I work in my garage every Sunday afternoon and never missed a show. I really really miss it. For NPR to erase the show is downright criminal - it's a national treasure.
@@ctina2572im 41, i came across the show driving from altoona pa to wilmington delaware on sunday afternoons, i would catch the first hour on penn states pbs channel and then harrisburg's although they started an hour later. it made 3 hours of a 4 hour drive enjoyable. no one else in my family would listen to it, so most of the time i was by myself and that was fine with me 😂
Making dinner on Saturday night, listening to the show....I used to sing “Tell Me Why” as a lullaby to my kids. Haven’t cottoned to the “Live From Here” show, though we love Chris Thile all the way back to his Nickel Creek days.
Listening to this show from my early childood to present (38) has been one of my best ways to unwind and forget about the day. My fondest memories of my dad driving me around in his old stick shift chevette after he got off work and drive around listening to repeats of the show on NPR. He did that all my life. Back ten years or so I was able to take him to a movie theater live casting one of Garrison’s shows. My dad was the stoic type so I never saw him laugh or cry. Sitting there watching him belly laugh at various parts of the show was magical. Never saw him so happy before or after. He passed in ‘19 so I have Mr. Garrison Keillor’s show to keep happy memories alive.
During the last few years during which the world has gone mad, l'd forgotten about Prairie Home Companion. Today, Garrison Keillor popped into my mind and this video cheered me, blotting out meanness and rumors of war.
It's impossible not to listen to this show with a smile on my face, no matter what's going on in the world or in my life. Thanks for the years of joy delivered in 2 hour intervals.
This was a treasure ... NPR do something that will bless many, bring back this show, it's an art form that creates unity, celebrates talent and draws on our imagination
So do I. Especially on Sat. And Sun. summer evenings with some iced tea and a fan blowing in my direction on my back porch. At least we can still find shows here.
I miss the show and radio program so much. It was the closest thing to a religious experience I’ve had. Such a wonderful combination of humor, whimsy, really good music, and feel-good stories. I wish there were a place on some streaming channel to watch these shows! I’d pay!
I feel ya. I remember the end of a new years broadcast oh prob 2014. At the end there was singing. I was in IN in my truck, away from home. I sang and cried with the audience.
I believe it was around 2009 that I went to see Garrison live in Bangor, Maine. I was sitting high up in the bleachers, but before the show got started he was revving up the audience and he climbed up the aisle. People were reaching out to shake hands, but when he took my hand, he held onto and gallantly bent over and kissed the top of my hand (or so it looked to the audience), it was such a special moment, thank you Garrison!!
I would spend Sunday morning listening with my parents as a kid .. I’m turning forty this year . My parents are gone now and I am trying to keep it going with my five year old son . Thankfully there is RUclips because I can no longer find it on my radio 📻 ❤
My Dad and I shared many happy times attending PHC when they would come to Santa Barbara Bowl. Dad's been gone since 2015, and I treasure the PHC memories and especially the episode when my Dad's post was included in Posts to the Host. The world is colder without PHC.
I miss this show! My kids loved listening to this show at dinner time on Saturday evening. Nothing ever came close to this kind of wholesome entertainment.
When I moved to Quebec from South Africa 30 years ago I asked a friend what the USA was like, one day he tuned in VPR and told me to listen to this show. He said this was America.
I came across the show driving from my hometown of Altoona, PA back to Wilmington, DE on Sunday afternoons while trying to find something to listen to on the radio. Luckily WPSU would play it at 1, and when I was out of range for it, then I got into range for witf from harrisburg, which started playig it at 2, and I could listen to the whole show on my 4 hour drive home. My wife and I went to see it at the Town Hall in 2016. What a wonderful experience and I'm so happy I got to see it live, if only even once.. Thank-you GK for your whit, humor, storytelling and a wonderful way to make a 4 hour drive seem to go faster.
He was purged for casting Patriotism and Christianity in a positive light. He was set up. The only astonishing thing thing was how long it took them to do it. I just they thought they could plug in someone else and still make money.
one thing about this is that these performers never had to work a day. it is never work when you love what you do. and it is even sweeter when others love what you do. Truly a slice of Americana that cannot be denied.
My late father absolutely loved GK and Prairie Home Companion. Every Saturday night he was tuned in. Great music too. My father loved Robin and Linda Williams who were regulars on the show. He was so irritated when GK and the show got canceled.
Just to add another, how I miss this show. My dad and I would stay in the car after arriving from somewhere and just listen to the monologue in the car, so as not to miss any of it.
I usually listened to the live Saturday Night program while washing and detailing my cars before Sunday Morning Church. Because as we know cleaning is therapeutic and is next to Godliness according to Garrison. During my divorce I listened to The News From LakeWobegon 24/7 before the cancel culture took out even Garrison. My favorite episodes are when the dog came up through the ice hole with the walleye and then the cross country train trip after the mans dog died. All the best from Haymarlet VA
Need for a common repertoire. Learn songs in schools, summer camp, in the home, or in church. Wherever and however. Group singing is the heart and soul to a country.
Thanks Garrison. So glad you are sharing these videos and . Each one reminds me of how much I miss your live broadcasts but like every bittersweet memory listening and watching these videos reminds me its better to have a bittersweet memory than none at all.
Garrison Keillor channeled the true soul of American and each show invited us to step into it, as one country. He wove together goodness, heart warmth, love for humanity and all creation, uplifting humor, artistic beauty…it surely was a kind of religious experience….full of fun and laughter.
So happy to have located whole shows vs clips! It was our Saturday night dinner ritual. Tune out the world and listen to PHC while we grilled, sipped a beverage and enjoyed this entertaining show. We will be resurrecting that ritual soon albeit o’nan iOS device or tv. Even got to see it live twice!
phc alway brought me back to my small town beginings and when my son was dignosed with austism and mutism my soul gained solice in that "his world" had a lake wobegone and my childhood myerstown pa a gloriousness of the ordinous
Thank you for letting me see this wonderful program again. I have loved this show for so many years, and do not care for the new edition of this iconic program. Thank you again, I really needed this!!
Garrison was the greatest entrained of life love and imagination, that ever darkened the stages of life. You can put u r self in any of his stories of Lake Wobegon, or any stories he told, their will never be another Garrison Keeler, God bless him, and I can't wait to meet him in heaven.💋❤️🌹🌺🐞✝️
I work in my garage every Sunday afternoon and never missed a show. I really really miss it. For NPR to erase the show is downright criminal - it's a national treasure.
You can find a library of archived shows on his website. It is a treasure trove for free, courtesy of GK.
My dad listened to these my entire growing up. I have a 32 cd set lol and im 36! Im the only person my age who loves GK
SAME HERE AND COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!! MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH ITS UNREAL!
Right there with ya ! @@ctina2572

