John Denver was an amazing Folk Singer when Folk Singing had all but died. He was classified as a Country Artist but make no mistake he was a classic Folk Singer. He was so underrated at the time when Rock Music was becoming Hard Rock and Country Music started becoming Country Rock. The World lost an amazing talent and a very unique voice the day that John Denver had his plane accident. Such a shame. He did so much for nature and educating people and No I'm not nature nut case, I just appreciated what this man did and I loved so many of his song and his voice.
I don't believe John Denver ever wrote a bad song. You really must listen to "Calypso." What a beautiful song! One feels so free-spirited when one hears it. He wrote it after he was invited by Jacques Cousteau to join him aboard the Calypso and he got a taste of living on the open seas and studying the creatures that live below. It clearly affected him in a very positive and beautiful way.
@@JenSell1626 Yep. 😄👍
Calypso really is an uplifting song, and the live performance from this 1995 Wildlife concert is my favourite version. I hope we get a reaction vid for that one eventually.
Calypso with Boston Pops!!
My husband always made fun of me living John's music. I made him go to a concert with me once.
I was enthralled the entire concert. Sato close that I swear I locked eyes with him at one point when tears were running down my cheeks from a song I particularly loved.
My husband showed little enthusiasm throughout.
But...on the way to the car he casually said " that is the best concert I have ever been to."
He was so very special...pure voice, sincere appreciation for those who came to see him so apparent. It was magical to see him!
When I was a teenager in the 70s I was blessed to go to one of his concerts. Every song was a masterpiece and his positive energy just radiated throughout the crowd. There has never been nor will there ever be anybody like him. He was the best.
I really can't proclaim a favorite John Denver song because they are all brilliant!
He comes from an era where nearly all artists had a distinctive voice and sound and he is no different.
You're right he was a supremely talented writer and performer.
I can listen to his songs over and over and they never get old.
We were all robbed of his talent far too soon.
John Denver embodied the very spirit of life; his music embodied the very spirit of the joy and wonder and amazement he found in being on the planet. He was a gift and his music lives on.
my parents were in their 50's when they surprised me asking for me to take them to a John Denver concert. He was on a small raised stage in the middle of the crowd, slowly rotating so everyone could see. Incredibly warm, beautiful, and fun...a great memory for me
I had the privilege of seeing John Denver live at the Fox Theater in St. Louis in the mid-80s. It was a sell-out and a concert I will always remember. I went to this concert prior to a two-week vacation to Colorado which made it even more special. I was so crushed when I learned of his untimely death! What a loss! There will never be another John Denver.
Talk about a natural talent. John Denver. Enough said.
Saw him twice once in early 70's as a teenager. Then in my late 20's. He's songs got better as he got older. His music was and still is a big part of my life. The Gift You Are is truly a beautiful song.
When John's plane crashed in 1997, I felt a small piece of my childhood die. My mom would listen to him & Kenny Rogers when she cleaned the house when I was a child. I would hear her singing all his songs. "Rocky Mountain High" was the first song I learned to play when I self-taught myself guitar. What an amazing singer, artist, & storyteller. He was gone far too soon!
When I was growing up, we would drive from Texas to Colorado to go snow skiing every year. As soon as we crossed into Colorado, my father would immediately put this song on. RIP John ❤❤❤
I got to see John Denver so many years ago I was in my twenties and now 60 it was in Worcester Mass I had the seat that was the very last row as high as you can possibly be away from the stage underneath an air conditioning system.
To this date its the best show I've ever seen in my life it was just him and his guitar his music and his story's it blew me away. I had a chance to go to another concert years it was sadly canceled due to a thunderstorm.
I lived in Colorado for 38 years and this song is one of the official songs of the state of Colorado. Sadly, the closest I ever got to John was his funeral in Aurora, CO. He was a blessing on all of us.
John could do it all. He wrote his songs. He could sing and he was a great guitar player. I miss him and the creative music he would have written. Thanks for playing this. The whole "Wildlife Concert" was awesome.
Everything he did was wonderful, writing, singing & playing to perfection.
