It's great...BUT KEEP YOU EXPLANATION AND EGO AT THE DOOR...let the man sing and be remembered, ....who cares who recorded it, blah, blah,blah.....it's here for the world to see..
I saw John in concert 3 times in the mid 70s and he was wonderful! The thing I loved most about his live performances were that he always sung the songs the way they were recorded, never changed them or made them sound different. A beautiful voice. Gone but never forgotten. We miss you John!
he is the trickle of the stream,the song of the bird in the forest,and the flower in the desert,and the smell of lilacs in the spring. he is the lightning flashing across the twilight desert sky,the sounds of the summer night in the forest,and the freshness of the springtime mountains. remember his perceptions. the unicorn will remember him,too.
thank you for putting this together and letting everyone share. i was with concerts west for many years and toured with john. we all miss him and his music
I've seen this video a lot of times and I cannot believe this would be the last performance, I never saw him in live concert, the year he came to my country Chile was in 1985 and I couldn't go unfortunetly but I have enjoyed his songs through the years with the same feeling of love for his music, he was those kind of man people love no matter the circunstances around his life. RIP John, I love you. Thanks for this beautiful and sad video.
Thank you for sharing, so greatly appreciated, he is sooo missed, how people need to listen to words to songs more than the music. He is flying around!
Just checked in right now and saw we have surpassed a quarter of a million views! Wow! Thank you so much for everyone who has taken the time to watch, from all parts of the world. Thanks to those who watch and pass word of mouth! Have a great new year!
@sotvomike Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could never afford to go to concerts when I was young and in highschool in 1973 at 15 and so in love with John and his music. His death was shattering. This video just confirms what an awesome musical talent he was and what a great gift he gave to the world. God Bless you for sharing. I will save this link so I can return often.
@sotvomike Michael Martin Murphy sang this song - in which he wrote - at the tribute concert for John Denver who was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in April 2011. It was an incredibly concert with a few well known performers singing songs that every John Denver fan knows. I am proud to say that I could sing along with every song that they performed.
Thanks for sharing this--shows his heart and spirit. My college roommate was nuts for John and got me interested--I'm glad he did. Blessings to all who see this and know some of the wild places he sang about.
what a beautiful song and his last performance! RIP John, your music was so much of my childhood from Leaving on a Jet Plane (by Peter, Paul and Mary) which most people don;t know you wrote, to Back Home Again. At 57 I realize now your music will live on and you were not just another Barry Manilow singer as some DJs once said back in the 70s.
Our hearts have missed his words of hope and connection to our Planet. Those who have hardened their hearts and turned to greed and fear could use some of John's beautiful words and messages. He once said at at Windstar Choices Symposium, We know what to do ..why aren't we doing it?....I'ts About Time...thanks so much for sharing this video...I cried..
@MDAvera What you hear during the last part of the tape is the first verse and part of the chorus to the song "Amazon (Let This Be a Voice)". It can be found on the "Different Directions" album, as well as on the "Wildlife Concert" album and DVD, and on the "Harbor Lights Concert" album.
Knew I would return to listening to this wonderful singer at some point in my life. My mother passed away on January 7th. His musics simplicity and the remarkable gift of his talent seems to honor her life in a way I could not. That this video has existed in limbo for so many years and is now available is also a gift. Thank you for sharing it. Peace and blessings.
It's so sad, there's even flowers there, like he's singing his epitaph, like he's the boy from the country, something so beautiful and sad in John Denver, as if his sadness just kept growing, trying to fly up to the sun.
I always loved this song. I sing it in the feminine voice as its my own story as well! It always brings tears to my eyes. Love this man, loved his music and values and still miss him. When I heard his death on the news as I was driving along Turnagain Arm in Alaska, a part of me died.. I had dreamed as a teenager that he and I would someday be together.... and now I realize, we always will be...as I travel and tour and sing..he continues to be my inspiration...
Boy From The Country ... I started crying. One of my all time favorite JD songs. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. It's been so many years and the hole in my heart left by his passing his still there.
i saw John in concert when he was on tour with An Evening With John Denver..he was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great! He talked to the audience and laughed with them. This was in Toronto at the CNE..Gone but never forgotten..Him and Jimmy Buffett have the same qualities..you just leave feeling so great!
Way cool ; ) Back when I was a teen in the early 70s I listened to John's beautiful songs so much that I wore the records out...also back when I was surrounded by sisters and piers who wouldn't be caught dead listening to anything but Rock n Roll....I liked that too but John's music was more akin to my soul and I didn't really care what the others thought...thankfully ; ) I really miss you John...and your soulful spirit gracing us all with your beautiful words and music...
WOW! Thank you so much for posting this sotvomike. I found this I was watching some Doris Day and John Denver videos on youtube and this one caught my eye. I feel so blessed to have come stumbled upon it bursting into tears as my heart opened after being in a suicidal depression for over a year. I've loved John Denver since being a child and my soul soars when I hear him. I never heard the first one and I needed it tonight. My humblest gratitude to you and dearest John for all he did for Mother.
Any footage of such a legend should be shared, it is sad that you could not get a response from anybody associated with him. But I suppose as a public figure all his family desire now is to left alone.
He was something else as a performer. I will admit I have become a fan since his death only, never could appreciate his music as ayoung fellow, I am now only 47.
I loved John Denvers music! He and Dan Fogelburg are greatly missed in hte music profession because they had a way of making the listener a part of the song. Both were exceptional story tellers through song. Thanks for posting!
Even now, as I listen to John's timeless music, I Remember how he made me feel as if the problems of the world would just fade away as I took a walk in the mountains and the Forrest that his lyrics project in my mind. Thank you for the peace John.
Thank you sotvomike. Even though I'm sitting here with tears pouring down my face; you have just made today perfect for me. I guess I'll never stop missing him.
Thank you for posting this! John came onto the music scene, made it big time, when I was in my teens. He made such a postive impact in my life, I can't say how grateful I am that he was here. Rest his soul....
i fell in love with him when i was 4 and begged my my mum for is album for christmas, birthday when i was 5 and i'm 43 now. i've seen him twice live in aust. love him , miss him, the best singer song writer. they can copy him, but they will never be him!
Christmas is coming. Give the gift of John Denver's music by sharing his words of love and peace for the earth and its people. Our world needs sooooooo many more people to follow his lead. What a voice. What a loss to our world in physical but not in emotional. Please make a choice to choose world peace. To stop the fighting and the hurting. Thank you for sharing this video.

