Format:DVD
The content of the DVD was good, it reviewed songs and had some interview material in which John explained about the songs; such a lovely guy! I was disappointed with the picture quality however - it doesn't seem to have been 'digitally re-mastered' or whatever the terminology would be to upgrade the grainy / fuzzy old video quality to what we're used to with a DVD. Also at the end of the DVD it kept sticking, then jumping - which was a shame and spoiled it.Maybe I had a duff DVD???

One fantastic, far out video!!
26 Mar 1999
If you are a true John Denver fan, This is the video you want to have in your collection. John goes on in the video to tell about his life and how many of his songs were developed from being in nature. From the Colorodo mountains he loved to the last Frontier of Alaska, you travel with John and his kids and friends to discover what this man really believed in.

John Denver: A Portrait
7 Jan 2000
John Denver has always been honest and sincere and it comes through in this video. It is wonderful to listen to how the songs were created. He has always been a wonderful story teller. I wish he was here to tell us more. "Though the singer is silent there still is the truth of the song"

A pleasant surprize: documentary style, but some good stuff.
15 Feb 1999
Format:DVD
I was surprized by the documentary style presentation of this video, but really like most of the songs and their accompanying video. I appreciated the lyrics much more after hearing of how they came about, especially Rocky Mountain High, Calypso, and the "uncle named Matthew". The background, music and video of "Don't Close Your Eyes Tonight" is pretty sensual for a country boy. A couple of the more policitally based songs I'd never heard before, but they were tolerable. Also, seeing John as a young newcomer with that wonderfully clear voice was great! I'd forgotten how "rocky-mountain high" his vocal range really is. Denver fans will enjoy this one - and it will tug at your heartstrings to see him bearded, surrounded by his favorite meadows and mountains, and talking directly to you as if over a cup of Starbucks. We'll miss him.
