On March 8, 2014, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" became an official state anthem for West Virginia.

I was there!!! LOVE HIM. Got to meet him in Feb 1997. Sweet man!!!!

I was there as a freshman! There is no comparable moment to this one at 17 years old and in college! The excitement was palpable absolutely incredible fun!

Honorary Mountaineer...❤❤. Thanks John AND Sen (Then WV Gov) Jay Rockefeller for getting John there that day.

This is some old school awesomeness looked like a great time to be a Mountaineer

I was standing right next to him - in the WVU band. It was awesome that they did such a great job singing. The speaker system provided a 15 second delay on feedback - it would have been tough to sing around! But they just leaned together and kept singing. Thanks for sharing!

I was a Senior in in the Fall of 1980. I will never forget how awesome it was to hear the State Police chopper putting down behind the stadium, and then hearing the announcer say, "Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. John Denver". The place just erupted with cheers! He sounded great, folks sang along, he waved to the crowd, then he walked off the field to thunderous applause, the chopper took off, and the next great chapter of WVU football had begun!

I was there! A day I'll never forget!

I was there that day, what an AWESOME time, Go Mountaineers!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for saving and sharing this rare clip of Mr. Denver! : )

The best state song in America by far

The start of a new era, WVU football as we now know it. RIP JD

La historia de como trajeron a Denver al estadio en medio una gira es espectacular.

I loved his songs and singing waaay back then! Beautiful man❤️

OMG! I was there! Long ago!

Yep, I was there that day.

Wow that stadium looked PACKED!

R.I.P. John Denver

I would love to see the whole song.

I was there! Doesn't anyone else remember how he had his back to the student section and the students tried to pelt him with beer cans??

John Denver

what wasn't there any color back then ? LOL where all the blue and gold :)

It is 2018

Did anyone hear John Denver say to the press that this song was really about "western Virginia"?

Funny he wasn't talking about west Virginia. He was talking about western Virginia and the Shenandoah valley.

It's up to four, he must of told their other 3 fans to dislike it too,

John Denver Born In 1943 And He Die On 1991

Who's the terrible woman screeching? Love JD but she should fall off the stage.
