Sorry to hear of Bob Shane’s departure from this world. He was the one who put the group together and KEPT it that way for so many years!

I still love them just as much as I did in 1989. Judy age 83

The Kingston TRIO are TRUE Musical KINGS. !!!! BRAVO

[rebeccalowry]

We lost Bob in January. They were the genesis of a wonderful era. Many of us owe much more than could be paid...

[alexanderball]

Where have all the folkies gone? Gone to memories-everyone!

[WOV]

Born in 1949, came of age in the 60’s and 70’s. The Trio and PP&M were a big part of my maturation. I owe them a lot. I wish we had more people like them to educate today’s youth. We need more flowers and fewer graveyards.

I'm now 75 years old and I still can't forget the enjoyment of listening to the Kingston trio albums. They were As Good As It Gets.
Of course, Bob Shane's "Scotch & Soda" was played more than any other record in any others in and any other juke boxs in any other honky tonks, lounges, bars, saloons & dancehalls anywhere.
I still play guitar and banjo because of my influence and the Kingston Trio.

I’m 82 and this takes me way back. Watching a Colorado snowstorm and being warmed with memories alongside of my wife Judy of 61 years

29 years old, Northern California native, and these guys I swear were able to mix the easy breezy California sound to folk music. They capture something timelessly west coast that no one else has ever seemed to.

I remember watching this when it appeared on public television. Absolutely wonderful.

[JonesKohrman]

My grandparents and my mom introduce me to the Kingston Trio, thank you guys

[rjwh]

They were my favorite group back in the day, during the Great Folk Music Scare of the Sixties. Manly men singing manly songs.

[MRVISTA-wzvj]

I didn't get into them until much later than this concert. I would have loved to have been there to see the original 3 singers. He's the man who never returned

[DougWilliams-mkir]

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for You Jesus, or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence? Or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine.

RIP Bob Shane. You kept the music going for so many years

[jameshansen]

MARY TRAVERS, you still shine, I miss your energy, thank you forever.

Honoring Bob Shane b. 2/1/34 - d. 1/26/20
It was with great pleasure and a great honor to have known and worked with the original Kingston Trio and their legacy today is firmly intact. As the exclusive agency for the heirs we at Producers, Inc. enjoy seeing the original energy and sound kept alive and well for sold-out audiences across the country.
I enjoyed many hours of fun and adventure with BOB SHANE. He ran the organization and kept the TRIO and legacy active these many years. Thank you, Bob for your loyalty, perseverance and love of folk music and its impact world-wide. We will continue our responsibility to keep your music alive. You will be missed.
Craig Hankenson, President, Producers, Inc.

That's me playing the keyboard at 50:07.  I got to meet Mary Travers and Tom Smothers and several other folkies that night.  I was in John Stewart's band and already knew Dave Guard and Nick Reynolds.  Looking back on it, I guess that was an historic occasion.  I'm proud to have been part of it all.

[laurencedauplay]

What a treat watching the originals performing but sad they’re all gone!

This brings good memories thank you for sharing this with us in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
