What a privilege seeing this land through John's eyes ! Bless you John. ♥

I cried, the day he died. I think I was always a little bit in love with John Denver. He stood for animals who have no voice and what a beautiful voice he stood with. The world is shy a true hero! I think if he had lived longer, he might have been able to change the way we see life and the world that we've abused. Maybe even changed us. I will mourn his death till the day I die and hopefully I'll die before I see beautiful things like the Alaskan frontier, destroyed. God Bless you John Denver, there, up on high where the angels sing.
Oh, i also was in lovew him! His appearance on the Muppets solidified it!
I FEEL the same about Denver..... and the Animals
JOHN DENVER,,,SOOO MISSED EVERY SINGLE DAY 9/20/20 LOVE
AMEN ! Even today on DEC. 6, 2023. 💖My son, Jerry Alan Ralston felt the same way about Alaska. Praise GOD that he was able to live there for many years ! His Daughter and her family are living in Anchorage even now ! I feel like Jerry left his heart in Alaska. His ashes are scattered on a remote Alaskan Lake. I Thank M Masassa for posting this wonderful film ‼
just so you all know....I travel the world quite a bit and have heard country roads in many many country's and clubs...including thailand,vietnam, Spain,holland,Germany.. and more and more..some clubs in a remix that always makes people dance and sing.....it made my heart dance when I walked into a club in Magaluf and heard a remix and everyone knows the song(even young people)...
John has single handed affected millions of people's lives..whether the people know it or not...p.s.. also many cafes I've seen called.. 'far out....I wish everyone well...
He really loved his passion for Music and the Great Outdoors. The Adventure this Man just took us is unimaginable. Fly High John, 🛩 🦅🦅🗻🐳🌅🌄🐻
L♡VE JOHN'S ADVENTURES IN AUSTRALIA TOO🕺🏻❤
I am sewing face masks for people and medical frontline workers in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. This was so a joy to watch this again. I was 19 when this show came out. And after all these years the message in still meaningful..... Take care of each other, our wildlife and Mother Earth. Thanks so much for posting this. Peace to you.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼
@@andrerieumaastricht9811 thank you for replying. It has been a joy watching you grow up over the years. My first son was born in 1983. I named him Zachary. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who loved and honored your father. I wish for peace, love and abundant blessings for you and your family. Polly
@@RULQQKN1959 so sweet of you, you do WhatsApp or hangout, so we get in touch
Precious John Denver.......Miss him more every day.
The chasing John started was hilarious, I must say. John, you had the best voice for singing. .
Most beautiful song....John Denvers voice.....
I love this mans voice. He was an visionary it is a shame that such an beatitful soul is over looked now days. I wonder what he would have to say about the modern attitude to the environmental issues and the losses of wildlife. God bless John Denver a true Hippy and anthropologist.
Absolutely❤
One shouldn't wonder what John Denver would say about those things; shouldn't we know? Many wouldn't consider Denver to have been a hippy at all; that depends on one's definition.
What a wonderful person. Genuine, thoughtful, exciting, and so caring. So delighted to see this video. Thank you for sharing. and YES, I miss John's presence on planet Earth very much. But he was called home, his work on earth was complete.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕
@@andrerieumaastricht9811 I can only imagine how much you miss your Dad. I know without a doubt his spirit is with you every minute of every day. He was so excited to bring you home. Thanks for your response above, it was wonderful to see.
Fabulous documentary captivating all in nature and how they loved it. John was such an interesting and amazing storyteller too.
Was it? I think he had more music inside. Every part of his life produced more music.
Oh !what a wonderful film and John ,one of the best, if not THE best love him 😘
What a great storyteller....I could listen to him for hours...😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The wonderful voice of John Denver....Eternal
I first heard a John Denver song when I was 11 years old.. I remember when this was aired. I soaked up every minute and wanted more. This musician, the humanitarian, environmentalist and so much more shaped my young life and the person I would become like no other
Boy is he awesome..
I used to live in Alaska, an extraordinarily beautiful state;;the people are beautiful as well.. Thank you for posting this special. John you are missed,. I hope heaven for you and I , is very much like Alaska.ie a beautiful state of mind. with few people,lots of animals and God's beautiful vistas.
Thank you John. The beauty in your heart and soul to the beauty of this world God created for us all to see. We got to see this through your eyes as you brought this film back to us. Thank you John for putting the word's to your music and song's that only you could do with such passion in your Heart. You are with God now and seeing more beauty then even you could imagine. Sing your Soul out John with all God's Angel's. Know you are always in our heart's and in our Soul's. Your never ending voice that will always be heard, touching each and every one of us all. You are truly Blessed and Loved.
That was well said...😁❤
Yes you are so missed. We love you John. Thank you.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That was a beautiful tribute to John. Thank you for posting it. ❤️
Love John DENVER GREAT SINGER lovely man 🎸
Bravo to John for taking the chance on this show. He did it not for profit's sake, but to spread awareness.
The thing I always admired about John Denver, He was a real human being in his life.
Definitely a realist as well as very educated and wise..😁❤
For anyone out there who's having a bad day or a bad life it's because you care..
For anyone reading this fight for our children
I think he was an environmentalist before they all turned left wing political whack jobs.
Amazing human being.......You are soooo misses my friend.

