Unique (2006-01-31)

This DVD contains a wealth of information.

To hear John Denver talking about his songs , the events that inspired him , the frustrations he had and the joy he gained from developing the songs was such a pleasure. There are five or so other people that talk about John and his music including long terms band members , his manager and music producer. They reveal gems of information that only these people with the intimate knowledge they had through their relationship with Jonn can reveal.None more so than his ex-wife Annie Denver. When you listen to her and watch her speak with such feeling you begin to understand what the song was all about.

The songs are played (with great visuals) as the they are discussed and then you are left for a short while to listen to and watch the song on its own.

The development of John Denver both musically and in appearance from the geeky 1974 look to the allmost macho look in 1994 is , in itself quite revealing.

I have listened to the DVD over and over again and every time I learn something new. My only regret is that there is not more.

If you are interested in John Denver , his music or song lyrics in general - get this DVD
