Live in the USSR features John performing solo and holding his audiences spell-bound as only he and few others could do. He was without doubt one of the greatest live performers ever. Here he holds his audience by the power of his voice, his guitar and his performance. Check out the video as he performs his classic "It's About Time."

John Denver was needed and still is needed more than ever. Why do the best always seem to die too soon?

@user-ug8xs9jo1h 2 жыл бұрын

Четыре месяца назад умер Градский, который с ним пел. Сейчас и вовсе нельзя представить, что то фантастическое время было. Мы умудрились потерять и растратить всё. Мы виноваты. Идёт страшная тупая война. Мир, мир, нам нужен мир...

this is a powerful message that speaks during this time of chaos, lack of leadership and moral guidance. This is one world. We need to work together to right the wrongs and stop racism, hate,discrimination, to deal with climate change, to deal with the economic disparity that exists throughout the world. ITS ABOUT TIME... NOW... TODAY!!!!!!

Did you hear the song he recorded with Alexander Gradsky? What Are We Making Weapons For? It is a beautiful song, especially with Alexander Gradsky. I think they recorded It in '85 but I might be wrong about that. I first heard it on John Denver's Christmas special in '88.

This is one of my favorites also. Even more so now because I have had the privilege of seeing many of the places and sites pictured. If you haven't heard it check out the song he recorded with Alexander Gradsky. It is called "What Are We Making Weapons For?". Alexander Gradsky was the most popular singer/songwriter in Russia at the time. The backstory on how it came to be is great and John Denver talks about it on his "Live at Cedar Rapids". I am not positive but I believe the gentleman playing the guitar at the 2:10 mark is Alexander Gradsky.

Hi mates, I think the wintry weather with the snow was the first tour starting Nov 26 1984. Then didn't he go back and do the USSR cd, that was June 85, the good weather. Not sure how many more times he went to Russia, except there was a short tour in 95, 4 concerts in Moscow and Leningrad.

It is a straight G - C - D with Am and Em in the bridge. Don't learn to play by SIGHT - learn to play by sound!!! Experiment until you find what sounds right - after a while - you'll know the chords before you pick up your guitar!!!!!!!!!

@Earthlinked 15 жыл бұрын

You will find that about 90% of all the songs ever written are simple G-C-D chords - originated by Johann Pachelbel in the 1680's for "Canon in D" the only canon he ever wrote!!! (a canon is a leader/follower type of music - like "Row, row, row your boat"!!!) Of course there are exceptions like "Rocky Mountain High". But most - (Sunshine On My Shoulders, Let It Be, Bridge Over Troubled Waters) are simple canons!!!!! Through trial and error - maybe you'll write the next great hit! It happens!
