For more info – www.eagle-rock.com John Denver is one of the most successful and best loved recording artists of the 20th century. His easy going manner, fine voice, superb songwriting and dedication to environmental issues all combined to build a huge global fanbase that has continued to grow since his untimely death in a plane crash in 1997. This superb 5 disc set is the definitive John Denver DVD release. There are three complete live performances with full band from Australia in 1977, Japan in 1981 and England in 1986. These are complemented by a solo acoustic performance from Japan in 1984 and his performances at Farm Aid from 1985, 1987 & 1990. The final disc has two hour long documentaries made by John Denver, his 1990 Earth Day programme about environmental issues and his 1972 show about the Bighorn sheep of his beloved Rocky Mountains.
Gotta love John and all of his songs!! ***** Hippie
How clear, strong, and melodic was John Denvers voice?! The glorious way the man sings, he doesn’t need any instruments but that voice! I think this might be my favorite version of this incredible song. RIP dear John. You are sorely missed…..
This is awesome, thanks so much! Just linked & posted this to my FB feed:
Memorial Day: Honoring those who fight for our liberties. Free Speech – I’d like my friends born after 1980 to listen to this song and ponder the fact that it was censored in the 1970s. John stood up for artists’ rights in 1985 when heavy metal and rap became the focus of censorship. Radio edits and warning labels are the compromise…
Beautiful.
molto interessante.. voce squillante, che stacca notevolmente dall’acustica della chitarra. Wonderful
i bought it ! its great !
I miss him. Makes my heart bigger and my soul content.
Brother John gives me goosebumps.
And shivers down my backbone.
Peace from your music and song.
