Self-professed "singer of the American West" John Denver shines in this heartfelt, 1995 live concert to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. Favorite songs such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Wild Montana Skies," and "Fly Away" are moving and gain fresh perspective from brief comments by Denver. Lesser-known songs like "Eagles and Horses" and "You Say the Battle Is Over" celebrate the spirit of animals and nature while underlining the importance of preservation. Succinct interview clips express Denver's commitment to nature: exploring man's basic hunger for the wild, the dichotomy between the uncultivated and the city, and the power of the individual to effect preservation and change. Striking though brief footage of wild animals like horses, eagles, penguins, and elephants in their natural habitats serve as bookends to the presentation. The Wildlife Concert is a reflective and moving musical celebration of the American West. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

John Denver was the best!
I started listening to John Denver while still in high school, and I saw him perform in a live concert while in college...what a great talent he was. My wife and I fell in love listening to his songs in the early 70's. One of the most memorable concerts we saw was a live performance at Robert Redford's Sundance Resort in Utah. The concert was outside under the stars in the Rocky Mountains. I love this DVD, John is so expressive when he sings in this concert....We are all very fortunate to have had his talent, his global perspective and most of all we are so lucky to have him live on in performances like the Wildlife Concert. He was the best.

John Denver "the greatest singer in my lifetime"
I was lucky enough to see John in concert five times. They are some of the best memories of my seventy years of life. He was a remarkable person. At least once a day I still play a cd or two just to hear his voice. My favorite song that he sings is " For You " How I wish someone would like to make that a single for air play. Imagine having that sung at a wedding. Yes I am just an old softie at heart just as he was. No one could ever replace him. Keep in mind that great music never dies and he will continue on in my heart forever. Jessie Plyler

JohnDenver wildlife concert
I didn't know there was going to be several interviews with John talking about his wildlife dreams and beliefs when i purchased the DVD but the songs are great and the sound is pretty good. Most of his well known songs are performed which I was happy about.
