This version is OK sometimes, but, if you really like John Denver, you ought to buy his studio recordings or different few live albums. His voice in this live recording video is shakey and strained a little bit, but, I wouldn't recommend this video clip or this version of the song, but try any other different version of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and see what you really think of any different one besides this one
I live in Scotland but I had to buy this concert because I heard this song a long time ago in the studio and brought to tears. I love to see the artist performing without the restrictions of recording a studio. And John is very charismatic and you can see he loves what he's doing. Thank you John for all the moments of love and peace that your songs bring to me and to everyone else. One day we're gonna see'ya again. RIP.
You are very close!! John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor DID perform in a concert together - in Detroit - I think back in the early 1980's!!!!
I'm a small town fellow. I have always love the country life. This song is perfect in reflecting what I mean. I'd rather live in a peaceful, quiet small town, as oppose to the dangerous big city. This is one song for the ages.
I have always like music, and John Denver is one of the BEST EVER. Rest in peace, and thanks for the many wonderful memories!
I heard John's music for the first time at a very young age of 5or6 and have loved it ever since( I'm 38 now) I get teased alot by my family and friends because my CD collection goes from John Denver to Slayer and Black Sabbath.What can I say,I love great music and John was one of the best.
I know the case has been made time and time again but this song should have been titled western virginia the blue ridge mountains and the shenandoah river runs thru the shenandoah valley of virginia not west virginia I know I will catch hell from all the non belivers and west virginians but look it up on a map.
The more amd more I hear of these wonderful songs that this exceptional talented man wrote and sang I really wish he was still with us, so we could hear many more wonderful songs! I wish I was able to have seen him live at a concert, a friend of mine has, and I am so jealous that he managed it!John Denver was taken way too early! And of course my favourite is 'Annie's Song' a person who can write a such an exquisite song in my eyes must have had a beautiful heart!
This song reminds me of that going home feeling. When you've been away for a few days or weeks,and your glag to finnally be home. I learned it from this video and play it on a lap steel guitar.Iffy and Rusty
Great song! This song always makes me want to get out of the city for a while. I just love his Taylor acoustic! I love the resonator and the banjo too!
That is Pat Hawk. She did a great job- but I was always partial to Renee Armand who did backup for him especially in the 70's. GREAT voice and harmony as well.
I moved to a ranch in Oregon with a friend of mine in 1974. I remember lying in bed at night, staring out the window across the pasture to the country hiway in the distance, watching the headlights tracing their paths in the darkness while Country Roads played on the radio. What sweet memories this song brings.
John Denver's contribution to the music world is monumental. He was a genius songwriter, brilliant guitarist, and gifted singer. He cared about the environment before it became fashionable. He is a true legend.
Esta cancion es realmente excelente la escucho desde pequeña y quisiera el video de la cancion "don't close your eyes tonight" porfavor si la pudieran conseguir.
recovering from chermotherapy and radiation treatments I saw this concert and was glad to be alive...Rest in peace John and thank you for your contribution to my life.
