John Denver - Starwood in Aspen

[peggyo39neill]

As long as I live I will never forget John Denver and I thank God for his songs and what a blessing he was to the world.



[Earthlinked]

To be remembered in the hearts of those you have left behind - is to never die!!!!! See you later JD!!!

[gcollin75]

I was born in Fort Collins Colorado (about 40 miles north of Denver) and I think I'll die here.

[edayson2002]

Beautiful tribute to one of the World's most naturally talented song writer and musician, John Denver! I grew up listening to his music and even named one of my dogs, Sunshine :) Thank you for sharing this video!

[BOOGEEBUZ]

There was an instrumental on one of John's albums that I had when I was a kid. I've been looking and listening to all of the vids here on youtube. Do you have any idea what the title of that song might be??

[JoeGroomlake]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

[jewellers100]

I dedicate all JD songs to my friend Soondren. You used to buy the JD lp's bru. Way back in da day in Unit 5 Chatworth, Durban, South Africa. Hope you well. You may think I have forgotten u. But JD keeps me in tune with my good ol days in SA.

[calgal2hulagal1]

For Len my friend from long ago...thinking of you .just because we both love JD..this is for you...

[katiebee221]

I moved to Colorado because John Denver introduced me to it when I was 12 living in KC. I have been here for 30 years and love my state everyday. I can still hear your voice when I'm up in the mountains, miss you John...xo

[crazywayz77]

its really nice that their are still people out there that dont forget my uncle and all of the great music, and all the different people he brought together throughout his life, seeing his old house and hearing this song reminds me of all the christmas me and my family spent at his home, and all the wonderful memories ,no matter how much time goes by, i will never forget my uncle and the important role his music has played in my life, and soon to be the lives of my children thank you for this

[trichoone]

@crazywayz77 No I thankyou so nice to hear from a relative of the great man , i love music and am mainly from Rock genre but John made such beautiful music hard to ignore - just magic , glad my vid was appreciated by his Family , his music will never die .--trichoone .

[333whippet]

@crazywayz77 I love the songs from John Denver. I am from Germany and I have record sets from John Denver's music. Thanks to a person like you .... You keep him alive in people's heart. Beautiful phothographs with the song.

[MeatloafTribute1]

@crazywayz77 I ove his music! first songs i ever learned were his, inspired me to become a pro singer , thank you for the music xx

[k3333vrl]

@crazywayz77 hi mr denver is a legend to me,, as a boy in growing up in the uk john was my dads idol and he played all these hits while i was growing up,, these songs are inprinted in my memories but now im a man i can really appreciate... john will always live on all over the world ... respect i would love to have met him

[PrincessTippytail]

@crazywayz77 I can't imagine anyone who ever knew him, who ever got to hear his beautiful music, being able to forget him. Just not possible.

[Pigsfly23]

@crazywayz77 Great to hear from you. I had the pleasure of meeting John back many years ago. To this day he remains my favorate. I listen to John's music often and I can't wait to meet him again in heaven.

[nancypo1]

He still had that really high tenor, when he was younger. I liked the way his lower register developed as he got older...

[kgard09]

The sound quality gives it that rustic, cool touch Denver meant for the song. I like it. It makes me think of a lazy summer day on a porch out in the country.

[animalwaystation]

Brings back memories...back in 1972, I met my first horse Star when she was a year old and I was 13. We went on to show in many different events through the years....and her show name? "Aspenstarwood". Star became very well known in horse show circles because not only was she very talented, she was also a horse born and raised in the mountains and was as sure-footed as a cat and absolutely fearless in any environment...not traits usually found in show horses. Aspenstarwood-3/29/71-2/27/95

[SuperBlackrose1992]

I remember my dad playing his guitar with all of john denvers songs... RIP DADDY AND JOHNNY!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

[athabascka]

Oh my friends are the snow covered hills!

[xiejianfa]

Thanks for sharing this lovely song..god bless you. We miss John terribly.....

[TheKanthanurak]

GREAT

[carolethompson312te1]

there are no words, equal to this song and many of Johns songs.. love the video xx

[Nintendere]

wonderful. That's the only thing I've gotta say. No matter what the lyrics mean to you, it always felt like my home song.

[Libelya]

beautiful

[bilbo2shire]

I don't know whatever happened to Kevin Smith from B-Btry 2?27 Friedberg, West Germany but I sure hope he found peace when he got home to Denver. Former US Army Sergeant Willie Means bilbo2shire

[Yonosam11]

great vid, great song.. R.I.P John

[bcats60]

I was lucky to see him in concert in1978 at Evansville ,ind sold out never will forget it!!

