Hello 👋 Marshell. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where you are from? You seem like a real country girl
John Denver was sorely underrated as a guitar player, and man look how brand new his custom-built Guild F50R guitar looks. That's the one most identified with him.
I wanted one all my life, but could never afford one, but finally got an F50R in my old age and now there's no one to play for, so no motivation to stay in practice. I guess life happens backwards for some of us.
Everyone has their own opinion about someone and in my eyes, heart and soul,no one in this world competes with a man as wonderful as John. My statement is that of my own personal experience with the man.
A baseball all star game was played this past week in COLORADO, and afterwards this lullaby came to me. .i haven't stopped listening to as many versions of COLORADO MOUNTAUN HIGH as i can find. .MESMERIZING..R.I.P. JOHN ..TY for tge memories.
I was 17 and in 6th form and went home and CRIED. He is the reason I love music and I love the music I love, and I think why I love the USA and loved Colorado/ Montana before I ever saw them...I still play his music now if I'm having a bad day and it soothes me, likely he'll become the lullaby singer when I have kids!
I wore glasses all of my teen years, I was very insecure for it. then I saw John singing about the outdoors and wearing eyeglasses. I love him pretty quick I miss him..what he would think of todays music and we still fighting each other
my wife, my son, and I saw an eagle in north Alabama this Sunday morning. I thought about this song. I miss John Denver. I drove from here to the Rockys and back home, and with some dear souls, and we knew what he sang about.
Following my star, I left California for Colorado in 1972. Went to Colorado Springs, a childhood favorite spot, a stop on the way to Grandfather's house in Cheyenne from Amarillo, home town. Stopped by Cripple Creek on my way to Colorado Springs. The whole trip was moderated by John Denver and singing this song among others at the time. Never saw him, envy you that. His legacy lives and is renewed now with J legal in Colorado.
people don't know it now...but you could not escape John Denver anywhere for about 5 years in the mid-70s if you tried. he was everywhere and all the time. and you couldn't get a ticket to see him in concert, they were in such high demand. an incredible run. as a kid watching all this, i knew what I wanted to do, well...anyway he's the reason (like millions others) I've played guitar my entire life.
It’s cool to watch this and then watch the Wildlife Concert version years later. It shows true progression in a songwriters career and the mastery of years playing the same song. Every. Night.
I remember how , days after John's death ( on Canadian Thanksgiving Day ), PBS showed "The Wildlife Concert." He had the audience in the palm of his hand ( standing ovation after "Rocky Mountain High.") I particularly loved "Back Home Again." Brought me back to grade 9 in 1974-75.
This had to be real close to when Rocky Mountain High first came out. You can tell. JD actually looks a little nervous as though he's not got it down pat yet. A very lovely and accessible performance. Thanks for putting it up.
He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before. He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again, you might say he found a key for every door. When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away on the road and hanging by a song. But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care, it keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky. The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below, he saw everything as far as you can see. And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun, and he lost a friend, but kept the memory. Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the streams, seeking grace in every step he takes. His sight is turned inside himself, to try and understand the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky. You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear, of a simple thing he can not comprehend. Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more, more people, more scars upon the land. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky. I know he'd be a poor man if he never saw an eagle fly, Rocky Mountain high, the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
I was 13 when this song came out. Just the right age to tap in to a popular contemporary artist without having a parent dangle him in front of me and spend years trying to introduce and explain his music to me. I grew up in a very rual area. We were surrounded by hundreds of acres of wooded natural land. It was my playground all through my childhood. One day when I was 14, I walked to the spot my friends and I used to camp at. It was there one day I saw the 4ft tall wooden stakes with florescent orange ribbons on the tips that dotted a path through the woods. I knew there would be bulldozers and dump trucks soon. I angrily waded through the woods pulled each and every stake out and whipped them into the thick brush. Unfortunately the pipeline and road still came. So did the 10 acre lake and expensive homes. My childhood playground was gone for good in just a couple of years. Everytime I listen to Rocky Mountain High, the lines "Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more, more people more scars upon the land" takes me right back to that time period.
When I was just a youngin teen, I was into harder rock bands and music, as were my friends, and John Denver wasn't really considered 'IN' for us, but I always liked this song and definitely could appreciate the talent he had as a composer, musician and vocalist. There is HOPE for the youth/teens for as I matured, so did my musical tastes and now I enjoy such a much broader and diversified genre... :)
