John Denver - Live in Japan 81 - Take Me Home, Country Roads 

If I am correct John Denver himself wasn't born in WV.

Very true….this song always takes me back to my childhood home..

@@kornelkowalczyk4568he’s never even been to west Virginia till after he wrote this song

I was born in 1986 I live in TX and this is the best song ever.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We deserve Hell for our sin. Lying, lusting, etc, but God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and ride from the grave to free us from sin. If you repent and trust in him youll be saved. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊❤❤

I was 10mwjen it was released and feel the same way💞

Go to a WVU football game. They do it at the end of every single game

Besides the moonshine.

take pride in this song and take pride in your home.

a remix of this song is popular in europe, it was very popular as a song to sing along with in bars and discos

ArtravusTheDK I'm from Texas where in school it was pretty much agreed upon that no other states were or ever could be as good, but this has always been my favorite song, and I know West Virginia has no shortage of things to take pride in. I'm glad too, to see him over in Japan singing this. That's really something.

It's beautiful there! WV; what Ohio wishes it could be!!!

Auto-tune and lip-sync have taken over

Digital versatile lyrics

thats right....YES....

Chris Hanley his voice was pitch perfect, he could sing and play anything, especially the music he composed himself. As you said he sounded better live, really that says it all.....

damn right i love all that 60s/70s stuff like america and joni mitchell, dr hook even though i'm only 26

Red Dead yup.

@Red Dead wat?

Red Dead ? do u hate Jews?

ohhobamaaaL if I were to say one bad thing about a culture does that mean I hate the whole culture

Mr. Hatdag did I say I did

Kaja cerna we never stopped ❤️

A legend never dies

Kana cerna you are a good person

Count me in! 2020

TELL YOU REALISE THE SONG WAS MADE IN COLORADO

@@med109 No it wasn't. Denver helped Bill &Taffy Danoff finish it while visiting them in DC.

I love this song! This is my favorite version of it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DAXrMWQ5IUo.html

Hello

i think the song is about the west part of the state of Virginia. Not about West Virginia state. But i think you can enjoy the song anyway.

Hello

And she looked good too! 😁 Sad to think this was 42 years ago (as of October 2023), meaning that, if she is still alive, she's 75 or 80... Yet here she is, eternally young and beautiful, forever joyously performing a classic song on a beautiful night. An odd sort of magic...

How could you tell her vocals were "hauntingly Beautiful" ? She didn't have a Solo part.

Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹 how are you doing?

Tanvi Ezrah Tharian Depends, the future isn’t always so clear.

Tanvi Ezrah Tharian hell yeah!

Tanvi Ezrah Tharian Im still listening to this about hundred times on this modern day...

The music of today is actually pretty good, you just have to look for it

Harry Bennett most of it isn’t at all. It has a lot less chord variations unlike the 60s and 70s.

was Burton with him?

Ronnie Tutt went to Neil Diamond

Burton went too. Glen Hardin also

Who is the Female background singer??

Neil Tipton Renee Armand. Probably the best of JD’s backing singers. She performed with him in the late 70s and early 80s.

☺

@Leopold yes.... he.... is.. he died in 1997, should've done your research

@Leopold he's very much dead

RIP

I know poor john

@Jonnnn sir that one went right over your head

@Jonnnn but doesn’t stop him from being alive in my heart

Yep, his spirit still sings!

Don’t you listen to polka music in Germany?

@@MrLump dont be rude.

State of Germany is very sad... be good, be strong 💪

@@elpeopuru3003 the fuck it isnt

XD oh boi

i never thought i'd see a british rust youtuber here in our american culture (joking around with that last bit) did you froget you made this comment?

Yep

What a classic 👌

So true.

I saw him three times! Thrilled everytime.

Ya

Hello pretty 💝

Hello how are you doing today I hope everything is going well with you and your family, my name is David Aksel I will love to learn about you if you don't mind reply me let's chat in private chat room, hope to hear from you soon thank you.

😂😂 West Virginia proud! Virginians are still bitter from our divorce from them on June 20, 1863. 🤣

I think it's about country roads and going home anywhere. This is a Japanese audience and it affected them. They paid to hear him sing this song. I did wonder if there was a screen with the Japanese translation.

Shame he went so early

@sharktopus maybe this fella is your dad

Ellis Evans damn calm down she’s only 61

I hear this for the first time in 2005 when I was 3 years old

Hello

Thanks for the much ❤️love. I love you all🌹🌹🌹🌹

Funny thing it would be so popular in Norway... You guys have some pretty awesome mountains of your own! 😊 I see the posts saying how popular it is in Norway, Germany, Japan... And I wonder why? How is it viewed in these other lands? What does it mean to others? Here in the US, it is nostalgia - a dream of a past many of us never really knew. That was big in the 70s-- watch an episode of The Walton's (a big TV show at that time)! Back to nature, back to the old ways... A rebuking of "Modern" America and it's commercialism and consumerism. We knew we were losing all that made us who we were. People like John showed us the way, just in time. The Firefox books, saving the last steam trains as tourist lines, even commercial things (Hee-Haw, The Dukes of Hazard, etc) saved a small taste of classic Americana.

Hey 👋 how are you doing?

It can take you back to a childhood day, W/th family @ th table homemade biscuits, & country ham

U was born when he died. So u must continue his music

So true

its a cult song in germany. i really know what u mean ;)

so true, dude

BuildCrafter99 Stimmt Minecraft Mensch. Es ist aber nicht nur der Song, Abba, bap, mmeb usw. Alles das

mongo lala fuck yeahh son!

That's very nice what you wrote there. All the best.

I have dreamed of moving to the heart of the Appalachians for 30 years... I want to spend my last years on top of a ridge deep in some holler, in a log cabin with a fire in the hearth and a mason jar of sippin whiskey. A banjo and a hound, under a full October moon... Apples and corn harvested, the sugar maple sap distilling into syrup... I might as well wish to just go back in time about 60 years.

Shadow 70 yeah, way too early he left :(

He died doing what he loved. Flying his Rutan Long-EZ plane.

It's everybody's time, sometime. 💞

Same. But we're out of luck. 😢

Um he kinda did a heart attac and died

@@clichenachos3109 not exactly lol

@@clichenachos3109 he died in a plane crash.

@@gavinwilson8554 a plane crash? My grampa told.me he died of a heart attack
