A man of unlimited talent.. who gave flawless performances, singing sweet melodies to the beautiful picking of his guitar. The critics were idiots.. and this man filled seats into the 90s and will be forever loved for his gift of music. 💗💗
This man changed the world.. and left it a better place.
So very true!!
The sad and untimely passing of John Denver left a big void in the wonderful but neglected music of yesteryear. He was a consummate performer par excellence and is unforgettable.
We all miss Him terribly, I am so grateful to have spent some space on this earth with this amazing man ❤
I have loved his soft and clear voice for a long time We got married to his song One Love I will always be a fan and know l will meet him one sweet day 🕊️💕
I was at this concert, newly married 20 year old, loved this man so much, and still do . Taken too soon
If only modern "stars" would do positive music like he did, the world would be a better place.
As strange as it may sound I do believe that's true, positive and uplifting music can make a difference👍🌹🕊
Still are right here in 2023!!
Pure talent! Perfect pitch! Incredible creativity! No one like him before OR sense
RIP JD
U r still singing me thru my life @ 83!❤️
John Denver carried Colorado in his voice, Colorado must be a beautiful place 😊
Colorado is a very beautiful state. I like to call it God's Country. I'm blessed to live in New Mexico, next state near Colorado. I go snow skiing, fly fishing, white water rafting, hiking in Colorado. There's a lot to do. Of course, the mountains and scenery are gorgeous.
Without auto-tune, without any other fakes - just pure talent, people.
Don't you think some days are just "John Denver Days"? Clear, cool, blue skies. Blustery days with the sun shining down on autumn leaves blowing and swirling around. I wake up to days like this and JD is the only music for that day!
I think there should really be an official John Denver Day. 😉
All the radio stations playing his music, TV specials about him & his music, etc.
I really think he deserves that!
❤ Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The absolute best singer,in my opinion. He helped me through some very rough times,in my life. Rhymes and Reasons,cried like a baby,when he died. His music will live forever.
Sunshine on my shoulder.... i heard this song as i was 15 and walked with my dog Timmy in the forest of my hometown in Germany. I heard the song per walkman, it was so fantastic the sun shined on my shoulder... i was so lucky full of warm feelings like now in this moment! John Denver was my hero, my first concert was 1979 John Denver in Düsseldorf! He gones so early, but his music stay forever!!!! Thank you Mr. Deutschendorf!!!!
He is Deutschendorf. Not dorfer. 🧐🤟🏻
What a blessing for you to hear him live
God, I still miss John Denver. I was in my mid-twenties when he died.
Annie's Song is the greatest love song ever written.
You might be right (and I'm a rocker at heart . . . ) .
My husband and I were at this concert when we lived in England! I had recently had our second son who is now 44! This was the first time I had been out of the house and I was sooo happy and excited!! He never left the stage to have an intermission. I couldn’t play the radio for a week. I was so homesick for the US and my family left behind…I really miss that he’s no longer with us❤❤
it still hits my heart at the age of 68 when I hear his voice and play his songs on the guitar. I almost always cry 💕💕
I hear you, same here!
At 65 I totally agree with you.
"...Sunshine almost always makes me cry".
@@dw2793me to i am 65 now❤❤
Me too, at 76. He hasn’t changed my beliefs, but I love to hear him celebrate nature (Annie’s Song, so many others), and I love his hope for peace and overwhelming love for this world. He always touches my heart and often makes me smile, often makes me cry. ❤😢
Suas musicas alegram minha vida, acalentam meu coração
Obrigada por ter existido.
As I wrote somewhere else before, he was liquid sunshine, pouring in from the sky and intertwining around each little particle in existence. He is one of God's gifts to us to help us through our time on earth! Thank you Jesus for letting us share his life for just a little while!🙏🥰❤️
What a gift he was given. A once in a lifetime songwriter, musician and performer. I do not expect anyone to measure up to him in my lifetime. God took him too early.
