@@kirkstrickland8029 Enjoying any form of art, and or partaking in art has been proven to be great therapy, and help healing. No one goes unscathed huh?
My brother and I were lucky enough to be at this one. John's flight was delayed so a few bands played early to make sure he had a slot to play. I mean, who wouldn't agree to play before John? We listened arm and arm for the whole show, a few tears and all. Sure wish we could do it again.
hi :) i think i met you and your brother:) oh canada? you or your brother was wearing a montreal expos ball cap????, i am hoping to get back, you guys going this year????
Playing in St. Johns. Newfoundland May 8 & 9th, 2017, Couldn't get a set of tickets. One of the all time greats. There isn't nobody in NL that wouldn't recognize a John Prine tune, from 15yrs old to 75 they still listen! Something to be said for that.
been listening to his songs since i first learned of him from my brother steven in 1972. everytime i see/hear him live, it is like the first time i have heard the song, and feeling of being in the presence of something very special. hsb is an amazing event..... thanks for getting john prine to come, and thanks to mr. o'donnell for sharing this show with us. what a conversation it would have been if john prine and samuel clemens had a beer together.....
God bless this kitchen, spend the night with me. Dont you know the whole sidewalk, six feet apart from me, thank you too, working, Steve Goodman, everybody knows that

"That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round" I know a guy that's got a lot to lose. He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. Thinks he own half of this town. Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose. Beats his old lady with a rubber hose, Then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes. That's the way that the world goes 'round. That's the way that the world goes 'round. You're up one day and the next you're down. It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round. I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes, When the radiator broke, water all froze. I got stuck in the ice without my clothes, Naked as the eyes of a clown. I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak, When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke. I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke That's the way that the world goes 'round.
Thats so remarkable,only found John a year ago can't get enough of his tunes ...Don't be stuck up in Alaska when ye should be in Nebraska on a Thursday when it's egg& daughter night !!priceless suppose that's one form of been reborn!his music is in circulation now more than when this great man was alive and kicking .....
"Acid Bluegrass"? Wow..Where do you live dude? Nobody I know EVER used that term.and I was a fan from practically day one. Maybe you were a refugee from traveling deadhead caravans? Lol
I'm a rock guitar player. My influences are Garry Moore, Joe Satch, jimmy page,ect... knowing John is sick makes me sick. What a treasure. I've stolen so many songs from him. Maybe even said they were mine. Get better ,you've done it before,you'll do it again. Love and prayers

Saw John a little over a year ago in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Great show. He brings you into the show, knows how to work a crowd. I love the guy and glad I had an opportunity to see him. I'll go again if/when he comes around.
I really think John lucked out his band with him is perfect I really like the Young man on the mouth harp he is very professional and exacting. Keep on playing Mr. Prine your fans love you more then you know wishing you a happy Christmas.
Okay John O'Donnell, what the heck happened at 21:00? Cut off Grandpa Was A Carpenter AND Hello In There!! Was there anything in between those? I mean, seeing John Prine still doin' it after the surgery and all, standing on his two feet and singing, enjoy seeing the video. John made his first record while I was in the Army stationed in Alaska and have listened to him every since. He is in a class of his own. You either love him or you don't. One of the many things I have not found myself in the right place to be to go see this unique individual do a show. Listening to this man is one of the reasons my spirit is as a shadow in the wind. Aw Heck!
you must be talking about "Hello In There" ... Yeah, I used to feel a little pitty for old folks when I heard this song --- now I am one. Shit happens. Can't all be like James Dean.
Derek from Shreveport and I shared one thing until relatively recently - I never really paid attention to John Prine or his music (yeah - I loved Bonnie Raitt's version of "Angel of Montgomery" ...) during most of his career. Just about the same time that Derek was driving John and Fiona to the Waffle House I started watching his videos here on YT. But I never made it to one of John's shows. I'd give a LOT to switch places with Derek for that short evening's drive - and suspect that ol' Derek was better for the encounter (and likely became a fan - just as I did). I wish I'd come to appreciate his music sooner. But I'm blessed to be able to listen to his music whenever I want right now. What a time we live in ...
I can't believe he's still using that Dean Markley pickup - he's probably the only artist out there who never took it out or just used it as a back up. Sounds good anyway!
That's a fact, Jack...that's Pat McLaughlin. Do yourself a solid & seek out more of his videos... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-305RFwP7B0k.html
Great concert, however, must say , the mandolin player is a huge distraction. Stand still and adjust your pants so your package doesn't show through. RIP John and know there will never be another you.
Gibson should be ashamed of themselves for those terrible pickups they install in those very expensive jumbo acoustics. I could tell when John put down the Martin and picked up that SJ200 - quack, quack, quack
***** Not sure if you play or not, but Gibsons are known to have less than the optimum built-in pickups which is one reason Jackson Browne specified a certain system in his "Artist Model".
Not arguing that. Somebody must like the sound or Gibson would not be in business and people would not buy the music that comes out of them by the artists that use them. John Prines words; Say you drive a Chevy, say you drive a Ford. If you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em! Are you selling as many records as this man that plays that Gibson?
John only useses the different guitars because since his cancer he has to sing in a lower key and he can't be tuning up there all the time. The Gibson is a cool choice.
