Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Mr. Clean: John Denver's such a nice guy that he makes everything seem all right, says critic Peter Goddard. And last night at The Gardens, in front of 17,500-or-so fans, he trotted out all his tried-and-true earthy niceties ... except one. He didn't use the term far-out once.