I've always known who John was but I never really appreciated his music until my 1st daughter was born. Sometime around then I fell in love with John's music and message, his writing helped shaped my world view into something that I like to think is rational, centered, tolerant, and loving. While being true to my own beliefs and convictions, John's music had a profound impact on me and touched me somewhere deep in my spirit. After my oldest daughter God gave us a son and 2 more daughters, they're all old enough now to appreciate his music and it is one of my greatest joys to introduce them to the music of John Denver. Thanks John, thanks for everything.
In addition to being a great songwriter,,, This guy was one of best singers to ever walk the stage. His singing skills have been incredibly underrated. His pitch, range and vibrato was amazing. He always sounded as good in concert live as the album. So sad he left us so soon.
Great summary. Totally agree. Gorgeous, timeless voice - a glorious God-given gift that he never lost until he left us.
Not a great songwriter. I respect his performing/playing. If not for Country Roads (which was already written), he probably wouldn’t have gotten a new record deal (the first three of his four-record contract flopped). Okay?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I love your style of music John Denver.
So true
Jus brilliant
I love the crystal clear vocals he had. Listened to his music in my teen years and recieved my first guitar. I still play his music on my acoustic guitar, often sing outdoors in nature. My own concert just because I love music.
Annie's Song sung by John Denver is musical perfection. We were so lucky to have him on this earth - his time here left us with so many memorable tunes - he was truly a unique and gifted artist.
People will be singing John Denver songs for centuries to come. It’s what marks him out as one of the greats.
A great singer and a brilliant song writer with fantastic typical voice that no one in this world actually can imitate his voice. ❤❤
What an incredible man and songwriter. I miss him so much.
What a terrible loss when he died. I met John 40 years ago. I considered to be a friend and I was devastated when I heard he died when his plane crashed.
Such a talent, cool beautiful voice, timeless.
Some things once missing can never be replaced. We love and miss you from our souls. Your loss is still a painful crushing wound in my heart.
Goosebumps every time I hear him sing. Gone way too soon!!!!
Guy was crazy good. Such a pure voice singing his own songs. What talent!
I agree!
I feel blessed to be born in the 70's when people had a positive view of the world and people were trying to make this world a better place and people weren't yelling, mean, and caustic things at someone who had a different viewpoint. I remember when believed in more than themselves. Then the fake news was UFOs, Bigfoot, and Roswell. People sang about nature wonder in the world and true love. Thank you John Denver! When people imagined 2020 they thought of flying cars. Who could have imagined 2020 would be the characterized most by people telling lies... spreading them .. making money for how well they can spread them. The future is definitely beyond imagination.
Well, it's all spelled out in our Bible. By the time our Messiah Yeshua comes again, the Bible says it will be just as it was in the days of Noah...
one of the greatest pure voices in history..... and musical talent!!
Remembering my Mum on her birthday often leads me to listen to some John Denver. She was a massive fan - no other musician even came close for her. We all loved JD. This was the first time we ever saw him live. He toured the UK roughly every 3 years and we saw him in concert around half a dozen times between '79 and '97. Great nights.
One of the first artists i ever saw playing a twelve string guitar great,
If you close your eyes you will think you are listening to his studio recordings , a feat very few current singers can even come close to emulating.That is how great he was..
I grew up with his music, I grew inside And outside. He sang my feelings, he reached my soul, he saved myself by singing my passions, my feelings, my fe
John was the best !❤😊
v
What a Great Quality Recording!! Brought me back many years when I was looking forward to the next concert and waiting for John’s next Album!! RIP John 😢 and Thank You for the Music!
When John came to town in the early Seventies, we'd park at the observatory, slide down the hill, hop over the fence and sit in the last row of the Greek Theatre and experience the greatest evenings of our young lives.
As a composition major, I deferred to the work of this man many times to achieve seamless, smooth and deceptively technical transitions in pieces. The key? Loosen up, lose inhibition, don't hate anyone and don't be angry.
The great John Denver
Pure genius!
John Denver's music is the heart and soul of country 🎸 His melodies are timeless, and his voice brings nature to life 🍃
He was very gifted, very unique as a musician and as a person!
El color de su voz incomparable ❤🎉🎉 gracias, gracias por seguir en el tiempo a los que somos tu fans 😊
I love John Denver , his voice & songs were the Best , the world will never be the same without this great kind man & his beautiful soul.
