John Prine is not dead. Until the last person who ever heard his songs dies, he will never die. peace my brother.
Amen!
He lives through the music. His spirit will never die...as long as we play his music.
I LOVE your attitude! THANK YOU ❤
yep I stumbled on this tonight,i,m new to it all,i,m totally taken by this,wonderful.
Viva John Prine!
I’m 60 years old. Lifelong Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Leonard Cohen , Chris Smithers , etc fan. So how, how, oh my god how is it that I never heard of John Prine until yesterday? I will never have time on this earth to adequately grasp and appreciate the depth and beauty of this miraculous artists work. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me.
I'm 24, 25 this coming July. When I was 11 my mom met a guy. A long, long story short, the only good thing to come from it is our love for certain music now, Prine being one of them. I am so grateful to have his music, it has helped me through a lot of tough times. He has such beautiful and deep words, and the perfect personality to go with it all.
there are many artists I'm just discovering at 64...enjoy the ride...you won't lose with jp
I was daydreaming at one of his concerts when I should have been paying attention but he inspired me to write one of my better songs, so i give him credit.(editors note: my song isnt that good and im pretty tired of that one now)
Exactly my feeling!
Me too Paul and I am in my 60's also, a real music lover of all genres. I can't believe this amazing artist was under my radar for so long! I heard he has Covid 19, praying he will make a good recovery, not ready to lose him now I've found him!
I was, just yesterday, explaining to my 92yo dad that whenever you ran into a JP fan, you could be sure you were meeting a good human being. This is the sweetest comment section on youtube.❤
Ted Bundy was a Prine fan at UW
And you can be sure of that
There's always an exception to the rule. He was a demon who focused on terrorizing and preying upon innocent victims. It's a sad and revealing thing for you to bring such a comment forward on such a positive video! Take a look in a mirror and see if you're just wanting to shock people, or if you're just deranged like your aforementioned demon.@ClydeHUC
John Prine is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Yes!!!
What a beautiful comment that is.
Oh my God, what a tribute 👏
So positive and true!Thank God, Thank you!❤
Amen 🙏
I was operating the board when John was interviewed by Bob Edwards at XM.
When the interview was over and Bob left the room, John hung around and
we began to chat. There was no one else in the studio. When he learned my son was a Marine stationed in Iraq,
John picked up on my concern for my son's well being. The next 30 minutes I spent
with him talking and listening are very precious to me. I was a huge fan before we met
but I'll alway remember this wonderful man for his kindness and compassion.
that's an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it
Thanks for sharing what must have been very special moment. Hope your son is home safe.
Wow my wife's brother,our brother, has been back and forth to Afghanistan I try to help him send him stuff and help him see his kids. It's a family's sacrifice and anyone who understands it is a good person . Be glad we had such a good person here so long and bring up the next ones to be the same way. I play them John prine.
Thank you from beyond my ability
He always left the impression that his fame meant little to him. He always seemed to have a double dose of humble. Thanks for a wonderful story that reaffirms that belief.
If you love John Prine, you are a friend of mine.
Thank you,
Friend, James
Nice to know BCSpiritbear
Hello friend
@@carmenhardy2629 thank you
BCSpiritBear love!
When Gordon breaks into tears after John saying it's an honour playing for him. I miss human emotion like that.
Create it
I thought the same thing. That's one of the best parts of this incredible video.
And love and kindess.
Great music soothes the human soul. John Prine was a master at writing / performing such deep music. What would it have been like to know him?
My heros
This to me is simply incredible. John Prine performing in front of Gordon Lightfoot is one for the ages. I have watched this many times over and am blown away each and every time. Epic.
Oh God everybody's crying
This is campfire music
What a beautiful night of music. I feel so blessed to find this tonight. John is a gem that keeps shining brighter the longer you listen and to have Gordon Lightfoot in the audience just makes it so much better.
RIP gentlemen and thank you!
John Prine sang to my teenage heart. Now, he speaks to my 60 year old heart.❤
Makes me cry my friend.
What a beautiful song just be on the run
Me too. I miss him so much.
Me too since 1970
Remember Common sense?!
As a vietnam vet, this song still brings tears to my eyes...
To see tears in Gordon Lightfoot’s eyes, listening to John Prine….❤️
When you have Gordon Lightfoot sitting in like all the others, that says it all about John Prine right there!
My girl cats curl up ,purr when John sings.classy felines😊
Right
Agree
Yes, mine too M.@@MadonnaGrogan
sitting in and crying....
I would trade EVERY DAMN CONCERT I EVER SAW just to be in that room! This ONE video makes You Tube worth it's invention!!
