In 1975 I had a date, this girl took me to her apartment. She played some JP, I had never heard him before. That night I fell in love. ...with John Prine.
@@franklange7692 Please try to be more kind. John Prine was kind. He's a good example. Be more like John Prine. Your life will improve immensely, guaranteed.
"Dear Abby" was the song my then husband used to introduce me to JP. My John is gone and so is John Prine. That is the way the world goes round. In an instant.
I have choked back tears all day thinking of the loss of John. I loved his songs, his spirit, his incredible mind and sense of humor. He carried me through many difficult times in my life. I have learned every song of his on my guitar and wish more than anything else, I could sing like him. My deepest condolences to Fiona and his kids. He was a true legend and treasure. Can't wait to meet you one day at the Tree of Forgiveness.
Being older n ‘ a god I can see The Summerlands from here. We’ll be settin’ under a tree, drinking happy wine, smoke in the air; pickin’ n’ singin’, laughin’ n’ weepin’, and Oh That Picnik basket. Hasta la vista friends.
You can't sing like John Prine, and neither can I. But you can sing his songs, and when you do it's like John isn't really gone, at least for a little while. Please keep singing.
Went through a rough period in 2005 after losing my dad. My first girlfriends best friends dad introduced me to John Prine. This and so many other songs of his helped clear my mind and I will ever be grateful!
me too ! same timescale. his geniality and sense of the absurd shine through here. I was next door to his house in the wilds of Connemara shore her in Ireland a month ago. pretty garden.
Wow, I'm not alone. A friend sent me a RUclips of 'Orange Blossom' about 8 months ago, I was floored. Still trying to figure out how in gods name I hadn't realised or found what I now consider one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. I was never as devasted by an artists death, like I had known him. Have not stopped listening to him. RIP John, Your music will live forever, bless your Soul, from Ireland.💚🇺🇸🇮🇪.
My parents introduced me to this song as a kid but I had never seen this performance. Truly one of the greatest songwriters in american history. If this is the end john, thank you so much for this music that has been helping me get thru these dark, absurd times 🙏
Every time I need more positive things in my day I’ll listen to some John Prine songs. This clip is one of the ones on my list. He left us too soon but thank God for his words/music and videos, like this one filmed around the kitchen table. It Always makes me smile. RIP JP….❤
I was familiar with Paradise and Spanish Pipedream. When I heard he died I started to listed to Great Days which had but never opened. Wow. I too had no idea how great he was. The world does need music like this. Dylan Fogerty Petty love them all but Prine is now my favorite.
274 comments only? That makes me afraid for my kids and Grandkids. I am 275. A couple of whiskeys with a couple of beers back and the next thing you know everybody is half ploughed and lost thier smokes...but not thier picks. If I could only travel back in time. R.I.P. John, Steve - Mr. Van Zant and the rest...there are to many to count.
My old man thinks thumbing down means your done watching . He's an old vet can't tell him $*#@! . Lmao one day they will be gone no one alive before the digital age, woah !
We all love you John. Thank you for leaving your legacy for us all on this planet. We know you love us too. Enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette up there ol buddy.
Yep, or when Faulkner flogged the Poms at cricket. It's a race. John wasn't part of my Aussie upbringing, but is sure part of my life now. Feelin down, have a cry, Get up again. Best not to smoke though.
When one of my sons was very small, maybe 3 or 4, he would always ask me to play the mountain rocks song whenever I put on a John Prine album in the car.What he wanted was Fish and Whistle. He heard "monkey wrench" as "mountain rocks". He is a 17 year old musician himself now and at a party last week brought the house down with great versions of several of John's songs like Bruised Orange and Speed of the Sound of Loneliness.
Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Steve Goodman, JJ Cale and John Prine - My 5 favorite songwriters ever. I'm sure there are more great ones out there - just never found any of this caliber.
What a warm funny human person he was. I love videos like this showing his normal personality just talking with friends cause you see what he was truly like and know how great a person he was.
That's making music! Natural and confident. *Smirks..."Jim, do you "know" which way the world goes 'round". I'm going to play this again...hell maybe a few more times.
Holy moly, this looks just like my (late) mom’s kitchen back in the 70’s with the same phone on the wall, behind him. She always had many friends and family over. We would sing all night around the kitchen table while she and one or two others, would play guitar. also, i love the harmony someone tossed in there.
From the bottom of my heart thank you for uploading this video , I’ve watched it constantly since I was very young and it’s never failed to make me happy
Great video... thanks for posting this. Some people say John wasn't a very good player, to which I agree, he was a MASTERFUL player! No one has nor will ever make 3 simple chords sound so freakin good.
The joke about sounding all the same is a joke if make to my musician friends. This video is beautiful. It's John surrounded by friends and it makes me happy
Terrific! This really captures John in a very relaxed frame of mind, and all present seem to be having a wonderful time. I only wish he had sung the burrito song.
Just wanted to give you a very late thank you for posting this. Unfortunately I only really got to know John Prine after his death during all the early covid lockdown stuff, but like a lot of people fell in love with his music very hard very fast. There is just something about him and his music that is hard to put into words, but you can just feel it really deep, like a massage or a hug for your soul, that just makes you feel like you're not alone.
I could just imagine siting and playing songs with him like that around a kitchen table . In fact i would love to be doing it right now because that would mean he was still with us
Thanks for the Post... Sure do miss John Prine , if he only knew how much he influenced my song writing and picking style... doing mostly singles know I get a lot of John Prine requests so thanks brother... love you and miss you.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY✝️🙏😎🎸🎶🎼
Reminds me of old times sittin round the kitchen table playing music with people we loved after most everyone else passed out. It was usually around 4 AM and drinkin the beer we hid in the river and home made wine that 3 kittens nearly drowned in.... long story but basically the cats were drunk and all the stores were closed, I guess that's the way the world goes round.
That's the John Prine I remember from seeing him in concert in the late 70s/early 80s- needing the occasional prod about how the song or next verse starts.
If Mr Prine was ever "arrogant" it was in this recording...and only because Jim obviously didn't understand his place. This is a favorite on the fact that it's in the moment,raw and had a natural catanse that's pretty complex. John Prine in his element. Priceless
My favorite prine clip...its my birthday, March 30th...but john won't see another one... joe diffie yesterday, and prine will be gone before the week ends....god speed john.....one of the greats....
Love Prine and love this video! Wish folks would take the beginning with a grain of salt. I am sure it was no more than one one friend busting another friends balls. Prine sure didn't seem to care.
Cole Locke yes! There’s another video of him in an interview or just an intro for a song, I forget, but he openly says I can only really play two melodies; fast and slow haha.

