Is our Land" live at their 25th anniversary concert in 1986. Now, two and a half decades later, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the formation of the group in the famed Greenwich Village, this joyous yet deeply moving live concert is being first released on DVD by Shout! Factory.

"This Land Is Your Land" is one of the United States' most famous folk songs. Its lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie in 1940 based on an existing melody, in critical response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America", which Guthrie considered unrealistic and complacent. Tired of hearing Kate Smith sing it on the radio, he wrote a response originally called "God Blessed America". Guthrie varied the lyrics over time, sometimes including more overtly political verses in line with his sympathetic views of communism, than appear in recordings or publications.
Guthrie wrote the song in 1940 and recorded it in 1944. The song was not published until 1945, when it was included in a mimeographed booklet of ten songs with typed lyrics and hand drawings. The booklet was sold for twenty-five cents, and copyrighted in 1951.
The first known professionally printed publication was in 1956 by Ludlow Music (now a unit of The Richmond Organization), which administered the publishing rights to Guthrie's song. Ludlow later issued versions with piano and guitar accompaniments.
In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

Lyrics:
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was singing
This land was made for you and me!
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me those golden valleys
This land was made for you and me!
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As the sun was shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying
"This land was made for you and me!"
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me. - Hudba
I'm a singer too, but I gotta give Woody the credit. Without great songwriters us singers wouldn't be worth a damn. It is what it is. Dang!😀
Her voice always gave me the chills it still does and I’m 73 years old
Ruth Ann Myers Hess- August 1939! - June 2023. You’ve touched so many lives over the years!
Especially mine. I love you forever till we meet again! Your love was constant as the northern star.
*Not to take away from the music before but the 90s country music was so great. So many good artists and songs.*
Such an uplifting version of this wonderful song,I was kid in the 60’s and my Aunt was a teenager who loved these 3 she has several albums by them and I loved their songs because she would listen to them and I would listen right along with her and sing along,as I got older I would play them because I loved their harmonies !! Mary was a singer of a generation her voice was so beautiful that you couldn’t help but love to her sing !! They said that Mary loved this song I’ll bet she up in heaven entertaining the angels !!
This land was made for NorthAmericans, CentralAmericans, SouthAmericans, Europeans, Africans, Indians, etc. Because its beutiful and a human can live his dreams here. This is my land as it is yours,
Mary looks so beautiful and was a warm hearted soul. Miss her greatly. Loved the a capella section.
They did it in their 1988 Holiday Concert as well with a different verse specifically for the Christmas season. Does anyone have it? It used to be up here but it has been taken down.
RIP Mary Travers God Bless you in Heaven. We love you and you are in a better place now. ❤️💚💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️❤️💚
i was lucky to have seen these three live in concert..the kids today will never know the magic that you felt from that stage..mary's voice may be stilled but thankfully there is youtube for us all to go back, close our eyes and feel it again.
I watched them in a small venue, about 300 people. When they played Puff, every child was smiling and every adult had tears streaming down their face.
They were so talented. You can tell they worked on everything before they went into the studio to make their albums. I loved this version of the song.
We have sung this inspiring 'ballad' in India (with appropriate alterations to geographic names) for 5 decades... Our hearts find it truer than ever, in today's context. Long Live our Country 🌷
We need to play this song everyday all over America.....everybody welcome....especially in 2021
I agree Vickie Peter, Paul and Mary their music are truly a National Treasure!
Che meraviglia! Una grandissima performance! 😊😍🤗💘💔🙏💯

