Imagine you have fifty thousand dollars sitting in your bank account right now. Most people would use that money to buy a luxury car. But for a certain group of music lovers that price tag buys a seat at a table with a man who has been gone for nearly thirty years.
This is not a simple cover band playing at a local bar on a Friday night. It is a high-tech digital reunion that brings the voice of Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. back to the stage. People call it the John Denver Celebration Concert. And it is currently one of the most expensive private music experiences in world.
John Denver – Rocky Mountain High (Live from The Wildlife Concert)
Fans who attend these shows often leave with tears in their eyes. One viewer said that hearing that specific voice again felt like getting a warm hug from an old friend. Another person mentioned that they forgot they were looking at a screen because the live band makes the music feel so real.
While that high-priced digital experience uses technology to bridge the gap, there are other ways the music stays alive. Sometimes you just need someone who has dedicated their entire life to capturing a specific sound. Rick Schuler carries the same energy and look that John had during his peak years in the seventies.

John Denver was a man who loved the earth and fought to protect the beauty of the world. He showed us that a man with a guitar and a clear voice could change the way we look at the trees and the stars. His songs continue to be a light for anyone who feels a bit lost.