Absolutely!!! There is a love flowing from John through every audience member!!! I have watched this video over and over. I shared it with my parents who grew up with John. They loved it and watch it over and over...
Me too.this is one of my favorites.A legend!
Me too,didnt know who he was until i saw this.
Me too!!!
I just told my ol man ,, that must b someone private party ,, to have so many greats ,,in same room ,,singing along ,,we saw him in 90's in Birmingham, Alabama,, we where invited to after party ,, but my ol man had a job ,remember when men worked everyday,, I just told him if we had known ,,that u didnt have to work just say ,, I got this or that wrong when in reality,,they r able just sorry ,, anyway I digress, I told him ,, we should have stayed ,, but ,,my man is a good man ,, he went to work ,, but sure hate we missed that party ,, rest in peace John ,you gave us so much more than music u gave us our youth back ,u partied with us, u made us laugh u made us think 🤔,u made us cry ,but u never left us ,, sayin ,, well that was disappointing,, as so many concerts do these days ,, not that we get to many anymore ,, dont cha hate time ,, it takes everything good from us,,
I wish u all luv out there,, pass this kindness on today ,, say Hello in there to an old person or any person ,, ❤🎵🎶🎵🎶✌🌹😉😊 an if u have some ,, get yourself an illegal smile
My first concert was John Prine at Massey Hall back in 2009. I was 7 and my mum was supposed to take her best friend to the show but after months of begging she surprised me with the ticket because she knew I loved him just as much as she did. After the show his manager came out and gave me John's guitar pick, I still have it to this day. Rest in peace Mr.Prine
Awesome
That's cool as hell man! I hope u use it!
Strombo you can’t have imagined the significance of capturing this performance. Thank you
RIP John, the story telling is un matched!!
I gotta say, Todd Snider is carrying that storyteller torch.
The 111 people that disliked this obviously don't understand music.
John Prine is amazing 😊
Some Humans Ain't Human.
@@mcguiganmike Just listen to the auto tuned so called singers that have forty Dancers on stage to hide the fact that they have no talent . Just look at the shit that is on TV to know that people have no idea what is good. I heard Prine's first record and cried it moved me that much and it still does to this day . Sorry for the long rant i would just like to know what the 194 people who didn't like this listen to
For those of you who don't "get" John Prine, this video will be over before you know it.
Pray for him...hes critical an wife. Damn virus
@@lindarobison7830 Prayers for John and his family.
I cant imagine there ever being another john prine. there is something fragile and gentle and huge and fearless and full of love and precious and intimate. I will miss him like I don't miss other performers. I feel I lost my father again.
Rich Perez I love your words. I’m heartbroken
Rich, I feel so much the same way. I saw John Prine in September last year at Red Rocks in Colorado. He danced and shuffled off of the stage with such joy and happiness and it made me cry because that's exactly something my dad would have done, dancing in his old man way. I miss my dad so much, and John Prine reminded me so much of him in his joy and fun. Prine was truly a national treasure as an artist and as a human being. We were blessed to be alive at the same time with him.
I cried my eyes out when I heard....I thought he was getting better.
@@nunyabidness9895 Yeah I agree. I was so scared we were going to lose him. Then we didn't hear anything for a week, and I thought surely that was a good sign. Then suddenly he's gone! And you realize how fragile life is, and how lucky we have been to live in such great years for music. My friends and I have been playing Prine songs for almost 50 years. And it's impossible to ever replace a guy like John. His wit and compassion, and the way he can evoke such deep raw emotion with a couple of lines of lyrics, he was one of a kind! Yes I cried too... But I take solace in knowing he's having that vodka and giner ale, and the cigarette that's nine miles long, surrounded by friends and family in Heaven.
AND THERE NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER LIKE JOHN-PRINE EVEN IF YOU WAIT A TRILLION YEARS !!!!!!!! JOHN IS THE ONLY ARTIST THAT CAN MAKE ME LAUGH ONE MINUTE , THEN CRY THE NEXT !!!!!
I am 65 and have been listening to John Prine since I was in high school. This Chicago mailman is truly an American treasure, and I was so sad when he died. He was a poet and a musician and I will listen to him all my years. RIP JP
Agree. People die. It's OK. Not a tragedy cause he's a singer.
Who could not love John?
What a soul.
Well put .
Interesting how in his later years he’s got a Bob Dylan rasp, compared to his earlier sound. Oh well, even with the hell that he went through with his health in the last 20 years, it still didn’t rob his voice of character.
