- This is a unique mix of the available elements of John Denver's last song, "Yellowstone (Coming Home)." The first verse was written and videotaped during a trip down the Colorado River, the second verse was completed later on the same trip and videotaped by a campfire; and the third and final verse was completed and recorded after the trip, as a demo at John's home. This video combines all of these elements to create a more complete version of the song. To smooth out some of the transitions, I altered the pitch of one segment, added a touch of equalization in some spots, and sprinkled in a little reverb and double-tracking in one or two areas. The goal was to create one cohesive performance, but it's hard to do with such different sounding tapes.
This is the perfect send off song for John Denver. He was in his element singing about the things he loved most once again, nature and all her glory. That section between 0:43 and 1:43 is just so bittersweet, sitting out in nature with his kids playing what would be his very last song around a campfire, he must have been elated and this being one of the last memory his kids would have of him, just wow...So surreal. R.I.P John, thanks for the music.
One day I will make the pilgrimage up the Colorado river just so I can take my guitar and walk up in that natural cave in the sun near the water and stand where John stood and sing this song with all the love in my heart I have for the great John Denver, you will be forever missed, but your songs will live on forever beautiful soul.
i thought this was all filmed at yellowstone park?
@@gimpyjwilliamsNope.
Colorado River
This man was DECADES ahead of his time.....what he stood for....what he believed in .....what he spent his life preaching about are only now being understood......his message of compassion.......kindness......love....and an understanding of the wilderness and natural world...WILL endure for many years to come .....thank you John for everything you did......may you be at peace.
Magnificent voice,heavenly soul,friend to the earth and all its inhabitants John Denver. He MUST NEVER EVER be forgotten .❤️🎼🦅🦌🐋🎸🏔️🕊️

John Denver was the most beautiful soul that ever happened to planet Earth. He was beautiful beautiful beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Love you and miss your beautiful voice John Denver. The earth needs you more than ever.
I still listen to the often and think of our beloved “Rocky Mountain Bard”.
I still feel deep grief at his missing voice. And deeper gratitude that we were gifted with so much music to sustain us.
He is missed. He will always be missed. He was so unique, gifted and talented. There was a tender kindness about him.
Thank You John Denver! Oh how we miss you!
God I miss this man. Ambassador to the wild. The wild within and the wild beyond.
I agree that this is THE BEST version & video of this song!! I love seeing him with his children, beautiful to see yet heartbreaking. I, too, get goosebumps every time I hear it as well as get a little choked up. And he's so beautiful...completely beautiful.
Yes, so do I. Isn't John wonderful with them too. The tenderness is magical.
The man the voice missed forever....x
Forever returning ...
Belonging for love...
Such A Big Loss
This is one of my favorite John Denver songs. It is poignantly beautiful. It is also very upsetting for many of us that there is no finished studio version of one of John's best songs in recent years. I have three versions uploaded on my iPod, the best was one my son doctored up for me. This is a nice attempt to try to piece together a song that deserved to be immortalized. Others try to sing it, but there is only one John Denver. Oh John, how I miss your perfect, heart-warming voice and your amazing energy in this world. Hope to hear you once again on the other side.
My prayer as well Katherine.
John and his kids were so Blessed together Thank you John for everything❤
All I have to say is thank you to John Denver
He was a good friend at Texas Tech; not the easiest time in his life. Miss him.
On the 25th anniversary of his passing, I am brought to this song and video. I am forever amazed how his lyrics and land ethic has influenced my life. I am grateful for his music and soul.
will always miss this talented individual never have I ever known such sincere individual that loved his world, and all that was on the mother earth. this song express his devotion to all living things, that GOD put here for us to appreciate. also including our fellow brothers here also. where have all the flowers gone. Mary travers will be missed, JOHN will be missed.
Wow just recently atarted listening to him again and glad I did.. His voice is so rich and organic. There is nothing better to listen to listen to an artist that pulls you in to a song and that song did just that..beautiful from begining to end.
If I found a magic lamp and had 3 wishes one of them would be to be around the campfire with J.D. and his family while he sang this song.
How bout just revived him and he can continued to sing for all of us
@@Camoroy0400 INDEED!
How about he never had the plane accident?
i would wish that he was back with us
One of my wishes would be that John Denver would show up to my wedding and would sing songs
This is a really nice compilation to get as close as we will ever get to what the song might have sounded like. I think that this was the best thing John had done over that final decade, and was going to mark a time of renewed productivity and a return to his musical homeland.
I do lament what might have been but love this song and am grateful for it...

I find this live version also very very beautiful
Well said.
Yes, I have to agree with you. A truly wonderful song.
