Amazing thru his illnesses we watched him go from a tall vibrant good lookin guy to a shrunk up little old man & STILL pumping out his Fabulous music. RIP.
Saw him live in TN about a year before he passed, literally couldnt listen to a single song without losing it for awhile after he passed. I'll never forget how choked up I got listening to When I Get to Heaven for the first time after he was called home. John is a legend, his music will be loved forever. 🤠 🎸
John Prine was the best of story tellers. I had the pleasure of seeing him 3 times live. First time I heard of him was in Navy Boot Camp, saw him later in 1977 for the first time. Each was a memory of it's own.
I was introduced to John's music in my early 20's. Being the stupid kid I was my first thought was, this sucks. Reintroduced about 10 years later and I realized what I had been missing. Been a fan of this unbelievably talented artist for the next 40+ plus years.
I don't think anyone else can do it better than John. I just got out of 6 weeks in in the hospital with Covid related lung disease and Johnny and his songs were with me the whole time.
MAN JOHN PRINE WAS A LIKEABLE GUY YA FELT LIKE YOU KNEW HIM!!! GOOD MAN GONE TO EARLY THANK GOD FOR YOU TUBE!!! HE ALSO SINGS SOME TEAR JERKERS GOD LUV HIM HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON IN A GOOD MANY FANS HEART, I KNOW HE WILL LIVE ON IN MINE.. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN PRINE ITS A CRUEL WORLD OUT THERE SOMETIMES YOU KNOW!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR AMAZING AWESOME MUSIC,R.I.P!!!
He is the GOAT and he is still with us in his music lots of us here have no recording of our lost ones but i can here him when ever i want to. I think ofJohn playing for God and his angels and waiting for his reincarnation Hurry iam 74 mr Canada
I dedicate this video to my BF Bob Lovelace who sadly died of a heart attack in 2020..He looked just like JP in this video..its uncanny their voices and smiles were th e same ...He loved John Prine too !! .
Great artist. Some may find it strange but I much prefer his voice the older he got right up to the last shows. My favorite performance is the one he did at Strombopoulos house, you can find it on UA-cam.
I arrived very late late to the John Prine party but he is now one of my go-to artists. Always admired his song writing but have come to appreciate his singing as well. This band is amazing!
So glad this is released. I’ve had this recorded on VHS in 80. I wrote him in late 90s asked why don’t he release it. I received a signed 8x10 and guitar pick
I've been listening to him almost exclusively lately. I cry through some of it and I laugh through alot of it. It just depends on my mood and the song of course He was just an everyday guy with a gift for us. I miss him tremendously.
John touched the hearts, minds and funny bones of all his fans. Hearing of his passing was devastating. I’m so very fortunate to have seen him play several times. ❤
I have been listening to John Prine since he started..lived where he did and lived what he did and that’s why we always connected and always will be…he’s not dead and never will be…he lives forever ❤
I started listening to JP in the early 80's and got to see him in Destin, Florida around 1985 in a small venue there, it was something I'll never forget!
To make no mention of his obvious songwriting ability, I’ve heard nothing but positive stories about Prine’s empathy and kindness. RIP John, and happy enchilada.
His story about visiting the old folks home with his friend when they were kids to me says everything about the man JP was. After hearing Hello in There for the first time way back when and being moved to tears, I made a point of greeting every elderly person I encountered on my daily walks around my neighborhood.
Swear it happened & i think it was Him i met john at Brookfield Zoo on the little train that goes all around, we all just came & ran for the train & we ended up in a seat. Quick enough found out same age, born 6 mos. Apart him in Maywood right there & me across the lake in Michigan. I thought he said his name was John PRIME & only way years later did i put it together & saw him & figured it had been the same kids, birthday matched & where he lived, so ...RIP Buddy!
A friend in 6th grade played the album Sweet Revenge that her older cousin brought over. We liked Dear Abby best at that age. A few years later i bought the album for myself. 1978.
I love this rockin' performance. I've never heard an artist that moved me like John Prine. I love singer-songwriters but Prine is above and beyond all others. I got to meet him and Fiona in Houston briefly before a show w Todd Snider opening and saw him twice more in San Antonio. Soulful Excellence.
In 1994 my wife and I saw Johnny in Richmond Va. We sat amongst a bunch of crusty older bikers that had just ridden up from Charlotte NC. Sam Stone began to play, and most of the bikers joined arms and sobbed quietly. In minutes, everyone around them joined them by linking up arms with them. It was the most humane thing I had ever seen, still to this day. Boy, we sure miss Johnny.
Been enjoying John's music since the first album when I was in high school. Saw him in New Orleans (West Bank I think it was) around 1981 in a small venue concert raising money for NORML. Timeless humor and pathos.
I have always enjoyed these songs even those I always kind of understood - thinking John somehow plucked some of them out of thin air. This show has been great in helping Me understand His composing a big bunch better 🎼 🎶 🎤🎶🔊 > 🎵 👂😄🦻 👀 Yup❕ G-G.