WOODY WOODY WOODY WHAT AN AMERICAN ICON ONLY IN A FREE COUNTRY COULD U HAVE A WOODY GUTHRIE, SO SWEET TO LISTEN TO ALL THESE SONGS LOVE U PPM!
This is NOT a patriotic song. Lyrics were censored and removed, including lyrics criticizing American soup lines and private property.
This has been spread around for nationalist propaganda by twisting the songwriter's lyrics. Though it's somewhat fitting that a "patriotic song" for the US is one stolen and twisted and lied about.
Arlo is no slouch either!
It's a very nostalgic and wonderful song, and their singing is the best
💖💖💖
She sure knew how to get her voice Acapella style RIP dear lady
This song still makes me happy!
Their voices are so great together. Love you Mary!
I saw them sing this in Montreal during the early 60's. In the final verse they made it Canadian . . .
From Buena Vista to Vancover Island,
From The Arctic Circle to The Great Lake Waters . . .
Brought the house down.
Miss you, Mary!
July 3rd, 2019......America needs this song. We need to rally around the Truth that we’ve been given. The Bible and the Constitution. Thanks, Peter, Paul and Mary. ❤️
Dotti Siders just the
Constitution , keep
The Bible to yourself ,
Please, when you mix religion with politics nothing good comes out of it

In fact this song was made in protest to the song "God Bless America"
I know it was never really their style, but I always loved how PP&M "rocked" their rendition of This Land is Your Land, particularly in their first three PBS Concert Specials, 25th Anniversary, Holiday, and Peter, Paul, and Mommy Too. Great way to use it as a finale and get the audience involved dancing and clapping! And even with that hint of rock and roll in the music, they still do the folk music justice with their subtle tribute to Woody Guthrie in the "It might've been Woody" lyric! Maybe it's just me, coming from a lifelong but 29 year old Peter, Paul, and Mary fan who just saw Peter and Noel in concert albeit separately and without Mary for the first time ever this past March and July! However, I will always cherish singing with them and meeting them! I even got invited by Peter onstage to sing Puff the Magic Dragon with he and his daughter Bethany! So I can't help but think of them fondly when watching this clip, I just wish I would've gotten the chance to see The Trio all together live in concert in my lifetime, rest in peace Mary, but thank you for sharing your music with me all these years while you were alive and giving me the personal gift of seeing Peter and Paul live and in person!
brilliant group thanks for all your amazing music over the years r.i.p mary so sadly missed xx
Never get tired of listening to this,when I’m down it brings me up
I love this version of this song, but I'm surprised at the number of folks who don't understand what this song is about. He wrote this as a slap in the face to Irving Berlins "God Bless America"
Due to being cooped up due to Covid-19 I'm listening to a lot of music re: Travel. This is the ultimate song ! Thank you to the performers !!!
God bless this land and keep it safe ❤
R.I.P. Mary Travers,you'll always be with us
+mark yates yes, she will
+Jack Hoffman Ditto

Just loved Mary what a voice. Loved Peter Paul & Mary.
Wonderful voices !!! Love from Germany Renate
Hello,i hope your doing well?
Ja ,das war noch tolle Musik.👍✌😘💋
I was taught this iconic American song in the sixth grade. It was 1964 and I had just moved from Michigan to Little Rock, Arkansas. The culture shock was jarring . This song always brings tears to my eyes. How far my country has fallen.
You took my soul with you.
Love Peter Paul and Mary. Back when music was great and still is.
I saw Peter and Noel Paul last night....I heard Mary's harmonies all night...I sure missed her..
Cool arrangement. They get everything you can, I guess, out of this song that can be had! I was a kid and loved them right away!!
Hello, are you interested in forex
Beyond belief, I take my hat off to such pure genius.
I saw them live several times during the 1960s, and I am better for the experiences. Sing on, Peter Paul and Mary....
They don’t make music like this anymore, mores the pity, such talent does not exist anymore, such harmony
Wonderful chorus. Fit perfect !!!!
Wonderful version! Thanks for posting. Best to Peter and Paul! (Keep on truckin'!!) MISS you Mary.....but I know you're keeping everyone entertained up there. God bless. Fox in California.
Desde que era muy pequeño , siempre me encantó,no solo a mí, también a mis vecinas,u hacíamos coros ,con Peter,Pol,and Mary, Gracias
It's never felt so relevant. RIP Mary Travers.
Stephen Garrod I wonder why the strophes #5 - 7 are never sung, except by Woodie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and The Boss. Too critical?
Queen bohemian o