I am so happy to hear this song, as I just saw the wolves from across Hayden Valley this summer in Yellowstone. John Denver has been one of my spirit guides that I asked for help while I was writing my National Parks Centennial Songs album. Yellowstone Wind was truly inspired by him, and his musical vibration, imprinted upon my soul as a young girl. Love you John Denver-thank you!
John Denver was a true bother friend to the earth 🌎
I still haven't found the sensibility of JD in any other singer
docholl93 I agree, I still have not for so much love in music, nature, and life as JD. The day he left us, that void still hasn't been filled.
Try Don McLean or Harry Chapin.
Both down to earth, loved the planet and those in it, and were spiritual. Good men all.
I soo love this song. Really hauntingly beautiful and so sad that it was John's last song. How we miss him soo. What a wonderful man he was too inside and out. The many wonderful causes that he supported, his amazing foresight and beauty. His wonderful songs will always live on as John will in our hearts too.
You did a great job! I dreamed I was singing this with John last night. So glad I found this.
had the pleasure of seeing him in concert twice back in the 80s always been my favorite
I got 9 chances to see John in concert. Met him twice and kissed him twice also on that beautiful face. He was so nice!
Sweet!
I thought if I ever met him that I would have given him a big hug to let him know how much he was loved.
I feel so bad that his children had to experience losing him at a young age.
I, too, lost my dad when I was 12. Still hurts, & I still really miss him more than 50 years later.
One of the best versions I've ever seen of this. Gave me goosebumps. I watched the PBS series Nature where he did this. I actually have a recorded tape of it. He is forever in my heart and soul.
I have a vhs tape as well and 2 working vcrs also...but its easierto type in to youtube
Almost like he knew... I can't imagine how he would feel today if he were alive. With corporate and personal lasciviousness at an all time high. My Dad was born the same year as John Denver and I constantly have to help my dad understand what's going on when he doesn't understand the wickedness the world has come to. There are many things I simply don't tell him because he's better off not knowing.
Thank-u John from me & all the earthlings.
What a gift you have given us!!! I have looked all over for this song..his last composition! Thank you, Thank you , Thank you! What an effort you have expended to make this video so wonderful!
RIP Peace John Denver We,ll Never Forget Your Music And Songs.
This video . the greatest treasure EVER....Very emotional watching this....John Denver.....we all love and miss you sooo much...1/4/20
Love it.. Great to see him with Zac...😊
You are very spiritual in your love for the songs you sing make me bloom for the beauty of this earth 🌎 thankyou.
That man was so trueth full and carried about the world that's the way everybody should be
Beautiful! Thank You John. You will always be with us.
Thank you for this. I miss his voice so so much. Our collective song is lessened without his thread running through it.
Beautifully said! 😌
Miss you Uncle John xoxo
I wish they would release this as a single.
Thank you for putting this together... beautiful song... love how happy and relaxed he is, and seeing him with his kids... really wonderful and priceless...
Absolutely beautiful. Lovely to see him so happy. Thank you for sharing.
This
This is the best goddam part of CZcams, hell the internet. Shit that may be near lost or hard to find is preserved. So much is still lost but so much more is preserved. One time recorded songs preserved forever and so forth.
Your music has always calmed my heart and soul. I miss your spirit.
Just instantly moved to tears.
Oh my God, you did good editing this video. Thank you so much for doing this for us.
AGREED
Such an excellent version, with footage from the Nature documentary. Thank you!
What a beautiful song. I saw a part of that Colorado River special on PBS on TV when I was younger and while I've never forgotten it, I've struggled to find a copy of it. This song sounds like a spiritual sequel or "sister" to "Amazon", it's incredible. Btw, nice reference at 2:38 to "Eagles and Horses" :)
Love this video with John, Zacchary, & Anna Kate. 😊
A beautiful song. RIP John.
This is so BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤❤❤❤💕💕🎵🎤🎸🎧👍👍 (We miss you, John!! RIP. 😭😭💔💔🙏🙏)
I really cant stop loving your song your voice hope your proud of what you offered us because am really proud of you R.i.p love
He is with Mother Earth now! Miss you John
I love this song! Absolutely fantastic!!
I miss him a lot he had a good spirit
I love this song and I wish all could appreciate the nature of which he sings!!!!
He did finish this song and recorded it for me on my birthday3 months before he died
Outstanding performance......God Bless You John Denver..RIP 2/23/20
Thank you for this. Your editing of videos sound clips made this worthy of its own recording....which it is. I think JD would approve.
Thank you for this mix... This is the version John would have wanted to be shared I am sure. Very well done.
I love this edit you've put together, Clark. Linking back to your video; I've taken the liberty of using this beautiful edit in my "John Denver Mega Concert Experience". Just an amazing tribute. Immense gratitude for putting it together.