Love him! Broke my heart I couldn't see him in person before covid struck him down. Don't be stupid. Get your boosters. You now have a choice to make. John didn't. He would have chose life.
Everybody seem to like this guy. I'm just not his audience. I don't care how nice and friendly and hospitable a songwriter is. If a guy is a snake but writes the best songs I'm gonna listen to his songs.
Amazing thru his illnesses we watched him go from a tall vibrant good lookin guy to a shrunk up little old man & STILL pumping out his Fabulous music. RIP.
The throat cancer was brutal on him... but he kept on going
it happens. To many of us.
Oh HE SURE DID!!!
Took me two years before I could listen to him after he passed.they broke the mold after he was born.
Probably nice to meet him but didn't
Llĺ
😅😅😅
Absolutely the best!
Saw him live in TN about a year before he passed, literally couldnt listen to a single song without losing it for awhile after he passed.
I'll never forget how choked up I got listening to When I Get to Heaven for the first time after he was called home.
John is a legend, his music will be loved forever. 🤠 🎸
I loved seeing John in concert many times. It's a shame that damn COVID took him from us. Makes me cry
he was not well prior to them releasing it...
John Prine was the best of story tellers. I had the pleasure of seeing him 3 times live. First time I heard of him was in Navy Boot Camp, saw him later in 1977 for the first time. Each was a memory of it's own.

I saw John and Bonnie in Little Rock summer of 88 best show ever ❤
Sometimes you need two like buttons!! What a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend 59 minutes and 8 seconds 😊 - thank you Mr Prine
I don't think anyone else can do it better than John. I just got out of 6 weeks in in the hospital with Covid related lung disease and Johnny and his songs were with me the whole time.
Hope and pray that you're doing better now! Rest assured that John is proud to have helped you recover from your illness!
4:32 Lets F Gooooo!
BLESSING TO ALL WITH THE CHINEESE VIRAS...........MORE TO COME........P-RAY THAT THINGS GO GOOD.......AMERICA.....SPORTS....MUSIC GODjesus!!!!!

Look up Jesse Welles. He is a modern day John prine, Todd sinder and Steve Goodman wrapped. You can tell John prine was a big influence

He most certainly does look like him
Thanks, team, for capturing John so beautifully. What a guy.
Bought this DVD 15 yrs ago randomly out of a head shop in KC called it's a beautiful day. Money well spent
Great artist. Some may find it strange but I much prefer his voice the older he got right up to the last shows. My favorite performance is the one he did at Strombopoulos house, you can find it on UA-cam.
I’m paying my respects to John prime did not no he passed but have to pay my respects
I BEEN listening to JOHN PRINE 40 PLUS YRS ALTHOUGH HE'S GONE I LISTENING TO HIM ON U TUBE EVER SINCE GOD LUV HIM!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN!!!!
From the first time I heard Souvenirs and had to learn it in my humble 3 chord way.
I've been a John Prine fan since the first time I heard Sam Stone on the radio in the early 70's. His words pop up in my head all of the time.
I been loving John first time i heard him. Cried the day he died. Missed!
Still i listen
I arrived very late late to the John Prine party but he is now one of my go-to artists. Always admired his song writing but have come to appreciate his singing as well. This band is amazing!
Mother Father of all creation are here in the flesh 🎉
Some somehow missed this phase of John's carreer - which, in retrospect now, is entirely admirable.
So glad this is released. I’ve had this recorded on VHS in 80. I wrote him in late 90s asked why don’t he release it. I received a signed 8x10 and guitar pick
I've been listening to him almost exclusively lately. I cry through some of it and I laugh through alot of it. It just depends on my mood and the song of course He was just an everyday guy with a gift for us. I miss him tremendously.
I went on a listening spree myself sometime after he left us. We still have his music and always will. I am thankful for that.
John touched the hearts, minds and funny bones of all his fans. Hearing of his passing was devastating. I’m so very fortunate to have seen him play several times. ❤
00ppp
he was special, that’s for certain.
I have been listening to John Prine since he started..lived where he did and lived what he did and that’s why we always connected and always will be…he’s not dead and never will be…he lives forever ❤
HE as alive as Moi!! Elvis!!
I have my dad's VA license plate, or saw one, ,)
J Prine.
I played 4 Prine songs at his funeral.
Genius.
I just found out he smoked weed with T-Bone Pickins and noted others in the alley at The studio... Peace John.
I started listening to JP in the early 80's and got to see him in Destin, Florida around 1985 in a small venue there, it was something I'll never forget!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉l miss you brother.

What an incredible songwriter and singer. He is so real and genuine 💜

After all these years, Bruised Orange still sends shivers down my spine.

Does anyone remember John playing in Bloomington, indiana?
Does John remind anyone else of Roger Miller? Maybe that’s just me.
Johnprine
The hair was awesome!
Even his hair was the best!
Thank you for uploading this John. This band is amazing. Does anybody know the members? It’s probably in the comments already, but I’m lazy :-)
Reminds me of Dylan going electric in a strange way, rest in peace mr prine
I think he blows Dylan away by far.
Source is here in person. Be at the greatest energy group chat today to wake up ! 🎉
What about the other is that what him more famous and not nobody say
😊
Love him! Broke my heart I couldn't see him in person before covid struck him down. Don't be stupid. Get your boosters. You now have a choice to make. John didn't. He would have chose life.

You bet!!!
GOD! I loved his music!
Anyone know where this was performed? I seen Prine in 1980 and I'm curious if this was the show.
WTTW television studio in Chicago, google that
Hank III can do the same as Prine. Hope it happens
Ask him not true
I think he got better as he got older, like cheese, I don't know 😅
I HATE CIGARETTES !!!!!!
I miss them days
From the first time I heard Souvenirs and had to learn it in my humble 3 chord way.