John was magnificent and in this early live version retaining all the extra guitar work which I miss big time in later renditions. Top notch Johnny D and friends
This performance was the first time my late Dad and i ever really connected over music, as we both sat watching it. That Christmas he asked for a best of cd, which i now have and reminds me of him ecery time i play it.
it was about getting high for me...ha ha now that was a life time ago i was a senior in high school in 1972 worried about Vietnam and loving this song and John Denver...and the first time my wife and I went to colorado in 1976 we then knew what he ment .....
Well, to John's fans that's true. Ask an Adele or Katy fan, and they might say "who's John Denver?" Relevance in the music world is in the eyes of the beholder. Only a handful of John's music has become "time withstanding" unfortunately. Country Roads, Jet Plane, RMH, Annie's Song and Sunshine to name 5 are still well known, especially Country Roads. Songs like Calypso and Looking For Space have become somewhat obscure, and "How Can I Leave You Again" is something very few knows exists.
His voice was softer and more youthful in the early years. As he got older "as with most of us" his voice got a little huskier sounding, He still sounded amazing in all cases, a shining example of fantastic later performance was Calypso at Cedar rapids 1987, he sounded completely ethereal during that performance, particularly the yodeling sections of the song.
He came in 4th place for solo artist selling albums. Elvis had 4 billion, M. Jackson had 750 Mil., Frank Sinatra had 150 Mil. the Great John Denver had 130 Million.
John Denvers Colorado for me it was Aspen one of the best places in America in my day. skiing down Aspen Mountin with Rocky Mt. High playing through the headphones. A trip not to long ago left me appalled. Like all the wonderful places in America(example_ Los Angeles) New people flocked there and ruined the best part of it. Aspen was liberal but not the liberal we see today Today Liberal is tyranny, loss of freedom, and lunacy. We need more John Denvers.
And oddly enough - Denver had 6 #1 hits - but is best known for Rocky Mountain High - which barely got into the top 10 - at #9!!!!!! His Greatest Hits album (released 1974) - redefined the music business - it was the first album to sell over 10,000,000 copies within 1 year of release!! RIAA changed a Gold record from 1,000,000 sales to 500,000 and added Platinum (over 1,000,000 sales within 1 year of release) and Diamond (over 10,000,000 sales within 1 year of release)!
Yet ,I know kids who listen to classic Rock, who've taken to John Denver, Merle Haggerd , George Jones , . It's Pop culture that takes the new music without influencing the older genuine musicianal type music into the mix. Everything today is Disney Produced or American Idol produced . If you don't have the look they're looking for or the attitude, your music isn't recorded . It's actually really sad. So kids listen to what Pop culture picks for them without the old .
It was banned by some radio stations, but that ban didn't last long, because I heard it on the radio constantly and into the 80s before current pop music started superceding music like John's and other oldies artists.
LOL... you have to get them custom made. I used to custom make shirts of this type, by the way. I also used to make custom western shirts and rodeo wear. I haven't done it in years now. But its cool stuff, huh?
Ok who would be todays John Denver, I know in the land of Oz we have know one that comes near his ability to lay it on the line, what about in the US of A. It is John that is driving my 12 yr old to learn the guitar, cant wait until Troys voice breaks, another Denver? Maybe!!
Couple of thoughts, although he started out as a sort of folk musician I think he can be defined as country pop. He stayed true to himself, involving himself and environmental issues. And... I watched the movie about his life and all I can say is his ex-wife was a real cunt. RIP John, you will never be forgotten.
@@PlumbNutz I've seen that movie too.. Take Me Home The John Denver Story.. to be honest that movie wasn't great. The timeline was off for starters and the movie kinda made John out to be a sap when he wasn't. As for the ex wife, all I can say there I prefer Annie.
I know this sounds crazy, but when I think about John Denver nowadays I don't think about his music, I think about the fact his life ended in tragedy and controversy-just as I do with the other John: John F. Kennedy. I really want to write a book about the 60's era (1963-84) because I've read several books and I don't feel that the the whole story has not been told-there are secrets that still hasn't been revealed. As what Rick Pearlstein wrote in "Nixonland": 'What did the 60's do to us?'
I think this is "In Concert" rather than Top of the Pops. The studio is a more subdued set and the audience tend to be sitting. TOTP2 played clips from all sorts of sources, as a big chunk of TOTP episodes were lost.
There will never be another singer like him. I love and miss you John Denver.
Me too!!
(H
Sfg
This is John Denver at his best.Clear,simple and easy listening.
The world lost this great musician far too soon. One of the greatest folk singers of ALL TIME!
joevs21001 He was amazing.
Joevs21001…let’s agree to agree on this one!!!!
I was overseas in the USAF when this song was a hit... I knew I'd be getting out in the seventh month ("summer") of my twenty-seventh, and probably to live somewhere I'd never been.... It kept me sane in the madness of the military... and life did indeed happen that way for me. This always will be among my very favorite.
Hello 👋 Marshell. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where you are from? You seem like a real country girl