I saw John singing live in Dublin in 1979. He was just amazing. He was in a very lively and jokey frame of mind and a joy to listen to.
John Denver’s “sunshine on my shoulders” is a must!
BEEN TO 6 OF HIS CONCERTS, THAT MAN CHANGED AND INFLUENCE MY LIFE TO THIS DAY!!!
I saw John Denver in concert in 1975 or 76 in Norfolk Virginia. It was a concert "in the round" and when his band took a break, he stayed on stage with just his guitar, and kept on performing. The best concert I've ever been to.
I saw him live in the late 1970's. Having seen many concerts during this period, mostly rock, this was by far the most beautiful experience ever. The musicianship and vocals were the best I ever witnessed. 'Poems, Prayers, & Promises', 'Follow Me', and 'Rhymes and Reasons' are hidden gems.
He's been a favorite of mine since I was a small child. "Sunshine on My Shoulders" always takes me instantly to my childhood home, sitting on the floor with headphones on, eyes closed and trying to feel the meaning of the song. Just beautiful. 💗
I did the same thing.
I got to work a couple of his concerts and was backstage a lot. He was friendly to everyone he met his crew was also. He brought softball equipment with him so if there was a chance they would get a game going, along with that he was the only performer that I ever saw bring a ping pong table with him. Was great to see his live performance.
John Denver was a singer-songwriter & actor. He had so many great hits in the 70's-80's. Some of his signature songs were "You Fill Up My Senses", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Fly Away", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Calypso", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" etc. John appeared in several films & television specials during the 70's-80's, including the 1977 hit "Oh, God!", in which he starred alongside George Burns.
He has some wonderfully fun songs, nostalgic, etc., but I think "Calypso" has to be the most beautiful.
I add my vote to all of the above
'You fill up my senses' is a line from 'Annie's Song'... greatest love song ever written, imo.
I adored him. Saw him in concert in San Diego, California in the 70s and I moved to Denver, Colorado in '78. Saw him in concert there three times. I miss him so!
John lives in our hearts now. He will always be cherished and loved. Listen to Calypso and hear him yodel.
I was blessed to see John Denver in concert 53 times! The only word I can use is magical there is no one even close to do what he could do in concert.
John Denver has the distinction of having Two state songs. This one for Colorado, and Country Roads for West Virginia.
I saw John in concert over 15 times , he was in the mountains during the Perseid Meteor Shower thus “I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky” … I saw him with just his guitars and a piano , and with a full band it didn’t matter it was alway a great concert , I never tired of it and had he lived I’m sure I’d still be going … as he said in one of his songs “why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone”
His voice was so pure.
When you're a Flat-Lander and you first go to the Colorado Rocky Mountains you are blown away by how Beautiful everything is ! It';s kind of like going up to Scotland to get away from London and Birmingham grit ! :-)
My husband and I went to an Outdoor venue to see him. We took my dad. And he was fantastic. His voice was incredible! I have great memories of that concert. Thank you for your reaction
I saw John in concert five times. Don't remember sitting down since everyone was on their feet. The whole crowd recognized the songs in the first few chords which blew him away . I can still hear him say Far Out!
I saw him in concert one time. Such an amazing performer. He played 3 hours straight! He sent his band off on break, but he stayed right with us, just him and his guitar. No auto-tuner, no fancy lights, no dancing. We were spellbound. Mesmerized. Dazed.
Same! Amazing. I forgot he stayed on stage when the band took a break!
I am one of the lucky ones who got to see John in Nebraska in the early 70s. He was so warm and interactive with us. He stayed out and talked with us and sang while his band took a break. What a genuinely beautiful soul!
Yep. .. I saw John in concert. It was in the round, and he laughed and talked with the audience. He was awesome! His death really hit me hard.
You should listen to his song Calypso. Very good. The Wildlife Concert.
Is it any wonder that this is Colorado's state song? He was an amazingly talented man an he made beautiful music. I could easily see him sitting around the campfire with friends strumming and singing for them.
The older he got the better his music became. What a tragic loss to the worl. I miss him everytime I hear him sing.
