[Peppersky6]

Absolutely breathtaking voice. He was truly a gift from whatever you believe God to be while he was with us for ever so briefly. Thanks so much for sharing this.

THE BEST

[marehka]

Out of all the YouTube videos, this version is One of BEST solos of The Eagle & The Hawk by John. I agree. . . gives you goosebumps.

[davertainment]

GOOSEBUMPS!

Simply BRILLIANT!

[LawReport]

What kind of cruelty behests this world to steal a talent such as John? What did we do as a people to deserve such torture?

[soundwavs1961c]

I love John Denver, what a voice he had!!!!!!

[Kreimehn]

What a songwriter, lyrics, performer, and voice. What a song. A class act, of which we will never see again.

[asceses]

Arghh !! .. i cant watch this ... no close up view of John mastering the beggining and end guitar highlight? ... what was the camera man thinking?

Sorry to moan, its just that i love seeing him play his guitar ... specially when he gives it some in songs like this

[Choefoe]

@asceses Totally agee with you on that one ! when Astaire dances you don,t move the camere away from his feet, well you think;-) happend even in those movies, proves camera work is an art by itself. you have to know when or what to film. Missed changed indeed;(

[asceses]

@Choefoe Yeah all very true Choefoe

Sometimes though its not the camera mans fault, its the gallery where the producer and director sits, they decide which camera will take presidence and at what time. I must admit, ive forgotten how this clip goes now, havent looked at it since i last commented so cant remember if it was the camera mans fault or the galleries LOL

[negativewashout]

Best version I could find after quite a bit of searching - and worth the effort. Thanks for sharing. Shame that boy is gone. He was my first favorite singer-songwriter as a kid in the 1970's - long before I understood the label "singer-songwriter"

[dianed1962]

The sweat only makes me love him more...forever, himself, to the end!

[truthtimes100]

John is one of the very few performers who was a pure vessel of the Spirit of Life. Thank you for your music and the joy you brought. Love you so much!

[ScaeanGate]

Blessed John Denver - ahead of his time

[tikkihut58]

Great video, he is one of the masters! I saw him twice, once at Red Rocks and 2nd time in Louisville, KY at Freedom Hall.

[BlueiiiedLady]

John played a big part in my family's life. My son learn to play because of John. Now, my oldest grandson is playing and writing music at a conservatory school. I was a fan from the very first part of his career. John, you touch so many lives. Thank you, and you are missed and loved by so many.

[seastormvixen]

I've loved John since I was a wee young thing (about a million years ago). His voice, his music, his words, his commitment ~~ never could there have been enough of him but I still cry for our loss.... I'd have rather have kept him around for another 45 years.........................­...

[TheThurmond]

@seastormvixen  amen to that

[Clintdog009]

He died before I was born but both the man and the music are inspiring to me and many others... and shall continue to be for generations to come. :) Keep flying free John!

[DMVDK]

Best music ever!

From The Netherlands.

miss u John!

[cedartree696]

It's bizarre that, given his popularity & the number of albums he sold that you rarely here his music on the radio - especially songs like this. Sad, very sad indeed.

I know of some really good tenors today - but none in folk/pop & certainly none in rock that can sing a lyrical line and really belt it out like this without screaming. His voice is rarely covered by layers of sound - it's out in front of everything with no sound effects or processing. It requires TALENT by golly!

[earnestly2]

I wish I could have known him.

[1bol390]

wouldn't be awesome if all his fans sang this hand in hand across the continental divide? i'd be there!

[warlordky]

Only the angels sound like this,RIP

[rajmando1]

The LEGEND by far. One of the GREATEST voices of the 20th century. He is dearly missed.

God bless his soul.

[CindyLeeBlankenship]

"Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops, sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars. And reach for the heavens and hope for the future and all that we can be not just what we are." I love this song! Thanks for sharing this. We miss you John.

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Thanks for this video shared.

[jdstillshines]

What a voice! Just amazing! God bless John !! Rest in peace friend !!

[Choefoe]

[Moonlightwolfpup]

Amazing

[stormspinner1]

I was fortunate to see John Denver in concert - was blown away by his voice. Soaring beauty - he is missed. One of my favorites by him -5/5 stars.

[teri1082]

@stormspinner1 Well, you're in luck! John is back again, sort of....We are fortunate now to have a tribute artist in Ted Vigil from WA. Not only can Ted play guitar, he can sing like John. Check him out! I was lucky to see Ted a couple of years ago, and now he's even better. The Mt Vernon, WA concert in 2010 was awesome, although I wasn't there, check out the videos on youtube......

[michaeldonegan]

As always, just amazing. Thanks for posting this great clip of JD in concert.

[blady13ny]

He was amazing, still hard to believe his gone. I get depressed every year on October 12th Can not wait for dvd

[bellaimages]

Amazing voice! I wish I could have seen him in concert. Someone like John Denver only comes around to us once in a lifetime.

RIP John, your music lives on!

[Amadeus1066]

With just his voice and guitar John could hold an audience in the palm of his hand. The very first and the very last shows I saw John Denver do were solo acoustic concerts. I really look forward to being able to have this type of concert on DVD.
