This event started out with the orchestra with a couple of scores. The John Denver Tribute had some not so memorable songs mixed in with a couple of really good ones like Thank God I'm a Country Boy, and Country Roads. The Fireworks were not very impressive and if you were sitting in the stadium seating you had to twist you neck to see them. However really good experience for Fourth of July, and the tribute to all of the armed services was especially good.Written on Jul 05 2010

This is probably the 6th or 7th 4th of July concert we've attended at the Verizon Amphitheater. Each year is a spectacular event. John Denver's music as interpreted by Jim Curry took me back to remembering all the great JD songs. A reminder of the gift this talented man had of creating words and music to evoke deep feelings. The Eagle & Hawk was accompanied by a video, showing the majesty of the American Bald Eagle. Jim Curry embodies John Denver's style and dress, but eerily he is also married to an Ann(ie). And yes he sang Annie's Song to her. It was great!Written on Jul 05 2010
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are already looking forward to next year's event. Gold star makes it so affordable. I met a woman in the Will Call line who also had bought her tickets at Goldstar!