[Suki40330]

Awesome. I so want to move there. It's like heaven on earth.

[HobokenXVI]

This is so beautiful. A breathtaking song.

[Kallmedoc]

bunch of wood hippies built an outdoor ampitheater. first show, had the dirt band, and a band called Starwood. Show was going on great. I' standing at the top of the "bowl" with a lady that meant a lot to me and this guy walks up beside me. I look at him turn to her, said, hey he looks just like John Denver. she looks around me says, thats because it IS john denver. seems he was sponsering the band Starwood. We had a great time that day.

[MarineForceRecon]

I live not far from Aspen .........there's truly no place like Colorado anywhere else on Earth

[mat1500]

I live in Copper, lived 10 years in Vail, moved to Colo., from the big city, back in '79. This song sums up the local's truth, "just another day in paradise", for most of us, young or old. The joy of Colorado is awesome, such positive energy, whether the mountain tops or the valleys, in the Colorado Rockies, here in the high country. Recon is right!

[medtrans9]

For some reason I don't have this song. Haven't heard it in at least a few years, yet I picked it right up again and sang along like I'd heard it yesterday. Such a sweet tune, and the lyrics are wonderful.

[slct111]

In 1986 I made my 1st of many trips to Colorado.I was 27-imagine that. I went to Aspen just to see if I might run into John. I had breakfast in a nice little place by where I had spent the night. While I was eating-John came in with another guy and sat at the table near me. What was the chances of that?

[wetvulcan2]

I get still tears in my eyes when i hear his songs

[zebul0717]

I am still sad...

[rickcw14]

There won't be another songwriter and singer like John. His voice touched so many lives. Just to hear his music brings back many wonderful memories of a more simple time. You can listen to his music and sing along even if you haven't heard the song in years. R.I.P. John

[habbadou]

I haven't been to Aspen in years... Spectacular mountains in that area... I need to get back. Sweet Rocky Mountain paradise indeed.

[sweetpea027]

This song makes me cry for John & his nice family. I am so sorry for their lost.

