Details: John Denver wasn't just a great singer and guitarist, and a magnificent song writer, he was a polished and wonderful performer. 'An Evening With JD' was recorded 'LIVE' at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California in 1974. All the tracks here are absolutely terrific, from the stirring opening number, "Farewell Andromeda" to a later "Take Me Home, Country Roads", the breakthrough country-pop hit that launched him onto the public stage, from a nice version of "Rocky Mountain High", his paean to appreciating the beauties of nature and the natural life to a stirring rendition of his "Rocky Mountain Suite". His beloved state Colorado adopted "Rocky Mountain High" as state song in 2007.