"That's my wedding ring. Gets in the way sometimes.". John Prine is a national treasure.....
I love this guy so much. I've never been effected by any singer like I have by John Prine since I discovered him around four months ago.
me too ! same timescale. his geniality and sense of the absurd shine through here. I was next door to his house in the wilds of Connemara shore her in Ireland a month ago. pretty garden.

A few years ago for me... but yeah, me too...
I think it was around 1982 i first heard him. He got me thru some really bad times. He was there in the good times. I am really gonna miss him.
Amazing! The exact same timing and same thing. JP is the greatest. How did I miss him all those years?? Better late than never, I guess.
“That’s my wedding ring. Gets in the way sometimes”
That makes me smile everytime
The Johnny Carson theme too...
I can't hear John Prine music...without thinking about my dear Brother-in-Law...Tom Mitchell...RIP Tom...we here you loud and clear!
Cheers to TOM ! Cheer and may he smile on you today
one of my favourite moments, he comes across as such a warm, funny person… I’m glad I got to know him through his music 💙
I came to this video to speak. This one hurts me hard. RIP John. You will be missed by many
I lost my sweet , talented son Tim.. incredible songwriter, musician..Transit,Cold Collective, Off&On..wishing I had introduced him to John earlier..
My parents introduced me to this song as a kid but I had never seen this performance. Truly one of the greatest songwriters in american history. If this is the end john, thank you so much for this music that has been helping me get thru these dark, absurd times 🙏
God speed john prine....
Bought every album, saw live twice, my bucket list complete. Thanks for a lifetime of fantastic music... Diamond in the Rough
"All these songs are alike"... too right they are, no one else compares. The best there is.
Every time I need more positive things in my day I’ll listen to some John Prine songs. This clip is one of the ones on my list. He left us too soon but thank God for his words/music and videos, like this one filmed around the kitchen table. It Always makes me smile. RIP JP….❤
Awwwwww he is SO YOUNG 🥰
Such a Nice touch… Enchiladas

There is no better
The Mark Twain of Music.. still shocked by John's passing 😢

I’m crying ice cubes but I guess that’s the way the world goes round. RIP John Prine.
I find it hard to believe that anyone would dislike this.
I'm chalking it up to an accidental slip of their clicker.

Had to be
Ah Hell I'm still trying to forget 1966, 1967, 1969
Y2K.
It's rare to see genius so up close and natural.
That's why I love being a musician! So many wonderful people out here....and I'm in good company... :)
We all love you John. Thank you for leaving your legacy for us all on this planet. We know you love us too. Enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette up there ol buddy.
With ginger ale and vodka to drink. He left us so much.
Flew from lax to Dublin to see him for the weekend to prove a point my girlfriend pissed me off worth it.
Whenever I’m having a bad day or I feel down, I always come back to this video. Thanks again John!

