John
Denver
The Skip
Weshner Show, Los Angeles 1971 [no label, 1CD]
Skip Weshner passed
away in 1997 and these tapes were found among his belongings. They have
been restored and shared among music fans. Weshner hosted a popular radio
show on KRHM-FM in Los Angeles.
On this particular
night, March 9, 1971, Denver says on air that he had been up all night
writing this new song, Starwood In Aspen, and most likely this is the
first performance of this fan favourite. He stops mid-song to figure out
the next chord. While there are some stumbles here and there, this is
a very young John Denver sounding quite mournful on tracks like Follow
Me and Gospel Changes.
This is an excellent
stereo broadcast tape that has never been released before. Please share
freely. Click
on the highlighted tracks to download the MP3s (these are high quality,
stereo MP3s - sample rate of 192 kibit/s).