Everyone has their own opinion about someone and in my eyes, heart and soul,no one in this world competes with a man as wonderful as John. My statement is that of my own personal experience with the man.

I wore glasses all of my teen years, I was very insecure for it. then I saw John singing about the outdoors and wearing eyeglasses. I love him pretty quick I miss him..what he would think of todays music and we still fighting each other
my wife, my son, and I saw an eagle in north Alabama this Sunday morning. I thought about this song. I miss John Denver. I drove from here to the Rockys and back home, and with some dear souls, and we knew what he sang about.
20 years gone & still captivating to listen to.

quad1000 And lets not forget about him as an actor. “Oh God” with George Burns and Teri Garr was always one of my favorite movies.
Did you ever figure out how to play Rocky Mt High?
@@jameseverett4976 who me? sure I can play that one
Simply The Greatest of all time. I miss you John. The world is alot sader with out

Yeah, brings back the good ole' days! Can't get them back, but memories are priceless!
Your Music will always have a place in my heart...R.I.P my brother.
One of the few top of the pops during that time period that was allowed to be done live. Great great talent
This wasn't from Top Of The Pops, it is from a programme called Sounds For Saturday.
It's about his discovery and love of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
this has always been my favorite John Denver song it just says so much about what He was about and his love of the mountains
I was born that year I love it from Ireland rip John
Hello from Donegal
We miss you John Denver!
This had to be real close to when Rocky Mountain High first came out. You can tell. JD actually looks a little nervous as though he's not got it down pat yet. A very lovely and accessible performance. Thanks for putting it up.
yes,its simple and meaningful not like most of todays music, thank you.
He was my first crush when I was 7 years old. I never got over it.
Great song. Just a guitar and two back up instruments that is all. His voice lights up the place.
Love this song, so glad RUclips is around so I can still see him perform.
I saw John Denver live three times - once in the front row. This video was the best he ever was. Wow! Thanks for this video.
Awesome story you share about his legacy. I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. Colorado is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Katy , Adele , Munford and Sons don't hold a candle to John Denver. Nobody is going to remember them in 20 years . But we'll still remember John.
I always loved his music and the man himself. I miss you John Denver. Thanks for the fantastic music which I can play myself on my guitar. Peace.
I had the privilege of seeing him 3 times. My all time favourite artist.
A shame this never entered into the British charts just like many of his songs.
He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before.
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,
you might say he found a key for every door.
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away on the road and hanging by a song.
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care,
it keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long.
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby.
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
he saw everything as far as you can see.
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,
and he lost a friend, but kept the memory.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the streams, seeking grace in every step he takes.
His sight is turned inside himself, to try and understand
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear,
of a simple thing he can not comprehend.
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more,
more people, more scars upon the land.
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
I know he'd be a poor man if he never saw an eagle fly,
Rocky Mountain high, the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
Saw John 32 times my very favorite artist by far love and miss you John always with me and in my heart ,❤😅
25 Years Without John In The World Never Forgotten RIP John 💔😭 GBNF We Miss You Beyond Words John

He was one of a kind, so beautiful 🌿
A magical song. And a wondrous man.
R.I.P from Germany (Bavaria)
This performance was the first time my late Dad and i ever really connected over music, as we both sat watching it. That Christmas he asked for a best of cd, which i now have and reminds me of him ecery time i play it.
Best version of this song I ever heard
Going back now and listening to this I appreciate it even more. A national treasure
Wonderful John the best folk singer. Voice guitar songs timeless
John loved so much life and the simple thing. His smile tells more than words.
Mountain Man. I miss you.
I was named after this song from John Denver = Matthew JayHawk September 7Th, 1972 11:59pm ;-)
it was about getting high for me...ha ha now that was a life time ago i was a senior in high school in 1972 worried about Vietnam and loving this song and John Denver...and the first time my wife and I went to colorado in 1976 we then knew what he ment .....
Wonderful musician and person. Rest in peace John and God bless your family and fans
Always nice to see these "youthful John" videos.
such lovely and well spoken words,thank you.
gosh he was great!
I played a tribute to him with the two guys behind him - Mike Taylor and Dick Kniss. One of the saddest best shows I've ever been in.
this is awesome
its a great song. im glad to have youtube to share these videos with fellow JD fans.
I loved this album!!
yes a great composer,sorely missed by all his fans!thank u for the comment!

yes i agree. it is one of his best.thank you.
Yeah, I grew up to listening to his greatest hits. Grandmothers Feather Bed is one of my favs.
trying to describe where I'm from to a friend in France, i used this link.Thank you for posting it!
I still get a little emotional listening to him.
I suppose it's just a testament to John's musical skill.
Goodness how cute this version.
John sounds better in '72 ...the earlier years, than the later years. Something about his voice here is really special.
His voice was softer and more youthful in the early years. As he got older "as with most of us" his voice got a little huskier sounding, He still sounded amazing in all cases, a shining example of fantastic later performance was Calypso at Cedar rapids 1987, he sounded completely ethereal during that performance, particularly the yodeling sections of the song.

I'm a fan of John Denver, but you got the wrong stats.
there is no way Elvis sold 4 billion records.
Awesome!

They couldn't even let him finish the song first. Announcers have to hear their own voices too often.
