When someone invents a time machine I know exactly when it should be channeled to change history. I cannot really believe that John Prine is no longer on this earth. The essence of spirit of kindness and joy of humanity encapsulated in one man.
They look like they are having a wonderful time doing this song. Two old friends who genuinely like one another. Embrace the moment it just doesn't get much better.
As a 74 year old, once folk-singer turned nightclub entertainer turned 'entertainer' for (even older) elders, I appreciate their humor, comaraderie, innocence, sweetness --and natural appearance: nuttin' "put on" here. And takes lots of experience to pull it off, with such ease and grace. Good Stuff.
Your good post got me thinking again (at 82) about John coming up from the audience to join Iris at the end of her last show of that last night of the 2011 Galway Art Festival. What an special encore, "In Spite of Ourselves," for the over-the-top enthusiastic crowd, who hooted and hollered, knew all the lines and sang along with them! The natural poet had outdone himself again with "nuttin 'put on' here" just as you described. And, "Good Stuff"--the "humor, camaraderie, innocence and sweetness" sure was there, too, as always, with such lines as, "Honey, we're the big door prize!" June 13, 2021 now...more than a year since April 7, 2020...when COVID...fed to our nation as "a HOAX"...sadly took John Prine, too.
What a pair. One of the most amusing songs I've ever heard. Iris DeMent clearly "owns" this song. I get the feeling that if either of them forgot the lyrics - the crowd would just chime right up and get them back on track. Thank You Both. They're both so cute together.
A classic Prine and DeMent song. They sing it so well together. I can see they are enjoying singing it together as much as I am enjoying seeing them sing it together.
..........Beautiful smiles to go with their big O hearts.......and now.....I've a big beautiful smile to match....life...what a journey we get to experience....if.....we can be humble. Thanks Iris n John. 💕
By the time this video was shot John must have played this song a 1,000 times and he was fighting cancer, but he's smiling and laughing during the song like he's doing it for the first time. Love it (and Iris of course)
Philipo Pruesse for sure, the so called ‘mainstream’ pop music scene has no melody or sensible story to tell. if you isolate the ‘music’ from the ‘singing’ the sound is awful
Special I have loved these two forever they played here in Ireland just knowing that warms the cockles in my heart loved the way the audience joined in at the end......Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem. ...
Iris Dement, gotta love a lady with a sense of humor. John Prine wrote so many great songs that ran the gamut of many emotions. RIP Mr. Prine, taken from us by this China Virus in 2020.
@Gus VanHorn No, he didn't invent the virus, just disregarded it, then chose to scapegoat and pass the blame on its aftermath; demonizing Wuhan and China the same way he's always done when he fails. It's NEVER him...and you Gus, will eagerly oblige...It's time for the next John Prine song: "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore."
@@fenwayifywhere did Gus go, he scrubbed his post, good for calling the BS out, you nailed it, please nail it come this Roe-vember, Kamala, Walz to restore joy in us.
If you could bottle like, then I have a whole huge bottle of like for this vid. thanks gafrv for this. PS, I think Prine and I are about the same age now, not certain if we always were, though. Damn old postman--- Kristofferson shares the blame for discovering him
That's a RUclips treasure! His eyes sing along with his voice (and HEART!) John's lyrics describe how love works out here in the real world...here in the HEARTland, not only in America, but as this comment section demonstrates, from throughout the world. Shows the cleverness and genius of John Prine. And one of his best came late in his career. We thought we had our Top Ten lists all set, but along comes this one and it has to be on it. I mean, did you hear that audience singing along? How often does that happen, and in an impromptu performance? And Iris shows why she's such a great duet partner for Prine. What a team, what a song! That's our BIiG door prize! •Sticks-of-TNT •Sent from my iCave
Thanks to Steven Colbet, I found John Prine. Through John Prine I found Iris. I couldn't be happier. Play their music all the time now. There's just something about this song that's visceral to me. I've played this song so many times, but this is the first I saw this video and how the crowd interacts with them. Needed to wipe my eyes to see the whole video.
love this tune, been in a local club when this tune came on the jukebox and everybody would join in. never gonna let it go! thanks John and Iris for a great memory
Iv'e always loved John prine ever since a guy played a record called paradise I love his singing and playing on that song. When I that John prune died from the co vid 19 virus He was a great player and singer my prayers go out to his wife and family we will all miss him He was the Greatest.
We saw them together in Vegas December 2014. They both sounded great. We actually set our honeymoon around the concert date. So glad we got to see him.
Two iconic treasures spinning the tales of everyday rural America.
THIS will never, ever, ever get old. An absolute musical gem for the ages.