I cried so much too. Went to my factory job and felt horrible. Hard to work!!!! 19 albums, tshirts, cassette tapes and 8 tracks!!! Picture of him at one of the concerts! What a great guy!
Ronald from Aberdeen. Saw him in Glasgow in 1976 and Aberdeen in 1994. Sadly missed. Never tire listening to him
I was blessed to have seen 5 of his concerts. A true legend. He touched many.
An American treasure, enjoyed by the whole world! A true talent, no auto tune, no ear piece, just talent.
John Denver have been long gone but his beautiful music all about life, love, friendship, nature and many many more continue to touch lives of people from all walks of life all over the world. Thanks John, you’re always in our hearts 🌹🙏
Mein Mann war trackfahrer und wir beide liebten contry Musik. Auf seiner Beerdigung spielten wir von john Denver ,, contry road,, ich hatte das Gefühl wir sitzen beide im track auf der strasse , es war so eine tiefe erfahrung. Danke john dafür RIP
Hola Baby Boomer, I really could not find anything better to say about JD, he was the greatest , & I'm proud to class him in my circle of friends, not only one of the nicest of people,but the greatest singer / songwriter/ & musician in the last century. What a talent.RIP my friend. We will meet again, of that I am sure , Terence Jon. Lanzarote Canary Islands España
Wow James Burton and Hal Blaine on drums!! fantastic band.
Hal, the foundation of The Wrecking Crew.
This is a man of perfect pitch. I miss you.
John , we really need you ! You’re so missed ….. thank you for the music 🎶
Cant believe RCA dropped him. Such a talent gone too soon. He was still touring after RCA dropped him. Whatever. they're loss is our gain.
U r so very right!!!! His fans are still listening to him on TH-cam!!! It's awesome to see the concerts in other countries! I was blessed to see him 5 times! South bend Indiana. He was in the round! I was 12 away from him!!!!! Then Kalamazoo and Morris Civic for Christmas concert. I bought a teddy bear with his name on the shirt! Merrillville Indiana. He heard us yell we love you John and he said I love you too! We were overjoyed!!!! John we will see you in heaven!!! He's singing with the Angels ❤❤❤❤❤
My husband and I were at this concert. I had just had my second son and this was my first time away from him. Only John Denver could have made me leave my Tom’s side for a few hours! We came back to the US the day after Charles and Diana’s magnificent wedding in 1981. We loved England but we were ready to come home again.💝💝
John Denver has always been one of my absolute favorite artists. 🙂
That's exactly why we bought our 12-string guitars back then. John is and remains simply immortal!
My sister Carla loved John Denver.She had every album.She got me to love him too! I miss both of them Dearly!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
John, this world in 2020 needs you now more than ever. Your beautiful clear voice always reminded us of what was most important and your generous, loving soul gave us peace and hope. You are so missed and will be forever loved. Rest In Peace, dear friend.
I just watched John Denver / Washington Peace March [04/24/1971]
on TH-cam. I am touched by his soul and humanity care for this world. I cannot agree with you more, this world in 2020 and 2021 needs him more than ever! Peace peace and peace not any violence in this world!
@@user-iu8lv8vu5k uh l

Baby Boomer AMEN RIP! Perhaps God Almighty EL took him to live in eternity with HIM!!
@@user-iu8lv8vu5k We need to just keep spreading his messages The world needs to hear them
Yes, it was a great loss that leaves us nostalgic. May he be in the Peace of the Lord and may he intercede for this world, which is getting worse and worse.
John Denver, einfach nur toll 😊
John Denver. Singer of Songs for my Soul! Miss you John!
God bless you John. You sound wonderful!
Immer noch mein Superstar. Ich vermisse seine Songs sehr
This needs no caption... it's just pure beauty. A legend.
Beautiful soul
SO VERY SPECIAL, HE CREATES ENTIRE MOODS AND MEMORIES, TOTAL MUSICAL GENIUS, MISSED VERY MUCH !!!
NO ONE ELSE IN ALL MUSICAL HISTORY AS PROLIFIC, OR AS PROFOUND, IN THE SONGWRITING WORLD !!!
