I feel exactly the same, and I read so many comments from others who also feel like a good, close friend has tragically died too soon. Such a kind man, such a brilliant songwriter and musician...i have spent the last couple months looking up more concerts and relusteningxto his wonderful music. I was lucky to live near Chicago from 1975 to 1979. Started listening and seeing him frequently in clubs and little folk concerts in 1975. He has been a major part in the soundtrack of my life since then . .. i have lived a musically blessed life in so many ways. I will always be sad that this COVID virus took him away from us in early 2020. None of those of us who loved him were ready to let him go... yet we had to. I cant even imagine the depth of grief of his family and close, close friends...
Dear John, you had all of us in the palm of you hand when you played Toronto's Riverboat in 1971. You were shocked we all knew your lyrics & sung along. Now, all these decades later, you've left us after Covid complicated your Cancer-weakened health in 2020. 4 years later, those whose lives you impacted through your music & lyrics are grateful to have vinyl & CDs to buoy sagging spirits or just to give a smile. We will always love you, handsome Johnny. *I noticed that Fiona moved to FLA, and life has been severely impacted by Hurrucane Helene. I think your soul & spirit was watching over them & kept harm to life & limb at bay.
Just started listening to this fellow. Very accomplished and talented. Very easy to listen for hours. He must have been a down to earth person. This is all our loss. Just know he made a lot of people happy. How many people can do that. RIP. John
Johns passing hit me as if I lost a life long friend. Never before did the passing of any entertainer affect me like this. I actually cry sometimes listening to his music. His music has been part of my life since 1982, and will be till the day comes when I'm reunited with my friends and family on the other side. The first John Prine song I ever heard was Paradise, thanks John....Peace
Saw John in concert, but never got to meet him. I've never been do bummed by the passing of someone who was not a close personal friend! However it felt like he was. I too have been binge listening since his passing!
It was a big hit to have John Prine be taken by Covid. I saw him a number of times over the years and only met him thanks to the meets and greats after the shows. He seemed like such a kind loving person who really appreciated his fans. He will be missed. Thanks to who posted this show.
AWESOME JOHN YOU ARE THE BEST IM SOME HAPPY YOU QUIT THE POST OFFICE!!! GOD BLESS YOU MY GOOD FRIEND YOU LEFT THIS EARTH A LEGEND AND NOW YOUR A LEGEND IN HEAVEN!!! REST IN PEACE JOHN PRINE!!!
I as well am so sad over this. I have been on a John Prime marathon for 3 days now. All I see is he was even more Special than I thought. And that was pretty special. Such a kind and compassionate soul, master storyteller, great musician. I. miss him so much ,R.I.P. John Prime .There's some great musicians in heaven so happy to see you and get down with you😇
I only saw John Prine once, in 2003 when the war with Iraq was being cooked up. I was hoping to hear "Flag Decal," but told myself not to go in with expectations, just take what you get. He opened with "Flag Decal." It was a quiet show, he was humble, did two encores if I remember right. Leon Redbone opened for him - was surprisingly good, also very humble. It was one of the best shows I ever went to. When I heard he was on a ventilator I pretty much knew his prospects were not good, but had a weak hope. He had a good life. We all could do so well. We count our blessings.
RUclips is just the best for keeping John Prine alive for all of us..Happy Thanksgiving..we are VERY thankful for John's wonderful music and lyrics like no other ! John , Enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette & vodka & ginger ale..you earned all your great time in heaven !! We will all be up there with you before you know it !!
I listened to john prine 40 plus years ago, and i still listen to him thank god for you tube!!! Miss you john rest in peace my friend!!! If i make it to heaven the first song i want requested is SAM STONE!!! YOUR A LEGEND YOU MAY BE GONE BUT YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND EVER!!!
The loss of John Prine is a hard blow. We're lucky there are recordings like this. Three favorites of mine, but the first time I've seen JDG (looking good) in short hair!
Just so very Awesome!! Something about the eternal condition of us all streams right thru him...and everyone playing with him have no choice but to become part of that stream as well.
I am very sad that I did not get to see John Prine perform but I did get to see Lyle Lovett (in Cardiff, supporting Mark Knopfler) so to me it's lovely to see them singing together here. Wish I could have seen both....
The first song I heard from him was Sam Stone. At the time I had a habit and a lot of my friends were coming back from Vietnam strung out this song rang very true to us !
Great artists! So sad, and such a great loss. I love everything about John Prine, unfortunately I never got a chance to see him perform. Thank you for posting!!
Thank you very much for posting this show, I had not seen this before, I’ve seen John Prine several times at the Strawberry Music Festival in Calif . We appreciate you sharing this with us fans missing our favorite songwriter and troubadour. He was a generous man with his time with his fans.
Great Post after being Saddened by Johns passing I'm sure Angels are Singing ! Goodness Grace Happiness and good Health ! Great Goodness ! Thanks again
I kinda woulda mentioned Marty Stuart as well. Philip Donnelly, great friend of John, all the way to the end , there was only a few months between their passing , rest easy guys....well maybe not too easy..... I guess there be some raucous fun too. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
He was the last of the acoustic players like Loudon wainwright they started out when I was just 17 years old and there gone .Prine was a true genius .one red rose was my favorite song .
Daphne Randall it’s sad that he’s gone but he left a great legacy. I loved how he almost crossed over into Classic Rock, just check out how Saddle In The Rain builds up and ends, more Rock than country, yet he goes full-on country ballad with Sam Stone and Unwed Fathers, and Philip Donnelly’s guitar solos too, he’s a showman in his own right. Very underrated in my opinion.
9:05 I believe I can say that no guitar player ever had less technique than you see on display here. Goes to show what technique can get you - and what it can't.
It's the heart and natural talent, not the technique, that connects with the listener. Technique can only create the illusion of talent, like a copy of the Mona Lisa.

