John Denver - Japan 81 - Thank God I'm A Country Boy 

i'll bet he's still playing his songs and fiddle up in heaven now

Yes, John Denver is really playing fiddle, not faking it. The other fiddler is often playing chords or backup on his fiddle when Denver plays the lead melody. And I presume that other fiddler is John Martin Sommers, who wrote the tune. Good tune! I didn't know Denver played fiddle and this is fun to see!

Wait... this is in JAPAN? John Denver made a Japanese audience like country music, pack an auditorium to see him AND clap along? This guy really was a legend in his own time.

There will NEVER be another like him- his voice is the purest I've ever heard- and all of his lyrics profound messages.

I miss country music like this ... Miss ya John!

i use this song as alarm to wake up in the morning, so my mood is every day at the top

so good to see the great man sooo happy and enjoying his music..

He has so much talent and leaves us far too young. I wish I could go to his live concert though it will never happen now. Even though I never meet him at all, I miss him and his music, Somehow you wonder why some people that should live long do not and why people that should not live at all do.

Amazing talent and pure voices, no autotune, RIP Jhon Denver, thanks for your music

wait, John Denver plays the fiddle........wow.

He was simply amazing!!!!!

Best performance of thank god im a country boy ive ever seen what talent!

Master musician and an amazing human being. RIP John, you are sorely missed all over this crazy world of ours. Just listening to this can surely lift your spirits no matter where you find yourself. The world lost an amazing man far too soon.

So great to see John play the fiddle!!

John is so multi talented Love him playing the fiddle He looked really happy We love the song and JD forever❤

This is played during the 7th inning stretch at every Braves, with the Braves girls dancing on the dugout roofs. Georgia is so damn awesome!

this song has so many words in a very short space of time :)

Im not really a country music lover...but John Denver was the best.

John Denver will always be in our hearts he sure was awesome and a great voice Rest in Peace Love you Joanne Spudis Penna

Class Act

I Love This Man. had Some Problems as We All Do But Was a Pure Son Of Love and God. I Miss Him Dearly.

I never could understand why I love this song so much

We miss you, John!

Listening to this song makes me wish I was a country boy.

I saw him play the fiddle and the guitar trully talanted fellow

One of the most talented people God ever created... Gone way too soon RIP John 😥💔🙏

Great John Denver and this song. I love country music; it's beautiful

@solofiddle This is the first time I see him playing fiddle, but I'm also sure he's NOT faking it!! The fiddle in the original studio-record is played much faster than John does over here; still much more original for him to play it himself, and it sounds okay, not like a master piece, but for someone who also sings, writes songs, plays guitar at a very high level, this is a quite nice piece of 'a little bit extra'

Me encanta esta canción 👏🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😊😊😊

Far Out! Can't wait for the DVD!

what role is the other fiddle in blue play?

It's not the fiddle it's the bow 🐎

🎉😅👏👏👏

Alguém do Brasil? 💙💙👏

He died just six days after my first birthday.

Who is a better fiddler, JD or Danny Wheetman (the other fiddler in the background).

Im Ready for a sandwich 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

I consider this more bluegrass.

Why!? Why God!!? WHY!!!?

Another name for a hot Girl on the Beach 😆😆😆✌️

They played us...

I give him credit for trying. He is missed terribly.

Nice. I think he was a Democrat. Smear Russia!