I’ve only just discovered his work but how could I have never known it for all these years? It’s like someone turned the lights on in my head and said, ‘Hello in there!’
❤
I'm wrecked. He was everyone's storyteller, the best chronicler of all of our tumult. There's a hole in our universe now with his echo in it.
Beautifully written, Mari.
I'm reading your comment while listening to Neil Degrasse describe the size of a hole discovered recently in space and he says there just aren't any words we typically use to adequately describe the size of that emptiness. What are the chances.
Best thing I can say is that JP was never background music.You had to stop what you were doing and listen and laugh or cry, probably both within one song.
@@shanerowe5289 So true.
@@robertparadis3395 That's our work as humans, to fill the void (ideally), not make it bigger.
This is absolutely lovely. I don't know if I've ever seen two more gentle and genuine souls sitting in the same room as John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot. The image of Gordon smiling and singing along as he savors John's music is as sweet as it gets. This whole scene, especially hearing my all-time favorite song, "Summer's End," reaches deep inside me...filling me with nothing but peace, love and gratitude...
i grew upin Gary, and. lived in the Chigo metro area all my life, and with John starting out in Chicago, I can't fivure out how i never heard of John prine. I'm 71 now and somehow stumbled across a segment with JOHN PRINE, and I've been enjoying listening to him all througb my day!!! I hope John lives to be 100 years old, so I can listen for all his new songs !
Gordon Lightfoot singing along w/ 'Far From Me' is beautiful.
I thought of this video… hearing the passing of Gordon Lightfoot… last night. I remember how moved he was listening to John sing. I was grateful to see John at Radio City Music Hall on what would turn out to be his last tour. His passing hit very hard… he had survived cancer… twice… but Covid stole him away. Now Gordon Lightfoot has left us also…
It’s so strange to realize that as I get older myself… I shouldn’t be surprised to hear about people I grew up listening to or watching… are gradually living their last years… and one day they are … gone. We all have our limited time… I guess… it’s just the way it is. Hope that John’s spirit was able to be aware of Gordon’s spirit’s arrival… two great voices… reunited… 🎵💐🎵
Thank You… both… for the music 🎶 🎼🎵🎶
You are both greatly appreciated… R.I.P.
I think I've watched this at least 20 times now. Here's to 20 more.
RIP John.
Same.
Only on about 10
Kp immortal thanks againkohmnie
I’m on 30 views…..
Me too. To be there!!!
the song " sam stone " made me quit speed and probably saved my life in 77 . it was nearly 40 years later that I found who John prine was . now he will forever be one of the two most important singer wordsmiths in my world
who is the other one?
I heard John Prine a couple years ago. I Was amazed at his song writing and guitar picking then and I'm still amazed.I would've loved to have gone rainbow trout fishing at any time or place with Johnny..Anyone that has praise and admiration for Gordon Lightfoot is "aces" in my book.
yeah, who is the other one? the ppl want to know!!
@@masonburkeen3809 Bob dylan
@@fightington dylan of course
Have you ever been in church and the preacher is preaching a sermon and it feels like he knows something you did last night and he is preaching right at you? Prine's lyrics give you that same feeling.
Thank you. You've said what I've been trying to say for days.
He cuts to the core and makes us feel better for not being the only ones confused/hurt/jealous/ amused and so many other feeelings.....smile for John, it's all he ever really wanted.
Tony! That was an awesome comment! I was searchin for the feeling this song gave me when I seen your comment! And you nailed it!
Tony Morris well said. You my friend captured it entirely.
Tony, how right you are....he's the preacher all of us need. The "happier" the John Prine song, the deeper I knew the lyrics would be and the closer I would listen. He exemplified what it means to be an "artist" in everything he did.
Tonight I just read that Gordon Lightfoot has died 😢, and had to come watch this moment again when John sings his tribute to Gordon (at 6:36). Two of my favorites gone now but never forgotten❤❤
I can feel this. In the fibers of my soul. From John's emotion to Mr. Lightfooot singing and remembering another place in time.ive listened to this 3x today. And I've sobbed everytime. And I'm thankful. Rest in paradise john
this is my favourite recording session of John Prine ...i just keep coming back to listen again and again...whoever was responsible for the audio that day did an awesome job 👍
Yes! Audio person. You done real good.
I canno6 pi8k a fav0titec song
Oh, I totally agree!
Magic 😢
I came to the comments to say the same thing.
Couldn’t sleep, it was 4:30am. Decided to listen to some music. I stumbled upon this video, put my headphones on and cried through the whole thing. God bless this fantastic musician/songwriter who entered my life in 1977 and hasn’t left since.
