Denver in Birmingham - John Denver: Country Roads: Live in England 1986 review by AW
I watched a disc of Denver Live in Japan recently; it was a full programme of his tip top greatest hits; wonderful to sing along with, don't remember it's date.
Here we have John in Birmingham in '86, being simultaneously recorded by the BBC, at the full height of his career but playing a much more varied programme, including new songs from his 24th (yep, 24th) album, a number of which I had never heard before but so distinctly Denver style. Always a delight to hear any programme by this guy, he was a consummate singer/ songwriter; sadly no longer with us. He's got 3 backing singers, numerous brass instrumentalists and an orchestra. So far so good - but sadly JDs voice was having a really off day. He's normally so distinctive and energetic with a lovely smooth voice even up to almost yodelling - unfortunately here he blew a lot of notes. Maybe he had a sore throat or something but sadly once you notice that and replay the disc you simply can't help picking up on it every time. Oh well, it's not bad, just it's not...good. Any repertoire of his playing in the background is fun; I'm not put off totally, I'll probably go and watch some of his other concerts when he's having a better voice day.