What a treat to see such a young Lyle Lovett. Extraordinary talent.
THIS IS A BRILLIANT SONG LYLE ALSO IS AN AMAZING SONG WRITER AND AWESOME MUSICIAN!!!
Feel like one of my old pals has died, nobody like John Prine, mailman, soldier, one of the greatest songwriters ever.
Same here. He was the sound track to my life.
@@vivianwatts3557 ditto!!!
@ladywharton
John Prine was a songwriter. I've been an author for most of my life. Words have a way with me...or vice versa. 😂

@@vivianwatts3557 I also am from vvesterm KY and he has never lost that dravvl of home, his music is doubly amazing
We've lost a presence that can never be replaced.
One of the BEST all-time songwriters and performers ever. Like losing a brother.I leaned on my left leg in the parking lot dirt.
Dear John, you had all of us in the palm of you hand when you played Toronto's Riverboat in 1971. You were shocked we all knew your lyrics & sung along.

*I noticed that Fiona moved to FLA, and life has been severely impacted by Hurrucane Helene. I think your soul & spirit was watching over them & kept harm to life & limb at bay.
A true treasure! So grateful the recording exits so we can keep enjoying this gift to music.
I JUST LUV THIS SONG JOHN WAS A BRILLIANT SONG WRITER AND ONE FINE PERFORMER!!!
What a gift to see this performance when was a young man. Delightful. What a gift to the world!
Been with John, Steve Goodman since 1970.. Thank GOD for the music you left us. Rest in Peace.
After God made John Prine He broke the mold. Thanks John for what you added to the world....RIP.
After a year, I can finally watch him sing without crying.
Still hard. Miss this soul.
Just started listening to this fellow. Very accomplished and talented. Very easy to listen for hours. He must have been a down to earth person. This is all our loss. Just know he made a lot of people happy. How many people can do that. RIP. John
Nothing like prime Prine and early Lyle L. Thanks for the posting of this!

Amen my friend, Amen
JOHN BEAT THE DREADED CANCER TWICE THEN PASSED AWAY WITH COMPLICATIONS FROM THE DAMN COVID!!! EXCUSE THE LANGUAGE!!!

I saw him in a couple of small venues. It's hard to get used to him being gone.
It's a happy enchilada that gets to listen to this music.
I think most of us Veterans, no matter what our experiences are, have to think of the past when hearing Sam Stone.
AWESOME JOHN YOU ARE THE BEST IM SOME HAPPY YOU QUIT THE POST OFFICE!!! GOD BLESS YOU MY GOOD FRIEND YOU LEFT THIS EARTH A LEGEND AND NOW YOUR A LEGEND IN HEAVEN!!! REST IN PEACE JOHN PRINE!!!
Love this Man Like No Other. Truly Brilliant and Forever in Our Hearts.

He was an American Treasure. Thank you Mr. Prine.
LYLE IS ANOTHER AMAZING MUSICIAN I JUST LUV HIS MUSIC WTG LYLE AWESOME!!!
Anyone else think there's a HELL of a party in heaven. CANT wait to see it!!
I saw John Prine last century in Anchorage, AK. Sure glad I did. I think this is one of his best concerts. RIP our friend.
Just so very Awesome!! Something about the eternal condition of us all streams right thru him...and everyone playing with him have no choice but to become part of that stream as well.
What a treat stumbling upon this has been...
Sweet songs don't Last to long on broken radios.
One of my favorite songs @ 17:45 "The speed of the sound of loneliness".
I am very sad that I did not get to see John Prine perform but I did get to see Lyle Lovett (in Cardiff, supporting Mark Knopfler) so to me it's lovely to see them singing together here. Wish I could have seen both....
Too Cool.
Oh by the way, Marty Stuart on Mandolin.
Ron Jeremy on guitar as well !
Just a side note of a side man, right?
The first song I heard from him was Sam Stone. At the time I had a habit and a lot of my friends were coming back from Vietnam strung out this song rang very true to us !