May God bless John Denver's memories.

~~~Love Ava~~~

[Choefoe]

new dvd releade JD around the world 5 dvd box set ,release oct 13th 2009

[Kallmedoc]

1976 a bunch of us wood hippies built an outdoor ampitheater in a lil town in Missouri first show, the Dirt Band, Brewer/Shipley and a band called Starwood. Lady friend of mine holding my hand at the top of the hill, said look what you did. Fella walks up on the other side of me I look at him then tell her, he looks just like John Denver. She laughed, said It is John Denver. He was there to watch the band he sponsered. Starwood. We had a great weekend. He got onstage and played and sang for fun

[Laurar44]

I am so jealous! I always wanted to see him - never did. His music touched me as I was growing up and beyond. I miss him and his music so much.

[Earthlinked]

@Kallmedoc The Band was "The Starland Vocal Band" - not Starwood - Denver lived in a place called Starwood - a ntown in Aspen, Colorado - which was an old farm - with lots of acreage - that was converted into a nieghborhood of very expensive lots!!!!!!

[beavis4play]

great song........thanks trichoone. and hey, the audio is good. no apologies needed.

[michaelflorida48]

how can anyone not love this music

[moovgirl]

I love this song. (-:

[21536987]

I didnt realize how much I loved Johns music and him also until he was gone Thank god for his music Thank you John for being you.

[littletrouble0792]

This song always reminds me of my old home and how much I miss it. Thanks for posting it!

[ScaeanGate]

I was going to night-classes after work on the day after John's death in 1997, when my brother came to meet me to tell me the news. I went to class, but didn;t hear a word. All I could think of was such a large part of my youth, suddenly gone. John Denver lived the life of a romantic poet - touched by pain and elevated by the beauty of nature to which he was attuned. Thanks for this video/montage and thanks to JD for being "the best that you could be"....

[Smartboy8877]

@ScaeanGate

I had a similar experience when Jim Henson died back in 1990. Very painful indeed!

[TACYELLA11]

Good Morning.Thanks for posting this great video!

[christopherallendunk]

long time to hang in the sky, great lyrics

[campfirestories]

John would have loved this video. Great images reflecting his lyrics. I liked the "snow-covered hill" photo the best. Great job. Thanks.

[brent1955]

the beautiful fresh inspiring nature lovin', free spirited music of John Denver helped my live my life in my searching youthful years, and was still a treasure in my ensuing years... John Denver, I love ur spirit and ur soul! I wept intermittently for about 3 days on hearing of ur departure, but i prayed and i still pray, that God will watch over U always and care for U. I had a dream to visit and meet U and i gez it will have to be in heaven when my time is up. U have my grateful tearful love..

[AnalgesicBalm]

Aspen ROCKS

[prazmj]

Yeah, with hollywood assholes, it's not like the good ole days. boulder went to hell too.

[jahjahcarr]

Big Chune from a Big Mon, Love you John, Nuff Respect!  Lickle more-RIP.

[nicefrog45]

Another lovely scenic video to one of John's best songs. Very apt views that show us what he is singing about. You are truly missed John,the world is a sadder place without your personality, conservationism, music,voice and wide grin ! RIP John (hope you met Steve Irwin at the gates and are enjoying fine conversations about all aspects of life on this beautiful planet)

[Jonny0Colorado]

Awsome timeless John Denver

[ilikegia]

Always remember that our youth group would listen to John's music when coming to Colorado.. Some of us even saw him at the Aspen Music Tent in 1980.

[breffnipark]

Lovely piece. Thank you.

[GirlinaDoll]

This is so beautiful that I have a lump in my throat ...... I'll always miss John Denver..

[hdiylove7]

Beautiful! Love Colorado so much too, my home for now... Read National Sunday Law by Jan Marcussen sometime soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[motleycruenoob]

John Denever is the best!!!!! and will always be!

[astalley]

John Denver will always be my favorite singer. I still have the ticket stub from Nov. 16, 1976. The tickets sold for $10. I'll never forget him or his music.

[jdstillshines]

Beautiful tribute!!

[trichoone]

thankyou but i wish my images had been of better quality - trichoone

[JulianLennon1]

That's okay trichoone, we follow what you're trying to say....

Peace

[trichoone]

thanks and likewise my friend .

[aghi75]

his voice makes you dream, it seems to see an eagle flying slowly over the mountains, seems to breathe the fresh air ... even in Italy in Milan we appreciate the great Denver! I learned this song with the guitar when I was 15 years ... good to hear that again. Thanks john

[aghi75]

[SoarinRockies]

What a great video. Nice pics!

[ironhunter52]

my buddys &i used to listen to john on our 8 track tape players. he was he was on the top of the radio charts back then. sure brings back some good memories . thanks for these videos.

[aaronburns55]

Really makes me want to cry, reminds me of my dad and I was little sittin' up at our camp in the South-Eastren mountains of Pennsylvania during Christmas ha with pancakes cookin' and good old John on the ancient turntables that we had how beutiful that was there is absolutly nothing better in the whole world

[trichoone]

glad it brought back nice memories for you .

[smiths5000]

that's funny, reminds me of my dad. was just a young boy and parents had just gotten a divorce. laid in bed in the dark with my dad who was always listening to John Denver. Music still haunts me. Great songwriter and beautiful melodies.Long time ago but can still feel his music. Good old 70's, quite a time.

[Riley0205]

We are so missing the simplistic message of John Denver's music. Don't know about the rest of you, but this song takes me back to a time of innocence and belief in my fellow man. When you look at our world today, 9/11 Iraq, GWB, it's hard to remember that once upon a time, we WERE so innocent....

Miss him, miss what he meant to us, miss who we were Way Back Then...

[trichoone]

yes your sentiments sound pretty good to me also -trichoone

[badleeroy]

In my opinion, one of the prettiest songs he ever wrote. JD was the best.

[wy5998180]

he's a man who is deeply loved by Chinese people

[hooglander13]

all good people die young,,a fucking shame

[bethpab21]

never seen him perform live, ur so lucky to see him 23 times, you're the man!!!!!

[pinecry]

makes me homesick,brings back memories of my childhood in mt prov,phil.

[drbcook]

John Denver the song man !You still live in my heart !Far out!thanks

[wattoos]

he was a wife better

[Earthlinked]

Nice video!! I saw John Denver in concert 23 times - most in Atlanta where he came almost every year! And I have twin daughters - Jessie Belle and Anna Katie!! JD was a truly gifted man, that made the most of what he was given. I miss his music dearly!!

[trichoone]

well what a great privilege to have seen the great man once never mind 23 times , what a great voice sadly missed now -trichoone

[Earthlinked]

It was great to see him "evolve" on stage - in the 70's he was unsure of his performance and his music and voice!! By the mid 80's he was a true, experienced, gifted tenor and comfortable on stage. By the 1990's he owned the audience -- and he knew it and took full advantage. Every concert was very enjoyable. He was a truly gifted stage performer, singer and writer! I was 44 when he died -- and I sat in my living room and cried like a child for over an hour. I miss him still!

[wy5998180]

how lucky ur,as a Chinese,i can only listen to his voice now

[blsimms]

Great song. Thanks for posting.

[trichoone]