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MALE SOLO ARTIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to spend an afternoon with him and Dick Kniss, his bass player who was previously with Peter, Paul and Mary, as they set up for a concert in a small college town in 1973. They practiced a few songs not yet released and my wife fortunately got to interview him for a local newspaper in the side dressing room…we kept the tape for 20 years or so and at some point we lost it…. You could hear his tea pot whistling in the background at the end. Still have the pix he autographed for us. I know and play many of his songs by heart on my guitar. Miss the guy.
ENJOYED SO MUCH.JOHN IS PURE GOLD🧡
My group sang this at my brother's wedding great song! I will never forget my families response to all of the Denver music. John picked up many new fans that day.Shine on us🙏
What a talented man he was. i grew up listening to him because my mom liked him and had his records. I remember watching him on the muppet show as a kid. (i was born in 1975). my parents exposed me to such wonderful music. i will always love them for that. i still listen to John Denver to this day.
John Denver speaks to me more than any other artist. His lyrics speak to me. I feel his spirit and it absolutely makes me happy. Thank God for John Denver and all his incredible fans! Bless you all! Love from Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I agree, me too. This was a great concert to watch
The most enjoyable artist of voice and song still is outstanding today love to john your sunshine we will always remember you .CX
Thank God for you Gregory for being one with the music. Peace and love to you.
Amen!
Me too Gregory
Grazie John per tutta la bellezza e l'emozione che ci dai ancora oggi... Riposa sereno.
È vero!
I can’t be the only one who loves Farewell Andromeda the best! So entertaining and energetic!
Saw him the 3rd and last time in concert in the early 90s. The stadium held about 10k people. He sold
I've seen him several times in concert. He was big in the Netherlands. I was in NYC when he died, I still remember my shock.
@Paul Whitcomb . . . I read what you are stating , Paul. Looking back through that wonder that is 'hindsight' ... truth is that you/we could not afford to miss 'it'
... those '$60's are/were a fair exchange. I will forever regret the '£30-40's (during the '80's and '90's) that I chose not to afford to see 'greats' more times than I did. Travelled to The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in '12 from the far north of England to see, nay 'witness' Neil Diamond celebrate the 40th anniversary of the greatest live album of them all- 'HOT AUGUST NIGHT. Those monies are paid back ... the memories are eternal. Those are the best nights of our lives.
Be well
The songs came from his heart. There will never be another. Nine thousand people missed an unforgettable experience.
John Denver is my all time favorite male singer. Many songs he sings brings me to tears. Some of sadness and many from happiness. I still miss him. Too many songs to say which is my favorite but two of them are Annie's Song and Sunshine on my Shoulders. My go to songs at kareoke. RIP My friend and brother.
I’ve seen him so many times. He touched my soul! Made me feel good! Really miss him ❤️
At a time when the majority were bashing their drums in a frenzy, John Denver reminded us of the beauty of life and nature and brought these beautiful peaceful times into our lives. I love these songs he gave us. RIP my musical friend,
One of the greatest performers of all time. So blessed i got to see him in concert at least once.
Indubtiavelmente as músicas e artistas antigos são os melhores, com certeza
Best EVER....!!!! Saw this concert. Loved his female backup singer. Awesome.
I think she's Pat Hawk.
Renee Armand… She sang “Morning After” from the Poseidon Adventure, Carol Lynley was lip synching to Renee’s voice.
The greatest musical genius of all time. "Sunshine in my Shoulders" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
"...on my shoulders."
I LOVE most of John’s music❣️ But, there’s something about
“Sunshine” that’s made it my favorite from the beginning‼️🤗
I agree. My number 1
And you’re one of the most beautiful people ever born
@@NatureNoah1104 We all are! I love Johns songs, but there are plenty of great songs out there from other writers that I love hearing people sing to! I tell myself that a song I hear is my favorite until I hear another like Gordon Lightfoot singing one of his songs, and then tell myself that his song is my favorite! LOL
Not a great fan of Country Music until John Denver came along. Love his music so sorry he is not around anymore to entertain us all .
