Notes:

This Tipsy Taxi benefit concert from 1994 is the very last John Denver concert with his "Elvis-core band".

John had been using Elvis Presley's TCB band members on tour since 1977: James Burton on lead guitar, Glen D. Hardin on piano and Emory Gordy Jr on bass. In 1981, Emory left the band and Jerry Scheff, another TCB band member, filled in. James, Glen and Jerry remained in John Denver's band throughout the 80's. However, for unknown reasons, both James and Glen left John's band in February 1994, and were replaced by multi-instrumentalist Pete Huttlinger and pianist Chris Nole. Jerry remained in John's band for another European tour in March 1994, and was then replaced by bassist Alan Deremo. Pete, Chris and Alan remained in the band until John's death in 1997.

It is also believed that there were two songs premiered at this concert: "Kipahulu High" and "Is It Love".