Don Imus use to refer to the mandolin player as "pretty little Marty Stewart"
Thanks for posting!!!
Just watched a 2019 Marty Stuart / John Prine concert here on youtube…..I didn't know they went that far back...
RIP JP.
Another. Great singer songwriter we have lost. It is sad to hear losses like that. That's my era never forgotten. Ireland
Lucky we were smart ones and bought all their records & will have them in hearts & minds for ever
Best singer and songwriter to have walked this earth
I love this.. God Bless John Prine!
Great Post after being Saddened by Johns passing I'm sure Angels are Singing ! Goodness Grace Happiness and good Health ! Great Goodness ! Thanks again
The only person I have lost to Covid, but what a loss for me and the world.
Classic! May you Rest In Peace Mr. Prine! May Rest In Peace.
You n I r sort of brothers, York mother n myne dried wash in the same sun , love you forever sad Croatian,R I P.
John Prine - Kris Kristofferson, - Rodney Crowell - the greatest writers of fine music and verses that make sense.
add dylan / garcia/ hunter / jackson browne to name a few
Need to include Guy Clark amongst the great writers.
lets not forget Townes...
And Warren Zevon!
Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Butch Hancock
John is great in this video! Bye John you are missed! RIP
We had him for a bit, now heaven gets him. Seems only fair after all.
Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Blaze Foley, = Heaven.
Tip of the hat to Jimmie Dale Gilmore's cover of
Townes Van Zandt's White Freight Liner Blues.
If those 3 guys aren't there I don't want to go.
I kinda woulda mentioned Marty Stuart as well.
Philip Donnelly, great friend of John, all the way to the end , there was only a few months between their passing , rest easy guys....well maybe not too easy..... I guess there be some raucous fun too. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Marty is a great entertainer so is Lyle . A bunch of great talent on that stage .
@@tomcooley3778 👍👌
J P,s God-given talent to touch our souls is untouchable..."Hmmm Hmmm mmm mmm"......!
I agree with FunkyMarcel.. Some people should get a pass on dyin...Love you, John, thank you over and over for your grace and every word.
today , we are all cowboys out on the Ocean ....
He was the last of the acoustic players like Loudon wainwright they started out when I was just 17 years old and there gone .Prine was a true genius .one red rose was my favorite song .
the duett with his wife was just sublime
Did anyone mention Marty Stewart up there? Thats pretty cool, I didnt know they had songs together
Wow, great show!
So real! My God! John Prine was SO real! AND I don't think there could have been a really mean bone in his entire body.
Love Lyle , such a hear felt man
I love Lyle 💘 also and am glad to know that John Prine considered him one of the BEST SONGWRITERS in the country.
I doesn't get any better!
Thanks for posting. I first saw this show when it aired and it introduced me to John Prine.
Lee H Lucky you🌹

Look up the word 'authentic' and what do you see? Oh! My God! That's a picture of John Prime! !
Marty Stewart also in the frontline on the stage.
He was the greatest.
Thanks for this show. The Base Player is Hot
She's John's 1st wife.
This should have more views! Wow! 😍😍
RIP John Prine
It's a crime to put ads in the middle of such beautiful songs. Put as many as you like in the beginning. It's just not fair.
Good lord, that hair
WOW!!!!

And I think that’s the great Marty Stuart on mandolin...
It is ☺
Salt of the Earth. Lyle, too.
Just a Wave, Not the Water
Happy Enchilada!!!! xoxoxo
Caught that!
Sure glad you didn't choke on that gum, John. Love ya.
54:31 "Over the line! Mark it zero, Dude."
So it's Phillip Donnelly on lead guitar, Marty Stuart on mandolin, Rachel Peer on bass. Who else is in the band?
Tony Newman on drums and Percy Robinson on Pedal Steel
Had to be Marty with all that hair.
Rich Diana Rachel Peer puts him to shame single handily keeping aqua net in business. 😀
Phillip Donnelly (rip) “The Clontarf Cowboy “
Martin Nolan on keyboard
Who was the set of legs with the angelic voice?
Lyle and Marty were the kings of hair back in them days
She was his wife at the time.
ralph crosby her first name is Rachel. They were married at the time.
She's also a talented bass player and vocalist!
yeah even younger lyle had his hair piled up so high and curls tumbling down
@@dianethornhill3651 Rachel Peer. But if this was really recorded in 1989, they were already divorced

I thought JDG was born with long gray hair..
Wow look at Marty Stuart
So that's what sideshow Bob did before joining the Simpsons 🤔
BTW... Lyle is a gentleman.. amazingly I saw him recently with hair combed back flat... Soooo different.
22:35 wearing headphones. My ears left for Texas.
Blow up the TV. Nuff said.
Marty Stuart as well, on mandolin. Anybody know who the chick is on bass?
Anybody catch the cellist's name?
His name is John Hagan. Lyle mentions it three times in the course of the video.
Is this available on dvd
No Jimmie dale Gilmore? But you promised.
I think it's in the last part of the video
What happened to Rachel Peer
They divorced.
Wait. That's Marty Stuart!
Who is the guitarist playing with Jimmy Dale Gilmore? The guy is amazing!
who is the lady?
His second wife Rachel Peer
John Says, "My wife Rachael Peer" . It's his second of three wives.
His wife Rachel Peer.
