5 out of 5 stars The Sound Quality Is Top Notch As Are The Songs.......2007-03-27

This is the first John Denver CD I ever purchased and from the start I noticed something amazing. I had vague memories as a child of the original recordings. This is John Denver after he discovered his voice and his music. His ability to sing has changed so drastically since he started that you might have a hard time even realizing it is the same man. There is a richness to his voice here that was not present years ago. The songs that are covered here by JD are so superior to the originals in performance quality and overall sound quality with the new recordings that I myself find it almost unbearable to listen to the original recordings. They sound terrible compared to these versions that are enhanced in every way. I just bought "Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits" to have the originals but after hearing these reworked versions it is just so hard to listen to. "Best Of" is just as good as it gets. My favorites are "Leaving On A Jet Plane" and "Country Road". "Dreamland Express" is wonderful, too. For the low price you should not hesitate an instant.

5 out of 5 stars best of john denver.......2006-11-12

I truly love his music..have grown up listening to him...cd arrived in great condition.
thank you

5 out of 5 stars Must Have CD.......2006-07-05

I've been looking for a John Denver cd that had all his best songs, and I finally found it. This cd is also a must have!

3 out of 5 stars Not the John Denver I remember!.......2006-03-12

My first reaction was Yikes, what's this! But, the more I have listened to it, the more I'm getting used to it...but it definitely isn't the John Denver I remember.

4 out of 5 stars Really enjoying this!.......2006-03-08

As I listen to this CD, I'm finding I'm enjoying the reworked selections sung by a more mature John Denver. It reminds me of the times I saw him in concert, where you're not going to hear the exact original recording, but John's interpretation at that moment...kinda brings him alive again for a little while. If you're a true Denver fan, you'll enjoy this CD. :)

5 out of 5 stars Classic John Denver.......2007-04-14

This sixteen-song set of some of John Denver's greatest hits is probably one of the best live recordings he has done. He manages to bring out the magic of each song and never falters. Unlike most live albums that lack the clarity or depth of studio albums, this collection sounds crisp and vital due to the SACD format. It sounds as if John Denver is literally in your room. The guitar work is as crystal clear as well. Indulge yourself. This is a classic album.

4 out of 5 stars The Best of John Denver.......2006-11-04

This is a great CD of the best known John Denver songs. I owned this CD before but it got lost and was glad to be able to find it again. The commbination of great music and live show makes this an enjoyable CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great live show, and fine songs........2004-02-03

John Denver has never been one of my favourite singers/songwriters but this is really pretty special.I bought it because it was an SACD and I've read good things about this SACD. Well the concert seems to have been one of those events that happens by chance to get all the right things going for it at once. His voice,atmosphere and recording are all of the highest scale. The songs are catchy and inofensive. This event was lucky to happen when it did as he died in 1997 and this is the next best thing to a live concert. For music I give it 90% and recording 90%.

3 out of 5 stars Stereo SACD: No Multichannel.......2003-10-13

This is a great performance. My review is mostly based on the fact that this is a stereo SACD, not multichannel. I am learning more about SACD every day, but was very disappointed that it is only presented in stereo.

4 out of 5 stars Great Live reccccording Of John's Hits!.......2002-09-10

This is a wonderful compilation of live versions of John Denver's greatest hits even as he was continuing to make them. . Here we see the monster hits that propelled him into amazing popularity and superstardom in the early 1970s. In his heyday no one was outselling his albums or out-booking John for concert appearances, and considering the incredible talents on the scene at the time, that is a pretty good indication of just how popular he was, and just how universal John Denver's appeal was. No one else sang of the wide-open possibilities and seemingly limitless prospects for a good life awaiting those who would free themselves from the bonds that confined them and just dare to soar along with him in the wild open spaces.

