  • A guest 100% for John Denver · Fri, 04 May 1990

    I was lucky enough to be at this concert! We were on holiday from Scotland - my parents, myself and my son who was 4 months old at the time. I saw the poster outside the Opera House and was desperate to go..I asked at the box office and was told it was a sell out - but there was a single ticket left if I didn't mind going alone ( which was the plan anyway) On the night itself, the backing group has trouble with flights so they weren't there. But John was with just one other musician so they played the concert anyway as an acoustic set and it was better than I had ever imagined. He was charming, funny , self deprecating and a very genuine man as well as a fantastic songwriter, singer & musician. It is still one of my most favourite concerts and one of my most loved memories.
