Welcome to my setlist archive of John Denver. This is also a trading list - contact me if you want any bootleg concert from this page, or have anything to add. Please forward any correction to ddpro@163.com. You are also welcome to post in the site forum's "corrections and suggestions" board here.

I started to upload some live recordings I have to YouTube in May 2016. You can find them on My YouTube Channel. I won't have enough time to upload every recording I have, but if you want to hear a particular show on this page, simply post a thread in the site forum's "requests and queries" board here, and when I see it I'll consider uploading it to YouTube and/or Dime.

I'm specifically looking for recordings of John's concert from his ski tours. These are special concerts John did at the beginning of every year from 1978 to 1988, at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in Nevada. I'm also looking for concerts from 1970 or 1989 or 1993.

I also trade for live shows of Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, John Prine, Bob Gibson, Patrick Sky, Chad Mitchell Trio, Doc Watson... Or any artist that you feel is recommended for me. You can find another trading list of mine here.

This list is still nowhere near complete, as I have too many John Denver recordings that are currently still misplaced. I'll do my best to get things in order as soon as possible. To leave a comment on my website, please visit the Guestbook.

June 3rd, 2016 - I've finally finished adding the sample audio clips to the page - 90 seconds for each show. Sorry for the long wait! There are about 100 more shows I have that are still not listed on the page - I'll sort them out when I find them. You may have noticed that a lot of my recordings are of very poor sound quality. I'd be very glad if you have recordings of any of these shows that are better than mine.

This page is updated every few days, so please be sure you don't forget to refresh the page everytime you visit.

LIST OF KNOWN JOHN DENVER LIVE RECORDINGS

Notes:

The shows marked in red are available in video format; the ones in purple are official releases; the ones in blue are professional recordings, including soundboard and radio recordings; the ones in black are amateur/audience recordings.

I've struck through the concert recordings I don't have but I'm sure exist. I don't know the exact concert date of some radio shows, so they are listed by air date, and are noted in their setlists.

The songs marked in setlists with an "*" asterisk are not available on any of John's official albums yet (for the Mitchell Trio's concerts, the songs with an asterisk are not on any of the Trio's albums, including those by the original Chad Mitchell Trio).

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of my friends who helped me in one way or another on building this page: Boot Leg, Roger Ooms, Alfie Temple, John Marlowe, Michiel ten Brug, Scott Emmert, Barbara Hoehn, Jeff Bowen, Masahisa Mori, Adi Ifrach, Terry Tveraas and Michael Donegan.