Love this song. Spent most of my childhood in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Listening to his music brings back a lot of old memories. If you want to check out more John I’d recommend “Eagles and Horses”, “Calypso”, “Mathew”, or “Poems, Prayers, and Promises.” These are what came to mind but all of John’s songs are amazing. Rest In Peace John.
I was lucky enough to see John Denver in Houston at the Summit in 1978.... it was amazing!!! Been a fan since I was very young...
I love John Denver - one song that always gets me is when he teamed up with The Muppets and sang ‘When the River Meets the Sea’ with Kermit’s nephew Robin ❤️
I was a young woman when this song was first played and made the charts. Never heard a John Denver song I didn't like. The Rocky Mountains are so beautiful and majestic, they run all the way up through Canada and are more pristine and beautiful than in the USA, the snow never leaves the higher peaks. My generation misses his music and the man.
John Denver simply the best
John Denver singing "Dancing with Mountains" and "Song of Wyoming" is fantastic
I got to see John Denver in person 3 times! Once by himself and his guitars. Once accompanied by his usual backup band. Once he was in front of a full orchestra. Each concert was perfect in its own way. I will remember each one, noting that seeing the instruments makes you hear the song in a different way, and each way is a wonderful journey.
The studio version of this one is absolutely mesmerizing.
25 Years Without John In The World 💔😭 GBNF We Miss You Beyond Words John
"Sunshine On My Shoulders" always picks up my mood, no matter what. That being said, all of his music is phenomenal, and you can't go wrong with any of his songs.
John Denver has always been my uncle's favorite. He named his first son "Denver"!
Not enough good can be said about John Denver 💖 Today he would be just weeks from his 80th, and I'm certain still doing wonderful musical things.
John Would Be 79 Now December 31st 2022
He Would Have Been 80 December 31st 2023
@@johndenverfan Ah, I see now.. birthday was in 1943. Thanks!
Definitely prefer the studio version which is a good bit slower and has a simpler arrangement that suits it better imo, but John never gave a bad performance. What a voice!
He was truly a generational talent.
Fantastic Artist! Rip
There's NOTHING as beautiful as walking through the Rocky Mountains... His lyrics can inspire a plan to visit them and FEEL what inspired this beautiful song!!! 🎵🎤🎹🎶 Thank you for enjoying John's music... Only one like him, rest in peace 🙏🏻🤗
Another great song from John. A favorite of mine is You Fill Up my Senses, RIP John gone way to soon.
My spirit is lifted above our daily human miseries every time I listen to this true human being and pure soul singing.
I had the awesome privilege of seeing John Denver in concert back in the 70s near Philadelphia. It was in a large arena and he looked so small on the stage with just a couple back up musicians. They had three giant screens behind him that ran beautiful video of eagles, rivers, and the Rocky Mountains as he sang. That's all - no special effects needed. The most amazing thing I remember is that, when he sang, there was no screaming or craziness. Everyone was just quietly singing along with him on most of his songs. It was beautiful! I sure do miss his music and I thank you for playing it on your channel and for your kind comments.
I use his music to get myself relaxed, when my mind starts racing.
I saw him in his prime and he nothing short of fantastic. You are correct about him and his guitar, he could hold the audience with just his God given talent.
He is such a legendary singer with some great songs. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a very sad day when he passed. He was doing what he loved I guess is the only consolation. Missed Still. RIP JOHN!
I had the privilege of seeing John in concert in San Francisco, 1971. It was actually a first date with my future husband. The concert was absolutely wonderful and an event I'll never forget. Thank you for the great reaction.
I had the privilege of attending two of his concerts.
The first one was a Christmas concert in Knoxville, Tennessee and a fabulous experience it was.
Then a few years later, he was I attended a concert of his in Birmingham , Alabama.
It was in February and the next fall he was gone.
I was such fan of his and it broke my heart.
He was such a great performer and entertainer.
The first time (I saw him 6 total) I saw John Denver was in the mid eighties. It was just him. No back up musicians, no singers, nothing. Just him and a half dozen guitars and even a piano for a couple songs. I have to say, even though I loved every concert of his that I went to, that stripped down acoustic solo concert is still, hands down, the best live performance I have ever attended.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction! John Denver was just so amazing, so talented, his lovely voice and gentle presence could always lift me out of a funk or lull me out of an anger. He is one of the rare artists that are better live than recorded.
