Gone are the days when you had to really be slick to see something "not suitable for kids", your parents were actually together, they actually went out for the night and the thing you had to stay up to watch was 2 singers harmonizing. These days the youth can just hop on the phone and watch any vile act you can think of even if you only put in a typo.

I was down at the space center with my pregnant wife. She was tired so we went to buy a coke and sit down outside. I heard a guy singing outside. Went out and only one guy was rhere, John Denver. The shuttle was to land that afternoon and he was checking out the small area he would sing and play for them. He played for me my wife and 2 or 3 others. He talked with us for 15 to 20 min. He was a great guy, down to earth and had a killer good looking girlfriend. I never forget that. I dropped a few tears when he died.

What a horrible way to die! I grew up in the SF Bay Area. And it still troubles me..

Excellent review. You Sir are a great musical historian. I lived through the times in your reviews and you always do a fair and accurate analysis. I saw a video of John Denver once in practice and he told the singers and musicians to "breathe" with him...… he would sometimes drop out of rhythm and extend a note or even pause and he wanted them to be in unity, harmony with him. I think family members who sing together do this so well. Think of the Righteous Brothers etc.

My mother LOVED John Denver. We used to go back & forth between Arizona & Michigan and had to listen to JD all the way through Colorado! She actually ended up moving to CO permanently. Though she killed herself at age 37 in 1979, I like to think she was happier overall there than anywhere else. And I’m weirdly happy she wasn’t around to see John Denver die fairly young himself in such an unnecessary manner. Mama Cass, too, out at 32. (Hell, my son is now 32!) Maybe there’s something to “only the good die young.”

I really enjoy both Cass Elliot and John Denver - from all I have seen and read about them, both were truly kind people who loved to entertain. We all have our "demons" which others have unfortunately interpreted as character flaws, thus trying to soil a person's good name - but their goodness shines through. Thank you so very much Fil for analyzing these great people. You always do a respectful and insightful summary which shows all of us how wonderful a person you are.

What a powerful performance. A treasure for the ages. One of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's biggest crimes is not inducting this incredibly talented artist. Nothing but pure talent. Cass added the perfect harmony vocal and this is the stuff of legends; magic. One of Fil's best analysis because he understands how special these artists are and how stratospherically above the grand majority of stuff that passes for music these days.

Very impressing analyse Fil. Especial about cass Elliot. Didn,t knew all that. I remember her death in 1974, only 33 years old. I,m from the netherlands and not familiair with "The midnight special " shows. Looks amazing. The days when you could sit and listing to natural singers. No effects no flashing lights. Just pure and simple. Miss those days.

Another very interesting video. One thing I appreciate about Fil is ability to cover so much in a short time. And the fact that he is able to discuss sometimes negative or sad subjects without being in any way mean spirited or contentious, always having empathy. John Phillips didn’t treat her very well at least based on reports but he (Fil)doesn’t dwell on that too much or on her other struggles in a judgmental way. Yet he does paint a picture wherein we can see both the positive and the negative. It’s just a way he has that make so many people want to listen. I feel I know Cass Elliot better and her struggles and great success as well as sad passing at an early age. She was a truly great talent.