4:12am here living the same experience in 2022
drama queen
6:00am here in 2023! Second time in the last 30 days!!❤
Just gone 1am. Same.
You can have all the stadium and arena shows and festivals you want. I will take a small space performance like this 10/10 times. Just a magnificent show.
Truly one of the greatest songwriters. RIP John....the angels will enjoy your songs.
Gregory sorely missed John, still is great !
Hi
".......You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness. You're out there runnin' just to be on the run". Only John Prine can deliver the mail like that.
Alabama 3 did a great cover.
I fell in love with John's music when I heard his first album at a record store in Kansas City & I bought it on the spot & took it home & listened to it over & over. Sam Stone ripped my heart out. I''m 73 now & I had a lot of friends who went to Vietnam I lost a lot them in Vietnam & I lost many more to the drugs they took to try to forget the physical & mental pain from the war. John sang their story so well. He expressed loss, pain & humor in his songs. I also loved Please Don't Bury Me & lots more.. His concerts were huge highlights of my life! I've loved him for 50 yrs & still do. .
Thank you for reaching out sister. Please don't bury me is a masterpiece.
Right on brother ,, from a lil sister that's been listening to him for bout 48 years now,, ty 4 your service ,, and so sorry 4 all the loss,, when we visited the Vietnam wall ,,I had a peace symbol necklace on ,, I took it off payed it there at wall ,,I didnt deserve to wear it ,, God Bless you,,and may john rest easy ,, he was part of everything life had to offer ,,in his songs ,, takes me back to different places different times some where good some where not so good ,, but ,,I treasure each of my souvenirs, they took me so long to collect ,, lyin here in bed with my darlin of 38 years ,, listening to music we lived by ,,and will die with ,,
I wish u all lots of luv ,peace ,stay safe n healthy dont leave ol world to soon more memories to b made an John's music will b there in back of our minds as we make em then re live em all again ❤🎶🎵🎶🌹
@@Prospect.1 I'm glad you will carry his songs in your heart forever.
God bless you
PINK CADILLAC was my into. Hope you have a copy too.
My favorite show. I've never cried because someone wrote music so beautiful in my life. Til this man. I'm kidding. But, he does a great job of putting tears in eyes. Try and say I'm wrong. I dare you
I never before cried at the passing of a celebrity, but John Prine was so much more. 😢
I never heard of John Prine until today but feel like I’ve known his music forever. Thank you for posting this performance as it seems he was surrounded by friends and family that love and admire him. I feel privileged to feel a part of it.
Welcome citizen. You’ll never be the same after meeting John. Just better.
You are in for an unexpected journey. Have fun
Freshwater was the town I grew up in.
I love john prine but to see Gordon lightfoot in tears .. wow .. AMAZING!!
It's never been about his voice for me...it's the lyrics
@@jenniferreyes1764kip
It made me tear up like I always do listening to John.
Ya, I'm in tears too.. held out pretty good till Sam Stone, that one gets me every time
Gordon lightfoot closes his eyes and you can tell he is right back there.
So true. Gordon has always been my singer song writer hero and Mr. Prine is a gift of nature that comes along once in a lifetime. RIP
@@basilwilson2796 - I agree, and we were lucky to have him for as long as we did, because we've almost lost him twice before. I hope that up in Heaven, God has him singing scurrilous songs to the choir, and the angels are all sputtering, trying to keep from laughing. RIP John.
Mr MessyEH Yup, after closing time, half bent and singing in he middle of Main Street.
the eye contact between JP and Gordon as he comes to the end fo the song.
Yeah I loved that 🥰
That looks like GORDON LIGHTFOOT sitting there - humming along. The LAST TIME I saw him - in person - was in THE VILLAGE CORNER
club in Toronto, in 1965. I used to see him all the time there. I've ALWAYS LOVED GORDIE. IT'S so GOOD TO SEE HIM. Hold on - I just remembered the last time ACTUALLY that I saw him was at his house in Rosedale at his CHRISTMAS PARTY. GOD BLESS YOU GORDIE!.
No American Music more perfect than John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot. So glad to see this. Thank You.
I agree, except that Gordon Lightfoot was Canadian. No worries though, he was loved by all who heard him.
I used to roll my eyes when my Mom would listen to John Prine. It's my biggest childhood regret. Now I'm her age when she tried to introduce his music to me and I get it. Better late than never 🤷♀️
Abbie_Parent A universal theme that could be inspiration for a Prine song.
