Everything is very open with a very clear explanation of the issues. It was truly informative. Your site is extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Just wanted to come back and say, looks like I had a lapse in memory about the date of the show in Granville, Ohio - I believe it was actually March 15, 1969. I have no idea why I put that other date. Anyway, sorry to double-post, but I wanted to clarify!
Very cool site! Is it possible that the entire John Denver show from the Bandersnatch (1968/10/12) could be shared somehow? I've heard a lot of it on YouTube, but looking at the setlist, I'm left wanting to hear the rest. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
Hi, James. I was listening to a post of JD, HC and JT and the recording engineer in me cringed. I have many tools that could clean up, restore and enrich the audio. Get back with me. I’m not selling anything, just offering to help.

Greetings. Great stuff!
I was at a concert of his on 7/2/1988 at Fiddlers Green in Denver. I would really love to get a setlist from that show if it's available. It was significant for personal reasons, and the concert was great. Hoping a setlist is around somewhere.
Thanks!

I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound Tom Paxton
Hay, I used to play this years ago and after picking up the guitar again thought I’d try. Couldn’t get to grips with your version but my fingers remembered!
C Em F G It's a long and dusty road, It's a hot and heavy load, G G7 C And the folks I meet ain't always kind. C Em F G Some are bad, some are good, some have done the best they could, G G7 C And some have tried to ease my troublin mind
F G C Em Am And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound. F G C Can't help but wonder where I'm bound.

The trick seems to be retaining enthusiasm for playing simple rock and roll. Lost In Tyme Radio. On top of the world I m about to lose control Let me know tomorrow Come on let the feeling go All over the world There s a fever taking on Let me know tomorrow. Some of those members of Fairport did play with rock bands, including Dave Pegg who played with Jethro Tull, too. Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I ll give my all to you You re my end and my beginning Even when I lose I m winning. Should be noted that destroying a dropship while enemies are onboard will count towards the challenge.

While stumbling through the Internet in search of new music, new artists, and old favorites, I came upon your website. I have spent about two hours here so far, mostly looking at the discography of two of my favorite artists; John Denver and Guy Clark. I remember John Denver from his Mitchell Trio days in the '60s and my folk group performed many of the group's songs both before and after John. Lizzie Borden and Nazi Polka were crowd favorites and then Leaving on a Jet Plane. Guy Clark has been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine for many years. Now, as an old geezer, single performer, many of Guy's songs are on my playlist. And, since someone mentioned Phil Ochs, Draftdodger Rag has been a staple of mine since Phil recorded the Seeger song. Phil Ochs, such a talent and such a tragedy. Thanks for letting me reminisce on your site. I think I'll pick up my guitar again and do L. A. Freeway. Later. Rexx

Dear Jason,
I've posted a message here already but haven't received a response yet. Please, please can you send me the 1975/12/?? - Larry Sloman's Apartment, New York, NY Demo. (I already know about the one David Peller released). I'm a huge Phil Ochs fan too, and I know how it feels to have songs you want for years but never get them (as I think you do with a proper When I'm Gone performance).
So I'm asking for you to please send this recording to me. If you can't send the whole performance, please just send me the Street Actor performances to me. I really want to hear other recordings of that song.
Please send what you can to: redkythe@hotmail.com
I would be massively in your debt.
Kind Regards,
Laura

Hi Jason - I am a really old John Denver fan. My son recently said that "John Denver must have visited you from his grave because you are obsessed!" I went to a concert when I was in high school between 1975 - 1978 in Salt Lake City, UT. Do you know about that concert? Do you know if there is a recording of it? I'd love to hear it if possible.
Answer: Sir, are you sure that Green Day is a country singer?

Dear Jason,
I'm known as LauraMajestic on YT and I've uploaded various Phil Ochs songs on YT. I've just discovered this site. This is truly incredible, how did you get all of this?
There's one that I particularly REALLY, REALLY want; the 1975/12/?? - Larry Sloman's Apartment, New York, NY Demo. (I already know about the one David Peller released). I'm really interested in the demos Ochs wrote for the Duel in the Sun album so I'm dying to hear these songs. I know I'm asking for a lot here, but I would really, really be in your debt if you could send me that bootleg. It would make my year!
I promise not to upload it on youtube without your permission. I just want it for my own pleasure
Kind Regards,
Laura

