John Prine 2017 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival

[@skeptiker7312]

Höre seit 50 Jahren Kristoffern, Cash, Nelson, Seeger, Guthrie, usw. Jetzt mit 70 zum erstenmal Prine. Wie konnte ich dieses Genie nur übersehen. Ganz grosser Künstler. Ich werde Ihn die nächsten 50 Jahre hören 😂

[@jmbalingit]

No one captures the sweetness and pain of life like John Prine. May he live in our spirit forever.

[@42awww]

Thank you John, for everything. You helped me through the worst phase of my 50 year old with FAIR and SQUARE. Not to mention all your songs all went from hilarious to heartbreak in one line of the masterpieces you gave us. I can't even imagine the receptions in Heaven! A celebration by seeing and feeling your subtle messages of love and friendship your fans enjoyed. You are happy now.

[@GloriaDelicioso]

HELLLLLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!! So awesome we can listen to this every night and it is the only way I can deal with knowing he has left this crazy place. I love him and all he gave us to enjoy till we are all united on some other place!

[@richardmattaliano5649]

I saw your father for the first (and only) time at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in the early 70's. I was an instant fan..... and remember telling everyone who would listen the next day about this guy from Chicago who stole the show the previous night. Then driving to the KOP mall and buying his hay bale album. I am heartbroken from his passing. Saw him one time and I feel like I lost a close family member. Wishing you, your Mom and brothers all the best. I am sure he'd be very proud of you!

[@margaretricher4474]

The prettiest version I've heard of "Hello In There." Still brings tears to my eyes after all these years. RIP, John. You will not be forgotten.

[@docbrparker]

I still can't believe it. Hello in there, John, Hello.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

I might be the last person on earth who hadn't ever heard of John Prine. Unbelievable because I've been listening to a variety of music over the last 4-5 decades. But I'm appreciating him now - with YT vids from his earliest days to these types of concerts.

[@thomasprejean2107]

When John died, I lost a best friend I never knew.

You lost a best friend you never met. I suppose you know him pretty good in his songs. I feel the same way.

I love watching John perform . He delivers his songs like the thought just crossed his mind at that moment.

[@dahmgood1]

This man's music has been part of the jukebox I've listened to since I was 14. I'm 60 now. R.I.P.

[@SwtTrisha8]

Hello in there. :) I’m a little ahead of you in years - not by many but I sure am glad you mentioned the Jukebox. It really brings back those good ol memories of back when life was a little more layed back and slower so to speak. The Jukebox was wonderful back then wasn’t it? Good ol days, that’s for sure especially with John Prine singing his story.

[@dieniefay3733]

OH , My God , he's just so Gorgeous , a shame i didn't come across him till after he passed , i will catch up for sure , can't stop watching him , RIP John , Heaven is lucky to have you , cheers from Australia xxxx '

The beauty of greatness is that you don't realize what you've got till it's gone. Yet as humans we never appreciate the moment. Enough. I am very sad.

[@SwtTrisha8]

Shaz Smith Don’t think you will. To tell the truth I wouldn’t even try. I’d just search instead of some of his performances that maybe you missed out on. This is one I missed out on and I’m loving every second of it! What a treasure this one is! Right when I thought I’d heard them all, a new one pops up. I really really love this performance and it’s great to listen to late at night waiting for slumber to take over. Greatest story teller there is for us adults at night!

He showed us how to feel everyday life and he did it with heart, sensitivity, understanding, and humor. Humor, even in the dark, as when he dedicated Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore “to our new fuhrer, Adolph Benito Trumpatini”.

[@GranMastaDee]

Always have been a big fan of J.P's songs - most of them. But he always seemed to have a disdain for America and yet never left it. Until recently. He had no problem or commentary for the Criminal Clintons or Obama's tragic 8 years in office. Here he seems to want to compare our president to Mussolini who was a dictator and Hitler who was a socialist mass murderer. Clumsily hateful at best.
