John Prine with Lyle Lovett // Jimmie Dale Gilmore "The Session" 1989

[@marlyndataylor2925]

What a treat to see such a young Lyle Lovett. Extraordinary talent.

[@tomryan8223]

THIS IS A BRILLIANT SONG LYLE ALSO IS AN AMAZING SONG WRITER AND AWESOME MUSICIAN!!!

[@tomryan8223]

I JUST LUV THIS SONG JOHN WAS A BRILLIANT SONG WRITER AND ONE FINE PERFORMER!!!

[@91Kingscrib84]

Dear John, you had all of us in the palm of you hand when you played Toronto's Riverboat in 1971. You were shocked we all knew your lyrics & sung along. Now, all these decades later, you've left us after Covid complicated your Cancer-weakened health in 2020. 4 years later, those whose lives you impacted through your music & lyrics are grateful to have vinyl & CDs to buoy sagging spirits or just to give a smile. We will always love you, handsome Johnny. *I noticed that Fiona moved to FLA, and life has been severely impacted by Hurrucane Helene. I think your soul & spirit was watching over them & kept harm to life & limb at bay.

[@Texama57]

Feel like one of my old pals has died, nobody like John Prine, mailman, soldier, one of the greatest songwriters ever.

[@vivianwatts3557]

Same here. He was the sound track to my life.

[@higdonh]

@@vivianwatts3557 ditto!!!

[@vivianwatts3557]

@ladywharton John Prine was a songwriter. I've been an author for most of my life. Words have a way with me...or vice versa. 😂

[@nancyviano6736]

I feel exactly the same, and I read so many comments from others who also feel like a good, close friend has tragically died too soon. Such a kind man, such a brilliant songwriter and musician...i have spent the last couple months looking up more concerts and relusteningxto his wonderful music. I was lucky to live near Chicago from 1975 to 1979. Started listening and seeing him frequently in clubs and little folk concerts in 1975. He has been a major part in the soundtrack of my life since then . .. i have lived a musically blessed life in so many ways. I will always be sad that this COVID virus took him away from us in early 2020. None of those of us who loved him were ready to let him go... yet we had to. I cant even imagine the depth of grief of his family and close, close friends...

[@constancelena]

@@vivianwatts3557 I also am from vvesterm KY and he has never lost that dravvl of home, his music is doubly amazing

Saw John in concert, but never got to meet him. I've never been do bummed by the passing of someone who was not a close personal friend! However it felt like he was. I too have been binge listening since his passing!

[@1702davidson]

Just started listening to this fellow. Very accomplished and talented. Very easy to listen for hours. He must have been a down to earth person. This is all our loss. Just know he made a lot of people happy. How many people can do that. RIP. John

[@kurtcole9574]

Johns passing hit me as if I lost a life long friend. Never before did the passing of any entertainer affect me like this. I actually cry sometimes listening to his music. His music has been part of my life since 1982, and will be till the day comes when I'm reunited with my friends and family on the other side. The first John Prine song I ever heard was Paradise, thanks John....Peace

The first song I heard from him was Sam Stone. At the time I had a habit and a lot of my friends were coming back from Vietnam strung out this song rang very true to us !

[@angimangino7265]

I as well am so sad over this. I have been on a John Prime marathon for 3 days now. All I see is he was even more Special than I thought. And that was pretty special. Such a kind and compassionate soul, master storyteller, great musician. I. miss him so much ,R.I.P. John Prime .There's some great musicians in heaven so happy to see you and get down with you😇

[@moonlitme]

What a treat stumbling upon this has been...

[@SuperZooon]

the duett with his wife was just sublime

[@michaelgarrity6090]

It was a big hit to have John Prine be taken by Covid. I saw him a number of times over the years and only met him thanks to the meets and greats after the shows. He seemed like such a kind loving person who really appreciated his fans. He will be missed. Thanks to who posted this show.

[@jimminimac]

I saw him in a couple of small venues. It's hard to get used to him being gone.

[@georgemoore8832]

[@kennyw871]

I saw John Prine last century in Anchorage, AK. Sure glad I did. I think this is one of his best concerts. RIP our friend.

[@johnhamilton5290]

I only saw John Prine once, in 2003 when the war with Iraq was being cooked up. I was hoping to hear "Flag Decal," but told myself not to go in with expectations, just take what you get. He opened with "Flag Decal." It was a quiet show, he was humble, did two encores if I remember right. Leon Redbone opened for him - was surprisingly good, also very humble. It was one of the best shows I ever went to. When I heard he was on a ventilator I pretty much knew his prospects were not good, but had a weak hope. He had a good life. We all could do so well. We count our blessings.

[@phyllispennings9732]

KZbin is just the best for keeping John Prine alive for all of us..Happy Thanksgiving..we are VERY thankful for John's wonderful music and lyrics like no other ! John , Enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette & vodka & ginger ale..you earned all your great time in heaven !! We will all be up there with you before you know it !!

I listened to john prine 40 plus years ago, and i still listen to him thank god for you tube!!! Miss you john rest in peace my friend!!! If i make it to heaven the first song i want requested is SAM STONE!!! YOUR A LEGEND YOU MAY BE GONE BUT YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND EVER!!!

[@leecalvinmusic]

Daphne Randall it’s sad that he’s gone but he left a great legacy. I loved how he almost crossed over into Classic Rock, just check out how Saddle In The Rain builds up and ends, more Rock than country, yet he goes full-on country ballad with Sam Stone and Unwed Fathers, and Philip Donnelly’s guitar solos too, he’s a showman in his own right. Very underrated in my opinion.

It's the heart and natural talent, not the technique, that connects with the listener. Technique can only create the illusion of talent, like a copy of the Mona Lisa.