My favorite John Denver song is Sunshine on my Shoulders
my favorite song by him. What a message of a young man finding himself and serenity
There is a video of him live playing "Bells of Rhymey on a solo 12 string guitar. It is a Pete Seeger song and shows off his phenomenal guitar playing ability
This is my favorite JD song, the intro, his voice, and the other instruments make into the masterpiece that it is
‘The eagle and the hawk’ is a wonderful song too. I saw John Denver in 1974 It was my first concert. Unforgettable!!! It was awesome!!
This song tells the story of him.
He was an amazing singer, a beautiful person inside and out who was taken from us far too soon.
Sir,We saw john 6 times.Im still saddened by his passing.I also had the opportunity to meet him in person in Road Island.back many years ago.Themost impressive tome was at whats called the Worcester centrum.He was on stage for 2 and a halfs.Alone It was absolutely magical,and we've never forgotten thst evening.It was as if he sang to each and every one of us personally.Thanks for asking.We still live John .thx
I grew up in Denver. I seen John Denver 3 times live at Red Rocks just west of Denver. There are no words which can explain what it was like. Epic, another reality from a much better place. I have seen all kinds of concerts, from the biggest bands, nobody compares to John Denver
I saw him in concert at least twice and was fabulous! But I also met him on my 18th birthday at a nice restaurant having dinner, his table was next to mine and he joined the restaurant singing my happy birthday. He was new on the scene and just had to get his autograph as I was really into his music ❤️
John is my most favorite artist! John did use backup artist and instrumentals but a lot of them he didn't need it. If you want a song with just him and his guitar, look up "This Old Guitar" on his tv show where he explains the story of the guitar his grandmother gave him and then sits and sings with it. That song gets me in the feels!
Great song, Lauren. I love it along with Matthew which doesn’t get played/reacted to. Sad.
@@chrispavlich9656 I love "Matthew' also! Other songs that people should do are "Dreamland Express" and another favorite of mine, "Shanghai Breezes."
It is so sad that he is gone. I listened to him all through high school but even at 67 he still is one of my favorite singers, I think he really gave me my love of nature and living on the land. I think you should listen to, what I consider, one of his more moving songs; "Poems, Prayers, and Promises". I guess it's because I am in my later years and not in the best of health I'm afraid, that I do love this song, you'll understand once you hear it.
You should watch the 1977 movie "Oh, God!" and you'll get that same feeling as his songs emit. John Denver and George Burns were a great duo.
Sunshine on my shoulders was my favorite when younger. His songs were used in movies years ago. The best Folk/country singer songwriter ever.
I told him he would one day walk in heaven with our Native Indigenous people because he had pure love in his heart and he loved and respected our mother earth and father sky and sacred waters and our sacred animals
Watch for some of his lesser known works as well. Poems, Prayers and Promises, This Old Guitar. Calypso (an anthem to the ship used by famed marine conservationist, Jacque Cousteau) and if you can handle it, Flying For Me. That's a tough one. He was to have been the first civilian in space. He had been chosen, and even started the training. Then a decision was made that the 1st civilian should be a teacher, not a celebrity. He was understandably terribly disappointed. Space was his dream and he'd come so close. We all, of course, know what happened to the teacher who took his place. So when he sings that "She was flying for me," it's not just a metaphor. She flew in his place -- and she died in his place, and he wrote that song in the immediate aftermath. It's a tough listen but it's beautiful.
I saw him 5 times at Red Rocks in Colorado (look up this outdoor venue!). I wouldn't trade those times for anything. He had remarkable presence with the crowd. The sound , the voice, the lyrics always touch my soul. Rocky Mountain High was made the official state song for Colorado. I miss him dearly.
I saw John Denver play many times. Most often at Blossom Music Center in Ohio. Perfect outdoor venue surrounded by woods. His voice was so clear, his lyrics so lovely. The only famous person I ever cried for when he died. He did leave so much music for us to enjoy.
