John Denver live in Pittsburgh (1993) - Calypso

John Denver performs live in Pittsburgh in 1993. Here he sings 'Calypso'.

According to Gingerjake2 : "I believe the date was October 23rd. He was doing 5 concerts at Heinz Hall (22-26) & we went on the 23rd".

We must appreciate the great work done here by an anonymous fan who has preserved this fine performance for posterity.

Songs:
The Eagle and the Hawk
Rocky Mountain High
I'd Rather Be a Cowboy
The Ballad of Gary Hart
Take Me Home, Country Roads
Back Home Again
Eagles and Horses
I'm Sorry
Shanghai Breezes (with intro)
My Sweet Lady
For You
Potter's Wheel
Annie's Song
Calypso
Perhaps Love

Yes, and I had a cassette recorder I wanted to take to a concert in 1977. But it was way too big to smuggle in. I wouldn't have got past the door. This guy in Pittsburgh must have been standing up the whole time! Imagine that!

By the way, there is a report that JD's Universal Amphitheatre concert that was featured in the 'An Evening With' album is going to be released on DVD. It is also reported that Windstar Records is bringing out a DVD box set featuring different concerts! Can't wait

Thanks Michelle, I have now finally posted the last songs from the Pittsburgh show. There remains some doubt in my mind about the running order I have here. Here we have the very funny Ballad of Gary Hart near the beginning while part of its intro comes after one of the later songs!

Even with this doubt it was still a great show and thankfully someone was there to record it. Whoever it was, he or she did us all a favour.

Wow, just incredible. He was always in his finest voice. Amazing also that a fan got in with a camcorder. There were no cellphone cams in those days (they were all analog and very primitive), and each concert had a sign that prohibited the performance from being taped or otherwise broadcast. Still someone was able to do it!! Thanks so much for posting.
