John Denver "Take Me Home, Country Roads" REACTION Video | best reaction video to 70s music 

Anyone see the nfl game in Germany this past Sunday. in the 4th quarter the whole crowd broke out and sung this song at the top of their lungs. goose bump moment

I sat in the third row and never wanted this concert to end. Thank you for so many great concerts. Best times of my life. Rest in Peace John.... 🌹🌹🌹

John Denver is a national treasure. He is the only artist to have written two state anthems -- One for West Virginia ("Take Me Home, Country Roads) and one for Colorado ("Rocky Mountain High"). I'd love to see mother & daughter reaction to "Rocky Mountain High".

This song is so simple yet beautiful. Pure music at its best!

My favorite song is “Calipso”

I'm a West Virginia boy and moved to Florida in 1973 but moved back home in 2001 met my late wife and was together for 17 yrs until 2018, miss that woman dearly

My favourite song by John Denver is Leaving on a Jet Plane.

John Denver wrote loads of great songs. He sounds better live than on the studio versions. The world lost him too soon. R.I.P. John.

I'm from West Virginia, I've lived in other states and never felt liked I belonged there. Ended up back in WV and and it feels like Home.

Back in 69 in Vietnam we had a brother from West Virginia who was called "Hillbilly". Everytime I hear this song I think of him and the times we had. Sadly I can't find him anywhere.

This Wildlife Concert is so goodg and it’d be great to hear reactions to a few others from this. Such an excellent live concert by the late great John Denver. He’ll be forever missed.

"Perhaps Love"..JOHN DENVER AND PALACIDO DOMINGO... think you two would be blown away. Much love, 😁💯

I saw him in concert. It was pure joy!!

Home free cover of country roads “ is great. The harmonies are great .

While I'm not a West Virginia Mountaineer fan, it is really impressive to hear 60,000 people sing it. My favorite JD songs are Annie's song, which he wrote when he and his wife were on rocky footing, Calypso, that he did for Jacques Cousteau, and leaving on a jet plane, made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary. He has a wonderful Christmas album with the Muppets as well. Thank you for listening.

Perhaps Love - John Denver with Placido Domingo. Beautiful.

John's first hit and ever since I heard it at the age of 18, it has been my favorite song of his. A great voice

John’s first wife is from St.Peter, Mn. where I was born (just down the Country Road from us)

Sunshine On My Shoulders by John Denver is one of my favorite songs. I love this one also. The sound of his voice in the recording touches me more than his live version

This is the state song of West Virginia. His song "Rocky Mt. High" is the state song of Colorado.

When John was filming this show for the the Wildlife Dederaration, it was a cold rainy day, He stepped outside fora break and was astounded to see aline of people standing outside to get ticket and singing Country Roads together. John had co-written this song almost 25 years ago when he was filming this show. He wrote so mNY WONDERFUL SONGS. lOOK INTO HIS CATALOG. yOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. iF HE HAD HELP AND SANG SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE WROTE, HE USUALLY HAD A STORY ABOUT THE SONG.

"John Denver - Country Roads" The greatest song by John Denver! 🎸🎤

Awesome reactions. I was born in 71 - Dec 29th , so this song is a little older then me ; but this is probably my all time favorite song by John Denver. John Denver was the first artist I saw in a live concert. Another artist that had a genuine voice was Randy Travis his stroke. Thanks for doing this reaction.

Who does'nt love John Denver!!! May I suggest "Calypso" by John Denver!!

RIP John, taken too soon like so many other great artists. Love his music.

John is a national treasure we lost far too soon. I don't think the man ever sang a bad song. "Country Roads" is one of four state songs for WV. There is a lot of poverty there, but it is an amazingly beautiful state. This song is known worldwide. There are clips of it being sung in other countries in bars, sports stadiums, etc.

I saw him live.

Thank God I'm a Country Boy is a real fun John Denver song. I also really like his duet with Mama Cass Elliot - Leaving on a jet plane. Hell, I live in the Highlands of Scotland and Country Roads makes me feel all homely and good inside.

This is REAL, GENUINE entertainment! No running or crawling around the stage, throwing one's clothes off in a striptease, with auto-tune, fireworks and smoke bombs going off! Just an amazing guy with an incredibly unearthly voice standing there with a guitar and a microphone, entertaining the stuffings out of the audience in an unforgettable performance, making memories for them that would last a lifetime!!!!!

I grew up on a farm, (and stayed there), we had two best holidays, Christmas and July 4th. The community would celebrate the 4th at rotating farmsteads, and I will always remember sitting around with all the neighbor young folks singing songs, playing guitar etc. Take me home was one of our favorites.....gosh 51 years ago, and this song puts me right back there with all of them. Some have passed on now, but I'll always be able to be there in my mind when I hear that song. Thank you. BTW, Hey It's Good to be Back Home Again, by John does the same thing. God Bless.

This is the second one I watched. That hair flip and clowning around at the end was absolutely hilarious and touching because of course, mother and daughter. I've always loved that song and it's a part of my very young childhood. What a great reaction. I looked briefly to the playlist for Elvis Presley didn't see it but I have a feeling you've done some, but either way, fun stuff.

