This is a song I use to sing every time I saw the title of a book my mom had sitting on her in table called "Today is Mine" by Leroy Brownlow which now in my library. It is amazing how this song and that book correlate.

I never saw him concert and JD died in the month my son was born. I was planning on seeing him in concert for the first time and he was scheduled to sing in Portland, Oregon's the Rose Garden. It cuts to my soul.

I saw John Denver in concert once only - at the NEC in Birmingham (England) - it wasn't enough, I suppose, but it was fine and good (smiles)

Thanks so much windsong1962. I never saw this until now. God bless you. Could you tell us where and when this was?

[windsong1962]

I don't know where, but he mentions the album 'an evening with john denver' which was 1975, so it must have been around that time. Thank you for your comments duane - check out massassa2008's lovely John Denver uploads !

This is one of those songs that brings out the entire range of emotions for me--it is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thank you so much for posting this.

This is one of the songs I have always loved.  I was a great john denver fan. I used to sing this to my children when they were babies as i rocked them. My son now 40 called me one day and said he was having lunch and it was playing and he couldn't understand why he knew all the words to this song. I guess I sang it a lot.

Thank you John D., you gave us such beautiful music that we can still enjoy Today.

@windsong1a My pleasure. It is really sad that 'Today' could not be included. I agree that it was a brilliant performance not only of that particular song, but of all the wonderful songs that we now have on DVD.

[windsong1a]

@michaeldonegan Thank you for writing back......that is soooo SAD that performance was damaged. I have seen it though on Youtube, but it was'nt very good quality. IMO, it was one of his best and most memorable performorances ever! Thank you.

@windsong1a My comment was written quite a while back (certainly more than a year ago) and before it was revealed that 'Today' would not be included in the DVD boxset copy of the Australian concert. It was reported that the original tape copy of 'Today' was damaged and it could not be used.

[windsong1a]

@michaeldonegan Are you sure it's on the new DVD boxset? I've looked at some of the listings and don't see "Today" on the Australia concert.

@bimdan This concert is from Sydney, Australia- 1977.

In answer to someone's question about the location of this concert, although it is difficult to tell for sure, it might be Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver.

I had the pleasure of seeing him six times. My favorites were the night of my 21st birthday at Red Rocks in 1981; in New Orleans for his "The Man and His Music" solo tour (around 1985)... just John with a few guitars and one song on the piano; and finally, two weeks to the day before he died... in Houston with the Houston Symphony.
