Classic John Prine performing "Happy Enchilada"... formerly known as "That's the way that the world goes round". Convocation Hall, Sackville, NB. May 12, 2017. If you love John Prine, and who doesn't really? You'll enjoy this performance.
I agree with you...It is a shame that this great man is almost unheard of in the mainstream. They could use a man like him... Especially now brother... Ol Sarge...
@@agod5608 Well.... You have a 2nd chance! Easily, for a start, because of so much of his wonderful music is available on many You Tubes. I was introduced to him by a friend since school, a vet and the godfather of our only son. It was "Sam Stone," years ago, then, "I Remember Everything." Every piece has been, and still is, a favorite, for his musical talent and his humor, too. You won't be disappointed. Best wishes for happy listening and viewing. @NotMeUs
It actually upsets me that anyone could possibly give anything "John Prine" a thumbs down. Big freakin' thumbs up from me. Lucky me has seen John perform live, twice. He's such a funny guy. I would love to burn one with John Prine too.
I know! "Thumbs down?" What's up with that? Wish I'd seen him live. We had tickets for the summer of 2019, but he took a couple of weeks off the tour for surgery, and had to reschedule the show. Then Covid hit, and then he up and died. Rest in Music, John.
I am a Dylan, Neil Young, child of the 60's fan. Go back further. You name it in music terms. Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives, Pete Seeger...I have only just discovered this Gentleman since he passed away. I have some catching up to do. How did I miss this ? A wonderful man, with the anecdotes. Thank you John Prine.
The same for me. I had heard of him because my mom really loved his music. When he passed away I listened to one of his songs and I was like "Wow!" I'm a big Miranda Lambert fan too but didn't realize she had done any of John's songs. He was a class act all the way. Absolutely precious.
JP was more than a singer-songwriter. He was the Everyman poet laureate, a MarkTwain-level humorist and a bonafide American national treasure. The pandemic robbed us of a few years more of his unvarnished brilliance.
John was always a great story teller right from his early days as a musician. Those same words created story songs that we all enjoy. And that famous strum. Oh how I miss him. R.I.P. John. Thanks for this treasure, Tommy.
As heartbroken as when my dog died, it feels so deeply painful. All he ever wanted to do was make us laugh 'in spite of ourselves.' I'm writing a lot since he went away and calling it, John Prine and Corona. I think he'd like being attached to a wo-man with such a pretty name. Enjoy heaven, John, and thanks for being our friend all these years.
It’s hard to watch these Prine clips. Like many people I had seen him many times and now just to know he’s gone is so hard. JP stuck around longer than most. But I can’t watch or listen without getting weepy. God Bless John Prine.
@@karenstepp669 Then you obviously never heard "Flag Decal" his antiwar song. He wrote it during the Vietnam War (he served in Germany) and then retired it for about 30 years. He broke it out in recent years during Iraq, it is a masterpiece of an antiwar song. Listen to his live version so you can hear about his postal days. XXOO
Saw John twice in my lifetime. So enjoyed both times. I left the CCU early to go see Him. Told the Dr. "you have to let me out...........have tickets for John Prine tonight. " Hahahahaha...so glad I went. HE WAS SUPER GREAT. That was in 2003.............still enjoying Him R.I.P. Mr. Prine.
Tears swell up in my eyes when John sings and tells lovely stories. My dad raised me on John Prine, going fishing, playing cards, drinking, I'd say John Prine was high in them ranks and forever will be...The man can not be diluted.
How privileged we all are to have lived in his time. A unique, gifted song writer and story teller, that performs like he's siting round the kitchen table with a few buddy's. Tears, grateful joy, and sadness are the emotions felt now to your music, but thank god we'll always have your music. RIP John 🙏,from Ireland. 💚.
miss ya john, i do. saw ya play austin just before ya went to that great gig in the sky. worst. POSSIBLE. seat. what a show. you are missed, my friend. thank you john , for everything you gave us.
John Prine Would laugh at a thumbs down vote, he'd say I know my singing voice before the throat cancer surgery and after. The surgery didn't improve my singing voice. We loved John for the stories he told us. Not everyone likes John but for those of us who do a big.Thumbs Up.
Absolute best guitar method and story teller on the face of the earth. Thank you, John... See you when we shake God's hand...Ol Sarge...(and get a swell hotel room)...
Oh, Caleb. I'm sorry. I'm with you. I miss him so much too. His sudden covid illness & passing was devastating and was also around many other devastating things that month for me & my family--plus worse stuff later in the year. I couldn't get over being so knocked down by John's passing so suddenly (after just seeing him in November!). I was able to start listening again recently as just listening (not part of grief processing). Feeling good to enjoy again and I think I just need to know that these songs now have that added element of poignant loss. It's okay, that's the way the world goes round.
In beauty, had the privilege of listening to this fine man for an hour and 20 minutes In Farmington NM in 76 or 77... He played a 1500 seat venue. He was on a rocky mtn "tour" Found out he was playing the same night he played?! No advertising, no radio stations even played his incredible music!!? Maybe 30 or 40 people finally stagger in .. He come out set down at the piano and played till I cried! Never again will this happen,😢 He set down played his opening song finished, turned to the "crowd" and said if no more than two of you came to hear my music, I would play! Go in Beauty!!
I am so glad that I got to see John in Philadelphia on his last tour. The show was great and then we lost him. He was an American Treasure. I just wish that I had found his music earlier in my life.
I'm almost sure there's a version of this story where she says, you know, happy enchilada, and he says, oh yeah, I'm glad you liked the words. Of course, he always meant it in the best possible way. And am I wrong but isn't that look up between 2:00 and 2:20 just pure joy?
I never saw him live but have listened to his music for many years and now I have introduced my kids to his music. This brings joy to me watching them listening to his music
Steve Ellis900 --- I repeat your comment as mine was. Greetings from Chile .... It happened to me and I feel the same as your person ... And all thanks to John Prine for his music / poetry and prophecy based on the human being !!!! "" "" "I'm a Dylan, Neil Young, son of the 60s fan. Go back further. You name him in musical terms.

Thank you John Prine "" "" "". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Ellis900 --- Repito tú comentario tal y cual fuera el mio.. Saludos desde chile.... Me sucedio y siento lo mismo que tu persona... Y todo gracias a John Prine por su música/poesía y profecia en función del ser humano!!!!

Acabo de descubrir a este caballero desde que falleció. Tengo que ponerme al día. ¿Cómo me perdí esto? Un hombre maravilloso, con las anécdotas. Gracias John Prine"""""".
I see 31 thumbs down. Now we know there are at least 31 scum bags on the planet!!! We are lucky to have had John prine in our lives!!! We love you John!!!
They aren’t scumbags, they just aren’t as enlightened to enjoy the finer things in life as you and I, Lottie! I feel kinda sorry for them, frankly, on all the joy that they must be missing out on.
