Summary: DVD looks no better than video
Comment: Although I'm a fan of John Denver, I'm not overly fond of this item--it's just not that interesting. However, my chief complaint is picture quality. The excerpts of John's TV specials and music videos are okay, but the footage filmed for this project stinks. There's very little contrast, sharpness or detail, and the color looks like that of a badly-adjusted color TV: smeary, blotchy, and mostly just red-orange--especially flesh tones. There's also much video noise and some artifacts (dust and dirt). Quite frankly, the VHS edition looks the same, and I would bet money the manufacturer used the master for the videotape and simply transfered it to DVD--no adjustments, no going back to the negative do redo it (in fact, the transfer print looks like it is several generations removed from the negative). Home video has NEVER looked this bad! I'll never understand how Mr. Denver could have remotely approved this video, and it's a pitiful legacy for such a talented performer and songwriter.

Summary: John Denver: A Portrait
Comment: John Denver has always been honest and sincere and it comes through in this video. It is wonderful to listen to how the songs were created. He has always been a wonderful story teller. I wish he was here to tell us more. "Though the singer is silent there still is the truth of the song"
Customer Rating:
Summary: One fantastic, far out video!!
Comment: If you are a true John Denver fan, This is the video you want to have in your collection. John goes on in the video to tell about his life and how many of his songs were developed from being in nature. From the Colorodo mountains he loved to the last Frontier of Alaska, you travel with John and his kids and friends to discover what this man really believed in.

This unusually touching memoir, released in 1994, finds John Denver speaking directly to his longtime fans as well as fellow environmentalists, peace advocates, and die-hard romantics. Seated comfortably on a rustic fence or rock wall, his beloved Rocky Mountains in the background, the middle-aged Denver recalls highlights from his life and career: a youth spent in Oklahoma, Arizona, and Alabama before Colorado won his heart; the way a camping trip and the Perseids meteor shower led to composing "Rocky Mountain High"; his adventures with Jacques Cousteau while writing "Calypso." There's plenty of video accompaniment, including old performance footage, deep-sea imagery, documentary material on the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, and even custom-made music videos to dress up the sexy "Don't Close Your Eyes Tonight" and Jimmy Webb's haunting composition, "Postcards from Paris (Wish You Were Here)." Most of all, there's John Denver's striking if low-key humanity, his finest asset as an artist. --Tom Keogh
