- Iris DeMent's encore from her gig in Campbells Tavern in Clockanover Co Galway, Ireland was John Prine's 'In Spite of Ourselves' John, who was in the audience, joined her on stage for the last show of the last night of the 2011 Galway Arts Festival. Enjoy! Filmed by Des Kilbane
An example of "three chords and the truth". Common language, common things but still somehow inspirational.
Probably the best love song ever
I agree. Although it’s not conventional, I thinking it’s the greatest love song ever written.
It's so cute seeing these two still laughing and giggling while singing this after so many years and so many performances of it. Ask any musician and there's always one song (or more) they never get tired of playing live. RIP J.P.
God I will miss you forever Mr John Prime
I look forward to seeing him again at our forever Heavenly Home!
For me, it'll be fairly soon.
No regrets, for me..., I look forward to smoking a cigarette 9 miles long! Rest well, and love the ones you're with!!
I love how red John Prine's face got when Iris Dement said "balls" like he couldn't believe he got her to sing it in the first place. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
I think of the several versions of John and Iris doing this brilliant song on UA-cam, this is the one I like best. The sheer warmth of their relationship here, and the love from their audience, makes it that bit extra special. RIP John: you overcame cancer only to be felled by this dreadful virus. You were a giant. Still, we should celebrate the fact that you were spared to live a full life, and managed to double the years lived by your dear pal, the magnificent Steve Goodman.
Great ackoligment. Yup,! G-G 😃 😁
Vin, Thank you so much.
Cancer allright.... Dreadful virus my ass

“LIFE”
RIP JOHN THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!
absolutely heartwarming how much the crowd is into this
Best song in UA-cam!!......sung by the best duo!!!!
Can never get enough of John Prime!!
Miss you John. Keep singing your heart out Iris.
Two of my favorite performers and I don't understand why a novelty country song brings tears to my eyes... must be magic!
One of the greatest love songs ever. John and Iris can make the average couple feel like a king and queen. R.I.P. John, truly amazining musician.
That is a brilliant, poetic comment.
Saw John in 1974. Great Performer. A legend.
Love this song, love John and Iris
God Love this man he came God himself. Why because he has a gift from haven and GoD bless John Prime and his music
Love this every time I hear it. That goodness for both of them. Halleluyah.
Thanks, Gretchen!
This guy is what old school hippie logic that loves all humanity as cherish able souls! His humor,trust for his artistic skill, understanding that money as a
Goal compared to music regardless of it's challenging obstacles was his fate,he followed
His instincts , sacrificed and suffered,he won and we got to share his adventure! God bless you John prime!
S
hes the best song writer ever and that includes dylan kristofferson and lennon.I love the mans music
Just hope someday that everyone will realize what a fantastic , songwriter Mr Prine was
So true
What a treat that must have been for the folks in the audience..
I t sure was, Leo!
It's not just the lyrics but that accent of Iris' which really (to me) seals the deal. So very sad that we lost John. Once saw him in Tucson AZ. Saw Iris as well but not at the same show.
Absolutely magnificent two great artists. John Prine was a giant of a singer song writer and Iris Dement a queen.
Thanks for the beautiful music.
True love...
Thank you all to pieces for sharing this moment with us.
It's a keeper. Iris always makes me cry. I love 'em both.
And John makes me laugh, great combo!
I have got to go to Campbells Tavern!! thanks for that
Love this tune......
It has been said ; and this is so true with John Prine style of song , story and music , " Three chords and the truth." I believe John Prine proved that and more . Ok this song was a fictional prose but you gotta love it . It is a satire of life in general, the irony is just so genuine
Cheers 03/09/2022
Well said, Kev-bo!!! :-)
Thanks for sharing.... closest thing to being there!
How can you not love him ? Great song , thanks to both. People all over the world miss John Prince, my favourite song by him might be Sam Stone !
I can't remember how many times I listened to "In Spite of Ourselves" and every time, I enjoyed it as much as the first time but I couldn't stop smiling as I listened and watched these two friends really have fun with it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yes yes RAa
One of the greatest songs ever from John.
And Iris makes you feel like they've been married for generations.
I love the song, it's been on my Playlist for years.
And I never tire of singing along to my wife!
Love jp
They were SO good together. Love this!! ❤❤
Well...somehow I just jumped from an Allison Kraus/ James Taylor studio recording session...both of whom I love dearly..to this. I "listened" to the first one...very nice..but just listening and watching John and Iris just so enjoying themselves live..non studio production..was wonderful..no contest...thank you UA-cam..
John Prine is sorely missed. RIP sir.
Thats one very special man right there!
Beautiful, just beautiful! Watch this all the time
God I love this man and his music this song reminds me of my own family lol
Thank you so much for posting this gem
Christa, you are very welcome.
Love you miss iris
God bless them both this is one my favorite songs because it just proves that hillbillies are Find
2 blessed Angels, if ever there were any. . .
John Prine is that one song writer l wish l knew. Iris and him are so cute and perfect singing this.
I was listening to this song at work, and my manager who was beside me asked "What the heck is that???" And I told him point blank "THAT'S JOHN PRINE!" ... with a smile on my face.
If you from the USA , you gotta know this is a little bar pretty much with nothing near it for miles. They deserve lots of credit for working the venue into a great stopping point for the stars. 👏👏👏👏
My god they have Damm good entertainment
Awwwww. Treasure.
They had fun
theyre singing about me & my Wife !!!!! 😂
Such warmth in this performance. It made me all teary-eyed. Thank you for sharing the video.
❤️ He was a very handsome man! ❤️
What a "Pair to Draw to". Yup,! G-G 😆 😃
To anyone who hasn’t seen “Daddy and Them”, the movie this song was written for, it’s really worth a watch. It stars Billy Bob Thornton, Andy Griffith and of course John Prine when he still looked like John Prine (before cancer took his chin and most of his lower jaw).it also stars Jim Varney and Kelly Preston, who were both taken too soon by cancer as well. Hard to believe from the 5 leads I mentioned only one, Thornton, is still with us.
Thank you! This made my day.
I love this song. I listen to it 3 or 4 times everytime I run across it. John and Iris are so good together. This is good but there are other versions of them singing this song that I like a little better. Even tho it's a great song, I'm not sure John is allowed to sing it up in heaven. LOL. I'm sure glad he wrote and recorded it before he departed. Miss you John. RIP. Thanks for the post. Ken T.
LOVE IT
I love ❤️ JP. Miss him. Iris is good with him..
This is very good..
Just adorable.
Sweet, awesome, funny, sad...👍🇨🇦😎💘
LUVIT!
Pure Gold
RIP
Songs just don’t get any better than this
wow
“Inspite” is not a word.
I looked up the word "timeless" in the dictionary, and there on the margin, there's a picture of Iris wearing a farm dress just like that one.
americas finest
Now I call That count tree
When was this ?
I heard Iris didn't want to do this song because she was afraid her mother would hear it.

for the love of God!! can you fix the audio and the video to synchronise? This is shit!!! in my mind, IF you fix the audio/video issue, this would be a great video. Thanks
Calm down!!
