Kudos the Bill Danoff, who wrote this gem and a few other JD classics, including "Take Me Home, Country Roads". Bill also wrote the Emmylou Harris song "Boulder to Birmingham". For those of you not familiar with Fat City, consisting of Bill and his then-wife Taffy, check out the original of this song on YT.
This song is special to me, really anything John Denver is, but when I was a kid I would play this song when I went to bed every night, and fall asleep listening...miss you JD...
This came out as I left for Vietnam. Every time I hear it I think of the guys I served with, especially the one's whose names are written on the wall. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. They were the finest men I'll ever know. God bless them all.
This is beautiful. I didn't know Denver did anything better than middle of the road wishy washy type country but this one is nice. Thanks for sending it. It's an interesting video too.
he was such a great artist, too bad he passed away too soon... he writes music and lyrics with great impact to society.... thanks for sharing... great video 5*****
Thank You, Yvonne :) I hope we are always friends...you are a special woman and a special friend to me...just like a sister. Actually, better than a sister...lol.
You are a woman of heart and I have never had a better friend than you have been to me. When I call you 'Soul Sister', I mean it :)
John Denver was one of my favorite singer's and I love listening to his song's all the time!! I still miss him alot, but I still have his songs to remind me of him!! This song is one of my favorite songs!!

Thank you for posting - this is one of the best John Denver songs, which is saying a lot since there are so many exemplary ones. I have loved this song for almost 40 years and the words are more meaningful now that I'm older than I ever thought they could be. Thanks again and take care :)
cat, thank you for cropping some of of the Wildlife Concert with other chosen video. dave is right....the pictures and sound become one. A wonderful creation and legacy. Tonight was a tearful night for me while I watched John's videos and music. I miss him and I miss my husband so.
What a wonderful friend the world had in John Denver. He left a beautiful legacy. Still missing him very much. Thank you for sharing this, it's beautiful.
lovely !!! one on those great songs that makes us miss him so much... but appreciate his legacy so much more !!! thanks for this beautiful creation!!!
Gorgeous! I can feel the love from watching this beautiful video. Wonderful use of some very well chosen and cropped Wildlife Concert photos. The pictures and sound become one. Thanks so very much for giving us this treasure.
Thank you Dave. The Wildlife Concert is the best ever concert in my opinion. It had old and new and the rapport with the audience is poignant. Friends he will remember and friends who will never forget him.