All the tracks here are terrific, from "Take Me Home, Country Roads", the breakthrough country-pop hit that launched him onto the public stage, to "Rocky Mountain High, his paean to appreciating the beauties of nature and the natural life. He, more than any of his contemporaries, actively caught the public's imagination regarding the wonders of the natural environment, and in a time when environmental concerns were splashed all over the headlines and the evening news, John's vision of popular concern for and stewardship of the natural world was immensely important. I love all the songs here, including "Starwood In Aspen", "Rhymes And Reasons ", "Sunshine On My Shoulders", " The Eagle And The Hawk", and my own special favorite, "Poems, Prayers, And Promises". This album represents a wonderful overview of the early work of John as he thrilled a whole generation with his own perspective of a meaningful life lived in the natural splendor of nature. I know you will enjoy this live performance of many of his hits as well as all the other three of his greatest hits albums. Far out!

      I enjoy this collection because it has some of John's old favorites and some of his lesser known songs and all sung in his mature voice. It is a two CD set, BTW.

      2 out of 5 stars Ugh. Not the songs I remember..........1999-09-26

      Ugh. Darn. Got me again. This is not a collection of the songs that were played on the radio. It is a collection of songs with the same title, but sung in a totally different way. The renditions are tired, strained, and seem to be missing the "magic" I remember and find on other CDs. BEWARE. BE DISAPPOINTED. NOT THE SONGS YOU ARE EXPECTING. JDMc

      3 out of 5 stars Revised Mixes, but otherwise good.......2005-10-22

      I ordered this based on the fact that all of the songs (except the three from the 1980's) were remixed from the original session tapes. This was fantastic news for me, as I have loved these tunes since the day I was born, but (like every other music buyer) have only been handed the same limp mixes from day one, in various degrees of tape hiss.

      So, it came today, and I popped it in.

      "Take Me Home, Country Roads" comes on. WOW! There is a bass line to this song!!! The fidelity is incredible! Hmmm...that instrument is louder than originally....but hey, I like it!

      "Rocky Mountain High" comes on. Wow! The fullness is great....the guitars have life to them......They even fixed that vocal glitch on the "He Climbed Cathedral Mountains" line. This is great---wait a minute! What did he say? That line is different! Hold On! Some of this is an alternate vocal track!

      "Back Home Again" comes on. What the hell??? Why is there a drum kit way up in the mix on this? Where is the subtlety of the original mix? This is absurd.

      So goes the whole CD....some differences are mild-to-non-exsistant, and some just change the particular song into something different than we remember.

      There is a bonus disc that comes with this CD which contains "Calypso" and "Annie's Song" in acoustic remixes (read: the actual master recordings with almost everything dropped except the guitars and vocals), an early lesser-quality demo-take of "Leavin' On A Jet Plane", and two other unreleased tunes. The second disc is not essential by any stretch.

      So, basically, RCA/BMG had a good chance to finally make these somgs come alive after years of subjecting us to the same worn-out, hiss-filled 1970's mixes, but instead, we get tracks which can be justifyibly called "alternate versions".

      Instead of a remixed greatest hits, we get something more closely resembeling The Beatles "Anthology" series.

      Good to buy for the completeist, but the casual fan should stick to the original 3 volumes of JD's Greatest Hits.

      3 out of 5 stars The Sound Quality is Lacking!.......2000-02-02

      Don't get me wrong, I love John Denver's music, but the sound quality of this CD was disappointing after having recently heard the "A Celebration of Life" CD. That CD, played on the same player as this one, had a richer and fuller sound, almost like he was right there in the room singing. Almost all of the familiar titles are there, along with some not as familiar. However, I can't imagine why Take Me Home, County Roads wasn't included on an album entitled "The Very Best of John Denver". I guess you get what you pay for.

      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2000-01-21

      I was never an avid fan of John Denver but when he passed away, I began to remember how much his songs played a part of my youth. At first when I heard this CD I was disappointed they weren't the original recordings, but then almost immediately I began to hear how beautiful his voice was. These recordings are of all the favorites, even the ones you never knew you liked so much. They have new orchestration, much richer and fuller than the originals, and I can't help but think that this is the way he would have loved to have presented these songs if he had had the technology and money back then. He had a beautiful voice that did not diminish with age, as many other pop singers' did.

      5 out of 5 stars An outstanding collection from a prolific performer........1999-05-30

      There are many John Denver collections, but this one happens to contain some of my all-time favorites, including the soaring "For You", and perennial favorite "Sunshine On My Shoulders". Listening to this CD brings back a very memorable open-air concert on a mountainside in Utah several years ago. I can't think of a better way to spend $6 than to buy this CD.

