Denver sings rocky mountain high and other favorites in this acclaimed benefit performance. Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 09/10/2002 Starring: John Denver Run time: 120 minutes Rating: Nr
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

Classic Denver... a fan must have:
John Denver's voice rings true and you can experience a "Rocky Mountain High" once again with this concert DVD. John's music stands the test of time. His devotion to the environment and wildlife causes remains as pertinent as ever. He is a American folk hero in is own right.
The sound and video production is very well done and having Denver talking about his songs and causes are a wonderful addition. Denver fans will be delighted. Buy this DVD!
Best live recording!:
This is the best quality live audio you are going to find from JD. When I watch it I am reminded of what real talent and music is. I miss John Denver.
My two year old son loves this, it is the only DVD we let him watch:
I grew up listening to John Denver LP's and I am happy to say that my son is transfixed by the Wildlife Concert. The audio quality is so wonderful and John Denver is wonderful. My only criticism of the performance is the annoying female singer who flails her arms around and just seems out of sinc with everyone else. But I suppose John liked her. Anyway, this is a DVD all John Denver fans young and old will love!
Excellent Concert:
This is one of the finest concert of all time. I'm a huge John Denver fan since I was a kid. I love playing my guitar with John's greatest hits. I was thrilled with this concert including its recorded footages that really promotes wildlife conservation and environment protection. A must for all JD fans. Thanks to Amazon and more power!