Hi Jason,
Sorry about the email for the song that I thought was not JD's. I apoplogize. I am going to go through my albums and see if I can find it. Sorry I shot my mouth off, if I offended you in any way I am truly sorry. Please forgive me. I have had a lot on my mind.
Your website is awesome. I can't believe you have so much stuff on JD. It is amazing.
Cami
Answer: You're welcome Cami.
No, I'm not offended. Anyone is welcome to post on my Guestbook, as long as he/she is not spamming. Feel free to say anything here. Boot Leg might be snide and mean sometimes but he's a nice guy too. Actually he is responsible for the JD chords and lyrics pages, not me.
If you want the song, you can find it on the "Beginnings with The Mitchell Trio" LP, or go to http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=2656 to find a live version.
This here is Boot Leg, the co-owner of this website.
I'm here to tell you that Business... is a John Denver song.
You can argue that it's crap. I can also tell you it's among the top 10 John Denver songs.
It's OK. People have their opinions and I respect that.
But you cannot deny the FACT that
IT IS A JOHN DENVER SONG.
If you feel pissed off, it's John Denver who offended you, not us.
Face it. And get a life.
Lol,
Boot Leg
P.S. Here is a quote from John Denver himself, after someone was offended by one of his songs:
Quote
"I never mean to offend anybody with any of the songs that I do... I just think those songs are very well-written, basically true..."
Answer: Lol. You're full of shit

Hi Jason,
The lyrics to Business as Usual are not John Denver's. He did not write that song. I was really shocked and offended when I read those lyrics and heard the song. Please take John Denver's name off of that song since it is not his and it is really offensive.
The rest of the site is awesome. I am sorry I had to write something wrong, but I needed to let you know how I felt about that song.
Answer: Hi Cami,
Thanks a lot for the comments.
No, that song was not written by John Denver, but John Denver DID sing it, almost at every concert back in the late 60's. It's a shame that it offended you. The song was recorded on an album by The Mitchell Trio featuring John Denver.
I guess you should know that John did a lot of songs written by other people. Country Roads was written by Bill & Taffy, Whose Garden Was This was written by Tom Paxton, Today was written by Randy Sparks, just to name a few. Business Goes on as Usual just falls into that category. You can't say Country Roads is not a John Denver song, can you?
I've noted that the song was written by Fred Hellerman and Fran Minkoff... But SUNG BY John Denver.
Hope this helps,
Jason

Hi Jason. I was wondering if you could upload the full concert of 1973/08/14 - Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO (including Country Roads). I would highly appreciate it. Also the second Red Rocks concert below that one has an incorrect date. It was actually on 6/27/1974. I am almost positive that is the correct date. I at first thought it was 1973 but found myself to be wrong. I appreciate the hard work that you put into your website. I really like it. Thank You.
I'd argue about the date. In 1974 John's band would include Steve Weisberg and Hal Blaine, but neither was featured on the Red Rocks concerts. Both Red Rocks concerts featured Paul Prestopino, who left John's band in 1974. So I'm almost positive that both are from 1973.
All the best,
Jason

I once was in contact with someone who had a recording of John Denver in the Arizona Boys Choir. I hope to find this person again and see if they can make a copy for me.
Answer: Thanks John.
I know that recording but never come by a copy myself. Can you recognize JD's voice in that recording?
Best,
Jason

I stumbled on this your website. Compliments for all the work you have put into it!!! Thanks for the John Denver show in the Congresgebouw in The Hague on Dime (That's how I got here...) I have been to another John Denver concert in the Netherlands that year; in the Jaap Edenhal in Amsterdam on October the 9th. I know that (part of) this concert has been broadcasted for Dutch TV (There are (or were?) a fwe crummy Youtube's of that TV program. This being the first concert I went to with my wife makes it special. If you, or anyone else, has material of that John Denver concert on October 9, 1979, please share it or send me a PM. Thanks in advance!!
Answer: Hi Bert,
Thanks a lot for the kind comments. Sorry but I don't think I have a good copy of that concert. I do have a crappy TAO audio copy somewhere but I think I've tossed it. I'll let you know if I find it.
Best,
Jason

you're correct about Trent not updating his site. anything to keep Phil's legacy alive is good.I bookmarked the page and hope you'll start a mailing list GOOD JOB! THANK YOU Bob Eick
Answer: Thanks very much, Bob!
I planned to do a "Phil Ochs Setlists" page as well, but haven't started yet. I always think that Trent's page should be better maintained, as it's almost the "official" site for Phil... I just checked those chords on that site, and there are more mistakes than I had expected. The chords are completely wrong for songs like "What's That I Hear" and "Song of My Returning". It needs to be maintained...
As for mailing list, I don't know how to do that, sorry. How does that work?
Regards,
Jason