That's a john prine song!. Takes the right kind of ears to hear what hes saying and we can all admit we lacked that when we were young
@wavygr Lightfoot? I'm Canadian so, yes. 😀
I share it with my 13 year old. And we both listen to Prine before his passing and now more than ever. Of course I have taken him to concerts since he was old enough to understand. Never too late I say even if he rolls his eyes one day he will remember our time listening to music. Just like you do.
It's ok. I don't think you can appreciate John Prine as a youth. One needs life experience before you can appreciate Mr Prine.
Rewatching this with tears streaming down my face. RIP John. You'll always be loved, and will forever be missed. ❤
There will be tears in heaven but Jesus will wipe them all away 🙏
Same my friend, lost a good one with john💔 bet he’s got that vodka and ginger ale
I know, me too!!!!
@@riggidyromulidas4554 and a cigarette that's 9 miles long.
Here is this 61 yr old singing his lungs out to "Summers End" in the kitchen with tears streaming down his face.
I am the same age as John, grew up with him, just in another country. I love him more every time I play this, tears always flow. Can't wait to get to heaven, maybe, just maybe, I can get a guest spot in his band.....God willing.
John Prine knew he was great. It didn't matter what his voice did. He knew he was a master at his craft. What a wonder. What a joy to listen to.
John was a great songwriter with an eternal take on daily life--an every-
man for our times with a heart as big as the World. Gone too soon, but I'm grateful for every minute he was here. I"m sure he's rockin' with the angels!!🎸😇🎵
Was introduced to John Prine’s music back in 1972 . I’ve been a fan ever since. One of a kind talent and will be sorely missed. God rest your soul John Prine.
I was at this (I'm in this video, but I won't say where hehe) and it truly is one of my most cherished memories. I can remember the entire experience photographically. John is one of my top 5 favourite songwriters ever... I was choking back tears the whole damn time. RIP John Prine... the small window of time you visited us here changed the lives of so many.
I will add that the energy of the room was comparable only to a handful of live performances I've ever attended - the absolute intimacy - you could hear a pin drop. All were fixated on this man whose music we love so dearly.
Bless you.
But sure i can see you in it hun,fair play to ye ,
I was crying the whole time watching this
I'm so jealous! When I think that I could have had a John Prine house party for a few thousand, my heart stops and my eyes leak. His minds work continues to be a gift
fucking covid. I'm a grown ass man, but sitting here crying over the loss of this treasure. RIP sir.
I'm 66 years old, happy or sad, I can barely help tearing up when I hear
John Prine
Miss him. Was not covid
@@randysollars5350get that. Replace sad with glad maybe my friend
@@randysollars5350We're all going with the glad he was here
John can always make me smile and cry at the same time , i love this man. Rest in peace john.
Let's toast John Prine forever at every Happy Hour. Picture him in his rock band, smoking a cigarette 9 miles long, kissing his sweetheart. So happy that his "manager" Fiona got him to write The Tree of Forgiveness. And his duets with Iris Dement will live to eternity. RIP
Wow..found your comment on house of stombo..john prone is the best almost all I listen to late at night..discovered him,lately
I'm smiling ear to ear with tears running down my face.
I know it is so sad. He was so wonderful. :(
Love him
don't be so dramatic
he is....and will always be missed...an honest..real genuis..
Thank you humbly sir for all the excellent music and positive energy you gave the world.
@@hoss-lk4bgi suspect you dont have many friends...but instead
..lots of cats...small yappy foo foo dogs maybe even...
What a beautiful night of music. I feel so blessed to find this tonight. John is a gem that keeps shining brighter the longer you listen and to have Gordon Lightfoot in the audience just makes it so much better.
RIP gentlemen and thank you for all the feels for so long.
Summer's end is the perfect song, I can see the doubt in the eyes of the audience at first, of John Prine wins them over one by one. My hat goes off to the man who put made this happen.
We didn't deserve John. Now, we must live in a world without him. Rest easy.
yes we did
John prine has passed on,but his music will live on for ever and a day.rest in peace John.
Stelladona Confredo Butler d
We needed John Prine
very dramatic
Imagine being in that room!?! The respect that Gord Lightfoot and John Prine have for each other is obvious and delightful to witness.
What a joy to watch
such dedication! John
was definitely a one of
a kind songwriter &
performer!😍🏡🐦
I would have walked barefoot for miles over broken glass to have been in that room! Once you listen to John Prine you can't stop. And that old Martin he's playing sounds so amazing!
Im in awe that Gordons reactions to johns music is the same as his fans.Gordon sitting there eyes closed and ging deep into the lyrics is awesome.