I never thought of him as a country music artist but rather a folk artist
He is definitely more of a folk artist.
He could sing any genre of music.
Very talented.
Que j aime vous écouter vous me donner de l apaisement et du bonheur que de l humanité dans vos chansons vous nous manquez terriblement, merci
Wow James Burton on guitar what a career he had, Ricky Nelson. Elvis presley and John denver to name but a few.
Annies song was played at a good mates funeral, the saddest day of my life. To watch his 8 year old kid who idolised him not want to go into the church and just hang out side kicking dust I saw the loneliest person on earth for an hour....it deeply affected me, I am very good friends with this young man now and I still cannot talk about that day with him. I just try to help him in any way I can.
My wife and I listened to John Denvers music most of our married life of 48 years until I sadly lost the love of my life last year
I fill up with tears and become a wreck playing Annie's song
Johns music was a gift to humanity and so underrated by mainstream music
I miss you and am grateful for the wonderful music you left
In tears here as I listen to good bye again
It's 1 am alone but with my wife in my mind and soul listening to your wonderful songs thank you so much.
@@MrKjc105I wish you the best and hope your doing okay
His music is so imbued with beauty. I often wake up hearing his tunes in my head. Not a.bad way to greet the morning.
2nd that
Good idea-- I may try playing some of his music for first thing in the a.m.
Me, too. So often I wake up with one of his songs playing in my head.
Me too

John Denver one of the greatest musicians ever ,
So beautiful...
Blessed to have seen John play live five times including his last ever concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London April 1997. Sadly just a few short months later he was tragically taken from us. A true genius in every sense of the word and sadly missed.
His music lives on with tribute performers like Jim Curry. If you haven't seen him, you should. If you close your eyes you would swear John Denver was alive and well.
I loved growing up to his music and how as I grew older his music spoke to my ethics and my love of nature and the wilderness. John too had his demons. Success and his meteoric rise brought its negatives and his divorce to his wife Annie. John learned humility and as it seemed he had managed to find success once again and the beautiful PBS video that featured Yellowstone, what an amazing song that speaks to just how much I miss him. He was a very human individual that now at my age of 61, what I'd give to hear his voice. My goodness he could write a song.
Right on, Bill.
I love watching his Wildlife Concert show on DVD while I'm on my treadmill. So many great songs on that DVD.
Oh I have luved John Denver's singing that we can see when we close our eyes, forever 💖
Australia
He is a genius👏👏
I can cry happy/sad tears, when listening to some of John Denver's songs. There's a generosity and gentleness in this man that is very special. There's also his ancestry, Native American, shining through his appearances and music, as I perceive it. A down to earth charisma, that has not one spot of Hollywood lustre in it. By the way, the choice of musicians is superb. The flutist is extraordinary musical and sensitive in his playing. Thank you for a video with this concert. 💎🙏
I guess he has German ancestors, as the surname of his parents suggests. Don't think hes ancestors were Native Americans.
Please stop the five dollar Indian nonsense. He’s never had Native American ancestry verified. It’s beautiful that you see that but come on. Just celebrate him for what he was. And still is.
@@hoodyniszwangsjacke3190 They weren’t. Thank you!
I was VERY lucky - saw John in concert in Glasgow (one of the nights he mentioned) Love and miss him so much 😪❤🏴
הזמר והיוצר האגדה ג'ון דנבר ז"ל. איזה אבדה לעולם כולו, אך להיטיו הגדולים נישארו איתנו לנצח. נוח על משכבך במנוחת עולמים.
My God he was so sweet! If course the JD we saw wasn’t the same JD as those close to him was, but his songs always brought an emotion to me.
Thank you, John. For the music you gave and left for us. Can’t wait to hear you play and sing in heaven 🙏🏼
Love this man so much❤❤❤❤❤
This man could sing the phone book and it would still sound beautiful.....
JOHN..is the coolest voice of country music.John forever alive in our hearts i missed John..
He was taken from us much to soon. I drove from home to D.C. listening to his cassettes to report for duty at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after Basic training. He was the Best.
He was such a beautiful storyteller ❤
