Скачать или смотреть Peter Yarrow and Friends – Universal Peace Day Concert

On August 5, 2014, a very special concert took place as Peter Yarrow, social activist and former member of the legendary Peter, Paul and Mary, gathered with his friends, Spook Handy, David Amram and Guy Davis, at St. John's Lutheran Church, NYC, to commemorate the 69th anniversary of the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In attendance was Al Leone, host of “The Bridge of Truth,” who, upon realizing the significance of this once-in-a-lifetime event, began filming with the only camera he had available – his cell phone. Overlooking the shakiness of the hand-held image, and the less-than-ideal audio, which he restored to the best of his ability, Al readily chose to post the performance after getting Peter’s permission to do so.

The video begins following an introductory song with Peter sharing his feelings about the war, violence and hatred abounding in the world today, its specific impact on the families in Newtown, CT following the Sandy Hook tragedy, and his work with Operation Respect. He goes on to recount being asked to write a song around a poem written by the Dalai Lama, his reaction to the power in the words, and their eventual meeting. This segues into a performance of the song itself, as of yet only released in Japan, thus making this video’s documenting of this truly beautiful and inspiring work all the more special. Peter then discusses performing in Vietnam, where he apologized from his heart for all the damage and human suffering brought about by the war, and speaks of his efforts to organize a “Unity Concert” in the Middle East. He concludes the event with a rousing rendition of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” accompanied by Spook, David and Guy.

“The Bridge of Truth” is honored to present this live performance from an icon in our country’s socially-conscious music traditions of opening humanity’s eyes to the truth.
