John Denver, Newcastle Concert, Australia 1994

This was the final concert that John Denver performed in Australia. It was recorded for release on 12" Video disc with the B side being a Karaoke version minus John's vocals.
I mixed this concert, which was recorded on 3 x Sony PCM-800 Digital Audio Recorders linked together as a 24 track, in the audio facilities at ABC TV, Gore Hill, Sydney, Australia on 22nd December 1994.
John came in to the studio a week earlier and recorded two short overdubs, one vocal and one guitar as replacement tracks for two songs but the rest of the sound is mixed from the 24 tracks as recorded on the night.
I'm posting this as an example of my work as an audio engineer and I'm credited as 'Post Production Engineer'
Apologies for the Adverts now appearing on this video, this is not my doing and I don't seem to have any control over the fact that they are now being inserted.
A Brazilian subsidiary of BMG has claimed copyright on one of John's songs and, even though they had absolutely nothing to do with this production, KZbin are allowing them to put adds on it.

We were lucky to see him in a small concert with less than a thousand people and he played like he was performing in front of 10,000 . He died a year later . The air was magical that night and i couldnt beieve what a talent he was. RIP And thank you for years of good feelings and the healing of broken hearts

I saw John Denver in concert 8 times, beginning at Whitworth College in Spokane in 1970 or 71. My sister and I were the first to arrive at Cowles Memorial Auditorium. It was open seating, so we sat down front and center. This man came out to check the sound, asked us how it sounded, spoke with us for a few moments, and went backstage. We didn't know it was John Denver because we'd never seen him, just listened to Country Roads and other early songs. Ever wonder why no one else sings John's songs? Because they can't. He's an enigma, total blessing to mankind. His songs are as fresh and relevant today as they ever were.

[@peterjones4621]

Loved John and his music since the early 70's, his song Sunshine on my Shoulders was our song, Sue and I, I lost her to another and it breaks my heart everytime I hear it. John in my opinion is the greatest male singer I've ever heard, he can stand up there and effortlessly and sing song after song in perfect pitch, hardly a break in between, his vocals are amazing, his ability to sustain notes for long periods of time are unsurpassed. John is a natural singer, sure I've heard hundreds of great singers but none compare to John's amazing talent. When I heard he'd been killed in a small plane accident I was taken to my knees, a talent like his can never be duplicated and especially his ability to write hit song after hit song, he was brilliant. Rest well John, you are loved by billions, God has you in his care now. ❤

[@TahoeSnowbird]

The first time I heard Annie's song, we were in my sister's car in July 1974, stopping in San Francisco on the way to Texas from Hawaii. I thought it was a perfect love song. It expressed how I felt about my husband. We've been married just 4 years. I still feel that way about him after all these years. Sadly for me, God called him home last October. Now I listen to For You and cry. I hope my husband is listening to John singing For You in Heaven and I know his heart would be filled with longing as mine is here on earth. John Denver touched hearts with his songs and voice. He was a treasure. RIP John.

[@awriter4theman]

I have been to at least six of his concerts. Packed crowds each and every time. He never let down his crowd. Sang for 2 hours or more each time. My very last one was in Snow Valley California in the mountains. It was open seating. Got lucky enough to be right next to the stage and to actually see him up close. That was July 13, 1990. I will always treasure that concert forever. He was a brilliant song writer and singer and I still grieve over his loss. Always will.

[@jimmyrecce8787]

The world just don't seem the same without John...I often wonder what he would think of the world now....his spirit surely lives on in his music and for me it has been a comfort since I was very young...I had a little cassette player that I would play his tapes over and over for hours learning the lyrics to his songs...and then at the tender age of 11 I was given a Sears and Roebuck 3/4 size guitar....I would spend hours hold up in my bedroom learning the chords to his songs....at 60 years old I continue to hone my playing and singing his wonderful music....we all sure miss you John...❤️❤️❤️

[@briangilgosch1908]

I would love to do the same...he has had such a positive influence on my life...miss you John! Vin, where exactly is his gravesite?! Thanks!

