Notes:

This is the very last live recording of John Denver. A week after this concert, John's experimental Adrian Davis Long-EZ plane crashed into Monterey Bay in California.

The show is solo acoustic, though two of the songs were sung to tracks recorded - "The Thought of You" and "A Country Girl in Paris". John Denver did one more concert in Corpus Christi on 5th, but it wasn't taped as far as we know.

The encore for this concert is "Yellowstone, Coming Home", a song written for a PBS TV special called "Let This Be a Voice". Finished a month prior to his plane crash, it was the last song John Denver had ever written. The song was never released, but a home studio demo version of the song can be heard on the PBS TV show. This concert has the only known solo acoustic live version of the song.
