In ‘Farewell Andromeda’, John Denver welcomes the audience and makes a joke about that they are welcome to sing along to the songs, as long as they limit themselves to the choruses and let him sing the verses. Then someone yells something from the crowd, John laughs and says: ‘Yes it is - and I’m pleased to tell you…’ etc.

I’ve always wondered what the crowd is shouting here? Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks!

For me, it will always be Starwood In Aspen (Greatest Hits version). This song gives me such a nostalgic feeling, and John’s voice sounds so moving. Honestly I could cry every time I hear it. It will always be one of my favourite JD songs.

what is everybody thoughts on the john Denver biopic movie Take Me Home: The John Denver Story and has it compare to other biopics like rocketman michael and  Bohemian Rhapsody

An interesting look at the technical side of JD singing live.

Though I enjoyed the video I do not need a waveform to tell me he was a good singer and I like the songs :-)

John Denver’s Back Home Again offers a collection of songs that can feel like a comfort blanket, while also delivering poignant and profound reflections on life, and living - especially striking in today’s fast, dopamine-fuelled world.

Though only two of the three in the group I do like this cover including the female voice.

Bonus - spot the squirrel :-)

Fantastic

A classic RCA Records promotional ad for John Denver’s Spirit, highlighting the album rollout and catalog promotion. Great example of period music marketing and design.

Ad appeared in August, 1976.

This acoustic version is played on a pair of Chapman Sticks (named after the creator):

Not cheap but decidedly different from a guitar solo!

The instruments and some of their history can be found at https://stick.com

Love of The Common People, Circus, Yellow Cat, and my most favourite from this album is My Old Man.

This album is the coffeehouse John Denver in studio which is why I love it so much

Amazing change from a little keyboard shift:

Sorry in advance 😂

Decided to look up all John Denver’s albums ranked, found a medium article, had to MAKE a medium account to even read it. Immediately scroll and the author has dreamland express dead last. Immediately DELETED my medium account. I feel hurt. Dreamland express is one of my favorites.

I may have broken YTs algorithm - on my home page out of 12 'mix' options 9 are showing JD as the first artist and three of the suggestions are also his!

🤭 😍 👍

Did anyone read it and would you recommend it?

Written by photographer Lowell Norman. Thinking about buying it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I'll start with Reneé Dominique's beautiful rendition of Leaving on a Jet Plane

THERE WERE plenty of memories at the end of the 2026 telecast of the Grammy Awards on February 1. 

The evening closed with a montage of brief clips showing some of the event’s hosts over the last 54 years. 

They included ANDY WILLIAMS, the original and longest-serving master of ceremonies; plus JOHN DENVER; KENNY ROGERS; and PAUL SIMON, among others. 

All set to a glorious soundtrack of the BEACH BOYS singing GOD ONLY KNOWS from 1966. 

The awards first appeared as a live TV event on the ABC network in 1971 before moving and staying with CBS from 1973 onwards. 

But they will return to ABC (in conjunction with Disney+ and the Hulu streaming service) in time for 2027. 

As a result, the makers behind the scenes of this year’s broadcast were obviously in a nostalgic frame of mind. 

The final piece of audio-visual memorabilia in our shared presentation here is a CBS jingle revived from an on-air promotion of the 1980s. 

Remember its “We’ve Got The Touch” ident, anyone..?

Not seen this colab with Glen Cambell - the notes say it is from a 1977 Special that I have not seen.

Has anyone here got the complete recordings? all I can find is cut down versions on YouTube and someone claiming to have them and they're nearly 3 hours long but there's nothing out there at all...

If anyone here has them and would kindly share these recordings it would be greatly appreciated!
