John Denver on The Tonight Show (as presenter) 1977 - Annie's Song

[BradinPhilippines]

I cried when I heard he died. So much lost.

[asceses]

John even hummed beautifully ... (sighs)

"I love you, Annie"... Heartbreaking to watch.

[earnestly2]

"I love you, Annie" so sweet...

[hopper433]

That was great!

Thank you ...

I know back in that day there was no wireless mics.. so how did they get him humming without his guitar, or feedback wiping his vocals out?

This is great! I hesitate in telling this, and you may not believe it, but I used to live near the NBC studios in CA. The brother of a friend of mine got some tickets to see John guest host the "Tonight Show" on this very night...yes, I was there watching John play this song, as well as Calypso, which he also played. Wow, it is so "Far-Out" to see this again. This video sure brings back the memory. I love the story about Frank Sinatra. He was always such a great communicator. Thanks!!

Thanks George, for your kind comments and for sharing your personal memories of this performance. I, of course, never got to see this way back then. The Tonight Show is never seen over here.

I will post Calypso tomorrow. Again, thank you!

[michaeldonegan]

I will look for it, but i don't think I have it all complete. I'll post it as soon as I can.
