[pengeo100]

@Syzygy60 Then don't listen to them. Go listen to what you like. Just keep you stupid comments to yourself. Why do people like you have to type comments you would never say to anyone with a brain out loud. Go...now just go away and let the grownups listen...

[Syzygy60]

we're here u just don't know us

[nurajable]

This is my favourite, Thanks John Denver.

[LagunaWSU2]

If all I had for the rest of eternity was this song stuck in my head, I would consider my life blessed.

[SecretYoungLink007]

I miss ya John i think your still out there somewhere they found a body who as injured bad but i still don't think it was you and don't say rest in peace people i don't like country but cause of john i like his music. John has never really died.

[Naphylander]

[jacko1972]

What a shame to spoil a rare quality performance by the master, by sticking an F-ing advert over it :)

[kuomom]

[bodyshakeit]

[augibrown]

I lived in japan for 2 years... never heard a japanese listening to country lol

[televisionlover44]

I am from wv and I remember me q

[TheTomBombadill]

I live in West Virginia and attended WVU. You have no idea how many times I have heard this song sung by drunken bar patrons at 2 in the morning...and I still love it!

RIP John Denver

[akmal12341000]

the person who dislike is stupid

[thiagoskatefucker]

Wonderful song and voice Jhon D.

[CODmaster6661]

When he said "sing it with me", I wonder what it was like to see their mouths move first and then hear the voices?

[saikoza1]

There was, and will only be ONE John Denver!

He sang effortless and with pure genius. In my opinion, all true country roads lead to this legend.

[BaneDays]

Only the best singers can sing good like this live! thumbs up if u agree!

[Bob65001]

@BaneDays He smiles when he sings! I mean he's truly smiling and happy! Do you ever see the folks these days smile when they sing? If you do, very few of them are nearly as happy....

[togui95]

Excellent Quality Dude!

[MrJylong]

Everywhere Country Roads are leading ...

[scenecore12]

Spot on! From a West Virginian in Japan.

[speedyneter]

[ionutzutotel]

[OneKewpie]

This was well into his career and his voice got better as he got older. Miss him! ~OneKewpie~

[RagnaLugria]

john denver dosent seem to age, he still looks the same

[TheCHRYSEL]

There's teardrops in my eyes whenever i heard this song. It has a sentimental value on me when am still working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Beijing China year 1999.

[belovedpeartree]

@TheCHRYSEL what's the story behind that? were you overseas and getting homesick?

[TheCHRYSEL]

I LOVE THIS SONG. THIS REMINDS ME EVERY MOMENT TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG, "ARLINGTON VIRGINIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". COUNTRY ROADS PLEASE TAKE ME HOME TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG.... FBI VIA COUNTY ROADS PLEASE TAKE ME HOME TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG. I'M HOPING THAT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION WILL TAKE ME HOME TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG..

[jordanjansensupporty]

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@Kojaler I like you John and I'm hoping that I'll never see you in Heaven someday as I'm never going to Heaven, never, my living body and my body and myself and I are going to remain to stay, live and belive and I'll still be roping calves in the NFR Finals in Las Vegas forever and ever in the 100th century as I'll keep roping and tying calves as my living body will ive and be around in the 11th millenium and beyond, both my body and I will really live forever and ever, YAHOO!!!

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@Kojaler There will forever ever again be another John Denver and there always will be another John Denver.

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@Kojaler But in my book there will be another John Denver John is and always will be a classic and he'll come back and one day get born again in the spiritual world right here again in real life, just to say that John will forever and ever again be this young again, I know there'll be another John Denver.

Speaking of John Denver, John Denver will forever and ever again perform again right here in real life, yes like this, YES LIKE THIS, JOHN, THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER YOU, YAHOO!!! :) :) :)

[HomesickNG]

I'm from Cincinnati, and this song STILL makes me homesick.

[Kazenokakera]

Take me home, country roads

To the place, I belong,

Hiroshima, mountain momma,

Take me home, country roads.

[pinschmaster]

john denver

never die

[kierke11]

the best country singer! A great voice...

[Pannina]

I love the way he smiles while he is singing!

[OttieBlue]

And the really cool thing about John Denver besides the songs was he got along with the muppets which is a gold star in my book. Blesshim.

[clayrox117]

Oh my god, this song is one of the best songs ever, performed by one of the best artists ever. Oh, 2:23 just gives me chills .. . . .

RIP John Denver, you are greatly missed and your music lives on forever :')

[oldschoolhunter]

ok 1. anything miami bass, and then there's JOHN DENVER.

[jesfeir]

I agree... Never ever get tired - nor bored - of John Denver's music, one of the greatest expressions of country music...

[Ilustus94]

Super, thank you.

[thinchris]

Do john did dead?

[Demama777]

@thinchris Yes he's gone. He died flying his own airplane.

[thinchris]

[dirkschuitsma]

@thinchris

Yes, he did do die done died..

[tecnolover2642]

Man I love this song! One of the best country songs ever made. John always was one of the best voices ever in folk/country music. RIP.

[williamanesbitt]

Nice thing about this song, it has lots of long notes so the sidemen can get in all their tasty fill licks.

[kapaul97]

JOhn Dnever is Dead !!!

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@kapaul97 I figure one day there might forever one day be another John Denver like him.

[kapaul97]

John Denver is the best

PITY!!

