Precious of you, Annie, John. Thanks so much for sharing such private/fun moments! The fun y'all were having. Can't imagine what a sweet beginning y'all had together. Wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.

This is historic footage.This is surely some of the earliest footage of JD hanging out in nature & in private.It should be restored & part of John's exhibit at the Colo Music Hall of Fame..Thank you so much for sharing.

@tacomacooper Okay well I guess technically I was one month off for when this was filmed since I guessed '69 or '70!! I did know the songwas written before JD married.but didn't know the dual dates of recording and releasing it.
Do you have any idea who filmed this or who the yg woman in the film is- just curious. Thx for the extra info. How did you come across this footage??
The woman is his high school sweetheart, my stepmother. He had just married Annie earlier that year. They lived in Edina MN and John was touring midwest colleges. See his story on my Boxes In The Attic blog.

This is December 1968. Peter Paul and Mary recorded "Leaving on a Jet Plane" in 1967 for Album 1700 but didn't release the single until late 1969, the same year Denver recorded it on Rhymes & Reasons.The Peter Paul and Mary cover topped the charts December 20, 1969, the second to last single to hit #1 in the Sixties.
