I saw John Denver live three times - once in the front row. This video was the best he ever was. Wow! Thanks for this video.

Wasn't this song banned for people thinking he meant getting high ?

[arlenenoone]

@Tom6093 yeah but it actually wasnt about that at all.

I was overseas in the USAF when this song was a hit... I knew I'd be getting out in the seventh month ("summer") of my twenty-seventh, and probably to live somewhere I'd never been.... It kept me sane in the madness of the military... and life did indeed happen that way for me. This always will be among my very favorite.

There's always one douchebag!

When I was just a youngin teen, I was into harder rock bands and music, as were my friends, and John Denver wasn't really considered 'IN' for us, but I always liked this song and definitely could appreciate the talent he had as a composer, musician and vocalist. There is HOPE for the youth/teens for as I matured, so did my musical tastes and now I enjoy such a much broader and diversified genre... :)

A shame this never entered into the British charts just like many of his songs.

Everyone has their own opinion about someone and in my eyes, heart and soul,no one in this world competes with a man as wonderful as John. My statement is that of my own personal experience with the man.

my wife, my son, and I saw an eagle in north Alabama this Sunday morning. I thought about this song. I miss John Denver. I drove from here to the Rockys and back home, and with some dear souls, and we knew what he sang about.

I know this sounds crazy, but when I think about John Denver nowadays I don't think about his music, I think about the fact his life ended in tragedy and controversy-just as I do with the other John: John F. Kennedy. I really want to write a book about the 60's era (1963-84) because I've read several books and I don't feel that the the whole story has not been told-there are secrets that still hasn't been revealed. As what Rick Pearlstein wrote in "Nixonland": 'What did the 60's do to us?'
