After watching John in Alaska I was so moved to see another side of this wonderful musician . His love for nature, the environment, and for peace in the world . He died doing what he loved. Flying. RiP John, you are very much Missed. Love from Australia

That was the 70s style... He got rid of the glasses in the 80s and went back to slightly shorter hair. 🔥 he was always a handsome cutie!

Thank You for posting this- its so amazing! I miss John Denver. It is great to see his from before my time, he always had that rare sweet voice and passion. I only met him once but I consider myself very lucky. I worked at Windstar and am sorry that is gone. Please keep posting and both giving to his fans who missing but letting younger folks see how a star was really born.

M Massassa, thank you for sharing so many archives of John's career. I could go into how much his talent, music, and passion touched my family...but just know that it did. I've shared his music and created John Denver fans as well. " be all that we can be, not just what we are".

Great video. John was so young! The talent was already obvious.

In 1966, I think the Mitchell Trio may have performed at Georgia Tech one night. I was a freshman student at Emory @ Oxford back in the day. I can’t help but wonder if I saw John Denver back in the day.

Wonderful hearing Denver's tenor in these group. He was as talented at harmonizing as with his solo work. It's clear he worked very hard at his craft, including the instrumental part.

Looks like such a strong connection between JD and Mary T. Anyone else think this?

How bizarre to have the announcer talk about "Chad Mitchell" and the under label says "Chad Mitchell Trio" when Chad had departed years earlier, and this trio, perhaps still known briefly as the Mitchell Trio, but with the new members David Boise and Michael Johnson were soon enjoined to drop the name without any original members--and became Denver, Boise & Johnson. Here Michael Johnson is about to sing lead on Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" with that "Chad Mitchell" label under him. It was actually John Denver who'd replaced Mitchell in the trio (as in the opening numbers on this video) as the high tenor in the group.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind putting the microphones so low the singers are being forced to stoop over? Every broadcast they are set up this way.

As with all relationships, there were two sides to their story. But I understand where you're coming from Marie. I ran a compatibility chart on John and Annie with my Astrology program that I think was pretty accurate. It stated that John was very, very sensitive and responded to people emotionally and sympathetically, while Annie was emotionally detached and often distant and inaccessible. John was a bleeding heart while Annie was more suspicious of those who were unfortunate and preferred to deal only with friends. I think he fell for her very quickly, but he fell more for who he wanted her to be than who she was. I don't think she was ever crazy about him and his music to the extent many women her age were. He may have found her to be a challenge which also attracted him to her. Even though John was sensitive, he said he was not good at expressing his feelings directly. That doesn't surprise me, him growing up with the father he had back then. But man could he express his feelings through his music. Amazing! I can see how their differences could make for challenges in the relationship. I think John would have done better with a girl who would 'Follow Him where he went' and didn't make him feel guilty when he had to leave her. Annie probably would have been better with a type B man, more laid back who would not mind her being in control in many areas of their life and would support her. But then again, there's no accounting for attraction. So much of attraction comes about from both peoples' childhood experiences and the unresolved traumas they experienced growing up. But I'm not surprised their union was as rocky as the mountains John loved.

John was a notorious, unapologetic philanderer. John deserved it. He was being a profound hypocrite, lying to the public that he was being faithful singing ‘Annie’s Song’. The minute the public found out that he’d choked Annie and had used a chainsaw to maniacally “saw” their bed in half, his music reputation tanked. I feel sorry for what Annie had been terrifyingly and silently enduring in the midst of the world applauding John.

@@thereseember2800 John wasn't the one-sided monster you make him out to be. Every one of us is a liar, hypocrite and sinner at times in our lives. And just like all humans, he was complicated with many sides to his character, as was Annie. And I don't believe she was the delicate, wilting flower you make her out to be. They were married for 15 years and adopted two children. His music and popularity had waned long before he wrote his autobiography (1994), which is when the world first learned about those episodes with Annie you mentioned. Just to give another side to John, he was, by all accounts, a generous, caring man, a loving (though often absent) father, and a true friend to many from all walks of life. His music inspired millions and his passion for the many causes he championed with his time and money have made this world a little bit better.

Goodness, that's not an accurate account at all. You've taken small snippets of his life and made them huge. John and Annie loved each other very much. The people that knew them testify to that. John's career and the huge amount of travel involved eventually caused them to go in different directions. They stayed in touch with each other throughout the years and Annie was directly involved with helping John after his divorce from Cassie. She helped build the John Denver Sanctuary and still loved and cared for him (not romantically), when he died. Best you leave your cynicism parked outside your door and not bring it into other people's lives.

Second show is ‘From the Bitter End’ . Rick Nelson is the voiceover - they repackaged it as Live From Greenwich Village and he did that years after performances. Some performers lip synched on the show. Nice to see one that didn’t (Phil Ochs and Richie Havens played live too).

Interesting how they could ridicule Reagan in the 60s.

Fact: JD took on the group's outstanding debt and paid it back himself all while trying to make a go as a solo star... Speaks volumes if you ask me. ❤❤

You can really see John smoke the rest of those fools.

Cummings up like Kenny in that other 🤔…yeah I’m comparing John Denver with kinney rodgers 🤔