My Dad use to say he walked to school barefoot in the snow uphill. He stated that in front of his father one time and grandpaw stated that was a lie he had new shoes every winter and lived across the street from the school with 12 other brothers and sisters.

Thanks! Rest in Peace Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. (John Denver). Ever notice how it seems that people born with insane prodigy skills often has very difficult times in & with their private lives. John Denver was no different, had a Severe Problem with Alcohol, along with various neurosis that ultimately made him someone you Couldn't Live with. Last wife Annie (like in "Annies Song"), was having some tree and landscape work done, John returned home from a tour, highly intoxicated he went into a violent rant shouting about how his wife had cut out some of his favorite bushes and trees on purpose, just waiting for him to leave. He went outside, returned with a chainsaw and proceeded to cut into pieces their extremely expensive Imported Dining Table and accompanied chairs. Died Alone flying a Long EZ (a really innovative Home-Built Aircraft) a friend owned when he forgot to check the gas and ran out. He already had his license pulled many months back due to alcoholic medical, he was flying Illegal.

You might love the performance when Mama Cass accompanies him.

I'm following instructions. I'm singing the high harmony. RIP John.

Love john denver and this song I would love you guys to listen to john Denver and mama cass elliot singing leaving on a jet plane which was written by mama cass from the mammas and the pappas

Great cover and adaptation of the Toots and the Maytals original.

If you love uplifting, well-composed, beautifully performed music-- then John Denver would fill the bill. Thank you for this reaction-- both yours and your Mom's enthusiasm is infectious! I finally got to see this particular WildLife Concert-- his last before he died. It was WONDERFUL!!

His first hit.

Love John Denver. Got to see him in concert in northeast Ohio back in the 70s. His voice is just amazing and so beautiful. So many great songs to choose. Thank God I'm a Country Boy is great. If you can find a live performance it really shows how much fun he has performing it. Great reaction and memories for you.

Thanks!

Nice reaction and BTW appreciate the honesty saying not the first time you heard a song. You two are fun to watch😀

Dudes... I'm from Europe and I freaking love country... mean Mary, Willow Osborne, Roy Clark, what have you... Just keep on giving :D

I've just discovered you girls in the last couple of days i love your reactions and you listen to some beautiful music i love this channel thank you x

Wow, that's just as polished as the studio version -- that's talent!!!

Ditto what I said in my Patreon comment on this video. I’m glad to see RU-vid unblocked this video! Love the antics with your hair at the end of the video. Baby Gap tossing your hair, Momma Gap giving Baby Gap a mustache with your hair.😂

Great Song. I think you would like Darryl Singletary's version. It is a more country version with a wonderful deep voice. Darryl passed away about 6 years ago at age 46.

You should react to Alan Jackson "Remember When". It tells the story of a young couple starting life together and their journey of growing old together. Beautiful video.

❤❤❤❤❤

Another great musician who was taken way before his time. John Denver will always be loved.

Always a pleasure to watch your reactions. Just a teen then.

One my favorite songs .thank you for doing this one

I just discovered that I am paternally related to Levi Shinn, who founded Shinnston, WV, so this song is perfect timing! Great song!

Liked this song from the start,1971. Being from West Virginia myself, Raleigh county between Hinton and Shady Spring, it reminds me of my home.

I saw him live in the late 1970's. Having seen many concerts during this period, mostly rock, this was by far the most beautiful experience ever. The musicianship and vocals were the best I ever witnessed. 'Poems, Prayers, & Promises', 'Follow Me', and 'Rhymes and Reasons' are hidden gems.

My favorite live song by him is "Calypso" from the Wildlife Concert. Check it out. You can watch him yodel. 🙂

That whole concert is solidly entertaining throughout - highly recommended.

Deservedly and undeniable FIRST from South East London😀

I love John Denver this song is so catchy could you react to sunshine on my shoulders it's a beutiful song

I'm so glad I found this channel. Two beautiful ladies reacting to classic songs. Love it ! Keep up the great work!

My favourite John Denver song is an incredibly beautiful song called “For You”. Would love if you would react to the live version of this from the Wildlife Concert. His vocals are just stunning 😊❤️

If you want a great love song by John Denver, you can't beat Annie's Song.

John Denver was so awesome. He has become an icon. RIP John. You might if you have not listened to Home Free's version it is so awesome. John would be proud.! I love your reactions!

Home Free, the a capella vocal group, do a great cover of the song. They make it more of a yearning for home kind of song. They lose the bounce John Denver had, but somehow more appropriate to the feeling. I think John would have liked hearing their version.

I grew up in WV. I no longer live there. But every time I hear this song I miss the Mountain's. What part of WV is your grandfather from?

