Product Description DENVER SINGS ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH AND OTHER FAVORITES IN THIS ACCLAIMED BENEFIT PERFORMANCE.
Amazon.com Self-professed "singer of the American West" John Denver shines in this heartfelt, 1995 live concert to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. Favorite songs such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Wild Montana Skies," and "Fly Away" are moving and gain fresh perspective from brief comments by Denver. Lesser-known songs like "Eagles and Horses" and "You Say the Battle Is Over" celebrate the spirit of animals and nature while underlining the importance of preservation. Succinct interview clips express Denver's commitment to nature: exploring man's basic hunger for the wild, the dichotomy between the uncultivated and the city, and the power of the individual to effect preservation and change. Striking though brief footage of wild animals like horses, eagles, penguins, and elephants in their natural habitats serve as bookends to the presentation. The Wildlife Concert is a reflective and moving musical celebration of the American West. --Tami Horiuchi
"Must have" for John Denver fansJuly 9, 2010 Michael Nelson If you loved John Denver and his songs, this CD is a must have for your collection. The concert itself is worth the price, but the producers have interlaced interviews between the various perfomances that are a gem in themselves. I would highly recommend this CD set for any long-standing JD fan, or if you are just re-discovering him!

We got this for our son (5 yrs old) for Christmas this year. He loves it! The quality of sound, video footage and overall performance by John is excellent. Definitely worth the money and enjoyable for the whole family.
Great Concert!September 20, 2009 JD Fan(Colorado) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a fantastic production recorded at a soundstage in New York City in 1995. Well produced, it sounds wonderful and John was in great form. However, this was from 1995 so it was from later in John's life. I just ordered the new 5 DVD box set called "Around the World Live", which contains concerts dating back to 1977 - from the prime of his career.
Long Live John DenverSeptember 6, 2009 Thomas Lockyer(Los Angeles) I love this DVD. While I am not a huge fan of John Denver's, I have so appreciated his music, talent and his spirit over the years. This DVD was really impressive-- and I think it really showed us the John Denver of his later years. My absolute favorite song on this DVD is "Eagles and Horses"--- it's so amazingly beautiful and he sings it effortlessly and magically.
He was a great talent-- with a beautiful voice -- and a unique style and presence--- He made a lot of people very very happy--- as he as done for me.
