Audience paying attention and not talking and looking at their phones. I miss those good ole days. Thanks for sharing this clip.

So sad to watch this video and see the innocence of the pre-Vietnam war, pre Kennedy assassination, young people. A lot of beauty and idealism. Made me cry.

So beautifully sung❤

Truly a time tunnel piece, instant transport to my youth, age of innocence, naivety, ignorance, insecurity, simple happiness, hope and dream.

Incredible.

best version of this song !!! I get goosebumps by watching and hearing this. Especially when the young audience are joining them singing and watching all young people. and in addition the lyrics having in mind „our good times are all gone…“ that most of them are about 80 years or already gone to heaven. bringing tears to me….

that's also is life

Pure beauty, emotions and love. Where all those good times have gone😢

Absolutely beautiful harmonies

At this time of the screen, America was not like now. We could feel nostalgic. But, those days are gone forever. Well, there’s always today and tomorrow.

Wonderful performance of a classic song. Dick Foley had a flawless voice and knocks it out of the park singing the lead.

Surely this vision is more than 40 years old, judging by the fresh young faces in the audience. Thanks for finding this video.

Great stuff.

Ian Tyson could not only write them, but sang them oh so well.

A wonderful version of Ian Tyson's first song. Of course, no song hurts for Dick's beautiful voice and the harmonies of the B4. RIP Ian.

That's great to hear the audience sing it

Last 3 yrs, they were in Thailand .I was there , but not this song ; I heard. Pls sing this song again ,in my country.

Thank you for uploading a precious and rare video. I heard this song was about the lonliness of seasonal workers in the rural area in the US, but it meant much more than me. It was a song of good-old-day America with full of hopes and dreams, and I used to love and admire such a wonderful country !

You must have two microphones for stereo, they do not need anymore. Folk music at it's best.

This is definetly the best version,i I play it all the time.

Pure talent, and we can see the audience is mesmerised, love it.

Such a great song and beautifully sung. This is definitely the best version of this beautiful song. The harmonies are great and the lead singer has such a beautiful voice.

There are a lot of great versions of this song, but I’d have to say that my favorite is Ian and Sylvia’s. Nobody quite sings this one like the guy who wrote it.

RIP composer Ian Tyson - 12/29/22. A sign of a great song is many, many cover versions. Ian & Sylvia are the original.

Wow!!! Simply Great.

Reminds me of my time at college (1964-1968). I did find out that the couple at 2:37 eventually married, according to their daughter.

I love this song, that was a beautiful rendition

So, what is better

While I'm listening to Dick Foley and this wonderful rendition, I look at the students in the audience and wonder what happened to them? They are just a couple of years older than I. How many boys ended up in Viet Nam and how many didn't make it home? How many were taken by drugs? How did the women with their degrees fare? How many are still with us (they are all in their mid to late 70s now). How did their lives pan out - as they dreamed or better or worse?

Look at the collegiate audience at UCLA - 1963. They may as well be from a distant planet. What a decline...it takes one's breath away.

Yes, it's the way an audience could sit still like that, huddled together in silent appreciation of every delicate nuance of the music, & sing along peacefully like a choir which is a microcosm of all mankind. And I can still clearly recall sitting around the campfire at summer camp in the later '60's, singing along together as our counselors strummed "Four Strong Winds", "Dona Dona", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", & other timeless folk songs of a caliber that no longer exists. I can also recall seeing/hearing the Grateful Dead in concert in 1973, with a roomful of 7,000 happy hippies celebrating the music together in such a peaceful, settled, harmonious way that just doesn't happen now. Somewhere around the inception of MTV was the time when audiences began to lose their concentration & respect for music.

I attended UCLA 1968-1978. The Vietnam war draft changed a lot of things. There are audiences of various age groups who do sit and listen and pay attention. There are disruptive audience members of various ages who provide their own soundtrack.

A great Canadian song by a great Canadian duo. The original Ian and Sylvia version is best but they do a great cover of it.

OMG-- Just look at the audience's reaction/participation; music is to be taken seriously because it provokes thought. Aesthetic death canme soon enuf, however, for the amerikunz with the advent of the Beatles and rock.. hen a slow descent into the juvenile eros of today. Delenda est.
