The Kingston Trio helped spark the folk revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s with their crisp harmonies and polished acoustic style. College Concert, recorded live at UCLA in 1962, captures the group’s infectious energy and witty stage presence in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
This album includes spirited renditions of audience favorites like “M.T.A.,” “500 Miles,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” and “Roddy McCorley.” It’s a classic piece of folk history, highlighting why the Trio became one of America’s most popular acts of the era.
