Gack! I was in middle school in '77!
I found, and downloaded, a series of four(?) videos, consecutive to each other of, I -believe-, John doing a house-concert for his family for Thanksgiving. This is very, very similar. John just "got" people: family, friends, extended family like here or a stadium of tens of thousands.
Now, obviously, I never knew John personally. And, just as obviously all that I -do- know of him comes via various sources, some who actually DID know him, personally. What I'm getting at is, despite certain "idiosyncrasies" that he managed to keep fairly quiet from general public knowledge, I'm told John was the same person no matter where you might have encountered him. This video - and the other ones that I have - show just that.
He wasn't a phony. THAT is why I always respected him - even in his most human of moments. How odd -rare and precious, too - it is to know that about him. I mean REALLY know it, like I know the scars of my 51 years. Now "that" is truly FAR-OUT!!
(And I just realized - when we first met - my 2nd husband looked a LOT like John looks in this video!!!!!! Might explain a few things! LOL)
Fairfarren!