      4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2005-12-26

      If you own the Best of John Denver from Madacy and EMI, you would be repeating the exact same recordings along with some others. This is incomplete without "Thank God I'm A Country Boy." Greatest Hits 1 and 2 are the ones to get, but if you are a huge John Denver fan like myself, you probably wouldn't mind this album as long as you do not pay a fortune for it IE not more than $10.00 new or used.

      3 out of 5 stars This is for "True Blue" fans!.......2002-01-06

      Overall, this makes a good album to add to your JD collection... but if you're only "so-so" about John Denver, I'd reccomend getting a better recording. There are lots of good songs, as well as not-so-good songs, which only his true fans could appreciate. Also the sound quality is not so hot, and they've gone a little overboard with the echo. Personally, I like it a lot because his voice is breath-taking and I want to get my hands on pretty much everything that was released by him...=D
      So, unless you're like me and want to collect "everything", I'd say go for something else. Good luck!

      2 out of 5 stars Not originals, Not the very best.......2000-03-05

      All one has to do is click the sound clip links above to hear that this is yet another greatest hits collection that does NOT feature the original recordings. This is at least true of "Sunshine" and "Annie's Song." Also missing here are "Fly Away" with Olivia Newton-John and "Thank God I'm a Country Boy." It seems the only way to enjoy John Denver's classics today is to buy the original Greatest Hits (I & II), though unfortunately they do not appear digitally remastered. If anyone knows of a one or two CD complete set of original greatest hit recordings that is remastered, I'm all ears.

      5 out of 5 stars A complete collection of original hits........1999-08-30

      This inexpensive set clearly covers all the best of John Denver. Anyone wanting only his popular hits should buy this album.

      5 out of 5 stars Precious Recordings.......2007-05-20

      I wonder what some other reviewers are smoking. These are modern recordings of some of his best songs. The recording quality is excellent ..... and his voice sounds better to me than I've ever heard it before.

      Judge for yourself ..... if you really want to listen to this before you buy, go down to your local public library and listen to a copy first.

      I only wish I could get all his music in modern recordings, because older cd's made from the originals usually sound quite flat and dull. I've not listened to any of the remastered ones yet, but will try those next.

      3 out of 5 stars Not original renditions but nice disc anyhow.......2006-04-22

      1) These are NOT the original hit versions of these tunes. They are re-recordings, probably from the 90s judging from the soft synthesizer padding on certain tracks.
      2) The sound is excellent despite the low price.
      3) They're all pretty good songs.

      BOTTOM LINE:
      If you're a complete Denver novice, this is a very inexpensive entry point. If you decide you love it, you'll probably want to then invest in a pricier but more inclusive collection featuring the hit renditions and some of the more quality album cut fare.

      4 out of 5 stars Beautiful recordings!.......2006-04-03

      If you like John Denver live, buy another album. These songs are studio recordings that are not as raw as his live performances that most are accustomed to hearing. That is not a bad thing. The quality of these recordings is excellent. The music produces a very relaxed atmosphere as everything is smoother and flows better than the live performance albums. It is a very soft, and mellow album. All of the major hits are included and for the price it is an incredible deal.

      If don't own any John Denver cds, this would make a nice sampler for you to get aquainted with. You then later move on to a more complete collection with the desired live performances if you decide you enjoy his music.

      1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money or time.......2005-04-19

      If you're new to John Denver, this is a terrible introduction to his talent and great music. If you're a long-time fan, this is a total disappointment. Every track has the same canned jazzy background that drowns out the vocals and ruins the song. Surely not the way he ever intended his music to sound. Try the Wildlife Concert album (fabulous), or some of the older albums, like An Evening With John Denver. Anything but this.

      1 out of 5 stars Note the list price.......2004-11-30

      I have this disk.

      I bought it expecting the popular versions of the tracks listed, and got less than that. These recordings may have been made when Denver was older or something, as his voice isn't what I was expecting.

      I'm getting rid of this disk, as I feel it is a rip-off. On the other hand, you get what you pay for.