@MEH50caribe Thank you again. When he was asked why he was not as popular as he once was, he said, "They won't play me." That was before YouTube, which is a powerfule marketing device. So very sad he did not live to share his music with us more.
@MEH50caribe I agree....a great thank you. He will never be forgotten his music will live on and on. I have to stop no matter where I am or what i am doing and listen whenever I hear him. I still cry.
Thanks so much for posting this. I will always miss him. One of the most perfect days of my 20's was when I was in grad school in Fort Collins, Colorado, and got to see him sing at Red Rocks (2nd row, center :) ). His music still touches me deeply and will the rest of my life. I also am a pacifist, environmentalist and adoptive mom, so his ideals life on through my life.
The day John Denver died my daughter called me from her office and told me she had been thinking of me all day. She was born in 1970, so she knew that my heart would be broken...and she was right. The 70's were hard years for me. Sometimes I just wanted to give up. That's when I would turn on John. He was my favorite singer then...he's my favorite singer now and always. Just think how beautiful heaven's choir must sound!
feel bad he passed away... I listen to alot of 80's rock etc but if your talking about relaxation his music is amazing... wish he's still here :/ btw im only 16 and I can tell you that my generation is missing out on "real Music"
Thank you for posting this gem. I have wonderful memories of seeing john on a few occasions and his music has meant so much to me since I was a kid. There was always something about his songs, his voice and the beautiful message that always came across that seemed to touch my heart. It was a terrible and very upsetting day when I heard of his death, and it's still hard to watch things on here and know he's gone. I know that people who love John and his music share something very special
Thanks for this post. I cried so hard the day he died. My brother called me on the phone and told me. I blasted his songs out my apt window for all to hear. I miss going to his concerts. I saw his last performance in the D.C area for my friends birthday and wanted to ask him to sing her happy birthday at the concert but chickened out of asking. I should have tried. He may have done it! Now we will never know.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is terribly sad to me that he lost his life, instead of being able to continue to share his talents and abilities with us and with the earth and nature. I love him still and listen to him all the time. No one quite like him to me.