[Choefoe]

@kapaul97 ????

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@kapaul97 I figure one day there might forever one day be another John Denver just like him.

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

[pk1572]

This must have been his peak

[pattydoe123]

@pk1572 He was always at his peak....right up to the day he died

[shadowbeliefisme]

here in Oregon in the 70s John Denver was  the music of the mountains here , his music put you in the country . He was a fantastic musician and artist, unfortunate his break up with his wife caused him problems

[jjlaz]

RIP John U R the best!

[ValkyrieCain123]

this has been my favourite song since i was little and it always will :) it always makes me shed a little tear and thats actually rare for me when i listen to music ;)

[HighCalm]

Sung with a voice like flowing silk!

[Glass232499]

Who is that singing harmony?

[bigbadandrew]

Was the piano player Glenn Hardin?

[21MLee]

@bigbadandrew

Yes, that is Glenn Hardin at the piano.

[bigbadandrew]

@21MLee James Burton, Glenn Hardin, any other member of Elvis' TCB band played with John Denver after Elvis' death?

[21MLee]

@bigbadandrew

Emory Gordy played bass guitar in Elvis' live band for a while in early - mid 1973. After Elvis' death Gordy, along with Burton and Hardin, played for John Denver. The three also played in ' The Hot Band ' for Emmylou Harris.

[64ricardd]

He was such a Great Musician, too bad he's gone. He was such a great inspiration to me, and is the reason why I learned to play the guitar.

[ChrisRockSteady]

he has peado glasses

[4FabBEATLES]

Beautiful song by a wonderfully talented musician..why must all good musicians die young?? I bet God and everyone else in Heaven are enjoying good music from these wonderful muscians all the time and I hope some day I can come "home" to join them

[lushikichiariCHAN]

i dislike most country and thsi style of music, but not john denver nor johnny cash or people like them, i can listen for ages to them even if i listen harder stuff like punk but this music, you just can't get tired of him, to bad he died but his music will live on in out hearts

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

[VeohXni]

@lushikichiariCHAN John Denver technically wasn't country, he was a combination of blue grass and folk. =)

[lushikichiariCHAN]

@VeohXni hehe thanks for sharing :P i just noticed i placed this comment a year ago ^^ and my taste in this song still didn't change^^

[VeohXni]

@lushikichiariCHAN Oh, you are correct! =P i had not noticed it was placed a year ago. Apologies, i am glad to know you still like this song and the artist. He was amazing. I like Johnny Cash as well, many good songs.

[lushikichiariCHAN]

@VeohXni thoug my taste of music changed allot :P i don't listen to loud stuff anymore *auw my ears!* :P i prefer koreanpop these days, though music like this calms my hearth ^^

[VeohXni]

@lushikichiariCHAN OH!, i cannot for the life of me remember the name of a certain Kpop band, it has all girls in it. They made a song i really liked, but sadly i cannot remember. ='(

[yamahonkawazuki]

@lushikichiariCHAN well said

[310taylor]

He was great, listen to that guitar chuggin. Gone too soon.

[kyle3226]

It's a shame he died too soon. There were been more songs to enjoy.

[fidodido53]

John Denver live in my heart, I love this song

[dbarnett714]

its one of the most beautifull states, geographically speaking

[janemcintire]

Oh, dear, popebunny, where did you visit? Out my WV window I see mountains and windmills, pine trees, the horses next door and the wide blue sky. Nope, no pit here.

[popebunny]

West Virginia was a freaking pit the one time I've been there, but I absolutely love this song. Funny enough, I think I might have liked West Virginia more if I had never Country Roads because it raised my expectations so high.

[rajmando1]

You can NEVER EVER get tired of John Denver. I must say i appreciate 100´s of artists and he is by far one of my most beloved artists.

RIP John Denver. Your music will live forever in all of your fans hearts.

[jamesrayment]

can you please let me know some other of his good songs please

thanks :D

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@rajmando1 What a GOD given talent. Thank you GOD...

Speaking of John Denver!

The likes of this guy will be seen again, and it's true.

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@rajmando1 Tie-down roper William MacLeod, combine his of John Denver with rodeo and tie-down roping

[eclecticism7]

Trust me, you're not the only one. And I think if 100 more teens heard John, there would be 99 more teenage fans. (There's gonna be some city kid in there who just doesn't get it, but that's not our problem.)

[willjj]

glad to hear that to be honest. I thought i was walking alone.

[perezjt1990]

19 and i love him!

[CindyLeeBlankenship]

I can't wait for "John Denver Around the World Live" to be released in October. I missed so much of all this when I was a teen. Now I appreciate.

[goldhat3]

Back in 88 I went to a tiny little bluegrass bar in Japan, and they had a picture of John playing there after one of his big shows. They love John in Japan.

[CindyLeeBlankenship]

Yes they do. The crown prince and princess were in an audience at at least one of his concerts there (saw on YT).

[bettywhitedog]

This is really wonderful to see these videos in such perfect clarity. Thank you.

[Choefoe]

I,m so excited for this dvd release, just wonderfull, 5 hrs of JD ;-) My teenage hero !!Still my place of comfert

[michaeldonegan]

Another great clip from these classic JD shows. A joy to watch.

[stormspinner1]

Great to hear the pure tones of John Denver's voice ringing through my speakers - he is missed. Love this song. 5/5 stars.