Why has it taken me so long to see this movie?!
Truly amazing. John's thoughts and talent are beyond this world.
He can narrate better than David Attenborough too!
Both are AMAZING
The white water was exciting. I am glad they made it. Way to go big guys. 🤗
Wonderful footage of all that amazing, beautiful area ... !!😃❤️
Thank you for sharing this film & John’s wonderful voice ... 🎶🎤😌😊❤️💞💕
The filming is good. The underwater scene with the salmon trying to swim up river and the group of bears fishing for their lunch and feeding their young ones is exciting. The gulls are screaming to get their share of the fish. Then it was over.
Right, how did they do that???😳
John Denver, thats all you gotta say, listing to his voice just puts me at eas Boy that man can sing I'll bet nature is singing with him when his songs are on. he is the reason why i became an outdoors person.
Thank You John For your music and that great video documentary.
I often think about polar bears and their loss of frozen habitat. What a sad day when there are no more polar bears in the wild. Love this journey with John and friends.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼💞💞
I'm so happy I discovered your wonderful John Denver videos. Thank you so very much for sharing them with all of us who love him always!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video . Everything going on now this is so refreshing as is every thing about John Denver Please keep sharing Thank You
I am convinced that the reason John Denver so comfortably fit in with the native traditions & people is because of his childhood as an Air Force Brat. Every time we traveled to a new station or visited another family my father made certain we were all aware that we were guests in that place. We were to be a friendly and respectful guest so we would be welcome back.
Obviously a great trait to aquire... he was so warm and friendly...😁❤
It seems very few anymore know what it is to be respectful, or friendly. Presumptuous, rude, attitudinal, antagonistic, yes, but respectful and friendly, no.
I was in basic training when this aired and my Drill Sgt. knew I was going to Alaska for my first post. He gave me CQ that night and left a note telling me what channel it was on.
Thank you Sgt. Punska. You were a great Drill Sgt.
GREAT VOICE>>>
LOVE>>>LOVE>>>LOVE
So glad I found this-God bless you, Alaska, and John Denver. He is still with us. On my bucket list, for sure-before the snow and ice melt from Global Warming.❇️

