So when I was working at the faculty club he radio played a song with mad lyrics. No way to find its name or artist. Had to be 1975. When the web came on line I tried to find it from time to time, remembering only something about a dirty car in a parking lot; and a mention of one-eyed Joe. No luck. Three years ago I stumbled upon a sophisticated lyrics search engine. This time it worked! When it printed John Prine, I thought of course. That same week news came out that Prine was very sick. He died the week after that. I told my friend at CKUA as soon as I found the song’s name and he played it for everyone. Rest in glory, John Prine, in one of your favorite places! “When I get to heaven I'm gonna shake God's hand Thank Him for more blessings than one man can stand Then I'm gonna get a guitar And start a rock-n-roll band Check into a swell hotel Ain't the afterlife grand?”

Me either! Been listening for over 40 years & been to a few concerts but never have heard that last verse. That’s why I’m listening to various live performances- to hear that verse. Yet this is sharp - like really rocking & just builds & builds. Really nice. :-)
Modern country is trash. It all sounds tinny and lifeless. 70s country is peak. That's the only Era of country worth listening . I was at a dive bar with a juke box last night and someone lined up 5 0r six modern country songs and half of them are mixed with rap beats frok 2003 like wtf lol
Thank you for putting this up it's my favorite version. I dont know why but the tube powers pull this version quite often but I got it now. Some of the other variations he sounds like he was on Quaaludes

John Prine is on a tear in this 1978 video live from Austin City Limits. This performance is an example of three years of touring a song. The crew is dialed in! I am assuming this is the same lineup as the outfit that played on the famed September 78 live recording: Guitar - Johnny Burns Bass - Tommy “Pickles” Piekarski Drums - Angelo Varias Organ, Piano - Howard Levy i think the other guitarist is Arlen Roth
The ACL band consisted of: Peter Bunetta - drums Rick Chudahoff and Rachael Simpson - bass George T Clinton - keyboards Jerry McEwen and Rick Shulman - guitar
I believe it's a show from Austin City Limits . It possibly was his first appearance on ACL. Do be mad if I'm wrong I'm not 100% positive but pretty comfortable saying it. If its show I'm thinking of it has a pretty killer version of bruised oranges also. For some reason vids of this show dont seem to last long before they vanish? You save it and all that is there thumbnail that says deleted
Pretty sure you're right. He mentions Castle Creek, which was a legendary Austin venue. (This show pre-dated the Austin backdrop that would be used for years - and convinced many a viewer the program was outdoors.)
@@tombuckley7467 this is from Austin City Limits 1978, it was Prine’s first appearance on ACL. I would pay good money for an official DVD or CD release and I’m sure many others would too, but unfortunately none has been forthcoming.
@@petermartini446 Thank you!! I need to know more about this man and that tele sustain mod he went to on the second part of the solo .. thanks again .. was having trouble finding out who it was.

Pure joy & luxury to listen to a master sing his songs.

I'm gonna shake God's hand
Thank Him for more blessings than one man can stand
Then I'm gonna get a guitar
And start a rock-n-roll band
Check into a swell hotel
Ain't the afterlife grand?”
Don't forget..., he'll have a vodka & Gingerale, and be smoking a cigarette that's 9 miles long!

Great
Great!
Holy shit
Rip John ... now that I've said that .. um that solo!! wow does anyone know who that is that played that amazing solo?
Awesome! I've never seen John play electric guitar before this.
John who? there was no John on stage for this show
WoW who is the lead guitarist?
That's exactly what I said! Did you find out who that was on that solo and what kind of magic he did when powered up that sustain on the second part?
Tears...

Tribute to John Prine by songwriter Dennis Callahan
Remember this he married that gal singing he had a hew album coming that was his third album and he moved to LA for awhile.
Holy shit lol again
I always thought that solo was a fiddle, maybe it is on the album. 🤔🤔
The extended Tele solo at the end, Ugh.
who is that playing the tele
@@Rossportfarms I don't know and I don't care. I ain't google.
It’s great.
Arlen Roth
@@petermartini446 Thank you!! I need to know more about this man and that tele sustain mod he went to on the second part of the solo .. thanks again .. was having trouble finding out who it was.