All He reveals in his gift to humanity..// watch LA PAROLA IN CUATRO and merge with the greatest pronouncement and the highest science. Watch and rejoice…this one is for real ! it is He ! @ La Parola In Cuatro.
Thank you SO MUCH for putting this up. John was AN AMAZING artist and performer. I truly miss him; thank God for people like you who keep his message alive.
Wow, I've got tears in my eyes right now! I became a fan of John Denver 37 years ago when I was 12 years old. I've loved his music since then. I haven't listened to it in a while, so when I saw this video listed, I just had to watch it.
I am so grateful that I knew John Denver and his music as it will live in my heart forever. He is missed by so many and will always be missed by me. He was a believer in the Great Spirit and it is plain he lived his life with that as his guide. God bless you John!
John lost his mojo after Windsong... his songs became trite and forgettable .. I think he was affected by his own hype.... overexposed. His early songs are brilliant and well written. Google " Newsweek John Denver Sunshine Boy " and read the article and you'll understand why he fell off the charts after it was published.
there is not a days that goes by that i do not miss John and his songs I have listened to his since he first came to the UK and i have him on my phone and nave most of his records and now CD's
John i was a dedicated singer too you my friend you had such a wonderful voice . a voice of an angel now im undergoing an operation in the throat because i wouldn,t leave it to the experts but still believe i was right maybe after op i can sing again ty John
I grew up listening to John Denver. I adore his music he was and still is my Dad's favorite singer. He's the reason my Dad picked up a guitar when he was 12 years old, He's the one who's music is playing in my house every single day, if ever I feel homesick all I have to do is listen to John Denver and I'm home again. Thank you John Denver for your beutiful music. You have contributed so much to not only my life but to many others as well.
ohhhhhhh i wish i was at this concert. alas, john denver was before my time. i grew up listening to his music and i wish that i had the chance to see him in concert. it would have been great to hear music in its purist form. this was music before we had what we have today. got bless you JD
@highlander661 I grew up listening to JD. I was at this concert. It was in a small auditorium, very intimate setting; Just him and his guitars, will never forget it.
Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to watch and especially to those who have left such heartfelt comments! I get your comments on my phone and not one day goes by when there isn't at least one. I just checked in to see that views are almost up to 200,000! Wow! I'm so glad more and more every day that I shared this.
Also, please do not msg me to ask for the original file. I will not release it unless it is to John's family or management. Thanks for your understanding.
He is greatly missed... I often wonder what he would be singing and writing about today but I think I know.... Because he is the boy from the country! What a beautiful message he left us.....
Sent a shrill down my spine.This beauty reminds me just how much I miss John.A man of great simplicity as evident from his lyrics but a man of such great love and wisdom.And I came from the old school metal era.Megadeth,Iron Maiden.Some narrow minded dicks can't understand why I loved this singer cos I still wear the old Megadeth jackets from time to time and listen to their music but I think that deep down John is one of those people who taught me that music is music.It either touches you or no
How I still miss sweet John`s beautiful heartfelt tunes! There is no one to take up his mantle of trying to protect our environment and the creatures that inhabit it. No one with his stature and voice.
I was at this concert in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was one of the most beautiful and thrilling live performances I'd ever seen. John Denver captured the hearts and minds of millions of people in his limited years on earth. We all suffered a loss with his tragic death.
While searching for some John Denver music I came across this video this morning....THANK YOU SO MUCH! I saw John in July (in New Jersey) before his death. My eyes are filling up now just thinking about it all. I just need to tell you how much I appreciate this video. And, this was one of my favorite John Denver songs! Thanks again.
So many memories of good times listening to his songs. Now, I am sad listening to his beautiful clear voice and remembering.......I am so still, in awe. Miss just knowing he was somewhere on this Earth somewhere.......making music
Thank you so very much for posting this video. I, too, loved John Denver's writing, singing, and philosophy. Watching this has made my day so much better. He touches our souls, connects us.
Thanks for sharing..........He was and will always be a National Treasure!! A true Blessing from God!! His music will never die.......Peace and Grace!!
Suppi Stimme wie immer......aber ein Moppel......trotzdem liebe ich ihn.......und ich durfte Ihn kennenlernen in Hamburg damals......ein toller Mann!!!!
A timeless air about him, his sound, his voice, his music--the feeling that you just want to cry because it's so beautiful. Save your negative replies please, but I will say I feel the love of God when certain people sing. In Britain, I think they call it the X factor; others say "I just can't describe how you feel". By the way, I can't remember the name of the first song. Anybody can help me?
We will all enjoy John's music and awesome voice and, those many other talented, gifted performers that are gone but never forgotten. Yes, Karen Carpenter was so very awesome as well and entertained us with her voice soft as velvet. Life has no guarentees and to have seen these talented performers in our lifetime is truly a gift. Thank you to all those who are still with us, and, also no longer with us that have inspired our lives with such heartfelt and meaningful lyrics and music.
This man is.....not like any other man. There is a gentleness and a sweetness to his soul that you feel when he sings and plays his guitar. There is, however...another musician that comes to mind when you listen to JD...Karen Carpenter. She was also...ONLY one of a kind and she is gone too. May they both rest in peace....and THANK HEAVEN we are able to revel in their talent and their undeniable genius. JD and KC............we love you.
Thank you so much for posting this video. JD was simply the best singer-songwriter of his day (and for that matter, most others). What a great performer and humanitarian - most of my best concert memories are from his shows.
Today is October 12th and we lost John Denver back on this date in 1997....so today lets remember him by sending up awesome blessings and thanks for that journey he lead us on. Love, Anetbeme
Yes....I along with everyone who posted here, I miss him very much, and loved his TRUTH ! Also thank God we have John's music to keep to our hearts forever, and this video among many others. Bless you John...A friend of mine.
For anyone wanting to know (who doesn't by now) the second song is called "Amazon," and it is amazing! It can be found on John Denver's 'The WILDLife Concert' CD/DVD. It was filmed in N.Y.C. - Sony Music Studios - on February 23 and 24, 1995. He was recorded as saying he was thrilled at the opportunity to do the concert because it gave people a chance to hear that specific song. Hope that helps anyone who doesn't know the second song from this concert. Thank you for a wonderful post...
I got to see him only once in concert...it was the best concert I have been to in my entire life...of all my music, I can always go back to John Denver's music cause it is simply the best
hey folks im DOING some of my songs . just LIKE JOHN DENVER there . coem and hear FOR your selves im on johndenverSINGS and highcountryRESCUE52 . hey i know that j.d passed away BUT come on along there. and hear for your self. j.d1958
Jdixon56, you said it all! John Denver was the Best, but tied with Peter, Paul and Mary (God Bless Her Soul) Thank God, I had the chance to meet them and tell them how much their music and their efforts mean to me. They are not gone, they are with God!
Boy From The Country was written by Michael Martin Murphy. Last summer I saw MMM in concert in Colorado and he did a tribute to John Denver and said some very nice things about him. A classy guy...
Sixtoomanycatz: God, your response is as moving as the video itself. I totally agree. I went to 9 JD concerts, and he was the incarnation and symbol for everthing good.
Fabulous !...John Denver...as far as I am concerned was the most magnificent singer/songwriter of all time.He sang with emotion...he wrote with such beauty and insight. God I miss him terribly even after all this time. Thanks so much for posting this last video of JD.
People never seem to mention that he was a fine guitar player as well. Fantastic!