I've been listening to John Denver since day early 70s. Listen to Thank God I'm a Boy. Then Listen to Boy in the Country. Thanks for your comments.
I grew up listening to John Denver and this song always makes me think of my father. When I was 8 years old we were on the stereotypical American family vacation driving cross-country from Chicago to Colorado in a station wagon with parents and 5 kids. Once we arrived, Dad immediately fell in love with Colorado and the Rocky Mountains and said the words "coming home to a place he'd never been before" was exactly how he felt. He eventually realized his dream of living there after he retired.
John Denver has so many great songs it's hard to choose, but I think you'd really enjoy "Calypso", especially if you're familiar with Jacques Cousteau and his underwater explorations as the song is a tribute (Calypso being Cousteau's research ship).
John could sing the phone book and make it sound great!
Calypso is my vote for your next reaction to John Denver. So good! You’ll love it.
I saw John at the Nassua Coliseum on Long Island, NY back in the late 70's. He and his band played for an hour, then the band took a break and John played solo for at least a half an hour before the band came back out and they finished out the show together. Outstanding performance!
If I could recommend a couple of his songs to you to review I would go with "The Eagle and The Hawk" and "Whiskey Basin Blues".
What words can be said? Just outstanding. I am surprised that he didn't have a musician in the band that could do the background vocal like the studio recording, but this is just a minor point. You must listen to "Matthew" THAT is a deep track that is outstanding. Tells a great story!
This Wildlife Tour was his final tour and I was lucky enough to see him when the tour came to California. It was absolutely wonderful. There are several more videos from this tour that can be viewed. Please checkout “Sunshine on myShoulders”, “Calypso”, “Darcy Farrow”, “For You”, “Poem, Prayers and Promises”, “I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado”, and “Back Home Again”. They are all wonderful!
His songs were mostly about his life and his experiences. Such a great songwriter. Gone way too soon.
One of my greatest regrets is never getting to see him in concert. My favorite is Of Eagles and Horses, not well known but the passion in his voice is incredible.
Such an incredible entertainer! I love his voice, and his songwriting was amazing! I miss him! My favorites are "Some Days Are Diamonds" and "Perhaps Love", which is a duet he did with Placido Domingo. Beautiful!
Ah... another person who loves "Some Days..." Not many know of it when I mention it. Hope he'll react to it! Love all his songs!
Eagle and the Hawk is my favorite, have been a fan since the 70's. Seen him a dozen or more times. Funny story we had 4 roll center when he was at Pine Knob in Michigan. My sister and sister-in-law are fighting over binoculars. I he spotted them, stopped playing his song. Shook his head and giggled and smiled at both of them and started playing again. They stopped after that. My sister got to talk to him at one of his concerts, he asked a question about fish, and she she shook her head yes like she had the same thing happen, and he started talking to her. She was so surprised all she could manage to say was Yup! He was an amazing singer, writer, and man.
I've loved John Denver since the '70s. His music has a purpose and communicates important things. Saw him live in Houston, Texas in 1979 and had good seats. Only 20 rows back or something like that. Still have a picture in my scrapbook from that show. Saw him again years later at the Austin airport when he flew his LearJet in for a concert. Didn't get to speak to him but it was fun being right there in the general aviation terminal when he came in.
A poet. Your right, one of my favorite concerts the backup instruments didn’t arrive so he did the whole thing playing just 2 or 3 guitars himself. Wonderful.
I have loved every single John Denver song I have ever heard in my life and I am 51 years old my best friend from high school actually got to go see him in concert. I never had the opportunity to go see him in concert. There is one song that nobody has reacted to actually there’s more than one song of his that nobody has ever reacted to and I don’t know why those songs aren’t as popular but I absolutely love them. As much as the popular ones one of those songs is called Raven’s Child, and the other is a very long one called Fox fire, suite
I saw john Denver in Poughkeepsie NY in the 90's and his voice was mature and rich. He brought the house down when he sang "For You" a beautiful song. So glad I have those memories. He was the best!
Thanks so much! JD was absolutely unique and beautiful... I love your reactions!
