What a beautiful movie!
Lack of good storyline.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I know I'd seen this show on PBS in the past, but tonight I happened to flip over to NHPTV with the laptop on my lap and John Denver on the TV. An earlier post here said it best that Denver was at his pinnacle with this performance. He demonstrated a true respect for the original arrangements but managed to make them into something he'd not done in the earlier recordings some 20 years prior. It brought forth my memories of working the hay on the farm in the early-mid 70s, so thankful to have music that actually helped enhance my appreciation of the country roads with the sunshine on my shoulders.
This concert is a unique showcase for new fans and old alike...John Denver's performance is excellent...he is giving and masterful...The song selections are from JD's whole career...beginning to last...from classic to new...A special highlight is the solo of "For You" and "Amazon" which was especially done for this concert...John is in top form here...his voice is beautiful to listen to...he is energetic and right on target! I became a life-long fan because of this concert...you definitely get your money's worth from John Denver!
This DVD version of a television special beautifully captures John Denver's spirit and talent. Mixed with the wonderful songs are visions of the wilderness he sought to protect. My only wish is that it somehow could have included more. Perhaps someday, they will be able to release a video from his concerts that produced his "An Evening with John Denver" so people will better remember what made him so successful.
An excellent John Denver concert, containing many recognizable favourites plus one selection apparently recorded nowhere else, "For You". John's voice is in fine form and he is backed up by skilled musicians, including James Burton on guitar. The Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation provides full, rich sound. The visual clarity is superb. A must have for any John Denver fan. It would be nice if this DVD was re-issued in Blu-Ray format. However, that is not likely to happen because of the fact that the concert was recorded in 1995. Nevertheless, this is a DVD that any John Denver fan would be happy to own.
