Summary: The 25th Anniversary Concert w/all the Players now on DVD!
Review: This was 1981 the 25th Anniversary of the Legacy of "The Kingston Trio" now on DVD for the first time."The Kingston Trio" personified folk music in the 1950's & 60's. Paving the way for many singers (Bob Dylan, Joan Baez & Peter, Paul & Mary to name a few) and the Folk Music Revolution!! Their niche was the folk ballad and thus they were "The Balladeers" recording folk songs from all countries around the world. The Original Trio, Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane & Dave Guard began the groups long and successful carrer in San Francisco at the "Hungry I" night/folk club. With hits "Tom Dooley" - Grammy Winner - Scotch & Soda, M.T.A., Greenback Dollar and Zombie Jamoree to name a few. In 1961 Dave Guard left the group and was replaced by John Stewart and had hits like - Chilly Winds and many many more. In 1967 after ten years Nick Reynolds left and so did John Stewart. Bob Shane has carried the group on for over 40 years with various other singers & musicians filling the void left by the original players. Well this 90 minute Standard Format DVD (really 74 without commercials) is a fantastic but brief flashback into the golden years of folk music with this 1981 "The Kingston Trio and Friends Reunion" show now on a Collector's DVD. Special Guests/Friends include; Host Tommy Smothers, Mary Travers (from Peter, Paul & Mary), Lindsey Buckingham of "Fleetwood Mac" playing bass and trio members, Dave Guard (first time with group in 20 years), John Stewart, George Grove and Roger Gambill. 20 of the Trios Greatest Hits are included. A brief musical experience from their hundreds of great songs they recorded. This is a keeper and a must for your musical DVD library. Enjoy!

Summary: KT3 NOSTALGIA
Review: Video's like these are a godsend to us over here in the uk.
This one took me back to April 16th 1963 when i had the pleasure to see them live in Birmingham England.
To see them perform again is a pleasure i never thought i would re-live, i recommend anyone that remembers the KT to buy it (you wont be disappointed).