McCarthy is my home and it’s so wonderful to see John running around the old mine (that’s now very unstable) the people are still just as friendly and free 💛
Your voice is missed. Thanks for all the songs and the advocacy for wilderness. "no one can fix all the problems of the world, but if we each do one thing we can make the world a better place for all" JD 1993
Aaaaaawwwhhh....🤧❤ so true....so true...
Wow, what a beautiful incredible landscape of Alaska . What an incredible trip with the bears, fishing for salmon for their meals.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a treat to observe this documentary. It is made like no other.
So happy to see him happy, like a kid. ❤
John... one of a kind.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very cool!
Loved it, really wonderful experience
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
Author, film maker, song writer, singer and performer; and an amazing friend to those who grew up with, or just behind him(like myself)-he cast a vision and stated a mission that many of us can pick-up on and work toward. As he said, "let's keep it, because if leaves it won't be coming back. We know well enough that once things change they are pretty much irreversible.
I whole heartedly agree!
Takes alot of strength to change things back...but I believe we have to fix the damage that's happening today...yes things won't be the same, but we must try....
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I sure appreciate John's tribute to my home state. He will be missed as times seem to get worse and worse for the environment, especially the north.
So Colton,how has the environment got worse in Alaska??? I live here,same great place,only Anchorage has gone to crap!
This is more real than any National Geographic film I've ever seen!
Absolutely wonderful, beautiful film ... 😃😊❤️💕
He lived such a fulfilling but too short of a life. 😢
so sad he's gone. Losing all the great people too early. He will be dearly missed.
Damn right ..Its sad, world needs people like John
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can’t get over this show . I can’t get over this guy. What a sweetheart!Now I actually think I love bears and mountains. and where I’m from it’s pretty flat and we got lots of squirrels.and wild turkeys. Thank you John!🌹❤️🇺🇸
Fascinating. Thank you for posting this documentary.

Pauline Pelletier yeah we still have the same chair in the living room John sat in . My uncle knew him and used to drink a beer with him every now and then 😇
So they were making a song called "We are the world" but they told JD he couldn't participate because basically he didn't "fit in"?? Wow. The hypocrisy is laughable!
Chase scene ....so funny! What fun that must have been.
Watching this in the town of McCarthy right now!
Wow, what a raw and isolated life up there in Alaska.
But so breathtaking....quiet....nobody around to bug you...or judge you....peace....like John says...its far out😁❤
I spent a summer up there in McCarthy 24 years ago and it was lonely at times. But it was also one of the most memorable times of my life. I'll never forget it--the people, the wilderness, man I miss it.
Not every place in Alaska is raw and isolated! Some places are actually civilized!
A lot has changed in the last 30-40 years. One shouldn't consider it to be as it was then.
WOW !!! FAR OUT !!! THANK YOU ALSO !!!
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼

Love you JD but the ban on whaling should NOT apply to the Eskimos ...
Yes, the whaling ban has been partially lifted on the eskimos; they have a limit on how many they can kill, but they can still do whaling.
Great stuff there! Although John certainty isn't no Rex Allen, but he did a wonderful job! I could listen to johns story telling all day long........Thanks!
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼
Thank You!! Beautiful!!
Fantastic!!! ❤️
20:56 Denver is having second thoughts about his trip here
I am still upset, loss of Mr. Denver
Sad bears get killed when a human goes into their territory and gets attacked. It’s their instinct, just like it’s our instinct to protect our families and homes from home invasions.
please dont stop sharing video about him
:
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your Dad was such a wonderful human being ... 😊❤️
Thank you for sharing him, his wonderful music & words with us all .... 🎶🎤😌😊❤️💞💕
The only version of the song, American Child to exist. It is much better than the studio version.
30:56 not without a .375 H&H Magnum. Nope, that would be TOO close!!!
John Denver is the most beautiful soul to ever walk this Earth. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your channel and for uploading this movie, it makes my heart smile.
I've loved John Denver since I was 4, he was my first musical influence, and I always wished he was my Dad.
John didn't seem to be scared of anything!!
Red Dodge fed 55 of us--Methodist kids and counselors in Alaska for work at the Jesse Lee orphanage--a feast of his just-caught salmon steaks, potato salad, bread, and more in August 1978. He had photos of JD all over their house. I have never forgotten him, his hospitality, and his influence on and friendship with John Denver. Glad to have watched this again after 40 years.
any one no where there is full vids with better quality
American child un buon documentario di un epoca dove gli ambientalisti erano veri ,non sti gretini di oggi.
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow this must have been filmed right after he did the movie "Oh God!" the year before
Thanks for the love and support all these years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent
