The Gift You Are
Hi everyone, I was at this concert, the last time I saw him live and "The Gift You Are" was indeed the last song of the night. I will never forget it was the last song that I ever heard him sing in a live setting and has remained a very special song to me for that reason. My then 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter were at this show with my wife and I. They still listen to his music today.

Hi, Thank you very much for clearing this up for me. In truth, I probably wanted there to be more, but now I am satisfied.
I certainly envy you and everyone who was at that wonderful concert in Conneticut. JD was on fire! What an amazing performer he was.
I only saw him once myself. That was in 1977 in Dublin. He came to Ireland many times since, but I never got to see him again. Alas!

Hi Michelle,
Oh yes it was a great show, though I don't know if my choice of slides fully did justice to his great performabnce!
It is a pity it ends cold with 'The Gift You Are'. I suspect there may have been a few more songs.
But, that quibble aside, JD put on an amazing show at Oakdale. There will never be another like him.
Thank you.

Hey Michael, I think this is a great slide show. And the performance is Awesome as always! I have a similar slide show on my other channel. Do you mind if I put it as a video response?
