I had know idea what to expect and was delighted with the evening. This was a Christmas present for my mom, a huge JD fan and I'm a big fan myself so this was a no-brainer. The band was amazing, it was so fun to see them live playing and on the screen playing the same thing from years ago. John's voice was so clear, it was like he was live too. I could not have asked for a better evening. A must see for any John Denver fan!

still had a special spot in their heart for John.

I started crying the moment John's voice came over the speakers.... What an amazing man and incredible talent.I knew i would LOVE being at this once in a lifetime concert, but I had no idea it would bring such emotion and tears and peace and joy .. It truly ranks as THE most awesome thing (after Childbirth) that I have ever experienced. I am so grateful to have been able to have been with such talented musicians and friends of Johns, That his estate supported and shared so much footage.. and That they really let him be the lead voice thru out the whole concert and they were back up, as it was.. when they had performed together. Best night of my life!!!! ♥Jim Salestrom, Chris Nole, Jim Horn, Alan Deremo and Nate Barnes -awesome musicians!!! I never heard John play when he was alive, But His music , His legacy, His love for this land and people have touched me , so much.. That I even named my Daughter after him, She is almost 3 yrs old.(Denver Ray). His music, has been with me, thru heartache, heart break,love, weddings.. all of lifes ebbs and flows. This truly was the GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE and a dream for me. You all did an excellent job... and the theater is just an amazing Historical Beauty, What an intimate place to just bask in John's voice!!!! THANK YOU ps, I flew from Nashville, TN for this show, It meant that much to me to be able to be there

My almost 5 yr old is a fan of JD-obsessed. The show was great, from the videos and songs to the band as they honored their friend. This was the most relaxed and yet joyous evening I have spent with my daughter who was in pure awe of the night. Magical indeed. A HUGE thank you to the family for allowing this to happen!!!

We remember going to JD concerts back in the '70s - far out - and still enjoy his music at home. When this concert was announced we jumped at the chance to revisit those times past. Very fun seeing 4 of his old band members on stage - seeing JD's video footage along with the live music on stage was a great combination.

The additional wait (five days, due to a cancellation due to snow) was well worth it. The quality of the performance, plus their congenial stage presence, brought back a flood of wonderful memories of John Denver's many appearances in the Philadelphia area. The quality (and obvious friendship) shared by the musicians also reminded one of the professionalism and quality of JD performances over several decades.

It was great to see the warmth and recognition directed to Jim Horn, whose friendship and collaboration with John dated back the furthest (mid-1970s?). His portfolio and collaboration with so many "giants" in the music industry is amazing.

I wasn't sure how the combination of the live musicians and archival JD video footage would work, but it did - and truthfully, it made one long for those wonderful, intimate concerts he staged (even his performances "in the round" at the old Spectrum could be classified as intimate).

We can all hope that his music - and spirit - will stand the test of time.

My hubby and I really enjoyed the concert. It brought back many memories! We also enjoyed hearing more about John Denver's life and his band. John Denver will be my life time favorite! I'd go again and really enjoyed pictures of mountains and scenery. It would be neat if they did it again on a bigger screen with new pictures and clips of other things he did. I wil never tire of hearing or seeing anything about John Denver. I loved this concert and I hope they will do more. I wish I took my kids to see this. Thank you!

The show at Star Plaza was very well done. The sound integration between the recorded screen and the live musicians was spot on, so much so that at points in the concert I closed my eyes and couldn't tell the difference one from the other. The live band and string section did an amazing job in accompaniment.

Growing up, I never got to go to a John Denver concert. And I always loved his songs. I call him "a Bard for the Land" and I can't think of any artist today who comes close to his style, his sound, or the issues he sang about. His passing left a hole in our musicscape that has yet to be filled. His songs are no longer played on the radio, at least where I live, so unless you are playing his music on your own personal devices you don't get to hear him anymore. This concert experience was wonderful! What a great idea to play along with his actual concert footage, allowing his voice & ideas to come back and reach across time and speak to us today in the original manner that he used to present himself! Interspersed with recollections & reminiscences from those who played & traveled with him & were his friends, this is a show well worth attending. I think John himself would be pleased at the show that was put on, and at the attendance levels more than a decade after his tragic passing. I feel he would be smiling down at the gathering of friends that this show brought together, both on and off stage. "Ain't it good to be back home again!" Our world needs someone like him to come back and inspire us to "Be all that we can be, not just what we are." We miss you John, and it was great to see you again! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in putting this show together & taking it on the road. It was wonderful!

I've been to many John Denver tribute concerts over the years . . . but this concert was a totally different experience for me. This concert didn't have a lead singer singing John's songs. Instead, they used film of John performing over the years in addition to selections of John reading his autobiography. The band members would interject stories of their experiences with John over the years, which is always appreciated by the audience. It was a very moving experience for me. Some of the songs seem to reach down deep, causing memories and emotions long forgotten, to surface. I was quite surprised by my response. I highly recommend this concert. It is an experience that you won't soon forget.

This is a new concept and I was somewhat unsure what it would be like but I love John Denver so I decided to take my mom. I really enjoyed the show and if you close your eyes you might even think John Denver was really there. It was definitely worth going to. I do have some constructive criticism. At times it seemed like there were some audio glitches, but they were minor and passed quickly. Maybe it was the venue and not your issue. I really enjoyed Jim Horn and his impressive ability and history with so many other groups. It was so neat to see the band members on stage in the video footage. The only thing that was somewhat weird was the low energy of most of the band members, with the exception of Jim Saelstrom. I don't know if it's because you can't play really vigorously along with the video/audio footage, but you guys barely seemed to move up there. It was nice to see each of you crack a smile every once in awhile and to hear each of you talk. Jim had a smile on his face the majority of the time, and without that, I think it would have been really awkward. It was nice when you sang along. Overall this was a worthwhile show and it was so great to hear those songs at that level in a concert format. I think my mom and I cried for at least 50% of the songs and it really took us back to moments in time.

I was so disappointed in the overall condition of the theater. And I felt that the advertising for the performance was miss leading. I expected to hear the group doing John Denver's songs not backing up a video. This is the first time I'm giving a bad review.

This concert was fantastic....loved it, loved it, loved it!!! I grew up as a teenager listening to John Denver. What a gifted song writer and musician he was. I never saw him live in concert, so I'm glad I got to see this show. The band was great. I'd see it again it a heartbeat!
They should go state wide with this show.
