Can't tell you exactly when this concert was, sometime in late 1980 or early '81, but John Denver at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City was a great show. Of course I have been a huge John Denver fan from the beginning. In fact, this may come as a surprise to some, but he's my favorite artist of all time.
Just taking a guess here, but judging from the fiddle in his hand and the band clapping along, I think this is "Thank God I'm a Country Boy."
Thanks for posting the picture. My sister took me to the show for my birthday, I was a freshman in high school and a huge John Denver fan. The concert was in October of 1980. I recall that he played Johnny Be Good by Chuck Berry during the show. I also recall that he was on the stage performing by himself at one point. That was the first concert of many that I have been to in my life. It was a memorable show and he was a fantastic performer.