Even now, as I listen to John's timeless music, I Remember how he made me feel as if the problems of the world would just fade away as I took a walk in the mountains and the Forrest that his lyrics project in my mind. Thank you for the peace John.

Christmas is coming. Give the gift of John Denver's music by sharing his words of love and peace for the earth and its people. Our world needs sooooooo many more people to follow his lead. What a voice. What a loss to our world in physical but not in emotional. Please make a choice to choose world peace. To stop the fighting and the hurting. Thank you for sharing this video.

@MEH50caribe Thank you again. When he was asked why he was not as popular as he once was, he said, "They won't play me." That was before YouTube, which is a powerfule marketing device. So very sad he did not live to share his music with us more.

The day John Denver died my daughter called me from her office and told me she had been thinking of me all day. She was born in 1970, so she knew that my heart would be broken...and she was right. The 70's were hard years for me. Sometimes I just wanted to give up. That's when I would turn on John. He was my favorite singer then...he's my favorite singer now and always. Just think how beautiful heaven's choir must sound!

It was a terrible and very upsetting day when I heard of his death, and it's still hard to watch things on here and know he's gone. I know that people who love John and his music share something very special

Thanks for this post. I cried so hard the day he died. My brother called me on the phone and told me. I blasted his songs out my apt window for all to hear. I miss going to his concerts. I saw his last performance in the D.C area for my friends birthday and wanted to ask him to sing her happy birthday at the concert but chickened out of asking. I should have tried. He may have done it! Now we will never know.

John lost his mojo after Windsong... his songs became trite and forgettable .. I think he was affected by his own hype.... overexposed. His early songs are brilliant and well written. Google " Newsweek John Denver Sunshine Boy " and read the article and you'll understand why he fell off the charts after it was published.
gifted vocalist though

A timeless air about him, his sound, his voice, his music--the feeling that you just want to cry because it's so beautiful. Save your negative replies please, but I will say I feel the love of God when certain people sing. In Britain, I think they call it the X factor; others say "I just can't describe how you feel". By the way, I can't remember the name of the first song. Anybody can help me?

Yes, Karen Carpenter was so very awesome as well and entertained us with her voice soft as velvet. Life has no guarentees and to have seen these talented performers in our lifetime is truly a gift. Thank you to all those who are still with us, and, also no longer with us that have inspired our lives with such heartfelt and meaningful lyrics and music.

May they both rest in peace....and THANK HEAVEN we are able to revel in their talent and their undeniable genius. JD and KC............we love you.

Hi,
For anyone wanting to know (who doesn't by now) the second song is called "Amazon," and it is amazing! It can be found on John Denver's 'The WILDLife Concert' CD/DVD. It was filmed in N.Y.C. - Sony Music Studios - on February 23 and 24, 1995. He was recorded as saying he was thrilled at the opportunity to do the concert because it gave people a chance to hear that specific song. Hope that helps anyone who doesn't know the second song from this concert. Thank you for a wonderful post...
