Title: A Song’s Best Friend: A Bittersweet DVD of John Denver’s Life
Review: In many ways, this film is difficult to watch. The film clips of the early 70s brought me back to my undergrad days at university, hearing John Denver on the radio and seeing him in concert.John Denver was born Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr and then later changed his name to the more easy-going and easily-pronounced name: John Denver.This film deftly stitched together John’s life with the helping hands of those closest to him: his first wife, Annie Martell Deutschendorf, his brother Ron, his manager, his producer, and Bill and Taffy Danoff, to name a few.The most poignant part of the film came from Annie, a practicing psychologist in Aspen who, after having suffered numerous affairs from John while he was on the road, while she was staying home with their children, understandably divorced John. In hindsight, Annie has gained much wisdom and said that their marriage could have been saved if they had both been more mature. She says that neither of them could deal with John’s fame very well. John did not realize what a gem Annie was, but later, after he had matured, he did.His brother, Ron, also was very honest about growing up with John and describing John’s taking off and going to California and their dad flying someone’s jet to get him, and bring him back home. They first took a detour to Disneyland before going home! Ron fought in the Vietnam War, while John was a peace activist. This was jarring; John was against what Ron had been drafted to do.In this film, watching the narrow band of John’s work from the early to mid-70s, was heart-warming, because I feel that this work was his best.Because of this wonderful DVD, John will always be with us.

Title: Loved it on PBS
Review: I love this DVD because it is a real tribute to the great John Denver with interviews with people who knew him well. The sight of the stones with the words of his songs carved on them was wonderful. Now that I have the DVD instead of the copy from the PBS special I see how much his voice changed over the years. The l995 Wildlife concert shows him looking older but his voice so much richer. And, on this Remembered DVD it is evident as some of the songs are from the early days and some from later at the end of his career and life. When I saw him in concert in the mid 70s I thought he was wonderful but I wish I'd seen one of the later concerts when he had matured so much. What a great talent. A genius in my estimation. Long to be remembered. All John Denver fans should have this in their collection.

Title: Wow!!! Note . . . this is NOT the same as the PBS Special on John Denver
Review: I have watched both documentaries (PBS and this one). This one is older than the PBS special, and the screen size is smaller, BUT I love this one so much more!! This one had so many more stories and footage showing friends and family. It even had his grandmother who explained how she gave him his first guitar. My favorite parts are always with Annie sharing. It is obvious she loved him and still does, and he loved her too, even after they divorced. There is too much to say, but I would just encourage you, if you are a John Denver fan, to watch this documentary. You will not be sorry you did!

Title: A Must for John Denver's Fans Out There!!
Review: Experience the candid interview and sing along to his most popular songs in this collector's dvd. A Song's Best Friend brings back so many sweet memories from years gone by... it opens the door for your heart to enjoy and appreciate John Denver at his very best... it makes you want to tap your feet to his unique blend of folk songs and get cozy up with your sweetie at the same time. The bonus features are particularly special as it captures the long lost footage of John's concerts. The true essence of John's songs is beautifully reflected in "Annie's Song", "This Old Guitar", "Rocky Mountain High", etc. "Sunshine On My Shoulders" captures his deep passion for the outdoors/wilderness and its ongoing conservation. This DVD will take you back where life is a whole lot simpler and songs are meant to be enjoyed and treasured. If you are raised on John Denver's songs, this one is truly for you.John Denver's Fan, East Syracuse, New York

Title: It's Fine - One Among Several Offerings
Review: As one with musical aspirations myself, I loved John's music all through the '70s and '80s. He was a true musical prodigy and he loved life and nature. Anyone who appreciates this would likely enjoy this DVD. I just wish there was a more in depth treatment of his life & times available.Nice revisit of his important performances... and the interviews were okay. But still not exactly what I wanted, which would be an accurate and complete chronological biography of his life. Of course this doesn't really exist in video form. The TV movie (2000) was sadly rather apocryphal, just to say the least. (As a minimum, I'm surprised that the Bio Channel hasn't produced one yet.)Bottom line: I will probably pick up a copy of his autobiography,

Title: Important biographical DVD.
Review: This is an excellent biographical review by some of the most important people in John Denver's life. Includes Denver songs that reflect special relevance in his life as a singer/songwriter. Also includes bonus live performances and a gallery of photos. I really enjoyed this DVD and look forward to many replays. I heartily recommend this look at one of the most prolific and important artists in modern musical history.

Review: 　これはｼﾞｮﾝの軌跡を彼に馴染みある人達が、彼の代表曲と共に当時の事や曲について偲ぶｺﾒﾝﾄをする構成になってます。眼鏡をはずす前のｼﾞｮﾝの姿は他のDVDなどでもあまり観られないのですが、これはふんだんに眼鏡を掛けていた当時の映像（ｺﾝｻｰﾄ風景、TVなど）が使われています。　個人的にはｱﾑｽﾃﾙﾀﾞﾑを歌うｼｰﾝ(ﾁｮｯﾄ）やｶﾝﾄﾘｰﾛｰﾄﾞをﾀﾞﾉﾌ夫妻と一緒に歌っているｼｰﾝ（3人共若い！）が良かったかな？　それとｼﾞｮﾝが音楽の道に進むｷｯｶｹを創った（ｷﾞﾀｰをあげた）あの本物のお祖母ちゃんが出てきたｼｰﾝはﾋﾞｯｸﾘ。少しだけどﾌｫﾄｷﾞｬﾗﾘー、他に4曲のﾗｲﾌﾞ映像などもあります。日本語の字幕付きだしPS2でも再生できるしこの値段でこの内容ならｼﾞｮﾝのﾌｧﾝ歴が長い人なら絶対の買い！です。　あ〜あ、ｼﾞｮﾝの70年代に出ていたTVｼｮー(ﾜﾝﾏﾝｼｮｰ）DVDにならないかなぁ〜。
