Summary: A MUST FOR ALL JD FANS
Review: I've seen JD in concert here in Singapore. Frankly, I enjoyed this DVD more. The quality, both audio and video are excellent. JD's voice is more matured. His warm and friendly disposition ever present always. "A Song For All Lovers" is my favourite. It would have been great if "This Old Guitar" and 'Boy From The Country" were featured. I hope the concert that made him famous years ago "An Evening With John Denver" currently available only on CD would be available on DVD soon. I've seen that concert may times during my younger days. Re-master it well and we will have a good selection of JD's works. I'm saving my five stars for this one.

Summary: A Fitting Final Tribute
Review: If you are a John Denver fan or a fan of acoustic singer/songwriters, then you will love this DVD. I know many people consider John Denver �cheesy� but I've always loved his music. To me, he is able to bring emotion to his written words better than any other singer/songwriter. Most performers really struggle after the heat of their career flames out. Having read Denver's biography, he did have those problems that may have led to some of his DUI charges. But when John Denver hit the stage, he always gave a great performance because he really connected with the audience and it showed. And since this concert was for the Wildlife charity, his performance was close to his heart with personal testimony between some of the songs that drew John to tears. The stage presence and set-up was excellent and the DVD includes the audience participation by the mostly middle-aged fans. For novice guitar players like myself there is plenty of film of John and the lead guitarist to help discover the magic of how he gets beautiful sound from his instrument. While all his old standards are here, there is plenty of off-the-beaten path material if you haven't watched Denver in concert. My particular favorite is the song written about the Alaska couple that dance after her husband's death. Denver had a unique ability to project great imagery. Most of his songs that deal with wilderness and the west are here which leaves out two of my favorites, his ode to the astronauts of the Columbia tragedy and his anti-war song with the Russian singer. With that aside, this DVD will always be a great memory of John Denver's career and his passion for the outdoors. I strongly recommend this DVD if you like singer/songwriters of the 70s era.

Summary: A MUST HAVE!
Review: If you're a fan of John's you must have this. I had the VHSand recently purchased the DVD. It makes ALL the difference in theworld. It's filled with interviews and endless music. His crystal clear voice plays all the time in our house. My favorite song on this DVD is "For You." John plays the piano on this one and even made a fan of my wife. It's the next best thing to seeing him live.

Summary: John Denver lives on in this concert!
Review: 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!

Summary: An Intimate and Magical Celebration
Review: Over the years, I have purchased most of John Denver's LPs and then CDs, and also observed several of his performances on television. (Regrettably, I was never in the audience at one of his concerts.) Recently I saw the PBS program during which the program on this DVD was recorded over a two-day period. Denver has never sounded better nor seemed happier than he does during The WILDLife Concert, totally comfortable playing a rich and diverse selection of older and newer songs. How rare and commendable that he makes each of the 25 seem so fresh. He is joined by immensely talented associates, notably James Burton, Jim Horn, and Pete Huttinger. FYI, this DVD and its companion two-disc CD include the previously unreleased "For You" which is not available elsewhere. I lack the talent to express how much I admire and will miss this talented and good man.