He is home and always with us in all of our senosries. Oh-ooo oh-ooo oh-ooo oh-ooo Oh, the Yellowstone. What one man did for us to be the one to teach us to cary on and do. "It is not about what you have done, it is about what you will do.-John Lizgange" Oh-ooo oh-ooo oh-ooo oh-ooo Oh
It's a shame this was never recorded in a high end studio but in his home studio. Still, a beautiful tribute to my favorite singer-songwriter....yet he was so much more than that. A complicated and quite conflicted man, he cared, I believe too much for issues he badly wanted to change. Yet, in the end, he realized he was, as are we all in our modern world, inextricably linked with the problems we so surely want to solve. Suffering from bipolar disorder (imho as a physician), he self medicated w alcohol which never leads to a good outcome. I believe he was a spiritual man and I hope he is finally at peace and he is finally home.
Awesome John
Missed
Come home
Simply beautiful!!
the music, the song , the voice, the way he is dressed and the color of his hair fully support the surrounding nature. Those makes me fall in love
love and peace pass it on.
I miss john terribly saw him a few weeks before his death in Baltimore
Miss you John.. You are the voice of my childhood. Still in my heart and soul, for always. We will meet one day.
I miss you so much John ...........thankyou for your friendship..........I will never forget
My heart opens wide to see and hear this. Thank you!
You did a wonderful job putting this music video together to make John Denver's last song complete... meaning him sing "Yellowstone" from start to finish. Thank you!
man i wish he got to record the final version in a studio its a great song
Amazing Voice & Such A Big Loss..🕺🎸❤THX JOHN Rip :((
I have always liked his music my mom has records of his music
Three country singers that I really enjoy John Denver Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell and I'm not really a big country fan but I did enjoy your music
I consider John to be more folk than country personally, particularly all of his really passionate stuff about his love of life and nature.
Great job. Thank you.
The older John got, the more he looked like Steve Irwin. He especially favors him in the scenes where he's singing at the campfire.
Please don’t compare John Denver a true conservationist to Irwin with his Zoo
Such an ignorant comparison.
Thanks for pointing it out!
Forever...John!
I'm sure a slowed version of this would be absolutely more mind-blowing
You have done a Brilliant job with this recording and I am Blessed with your efforts. Thank you.
you did a fantastic job making this!
GREAT job with this!
I watched this PBS special about ten years ago,where John was playing in front of the campfire,and sang the third verse. "he said this could be the third verse" does anyone have that?
Thank you for producing this.
What special was this from? I remember seeing it but now I don't remember! great song, still miss him
He looks like Steve Erwin at 1:54. They both loved the same thing.
You're right....John and Steve were both passionate about the Natural World. God Bless them both!
take me Home my Wyoming 👍
I am with Lynda ..down below..We miss you John.
OMG I GOT TO RECORD MY 12-STRING IN THAT PLACE!!!!
I think more than any others 2 stood apart as far as embodiments of the actual essence of life and the fullness of that. 1) Jacques Cousteau, 2) John Denver
This video clip was taken from a tv program that ran on PBS and debuted his upcoming Yellowstone Project. Life was rediscovered for John then and a brightest of all futures......and then he was murdered with a couple of thousand people watching his proto type (illegally sold to him) plane go down due to the fuel supply reset switch being placed in the most impossible of all places and he died trying to reach it.
The worst part came in the aftermath as somehow RCA his FORMER record label who had dumped him a couple years before then was SPURNED BY HIM as far as his Yellowstone project, somehow took sides with the planes designer and maker citing that he had committed suicide.
After lengthy investigations it was concluded that the fuel reset switch that by US federal law was supposed to be on the lower dash, was instead mounted on the side of the engine in the compartment behind his pilot seat. His family launched multiple suits and won them all.
For the planes maker they had to pay a huge settlement that ended their business entirely. For RCA Records America liable slander costed them as well and as of now that once biggest record label in America is now an also ran.
For the rest of us.....somehow we also died with him on that day. It was only a few months after this video and PBS program. It has taken me all these years to be able watch it again and only managed it because I want to recreate the WILDLIFE CONCERT and as we speak am writing songs for that.
John Denver inspired for certain, although John Denver I will never be....however, just as nature, we must continue on in the grace, dignity, and majesty that all of Gods creation is for us. Wish me well and good fortune as I attempt to relight a fire that once burned so ever bright in this man's and indeed both of those men's souls.
P0pĺ
Nice job :)
Paws Up !!!!! CHANGE NOW EARTH FIRST !
PAWS UP !!!!!
Did John Denver believe in the Lord
4 PAWS UP !
Too many ads on youtube.
Lyrics?
This is sad cause if he wouldn't have been on that plane he would have been singing on the ground and not on the heaven