Shane McGowan (The Pogues)
Can I throw in John Hartford, too? You have great taste in music, my friend!
Here's the thing. I know the feeling. Pure love of this one.
I'm so blessed to have grown up in the 60's-70's with all the great variations of great music and musicians.
Love this. the John I first met and remember... and then he never ever changed through the decades.
Reminds me of long summer fishing with my old man when I was a kid.... forever have a place in my heart.
It says older males that's most popular to this song. I'm 21, ever since my dad let me listen to it, and it plays in my head over and over.
Thanks for the millions of memories you left us John.

@@adamlaxmusic Anybody that would make that joke is either a shitty songwriter, as must be his friends, or simply a douchebag.
really old stuff still makes me smile really love his music
Rest in peace John Prine. That's the way the world goes round.
love this clip cuz it’s like sitting right there at the table with the guy. I pick on miss Martin and sing along and laugh. It’s fantastic...
Terrific! This really captures John in a very relaxed frame of mind, and all present seem to be having a wonderful time. I only wish he had sung the burrito song.

I couldn't agree more.
This is exactly how I spent the early 80's.Playin' Prine and Dr. Hook in the kitchen
The kitchen wallpaper and ashtray makes this my all time favorite. Also the music.
I could just imagine siting and playing songs with him like that around a kitchen table . In fact i would love to be doing it right now because that would mean he was still with us
I can never not smile when I watch this video, happy to know his music. Gonna have a vodka and ginger ale with him someday.
I had to hear the happy enchilada so I had to see this, better than I ever expected
I know the feeling - pure love of this.
Thank you for sharing this video. What a gift! Thank you : )
When I get sad all I have to do is watch this.
We will miss you! You brought us so much!
Thanks for the Post... Sure do miss John Prine , if he only knew how much he influenced my song writing and picking style... doing mostly singles know I get a lot of John Prine requests so thanks brother... love you and miss you.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY✝️🙏😎🎸🎶🎼
Man o man , just to see Philip in there at the end is even more sad, RIP John and Philip , both had more to give. ❤
Loved his songs and still do
Always listen and think of my late husband David and his friend Gene.
There is only one John Prine cause there ain't nobody else like him and "that's the way the world goes round"

Praying for John and Fiona and the family. Thank you for sharing!
Found this on christmas eve thank you, what a great gift.
That's the John Prine I remember from seeing him in concert in the late 70s/early 80s- needing the occasional prod about how the song or next verse starts.
so awesome! So are the kitchen chairs....I think we had those when I was little...lol
I wish he would come to my kitchen, Id make scrapple and coffee
Love to be invited to John's kitchen
Saw him in Glasgow 2013 guy is amazing
The world needs more happy enchiladas!
love that gorgeous guitar too....signature.
A class act.....Rest in Peace.
Love you Mr. Prine, you are going to pull through this.
If Mr Prine was ever "arrogant" it was in this recording...and only because Jim obviously didn't understand his place. This is a favorite on the fact that it's in the moment,raw and had a natural catanse that's pretty complex. John Prine in his element. Priceless
And this is great uncut footage! Not afraid to play at the kitchen table... :)
The great John Prine!
Jeeez - I could be criminly insane but I guess not this month! pure love of this one.
Happy Enchilada !! ... I just saw John do this last night in Peoria IL .... and he sounds exactly the same after all these years
My favorite prine clip...its my birthday, March 30th...but john won't see another one... joe diffie yesterday, and prine will be gone before the week ends....god speed john.....one of the greats....
😭😭😭 Rest In Peace John.
I agree this will bring me back from the brink..... every time. big smile here
I was drunk one night and I swear to God that John Prine said "happy enchilada" instead of "half an inch of water" lol
My favourite video of JP.. So natural.
Love Prine and love this video! Wish folks would take the beginning with a grain of salt. I am sure it was no more than one one friend busting another friends balls. Prine sure didn't seem to care.
Cole Locke yes! There’s another video of him in an interview or just an intro for a song, I forget, but he openly says I can only really play two melodies; fast and slow haha.
my favorite rendition
Love this dude. Fully engaged with his audience
I will forever lone john prine
i f***ing love love this song. very beautiful.
Music doesn't get any better than this.. If it does... I'd like to see it!
Perfection in the most imperfect sort of way...
or an imposition on the most imposing figure?
I'm sure you're a pretty nice fella. : )
ahhhh..he could sit down at mt kitchen party anyday...and that tables gonna be bouncin hahaha....john prines the man
John should sell "Happy Enchillada" inflatable arm floaties, it could work, I bought the John Prine fly swatter lol
RIP John Prine