I turned 51 this past July , I first heard John Prine when I was 14. I have deep love, respect & admiration for him ! I will spend the rest of my days here on earth regretting I never saw him in person! Thank you so much for this video! I’ve watched & listened more times than I can count!
Much love & peace John Prine
❤❤
The love, respect, and reverence for John Prine shown by the audience is so touching. I am grateful that this special moment in time was shared with the world. John is missed but never forgotten.
You don't smile when JP sings Sam Stone. You cry. It's a rule.
Prine and Gord in the same room.....if I had been there I believe I would've exploded.
In a league of his own, John speaks to me like no other. You live on in my heart and in my head. Wisdom. Calling us out to look and SEE.
To call this performance extraordinary is an understatement!
My heart is breaking and melting at the same time. Lightfoot and Prine in the same room. I'm DONE.
Simply a blessing
Watching Him rock and sing along with His eyes closed..My soul lies weeping on the floor.
RIP to this great artist
To see Mr. Lightfoot tearing up too. Those two shared a bond. Priceless. Much love, RIP John Prine. 🙏❤
My husband and I had the same reaction. And the shared respect for each other - beautiful.
What a treat, my mother would put Prine on the record player, crack a Miller Light, smoke a cigarette and we would sing and dance to his tunes. I don't have her anymore, but I still have the album's. Once in awhile on the weekends you can hear John blaring from my home.
Buddy, that is such a GREAT story!!!
beautiful memory
Your Mother I bet is there with you in spirit..
I'm only catching up with him a year or two before his death via a Jimmy Buffett cover of Paradise. Between that and Sam Stone, it spoke volumes about JP to me. You miss too much of Life in New Jersey!! Wish I'd had people to see in Muhlenberg Cty!!
What a delightful memory of your mother, having the music to listen to is priceless!
John Prine was the only musical artist who’s death truly affected me, so long. I couldn’t listen to his music for about a year because I would get too emotional. He’s a truly incredible artist. Prolific and profound and pithy. 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely outstanding. Everything about it. What a valuable 45 minutes to have captured for posterity.
My heart is broken. I can't stop crying. He was so strong. I thought he might fight his way back from this too? The world just got a lot colder, like it did when John Denver died. What an amazing songwriter, I think it can truly be said, there will NEVER be another one like John Prine...Rest Well.
Have yourself a cocktail and smoke yourself a cigarette that's 9 miles long! Love you always...
Your music will live on forever.❤
I'm feeling his passing so keenly. It feels like I've lost an old friend. His music connected with me in a way that was true and heartfelt. He was a perfect driving companion. I know no other artist will fill the void. I'm shattered for his friends and family.
yes, it's a bit colder.
"You know she still laughs with me, but she waits just a second too long"...Nobody writes lyrics like John Prine.
John deserves a PEN award for his passages and prose. He is the literary equivalent of the great short story writers of middle America like John Carver.
He is the best song writer & musician, imho
Omg love you John
I used to go to The Riverboat in Toronto in the early 70’s . I missed Prine but got to see his buddy Steve Goodman and folks like Eric Andersen . What a magical time. Like you said Jim nobody writes like Prine . Bob Dylan even said that . Learned every song on Diamonds in the Rough. He’s the best.
@Jim Sisko: Read an interview with JP where he talked about being drawn to “the spaces in between” and being able to express them in his song writing.
John's unassuming benevolence sets everyone at ease in the audience even though he knows he has them all in the palm of his hands. Absolute master class
Masterclass... truly an accurate description of these 45 minutes.
Someone once told me that John Prine was an "acquired taste," like scotch. I told him that I acquired it a long time ago. Really miss him and his creativity.
Well. I my opinion you have no taste if you don't, or can't appreciate the man. From one Kentucky boy to another I'll see you on the other side brother.
Arlo Guthrie is another. Cut from the same cloth.
Every time I put some John Prine on, I fall more and more in love with his music, so yes!!
What an artist. Amazing
PS: Is anyone else blown away by how incredible that guitar's tone is?
This is pure gold! I would have never thought watching a living room concert on my laptop could deliver so much joy, I wish everyone I knew would take an hour to sit back, relax and enjoy greatness! RIP JP
Can you even imagine being there?
THANK YOU JOHN,!!! YOU BRING MEMORIES ALIVE AND MAKE ME 😂 AND WE ALL KNOW LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE 🤣!!! YOU ARE AMAZING MAN WITH SUCH A GIFT OF TOUCHING
OUR HEARTS AND SOULS!!!!