[@paulineh4019]

There is no graveside, John was cremated and his ashes spread over his beloved Rocky Mtns. There is the JD Sanctuary in Aspen though.

[@deancooling3480]

@@briangilgosch1908 I believe there is a site that people can visit in the Rockies somewhere to honour and remember John. My sister went there - we are from Australia...

[@FelipeElLocito]

I was born the same year, same country and loved his music which eventually brought me to move to the U.S.. Come visit! The U.S. is not all guns and violence LOL

I so miss John Denver. God bless your soul. I hope to see you in heaven one day.

[@isabellagumbys7525]

What a sensitive talented SOUL JOHN WAS.. SO SADLY MISSED ..Thank you John. For all the memories in Your SONGS..💗💗💗

[@644delsol9]

John Denver's music has always brought out a feeling of love and family i wish he was still here on this Earth. I wonder what kind of loving music he would compose today?

[@Carousel3762]

Sat close to the stage in Brisbane back then I just shut my eyes and it is still like being there that night

Hello 👋 Pauline. How are you doing ? Hope are you fine. I'm Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from. You seem like a real country girl

[@marthalinagregory7379]

John Denver was a special man, singing from his heart. Thank you for sharing

[@deborahcampbell-esquiv3668]

He was definitly .one of greats.

[@comminsensevids9850]

Thank you for this. The sound work is ahead of its time and truely shows the amazing voice and range John was able to capture. I'm thankful to have met him and been apart of his audience on several occasions.

[@lioneladams2442]

Still playing and teaching John Denver songs to this day....🎸🎶

[@bonnieduthe9848]

Me too

[@tamihegr6115]

John Denver: I know as a teenager I couldn't have come through those years without his message and song.

[@johanvanzyl8479]

Absolutely all time underrated voice. Add competent on the guitar and prolifict composer

[@Designeritemsbyheartloveart123]

Happy Birthday John Denver - "we still think you are a great singer God bless you"

[@ezechiele2012]

thank you! Wonderful music, wonderful singer.

[@ed1925chevy]

As I get ready to pack for our trip to our cabin in CO, I felt it was appropriate to listen to John this morning. My wife walked through and says, “You’re watching that, again”? My reply, “Well, yes” After 55+ years of listening to him, I still feel a calming effect from his music!

[@108things8]

Thank You John, my first concert age 6, and moved from NY to Colorado at age 24. Rocky Mountain High is real. My first Love. My second the Colorado Land. xo

[@marye.wolfson969]

One of my favorite artists! I saw him in concert 3 times and my husband and I danced to "Annie's Song" at our wedding. I could listen to John all day; he makes me smile and he makes me cry. Gone too soon - I still miss your voice!

[@nancymoorehead7746]

My wedding song too and saw him in concert 3 times also

[@arthurshacklock]

Yes JD was one of the greatest ever. My wife Kate and I saw him in concert five times: Sydney Opera House (22 Nov 1977), Calgary Canada (2 Sep 1980), Hong Kong (30 May 1983), Perth twice (12 June 1988) and (1 Dec 1994). In Perth I wrote to the promoters about how important his music was in our lives. He actually read my letter (he even recalled our names !) and we were invited backstage in 1980 and again 1994. Both times we had a drink with him and a long chat. He was a lovely down-to-earth man. Regrettably many people only know his early country songs, not his far better work later in his life. Happily I sing his songs in my own concerts nowadays. A great loss to all lovers of beautiful music and meaningful songs. RIP JD xx Shack & Kate

[@odettehokemeir4425]

You were Blessed

[@SMART73ER]

My goodness, shows all over the world!! How wonderful for both of you.

[@arthurshacklock]

PS: This Newcastle NSW Australia concert was on 5 November 1994. We were at his last one ever in Australia, Perth 1 December 1994. We took our whole family (the two of us and our three kids) to Monterey Bay, California in 1998 (a year after his death) and threw flowers into the ocean in his memory. RIP John Denver.