No, it's because they are the most Marxist. But the communist undertone is consistent throughout the song
leave idiot
Yep and Woody was treated like crap by J edgar
I’ve watched this vid 100x. It was DEFINITELY Woody!!
Greatest performance Love there music God Bless them!
Their
On this day in 1963 {March 24th} Peter, Paul & Mary's second studio
album, 'Moving', peaked at #2* {for 1 week} on Billboard's Top LP
Albums chart; the week it was at #2, the #1 album for that week was
'Songs I Sing On The Jackie Gleason Show' by Frank Fontaine...
Track six of side one on the album was the trio's covered version of "This Land Is Your Land"...
* After 'Moving' spent its one week at #2, it stayed at #3 for the next four weeks...
good data. thanks
From ppm to the youth of the 60s we learned to live lives of freedom for all peoples and races and life was better because of this
Three Americans Legends, who sang what I would consider to be American Music....."Folk" I think the style of "folk music" is only represented here in America from the 60's to 80s's as it died off. I would love to hear your opinions on this topic of Folk Music. Because it is one of my favorite styles of music that my family enjoys. Also side note.....Mary is my fave of the group PPM...what a powerful voice she has...wow!
Still missing you Mary.
i grew up with your songs love the music...just wish our world would embrace your music...too many people want to be the everlasting power...
YES, this was my music that give me some comfort from the bad times during the '60s.
love this
One of my favorite bands
As someone pointed out somewhere else in comments, they get as much as anyone will ever find in this song. Very impressive version.

In fact this song was composed because of how much the author despised the song God Bless America.
22 years ago. What is time? This is forever..
stephen copsey This performance was 32 years ago, not 22. But I agree: it’s timeless.
Toller Song. Kenne ich schon sehr lange.

Woody was Woody Guthrie, who wrote the song. Such an uplifting version!
This land is your land written by the late Woody Guthrie should & really ought to be the national anthem of the United States, but it isn’t at all for NO DAMNED REASON!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME::::ILOVE MARY

Goodbye, sweetheart Mary.
Been to 48 states that song is to close to memories
Hello,i hope your doing well?
All of us. Not matter the tag. All of us.
Priceless
RIP Mary Travers (1936-2009)
plein d'émotion !
What a great reunion...
from their hearts
GREAT!
My all-time favorite wedding song was performed by the great pop vocalist “ John Gary”
He possessed a 4 octave vocal range, recognizable rich vibrato, and angelic celestial voice in his upper range.
All those engaged ready for wedlock must listen to this. When you do, you will want this song played at your wedding. I guarantee. Also, Gary was Elvis Presley’s favorite pop vocalist.
Below are a few more Gary songs that will open the recess of your heart and soul.
Once Upon A Time”
( the best rendition of this song ever recorded. All the well known professional vocalists like Tony Bennett, Andy Williams have sung it but none come close to Gary’s angelic rendition)
“If You Love Me Really Love Me”
( an obscure song from his “ So Tenderly” album. He sustains the last refrain PHRASE 13 words ( not note) for 30 SECONDS!!
No doubt one of the longest “One Breath Phrases” ever recorded!
“Autumn Leaves”
( a popular song sung by many vocalists, but John Gary uses his 4 octaves to SOAR into the angelic realm.
“ Something Simple”
( an obscure one from his “ So Tenderly” Lp that will open the floodgate of your heart and soul. Again, he SOARS!
And finally, “ The Sound Of Music”
( everyone remembers the movie and Julie Andrews wonderful rendition but few knew that John Gary recorded it FIRST from his “ The Nearness Of You” Lp and his voice merges with the violin at the end of the song and he holds the last phrase for 25 seconds
And speaking of the violin, here are a couple of reasons why John Gary’s voice was so electrifying and angelic.
His mother was a Professional Concert Violinist and when John was 6 or 7 years old, she would play the violin and have her son vocalize to the sound of the violin. Another reason was because John was a professional DEEP SEA DIVER and invented an AQUALUNG and set a WORLD RECORD for remaining under water over TWO HOURS!
Well, that’s it. I hope I enticed you to listen to these 5 John Gary recordings. You will thank me.
All love from Miami Beach , Florida,
-Al
alot of years good music and good people
yes!
The Great Mary Travers. 👍
