Sing Australia (In Concert) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As many people have asserted, John Denver sounded best when heard live in concert. I think this compilation, Sing Australia, is a fine example of that. Recorded in 1994 this CD offers a wide variety of John's most well loved songs. On this CD there are many superior renditions of his work. "Rocky Mountain High," is accentuated with a warm rich synthesizer, and the reverence and the majesty of the mountains is reflected in his voice. The song "For You" is sung with a slow heart felt poignancy, while "Poems, Prayers and Promises" wraps you in a comforting melodic blanket that reminds everyone what the truly meaningful things in life are. A favorite song of mine, "Rhymes and Reasons" is offered in prayer-like fashion with a timeless message of hope for these troubled times; "come and stand beside us, we can find a better way." John usually ended his performances with "Calypso" and the version offered here will create for the listener an experiential taste of being there at one of John's concerts. From beginning to end this entire CD offers you a glimpse into the excitement and connection, the joy and serenity, that you would feel at a John Denver concert.

John Denver is one of the most successful and best loved recording artists of the 20th century. His easy going manner, fine voice, superb songwriting and dedication to environmental issues all combined to build a huge global fan base that has continued to grow since his untimely death in a plane crash in 1997. This superb 5-disc set is the definitive John Denver DVD release. There are three complete live performances with full band from Australia in 1977, Japan in 1981 and England in 1986. These are complemented by a solo acoustic performance from Japan in 1984 and his performances at Farm Aid from 1985, 1987 & 1990. The final disc has two hour long documentaries made by John Denver, his 1990 Earth Day program about environmental issues and his 1972 show about the Bighorn sheep of his beloved Rocky Mountains.

John Denver - The Wildlife Concert (1995) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Denver will be sorely missed by my wife and I. We both have loved his memorable songs for many years. Regretfully, we never had the priviledge of attending one of his concerts. This DVD is the closest we'll ever come to a live John Denver concert. But thankfully, this is a wonderful concert and DVD indeed.
John puts on such a wonderful performance. The video and audio quality is wonderful. On-screen lyrics are included.
I love the accompanying strings in this performance. They give his songs an especially melodic quality. This is a trend I've noticed lately in live performances that I hope continues.
"For You" is a wonderful love song that pulls on my heart strings every time I hear it. It's one of the loveliest love songs I've ever heard. And what a moving rendition is included on this DVD. If there is a romantic bone in your body, you'll love this song. I'm moved every time I play it!
This is John Denver at his best!
