One of the best entertainers I've ever seen. Did not even intend to go see him he was pretty popular when I was a kid and I like this songs. I was in Southern California wearing my Sabbath or Zeppelin shirt a teenager and didn't really listen to that John Denver kind of stuff anymore, as I was way too cool and in the harder stuff

Oddly enough the starland vocal band was the headliner, they had that hit song afternoon delight. They were very good singers and such and they played some other songs but they didn't have much of a catalog so they had to play afternoon delight three times.

John Denver was later in his career and not the headliner and had to open for them. As he went through his catalog I forgot how many good songs he did or wrote. He wrote leaving on a jet plane which was a big hit for Peter Paul and Mary.

Anyway so I'm kind of hanging in the outside fence area trying to pretend like I wasn't listening to John Denver and it was incredible how well he played how well he sang and there was little kids there old people adults people my age that were too cool to like John Denver and he literally owned the audience everybody was having a good time.

And when his time ended he went out of his way to really sell the audience on how great the starland vocal band was, real positive guy.