That's about as well said of John as anything I've ever read or heard about him.

R.I.P John Prine, thank you for the great music you left for us.
What a pair. One of the most amusing songs I've ever heard. Iris DeMent clearly "owns" this song. I get the feeling that if either of them forgot the lyrics - the crowd would just chime right up and get them back on track. Thank You Both. They're both so cute together.
This is the definitive duo for this song. I love them both. R.I.P John Prine.
Thanks, Fred
Regardless how old we all get, Iris is SO beautiful. (John too)
A classic Prine and DeMent song. They sing it so well together. I can see they are enjoying singing it together as much as I am enjoying seeing them sing it together.
Two precious people !

Yes. ❤
look at the smile on Johns face , when Iris starts singing... Says it all for me.
not much flash, no pyrotechniques, no fake build up, just talent and class✅😎✌️👍
So true. All that dancing around and stage show for mainstream popular music is mainly to cover up the mediocre melodies and ordinary singing
Philipo Pruesse for sure, the so called ‘mainstream’ pop music scene has no melody or sensible story to tell. if you isolate the ‘music’ from the ‘singing’ the sound is awful
The audience is joining in. I'm crying now.
Love this song it makes me smile from ear to ear👏😄

It's one thirty six 02142020. I'm 73 years old and i think I've just set off on a John Prine listening Fest!
Two of the best, can't get enough.

Fundamentals of great music.......raw talent....RIP...JP...❤️🔥🇮🇪
This has left a big ole heart dancing in my eyes!
Fantastic song and an even more fantastic performance! Love both of these unique and outstanding performers!
Two of the BEST!
Just found this incredible! Two icons together
Loved it, the song, the playing, the warmth and humour from the singers and the appreciation from the audience, brilliant, thank you for posting
Thank you
Love this song more and more every time I hear it.
Obviously the definitive version. Thank you for the upload. RIP John Prine

@@johac7637 Alas, poor Gus has vanished into the ether...Now, 4 years later, we face another reckoning and finding the truth seems ever elusive...
Thanks for this upload, laughing through the tears, sleep well John....
A treasure, pure and simple. Thanks for posting.
I like the way the crowd really got into this song without really interfering with John & Iris.
That's what the Irish do at concerts, God love 'em!
I've been binging John recently and never seen him smile so much as in this video. Such a loss for this world :(
A match truly made in heaven. Both unique and authentic, thanks for posting!
Thanks, Clarence
this shows how much fun you can have with a guitar and a few words!!!!!
I love her voice! ☺️
Big love to both Iris and John the UK - the odd blip only makes it more endearing, and great when the crowd come in
Great performers and what a great song.
how can you not love these two
This is spectacular. So much pure fun!
Thanks AHC

I’m going to miss that guy. That’s a great duet.
I smile when I watch this video and that's a good thing

Just pure magic. Sadly John is no longer with us. Great to have these videos though. His songs will live forever. Gerry Farry
The two best singers ever. together. It doesn't get better than this!!!!

these two together
Real country...John's a treasure.
oh how I wish I was there! how fun!
wow! priceless.
Thanks Mike
Ive fallen in Love with Iris. Unusual voice but the more you hear her sing the better she gets. This song is so funny. They compliment each other.
Check out her duet with Delbert McClinton Trouble
@@lindastokes5589 It's probably good, but I doubt it's as funny, clever and as readily identified with as "In Spite Of Ourselves".
@@4orrcountry You're right, not really as funny but, if you like Iris it is something to listen to.
I love Iris Dement.
I love to hear Iris. It takes me to Tennessee and see my wife’s kin. Her cousin sings like Iris..family reunions are great

Love this song, love John and love Iris ❤️
Story is when John asked her to record it Fiona said to her " read the lyrics first "...
Makes me smile every time I watch this!
Great song and they obviously had fun. He picked well on someone else's guitar... I love both these artists.
RIP John Prine.... he's sitting on his rainbow now playing his songs for heaven.
A REAL love song.
I love her :)
This song is so endearing... poets can get away with this...and always must...
Wow what can l say amazing
This makes me smile every time.
Two of the best, we're ever likely to see in our lives.
we are listening to greatness.
****I Love Her Singing Voice...

Talk about a "SHOW STOPPER " ...............REAL Talent in the RAW. Loved John & Iris. Bless them Both.
Instantly, hands on hips.
Hahaha.
You're one in two million, Iris.
'The Leftovers' brought me to ya.
Just sweet thanks
