John Denver - Rocky Mountain High (Live at Farm Aid 1990)

[@namiheiisono3680]

John had his troubles we all do but in his heart he was one with nature, it gave him the serenity he needed!!!!

[@ifkncantbelieveit]

He wrote it , played it, and sang the heck out of it, rip

[@killakode1]

I bet everyone backstage was mesmerized. I know I am when he starts singing.

[@sixtoomanycats9769]

John Denver doesn't just sing music, he IS music. ❤️

[@Somedude48]

Love his songs! Thanks to the Internet, you can listen to songs written long before your birth on the other side of the Earth, and admire talented artists like him!

[@jamesunger8433]

The pure honest performer of the 20th century. God bless you John Denver. 🙏🙏🙏

[@northernreflections4653]

So blessed that I grew up listening to this man on the radio. I don’t think I understood how much his music and lyrics touched my heart and helped calm a troubled a mind.

[@jonjopowers3866]

I was in the Hoosierdome for this event. Guns n' Roses came on and cranked up the crowd so much that when Lyle Lovett followed with just himself and a cellist, they were still pretty rambunctious. But then, John came on, all alone, and quickly had the crowd singing along and eating out of his hand. Great work!

[@Starlight_Silver]

No kidding? lol, that's a cool story, thanks for sharing it. I would have never imagined GnR being at Farm Aid, lol.

[@cailanmurray4430]

[@JoeLink56]

Holy shit…I’m even more impressed with this vid!! I’m glad I went to the comments! Thanks for sharing!!!

I also attended this Farm Aid in Indianapolis with my wife. Guns and Roses, Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young. Elton John was an unannounced special guest. Such a good day.

Gives me the chills! What a huge loss for all of us!

[@williamc.1198]

Our youngest son moved to Durango, Colorado some 20 years ago. After a few years we visited him. since then we've visited several other places in Colorado. It is such a magical, neat place! We knew why he moved up there the first time we saw saw the mountains, streams and crystal sky. John Denver captured the essence of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. Such a talented man and so sad he is gone way too soon!

[@juliekramer7287]

I am so thankful for John Denver & the music he made, left for all of us!!

[@TheLandlordAdvocates]

John Denver. My favorite musician!!!

[@susanpowers2718]

He was just awesome....no one else like him then or now!!!!

[@sarapinsky315]

Just John and his guitar-nothing like it!

[@randydavis8020]

I was thinking the same thing, just him in a spotlight.

[@smallmouthkayakingfishing2325]

music like this, lasts 4ever.

[@5723maddy]

I saw John in concert and LOVED every minute of it. RIP John

[@robyngibson1710]

John Denver was my first love when I was about 8 or 9. I listen to his music all the time. RIP

[@Cookie64]

Perfect, just perfect ... gives me goosebumps ... great song, great singer ...

[@vha3742171]

Miss him

[@darrinthorpe9292]

even after all these years later, it still seems impossible that he's gone. I'm crying right now watching him sing. rip John.

[@teresanewman4656]

John Denver simply the best

[@larrysturm4831]

JD was a national treasure

[@jayvervalen1905]

The entire line up at Farm Aid 1 was magic.. a variety and they all fit the bill. I was five when this started out. This was 1990 but I bet in 85 it would fit in as well.

[@lisaknaggs1088]

STUNNING!!!!!

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

AWESOME SET ! THANK YOU !!!

[@donalddodds8335]

Boggles my mind that this beautiful masterpiece got banned from airplay in some places because a few idiots misinterpreted the lyrics to be about drugs

[@GoldenRoseRecords]

It is about drugs but it’s very discrete

[@focusintegrity8490]

Beautiful - makes me see those Rockies!!

[@nancyhattonlane7034]

l mainly came to see John Denver. but to see Elton John and to sing that song for Ryan White was so sweet

[@cherylfarrell1274]

I love and miss you "John"!!

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH IS CALLING MY NAME ALL THE WAY IN OHIO.

[@cswalker21]

Did you ever get here?

[@AndrewChan84]

It's not just about nature.

[@jaspernewcomb5656]

If God has a nature it is nature the invisible hand that guides all Creation. People forget who they are and where they came from and who breathed life into their nostrils in the beginning. They tend to get so caught up in their own doubt and insecurity they cant see the forest for the trees. The world we live in is made by men not our Creator and we are our own worst enemy.....

I love this performance. Can anyone tell me who is introducing John? He looks so familiar but I can't place him.

My favorite song by John but seems a little rushed

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

did john get high ?

[@catmom1322]

Yes. In fact, the lyrics of one song is "me & my old lady sitting & passing the pipe around..."

[@mfelliott87]

He was high on Colorado Rocky Mountain high..it has more than one meaning. It's a double entendre.

[@mfelliott87]

We learned this in 1990 in music class

[@lianecornils8733]
