If this man were alive today he'd be working with Al Gore. The planet could sure use an advocate like him right about now:

John Denver covers The Band:

John and Johnny (sorry, can't embed this one).

The next two are probably my favourite JD songs ever. I think I first heard them at the same time (when An Evening With John Denver was released in 1975), and even today I can't hear one without wanting to hear the other. They're like a single unit in my head, or something. They're also two of the very few that I put on the same level as Captain Fantastic. I was floored when I first heard them at fourteen-ish and I still am, every single time:

Oooh, thankee thankee for the Deverage, especially "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I love that song and never heard JD's cover. Incidently, my real first concert ever was JD.

But really, it was JD. And here's proof (dig the price):
