This a rare find; I didn’t know John recorded The Weight. I love his range; just a bit higher than his average, it speaks for itself. Sad news about losing Robbie Robertson, he was an amazing singer/songwriter as well
My first and most favorite concert - John Denver 4/25/1976. Market Square Arena, Indianapolis, In. - my Dad loaded up the motor home, and drove a bunch of us downtown for the show. Thanks for the memories John. Miss you Buddy. 🕊
His commitment to nature and the environment. His ability to write songs that capture both the vitality of nature, and the situations that humans find themselves in. His clear and distinctive voice, both in speech and in song. And much more.
I'm writing the script for my next John Denver video. I'm going through his albums in chronological order. Next up is 1975 and "An Evening with John Denver." Posting in a few days. Here's a link to the first one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSZbbXQ_RBU.html
Love this! Have never heard John’s version of this song! What a Blessing to hear John sing this! Thank you so much for putting it here for us to enjoy. I miss you, John! The World misses you!❤
@marcosbryant27 Another hard choice. Of course everyone lives Country Roads but Eagle and the Hawk make me feel like I can fly too 😃. And TG I’m A Country Boy is just plain fun even though I’m a city girl. Then there’s also just the imagery of SoMS. And Follow Me! Idk, depends on my mood too!
Great version, and tribute !! Didn't know John Denver ever did Covers..😂 🙏💖 RI✌️ to both John and now Robbie.. both of mind of respecting and rejoicing in the beauty of people, and nature
There are many cover songs that JD recorded that I like better than the originals - his voice is awesome and his interpretations are amazing. He's truly missed.
Nice tribute to Mr. Robertson, thank you. Mr. Denver was so incredibly talented as well. I saw JD once solo, no backup or band, just a 12-string guitar.
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and, and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown." She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around." Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and, and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say It's just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?" Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and, and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog He said, "I will fix your rack if you take Jack, my dog." I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's OK, boy, won't you feed him when you can?" Yeah, take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and, and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and, and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
You can't take a classic like that and try to reproduce it without all your ducks in a row. How about the high school choir to do your third 3/5th and 7th accompaniment that song needs it that is the essence of the song is the harmony
I was fortunate to be friends with John at Texas Tech. He lived next door in the dorm, and I spent a lot of nights listening to him playing his guitar. We would go on 'double-dates' with me driving, 'cause he had his leg in a cast (he had lost a couple of toes the previous summer while working in a logging camp). John was a generous soul with immense talent. Miss him.
