Summary: The BEST
Review: Quite simply the best Concert DVD in my extensive selection. Track 14 "For You" is the most haunting beautiful song I have ever heard and its John on Piano and vocals with string backup. Brings tears of happiness and sorrow for what might have been. The other live songs are John Denver in the best voice with Harden on and Jim Horn on instrumental backup.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding DVD
Review: Recently purchased CD and after listening to first 3 songs ordered DVD. Can't stop watching DVD as John and his group are just great. Put this up there with Fleetwood Mac-The Dance DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent. John Denver at his mature best.
Review: Taking nothing away from John Denver, a significant factor with this video is the distinguished and excellent supporting cast! James Hansen on lead guitar, James Horn on baritone flute and woodwinds, Makito Sanchez on percussion with Hawk on vocals along with Huttlinger et al combine to make this a truly unique performance. Video breathes life into each personality in a manner impossible with the audio CD alone. The musical selections are equal to the performers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unswerving Commitment
Review: Terrific video with classic JD songs and commentary. John voices his true feelings in word and song. Get this and play it often. It lifts the spirit and keeps you grounded at the same time. Hard to believe that it's 9 years old and that he has been gone almost 5 1/2 years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VHS was good. DVD is fantastic!
Review: The DVD version finally arrived! The VHS format was great, but DVD is even better. Just in time to watch it on October 12th, two years since his tragic death. I'm sure he's finally getting to "Dance across the Mountains on the Moon."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST HAVE VIDEO, DVD AND CDS (TWO PART CDS)
Review: There wasn't any higher stars than 5, but this concert surpassed the rating above. I just ordered both the two CDs and the Video of the Wildlife Concert. I hadn't realized that there are DVD available so I will be purchasing that because of the lyrics included, as I am hearing impaired. Oh how I wish I could have been there. I put the video in and turned our surround system on, and we (my boyfriend Ron and I) thought we had died and gone to heaven. I do believe this was the best I have ever heard John sing, but he has always sung beautifully and I have always love his voice. It just seemed he just kept getting better and better. John's voice has always made me either melt, get goose bumps or feel such emotions that I could never describe them. As we listened and watch him perform, (we talked about it afterward), everything else cease to exit. I was trying very hard not to start crying. Ron broke down when "Sunshine on my Shoulder" was sung. I finally broke down when in one of the insert interview, John talked about how much he loved fishing and taking Zak with him and how he hoped to someday take his grandchildren with him. Tragically this will never happen. We cried not so much that the songs were so moving as they are, but that John is no longer here to spread his gift, heart, kindness, gentleness and much, much more. I would have loved to have met this wonderful person. I do have a new favorite song now though, and grateful that I have it, as it has never been recorded in a studio and the only way you'll get to hear it is on this Wildlife Concert. I play it over and over till I drive my kids crazy with it. It also made me see just how romantic he was and I'm willing to bet a wonderful lover. My Ron needs a few lesson from John, so maybe if I play it enough and make Ron listen, he'll get the hint, LOL. I know I sure envy the lucky women that had the opportunity to be intimate with him. That song is called "FOR YOU". (I did notice the pain in John's eye as he was singing this song though, was it the longing to find that kind of love, or was it lost love? It made my heart ache for him.) This is the kind of song that any woman in her right mind would want a man to sing or say to her and vise versa for men. I do know that if Ron and I ever get married this will be our wedding song.... My heart goes out to John's mom, Ron, his brother, Zak, Anna Kate and Jesse Belle, his children. You were all very lucky to have such a loved one in your lives...oh and what memories you must cherish. John will never be forgotten, for generations to come.

A John Denver fan forever, Suze

Summary: Wildlife Concert evokes powerful memories
Review: They say that music evokes not only emotion but reawakens powerful memories. Now that he is gone it is both that this concert arouses. The tape provides the listener/watcher with many of his old favorites mixed in with some less familiar recordings. The music is faithfully and cleanly reproduced and the photography angles are wonderful. We were in awe watching it. If you love John Denver's music - buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Not only John Denvers' outstanding music but much more.
Review: This concert involves Johns music, heart felt feelings about the outdoors, wildlife and conservation all expresed in a deep sincere manner as only he could. The photography and editing contributes much more the any audio only coverage could possibly do. A conservationist dream.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The definitive John Denver concert
Review: This concert was everything I had hoped it to be, and more. It was sensational. Beautifully filmed, a small and intimate venue, great sound and picture quality, a fantastic and lengthy selection of songs, and Denver giving a wonderful and meaningful performance. They don't get any better than this. JD sung all the old favourites plus a stack of new ones. It is a long concert, but one that you will enjoy all the way through. Even if you are not a JD fan, you will enjoy this exceptional concert. This concert, which was filmed with the DVD medium in mind, was far better than when I saw Denver live in concert in the late '70s in Australia. This is one of the two best DVD music concerts I have seen (the other is "Down from the Mountain"). Thank God they did this concert with DVD in mind because think of how many great artists have died, and how future generations will never be able to see their best performances. That's not the case with John Denver. With this one DVD, the "boy from the mountains" lives on!

Rating: 5 stars