The simple thangs
It's the way John seemed to prefer, intimate shows. Until lil donnie took him away.
Remember, Mr.John Prime is an ANGEL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heaven is John and Gord playing their classics. God bless you both. Get the party started up there....
A true American treasure. RIP Mr. John Prine.
"A question ain't really a question, if you know the answer too." Gold.
He had so many verses that meant so much. That is one of them.
I've played Prine's songs for almost 50 years. One time I was singing Far From Me and when I was done, someone asked what the heck does "an old broken bottle looks just like a diamond ring" mean? I couldn't fathom how anybody couldn't see the symbolism in that line..... Also always loved "I guess that love's like a Christmas card, decorate a tree, throw it in the yard" too. But John Prine had so many evocative and eloquent lines in his hundreds of tunes. Cheers!

That would have floored me also. One of my favorite lines.
.stored in a box of Unobtainium ..
Sounds just like scat singing , just a really special kind!
How can anyone sum up essences of life in just a few syllables. I try but fail, then return to John and his old D-28.
A post on the guest book at John's website years back read: "The last quarter of the 20th century wouldn't have been worth living without John Prine".
Sooo much love for this man.. loved his new gravely voice.. and always his stories.. Gordon Lightfoot was here too… and the last song w the Kazoos.. soo much fun w John… missin.. Steve Goodman.. John always loved and remembered him.. as we’ll remember them forever.. sweetest Smiles.. ♥️💚💙
Aside from the fact that John Prine is one of the best songwriters ever the cinematography is the video is top notch
I describe him to people as my friend, though he doesn't know me. I cry listening to his funny songs, and laugh at his sad songs. He's just about my best friend.
That's the light of humanity. Nice battery charge, eh?
I would submit that he does know you. He writes for himself to all of us.
That's a touching tribute.
Mr Prine can make you laugh,cry,and think all within a 3 and a half minute span
William I was just listening and grinning and crying. I so can relate.
John is an underated talent and deserves Way more recognition than he's ever had. God Bless John Prine.
❤️
Steve Okula: It's good that we say "God Bless" to people. I do. Every once and a good while, I think God says, "I already have." Of course that would be if God thought like me.
Just found out about John Prime from Raul Malo, beautiful songs and person and he had already passed away.
Me at 75 now and just found about this gentleman singer, songwriter. Goes to show you it's never too late to discover 💐🤠🇵🇭🇺🇲. Lived in Royse City, Texas and now retired in the Philippines. God Bless us all
Man, that was just beautiful. The respect that John and Gordon have for each other is so strong I can feel it.
“I had to write a song to get her back.”
“Did it work?”
“I meant revenge” HA
John Prine is the best
Yeah made me lmfao
Took me til now to get that. Hard to approach the genius that he was.
This is very nice. Many thanks. John lives!
Hey that's pretty funny 😄
He wrote songs of love, life, and death, like no one else. His sweet presence, wittiness and positivity should be an inspiration to every one. "When I Get to Heaven" was far from my favorite song from Tree of Forgiveness, but suddenly that song seems to mean the world to me. Rest in peace, John. There will never be anyone like you.

I was introduced to John Prine in 93 by one of my best friends it amazes me of the talent that is missed by so many who find themselves stuck with R&B top 20 my dear friend also introduced me to JJ Cale Hats off Jamit my 2 favorites...unsung hero's
I love the story of how he wrote "Tree of Forgiveness". I've loved everything he ever wrote but I sincerely believe it was his best. If you can listen to "Summer's End" and not tear up, you're dead inside.
Summers End kills me. ❤
@@Elaine-oo4qp I had to listen to it about 12 times before I stopped tearing up.
I am a 70 year old male but this song and seeing John and Gordons faces brings tears to my eyes....good ones
John was always an old soul. It's fitting that he has reached perfection in his old age.
We were lucky to have had him a good while. He would want you to smile [so do I friend] peace
John has done many concerts, But "The House of Stombo, is the "True" John Prine",,Come back to us, John from the Covid 19 . Hopes and prayers.
I too wish John Prine well, but this isn't about the operation COVID-19 plandemic - his health problems have been serious for a long time.
Alas, not to be. This is an amazing recording and very sad to realize that it took his passing to help me find it. RIP John. Thank you for all the songs.
Pharmer David He beat cancer. A few of them. He kept playing and recording. This virus killed him. It sucks. But don’t take away from the man’s memory by suggesting the virus isn’t what took him away. Or that it’s not a real pandemic. If it weren’t for he and Fiona contracting covid-19, he would almost certainly be in the same shape he was a couple months ago.
