    Wonderful JD memories revived

    by pmanet on 2/17/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    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.

    Rocky Mountain High Tribute was just beautiful.

    by Mustard57 on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    We didn't know what to expect at the concert but we were pleasantly surprised at how much we loved the show. The former members of John Denver's band shared some of their experiences with John which was very interesting. But their musical talent was outstanding.

    John Denver tribute concert was great!

    by Sandrakitty on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    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!

    Like JD was really there....

    by indycurmudgeon on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    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.

    Loved the John Denver concert experience!

    by Freryder on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    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!

    Incredible evening!

    by alaskanchild on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    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.

    Next best thing to seeing John Denver again

    by EmersonBo on 2/17/13Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville

    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.

    What a great job they did re-creating the brilliant life of John Denver. A wonderful night to share. There were times during the concert where I felt he was there. It must be amazing for the musicians to be on stage playing along with the voice of John Denver.

    Not happy

    by Anonymous on 2/16/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    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.

    This show was amazing! I felt like John was really there. Of course, since his spirit is in everything around us, he really was...I couldn't believe how, even though I hadn't really listened to his music in years, I remembered every word. Years ago, I was a huge fan and I wanted to see John in concert, but never did. I am so glad John's family and friends gave us this amazing opportunity! Congratulations to the band for putting on such a wonderful performance. If the show comes around again, you can be sure I'll be there!

    John Denver: A Rocky Mountain High Concert

    by Sleighbells on 2/15/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    Loved every minute of this show. The band was awesome, the videos made you feel that John was with us. I laughed, I cried, I sang and danced. Four friends/family were with us and they loved it also. I would highly recommend this show. Believe me, you will get "high."

    John Denver's eloquence shines once again!

    by Anonymous on 2/15/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    Fabulous night filled with reminiscing! It was so heart-warming to hear the band members who had played with John in the past speak about his life. And it was wonderful to hear John speak so eloquently once again. Thank you to his family for sharing their footage of John with all of us. The show was so very well done with excellent muscians (including the strings section). Thanks to all those involved for putting this together so we could hear the beautiful simple songs of John Denver in a concert setting.

    Not what we expected but still very nice

    by Jezzieo7 on 2/15/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    For some reason we thought that it was going to be the Holigraphic projection on stage only to find it was his band and a big screen in the back. A little dissappointing at first but when you see the home footage and the never before seen home videos it didnt really matter anymore. The sound was amazing if you closed your eyes it was like he was was there.It was defiantley a trip down memory lane for any John Denver fan. It was a tribute show.WOuld I see it again? Probably not. Would I recomend a friend to go see it? Yes I would. Any true Denver fan would not mind seeing the show at all. All in all it was a nice evening out.And it reminded me of how much I did miss John Denver.

    John Denver: A Rocky Mountain High Concert

    by CyclePilot on 2/15/13Keswick Theatre - Glenside

    An Amazing Experience. My wife and I both felt like we were at an actualy John Denver Concert. Unsure of what to expect we could not have been more pleased. The Keswyck Staff and the facility is the best. Absolutely Awesome, I give it "Five Stars"
