There is a video of JD singing "Garden Song" on You Tube.

JD sang "You Say the Battle is Over" in the Wildlife Concert, and that clip is also posted on You Tube.

Sorry, but I do not recall ever seeing a video of John singing, "The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel."

Thanks, and I hope you find and enjoy the videos that are posted of these wonderful songs!

This version of St Annes Reel was arranged by David Mallet. John recorded several of Mallets songs in the late 70's including the "Garden Song" and "You Say That The Battle Is Over" wich are Mallet originals. I saw John play this in Portland Maine in 1980. David Mallet was a guest at theat concert. Wow, 31 years ago!

I love "Ballad of Saint Anne's Reel", it brings such lovely images to mind whenever I hear it. Thanks for adding your wonderful collection of images of John Denver, a lot that haven't been seen before. Thanks again.

An other outstanding song by John Denver ... you are sadly missed... but what you music left us to remember you by... How ironic but my two favorite singers have the same initials .... John Denver and Judith Durham.... and they never got to sing together..... When I hear her sing Northern Lights I always think of John as it sound like something he would have written...

@sebectec Mr. Mallett, I just came across a video of John performing your song live at the Aspen Music Festival with an orchestra conducted by Lee Holdridge. It was uploaded by MrASPENDENVER2 on Dec 30, 2011. If you search Ballad of St. Anne's Reel John Denver Live, you should find it. Enjoy!

@sebectec This one of my favourite songs. It is also a wonderful piece of poetry, evoking, for me, some great memories of when I was a sailor and fell into a fairly similar situation many years ago. Thank you, Dave!
