Free Music Notes for An Evening With John Denver (2CD)

Free Music Review: AEWJD live is better than any other recording of his
Hit: 5 Stars

Ok, first I need to pass on something only people who ever met the man would really appreciate. Back in the 70's, as part of a radio/TV course I was taking at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, A friend of mine and I were assigned to go interview John Denver after a concert he was giving in Omaha.

Two things stick with me from that meeting. The first is that John had us all sit in a circle on the floor in the room and he went around the circle and asked each person their name, repeating it as we went. Then through the entire time we were all talking, John used each person's name when responding to a question. It was really important to him that he made that connection with everyone and I have to say to this day I remain impressed that he was able to keep the names of some ten people he'd never met straight in his head.

The second thing I recall is that after the interviews were all done, John asked my friend and I if we'd come on our own. We told him no, that since we had tickets for four people, we found two girls from the university that we barely knew, and offered them the chance to come with us. Less of a date, more of a chance to see JD for free and get a ride to and back from the concert. I mentioned that we'd told the girls we needed to interview John Denver, that we'd asked them to wait at the car, but that they both made it pretty clear they thought we were full of it. John kind of laughed at that. Now whether he tipped us off to what he was thinking right then I don't recall, but as we met back up with the girls at the car, this limo drives up, the driver's window comes down and it's JD at the wheel. He said something about it being his turn to drive, said hi to the girls, said "good interview Jim," and sped off.

Now about the CD. I don't have it. I have two copies of the original vinyl (orange label) and one with the black label. I also have the fold-out poster that came with the original. I will say this about JD live in general. If you think you know the man's music because of what you heard on the radio, you're flat wrong. A lot of the "popular" albums are in my view, pretty flat sounding. The real life force of the man, what made him so popular, not to mention the fullness of his voice is readily apparent in his live performances. He had some very talented artists performing with him, and again, they're all but hidden on some of the studio tracks. Not so here. Some have said that if you don't like JD, this album probably won't change your mind. Well, if you can't stand listening to someone who clearly at the time just loved what he was doing, was in awe of the fact that so many people wanted to see him, then maybe so.

But this really is one of those instances where the performer live is so much more than the studio musician and I encourage you to give it a try.