Plant a little garden, John. Thank you for everything.
Very sad news not too many of them left like John Prine, I like the one he did with tom petty back in 1991 picture show , and hello in there I have a version of by Bette midler, bonnie Raitt did a beautiful version of angel from Montgomery, now they are both up there in heaven having one hell of a jam Rest peace
@@pharmerdavid1432, what this is or isn't about is up to the listener. This listener has hope that this travesty of public health motivates all equivocators to realize that the political parties may have some similarities but are not the same, and will not demean his memory and message by sitting on the couch the next election.
As long as there are recordings of John playing live, I will never be alone. My greatest regret is never seeing him live when I had the chance. Rest easy, John.
Saw him live many times. Once with Bonnie Raitt and Tom Waits. My husband wasn't a fan, but now he knows all the songs after hearing them almost 35 years.
I saw some of the greats live; Bowie, Sting, Queen, Stones, U2 to name a few. Greatest concert ever was Prine, I think it was 2010 or 2011? I was amazed by his energy. He was perfection. I am so glad I was able to see him live!!!!
He's puts on a hell of a show, there can be all laughs then not a dry face within 2-3 songs. He's truly a legend, long live John we'll never forget you
Went to concerts constantly in 70's and 80's, and agree with you that John was and is the best concerts I ever attended. Saw him many times starting in late 70's and 80's. Best show was with my husband when we were dating and he was with Bonnie Raitt. Saw him with Bonnie and solo many times. He talked to the audience like we were personal friends.
I was fortunate that my friend David Kaelin introduced me to John Prine's classic Hello in There when we were 18. David was an old soul much like John who discovered this masterpiece written about old people by a young guy when he was young as well. Been appreciating John Prine for almost 60 years now.
He is his own genre..
TLZ Inc. precisely my friend
What a man--what a talent--what a loss. Godspeed on angel's wings, John.
Amen and Amen!
Sam Stone gut punches me as much today as it did almost 50 years when I first heard it. What a song.
Hell yes it does, then he puts out Summers End, about addiction, and I can barely stand to watch the video.... killer
I can't believe I just found this treasure. Thank you for sharing John, George and Gordon!!
John Prine is about the only artist who says "this is a new song" at a live show and it's greatly welcomed. Everyone wanted to hear new things he had to say. R.I.P. JP.
It's because the new songs feel like they've been with you forever the first time you hear them.
Such things are rare, to be sure. I witnessed the same reaction at a Janis Ian concert.
yeah usually they hear "this is a new song" as TIME TO PEE AND BUY ANOTHER DRINK.
Cause he saved jem's too. Folk music, especially nashville so cut throat, he waited for the internet. N we all gained... Bless this man
"...sweet songs never last too long on broken radios." Sleep well John, thanks for all music, what a gift, what a gift...
I stumbled into thie video about three of years ago and it changed me. Oh, how I wish I had known john for his careen. When he died, I literally cried, no entertainer has affected me like John did. How lucky we all are to have his memory and his songs in our lives.
Been listening to John since the 70s his words and music inspires, he touches your heart and soul, his music will never die.
John Prine is real, fearless, purely transparent and kind. A living legend. I have deep admiration!
I'm in tears. I can't being to express how much I loved this man and how sad I am that he has left us. I want to write something here worthy of this man..but John already gave us all the best words about life and being human....so instead I'm just listening to his brilliance and missing him without any hope of ever expressing how much his music meant to me as well as John told us about ourselves.
I hear you
Be grateful we had him 70 odd years. I know you are, I'm not on a high horse; I'm in the dumps with you my friend. But he would want you to smile and so do I.
@@youcanbesmartaskhow3857 Beautifully put.
You have expressed what I've been feeling - I have wanted to write about how much he's meant to me but he has said so many beautiful words that I have fallen wordless.
You did just fine :)
When my son got married at the reception, this is the song we selected for the mother/son dance. So awesome. I had the great privilege of seeing John in concert twice. Once at the Paramount theater in Austin, and once at Gruene Hall in Texas. He’s in my top 5 singer/songwriters. Great musician, to write such poignant songs in his mid 20s is astounding - just like Keats, only Prine is the better composer. Gosh I miss him.
Exactly any friend of John is a friend of mine. Lost my brother-in-law's today from covid. M and John we're a lot alike. Fun loving ,happy teddy bear kind of guys. They would have gotten along great. Such a sad day but John's music can always cheer you up, or make you cry, or both. Is music always helps me make it through the day. Rest in peace John and Ronnie.
