John Denver (with his band) guest hosting The Tonight Show - Johnny B Goode and Ripplin' Waters

John Denver, once again guest host, delivers this two-song set on another edition of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in the late 1970s. The performance begins with a new song 'Johnny B. Goode' (from the JD album of 1979) before John introduces the members of his band, and concludes with 'Ripplin' Waters' from the 'I Want to Live' album of 1977. Unfortunately, the video quality is not as good as we would like.

Thanks for these clips from the Tonight Show! If you're ever able to go back even a few more years, I think John guest-hosted and dueted with Claudine Longet on For Baby (For Bobbie). It'd be great if someone could find that. Thanks again...There'll never be another JD.