Garrison Keillor is unparalleled.
The world is a darker place without this show
I miss my Saturday nights with prairie home like olde times that just can't be recreated today
Today I was listening to Pokey Lefarge and it occured to me, ever since this show went off air the world has been going to hell
Thank heavens for RUclips!
Gosh I miss this. Saw PHC live three times. Listened since 1986. He was treated very unfairly. We all need this again
I could have written this😊
My dad would play this on the radio while we drove around the backroads of the place I grew up, holds a very special place in my heart.
A national treasure for certain...we really need and miss you Garrison!
Amen
That was silentsed by big brother
@@billyallmon5039 ''That was silenced by big brother..," and a mean-spirited ''Me Too" movement.
I was there. I miss this show. I spent 40 years listening to it while I made dinner.
Nothing is like this anymore.
Making dinner on Saturday night, listening to the show....I used to sing “Tell Me Why” as a lullaby to my kids. Haven’t cottoned to the “Live From Here” show, though we love Chris Thile all the way back to his Nickel Creek days.
I was raised on it. It taught me to love cooking because it's so homey.
You’re vanishing. It’s already too late.
Do the dishes. Break another plate.
Live from Here is a worthy successor

I really thought that powder milk biscuits and ahua hot sauce were real products
What a find !! ... I so miss this radio programme.
Thank you, thank you, for presenting this here. We will not see or hear the likes of this show again. If 10,000 years go by, never again.
When I was truck driving I never missed the show on NPR and what a magnificent show it was .,. Thank you Garrison

Terrifically said. This show had a wholesomeness that may never be achieved again. Listening to it brings peace.
I miss this. America needs this kind of entertainment.
I miss Garrison Keillor hosting Prairie Home Companion. Nothing like it ever. Soothes the soul.
It's impossible not to listen to this show with a smile on my face, no matter what's going on in the world or in my life. Thanks for the years of joy delivered in 2 hour intervals.
This was one of my favorite shows on my local NPR station. I'm sad it gone.
APHC, Car Talk, and Wait! Wait! were always the highlights of my lazy at-home weekends
@@SchlubTheSecond i love Wait Wait and Snap Judgment as well. I listen to them during the week.
Superb! 🤩🤩😍🥰
Greatest variety show EVER. We love you Garrison !!! ❤
I've forgotten how much I miss listening to this show on Saturday evenings😓..
God Bless this man that has a bright spot in my life for decades.
So many Saturday nights standing in my kitchen, listening to my old familiar friends.
The original "face made for radio"😁😁
A national treasure.

I only discovered this amazing show in 2014 ... a few years later it was gone. There's really nothing like it.

Great show (love Ricky Scaggs!). Ever wonder how 3-word title Prairie Home Companion can calm one's busy soul and warm the heart
I miss you and this show!
I listened to this when I was about 15 every sunday , that was 11 years ago thanks for all the good times

I'm watching this now at almost 3 am with my 82 year old father.
He said he took my mother to a show a few years back.
I'm glad we can all share this.