Please listed to the jonathan antoine version. He is the opera singer that did very well in the Britain's got talent. He is now one of the best singers jn the works. Listen to him singing songs from the godfather, plus other lovely songs

I'm glad you were finally able to do a reaction to this song on youtube. I know you previously had issues with it being blocked. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is one of John Denver's signature songs and his first major hit that launched his recording career. The people in West Virginia wanted to make this their state song. John Denver also wrote "Leaving On A Jet Plane" which he gave to Peter, Paul, and Mary and they took it to #1 on the pop charts in 1969. There are 2 other John Denver songs that I'd like for you to react to. They are "Rocky Mountain High", which the people in Colorado wanted to make it their state song, and his duet with Placido Domingo "Perhaps Love" which his ex-wife Annie admitted is her favorite John Denver song.

FYI John was born in Roswell,NM.

Absolutely love John Denver. I met and married my husband in the summer of '71. John Dever's favorite saying was "Far Out" For a treat you need to hear Geoff Castellucci's amazing cover of this song. Gave me chills.

It was tough to listen to, played at my Mum's funeral

If you'd like to hear the band that did the backing tracks to this song search YT for Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight (1976) Uncut Video

and it was uphill both ways

You guys are just so cute!🙂

“Country Road has since been certified platinum, but only made it to #2 on Billboard Hot 100, topped by “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” by the Bee Gees. I guess timing really is everything! A few years later the Gibbs wrote and recorded “Country Lanes” with Robin singing lead. I’ve alway wondered if it was a bit of a nod to John Denver. Please react to it. I’d love to know your opinion.

So much great music for you to discover from the 50's 60's & 70's , John Denver also had a TV variety show music and comedy skits.(1973) Cheers from Boston!

Another great song from The Wildlife Concert is Amazon (not related to the online retailer). It's one of his later songs that didn't get a lot of play time but it's a really good, energetic song that's about environmental activism without getting all up in your face and preachy about it.

Another good reaction to a great artist: This song was the first time that I ever heard John Denver and I still have the 45. Mamma Gap's story reminded me of the time when I was about 10 and I had to walk 1/2 mile home alone from my father's place of work in -45° (minus) weather. Here is a suggestion; people almost always play his most well known songs. Gordon Lightfoot's song, Beautiful was a hit here in Canada but barely charted in the USA. I think you would love that one and it would be great if you would react to it. I should add that another John Denver song that is superb is How Can I Leave You Again.

I know you've done some comparisons of covers before...would love to see you react to the cover of this song by Geoff Castellucci. He is a basso profundo with 4+ octaves. He also does all his own harmonizing and arranging.

Back when music required talent & creativity, no bling, special effects or auto tune. Just actual people singing and playing instruments, using their true talent. Really miss this…

Last Question trying to catch someone in a Freudian Slip, "Who's the more attractive ?" Me- "Man, Not only do I have to deal with just waking up with a banger of a headache, and other issues from being ridden hard and put wet most my life, now you Guys are trying to make my Ears Bleed" ! Have a bit of Mercy on a poor sole, It took me 2 days last year trying to decide just what tomato to plant, having to answer an UN-answerable question such as that is probably going to eventually Vitrify my Brain's core.

Please react to John Denver - Sunshine On My Shoulders :)

Are you two "West Virginia Mountain Mommas" that he sings about?

If you liked this, you should listen to his song Wild Montana Skies.

Everytime I start to listen to you two, and daughter has already heard the song, I click you both off, I don't want to hear something you have heard. It is for me a first reaction song I want to hear from daughter.

Could you listen to and react to Randy Travis singing “Three Wooden Crosses”?

Wow! You look great in green❤️

Please reaction a Tokyo naghts Live in Melbourne Austrália the beegees

I would like to suggest you listen to “Forever Young” with Rod Stewart. As a parent you’ll understand why!

Home Free do a fantastic cover of this song. They present a more plaintive quality. John sings in a more bouncy

Now do a reaction to mixing up “aux” and “off” switches in an aircraft.

I don't think that your grandpa was exaggerating about the poverty that he faced growing up. My mother's family, while not in West Virginia, faced similar struggles. She had six sisters and five brothers, and as one of the youngest she rarely received anything new. Shoes, clothes, toys, all patched/repaired to be passed down. She had to drop out of high school at age 14 to care for her father and younger sibs (3) as her father had a major stroke and her mother had to go to work to earn money to feed the family. She finally got her G.E.D. at age 42 and passed away last year at the young age of 79.

Listen to "Sara Smile" by Hall and Oates

Freddie Mercury and E Luciano Pavarotti song Nessun Dorma

Home Free's cover of this John Denver classic is absolutely incredible. Hopefully you will react to it as well.

Please do a reaction of Geoff Castellucci's cover of Country Roads. You won't be disappointed.

Hi what part of WV was he from. I live in wv

So poeticalisticalistic! I mean "Take me home, Ohio" is nowhere nearly so poeticalisticalistic. Speaking of luxury living, we used to get to walk 40 miles through acid-sleet, naked, on our hands, without gloves, just to get to school, seven days a week. Uphill both ways!! And this is North Carolina: Where people from West Virginia now live. BTW...y'all are so funny at the end there. And I was thinking the same thing, right from the gitgo. The child hath become the parent. Lemme guess. Sagittarius/Taurus?

Check out Aspen Glow!

Taken way too soon. RIP