I’m 66 I remember when I was small we did a lot of singing in school or youth groups.
I miss this show! My kids loved listening to this show at dinner time on Saturday evening. Nothing ever came close to this kind of wholesome entertainment.
High art indeed! Radio at its best.
The true magic of radio. One of the greats too.
Prairie Home Companion, and Paul Harvey were the radio shows that I enjoyed from youth to old fart.
That opening!!! Still can't believe this was cancelled. What a shame.
The opening was…. Well…. I’m speechless!! Okay, okay…. It was heartwarming!!!
He had a good to run, well over 40 yrs. MPR should've made sure it kept on
It is too much family values and morality for this heathen world.
Everything good must be destroyed, cancelled, and/or killed by the woke.
I don't think it was cancelled. He retired.
@@starchild108 he did and then MPR cut ties due to accusations of misconduct.
When I moved to Quebec from South Africa 30 years ago I asked a friend what the USA was like, one day he tuned in VPR and told me to listen to this show. He said this was America.

Garrison Keillor is a national treasure. NPR should be ashamed for cancelling the show.
He was purged for casting Patriotism and Christianity in a positive light. He was set up. The only astonishing thing thing was how long it took them to do it. I just they thought they could plug in someone else and still make money.
Did they “cancel” it? If so, I cannot think of a bigger mistake possible.
Love this show

I should have been at this show. Ricky Skags is awesome. And so are all the musicians and performers with Prairie Home Companion. ❤

.We here in Lake Woebegon long for the days when Prairie Home Companion was funny
😮remind me trucking around america great show
I just stumbled onto this and believe the first 9 minutes are the best thing I've ever seen on the internet. God bless this country and its people.
Had you known this show before you saw this?
@59:00 Guy Noir starts - Don't get me wrong, you should check out the whole episode, but if you're just here for that segment, you're welcome. 🙂
A dark night.............
Used to wash my car every week to this show❤ miss you thanks for the memories I get to visit again awesome, miss ya still ❤
❤used to listen to this gem of a show on NPR all the time, and as a French native, this is forever part of the American in me 😊🤗💜💫
Best years of my life spending my Sundays with Garrison
Saw him Saturday at Town Hall NYC had great band lovely show sang Christmas carols
He had the best show ever.
Loved that intro! So patriotic, makes me so proud to be an American! May God forgive us of our sins, and bless and protect us.
This is some country ass bullshit. This isn’t patriotic for shit
Fred Newman is a phenomenon! God blessed him with an extraordinary ability! ☑️💯👍🏼👏✝️🙏🏼❤️
So wonderful. The singing, the coming together, clean humor, just wonderful
Love prairie home companion
I grew up listening to Garrison late at night on the BBC radio (Liverpool UK) Very peaceful , loved him and the show .
I remember My Country Tis of Thee from grade school. Wish I could see him. Very emotional memories. Hard shoes to fill.
That gal’s voice. Wowza. That last piece of hers. STRONG & impressive!
I AM so blessed to be listening to this one tonight as Georgia people are voting !
Thanks for the LAUGHTER too ! Love you Garrison Keillor ❤ to ❤
Here in the uK loved this show. Most of our radio and tv is preaattling djs and music tracks. This was unique and quite wonderful.

How did he get canceled just comming back after like 6 years
Notice the "Me TOO" only canceled the good guys. Then faded away.
Need for a common repertoire. Learn songs in schools, summer camp, in the home, or in church. Wherever and however. Group singing is the heart and soul to a country.
Thanks Garrison. So glad you are sharing these videos and . Each one reminds me of how much I miss your live broadcasts but like every bittersweet memory listening and watching these videos reminds me its better to have a bittersweet memory than none at all.
I haven't sang most of these songs in decades but the lyrics are still at the ready.
❤❤❤ love wobegon❤❤❤
Absolutely Love This Show... So Wonderful & Sharing Prairie Home Companion with My Grandchildren!!! Thank You for Posting This on RUclips...
My biggest regret is I can only give this video just one thumbs-up. 👍
My love 💓 for PHC is so deep. Please restore it to our airways somehow. Godbless you Garrison Keillor & crew! ❤️
Please upload more episodes!!! I love this show so much. I listen online but I would be overjoyed to watch them again! Thanks 😊
Saw him live in Las Vegas. One of the bigger thrills of my life, seeing my idol who gave me so many peaceful evenings since I was a lad.
The last 5 musical minutes were epic!!👍👍👍👍
Many a driveway moment, thanks Garrison!
Wow. From my small garage in the Rocky Mountains, I wished to see your show live.
I never did.
Yet it still resonates.
Same here
Same
i mean he came to Chatfield twice but ok

Even got to see it live twice!
miss you Garrison!
A national treasure.
Our Grandparents had Jack Benny
We had Garrison Keillor
What the future will have I do not know.
Wonderful
Rise up children and sing!! Make a joyful noise!!
Thank you for bringing my blood pressure down during such difficult times.
Hopefully these shows will finally be reposted, such a sad shame they ever disappeared - making a note to find and play one every Saturday
phc alway brought me back to my small town beginings and when my son was dignosed with austism and mutism my soul gained solice in that "his world" had a lake wobegone and my childhood myerstown pa a gloriousness of the ordinous

50th Anniversary is touring. Yay!
This is how it’s done.
Thank you so much for posting. It was a great show, my family and I flew down to Atlanta to see you. It was a great trip and production.
Thank you.
when i had to work 2nd shift, i turned their radio and worked, listen for 2 hrs and enjoyed
This is so wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Keillor.
Me too, wonderful memories, thank you
I can't keep up this pace forever.
