Roger Waters & John Prine - Newport Folk Fest 2017 - Hello In There

[@martinmcdonald4207]

I feel proud of my country that helped John Prine find a home away from home in Ireland. We were honoured to have him. Legend yet the most humble and grounded. R.I.P. and thank you John.

[@nolan8336]

Well said Martin, so very true. Ireland loved him, and will miss him greatly. His music will live forever. RIP John 🙏💚🇺🇸🇮🇪.

[@tobypuente8841]

Great sentiment! He LOVED Ireland...WHO WOULDN"T?! And, this performance has Lucius with Roger...they toured that year and showed up again at Neil Young's annual Bridge Benefit...magnificent. So grateful for all John Prine's work to bring us so much work...what a wordsmith (like the IRISH!).

[@markusfuld1816]

I find it hard to see how anyone could dislike his music and impossible to see how anyone could dislike the man. Class act!

[@g33fer94]

Love JP, but I'm a bit confused by this comment. JP was born in Maywood, Illinois and whilst married to Fiona (and perhaps before it, I'm not judging), he had a connection to Ireland, but I'm a bit confused about this notion about him "finding a home away from Ireland". It seems disingenuous, that's all. Anyway, RIP and thank you John.

[@ajholland]

@@g33fer94 He had a home in Kinvara, Co. Galway. The locals loved him and he used to bring his guitar to the pub and play.

[@seagate9705]

I'm watching and listening this just before I go to my dead end factory job. With a damp eye and a lump in my throat. Peace to all.

[@lindadann9202]

I totally get you!

[@bpalpha]

Amen.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

You made the right career choice when Roger Waters shows up to accompany you! RIP John Prine...

[@allanhughes7859]

No diss respect but when you hear the two together just goes to show how good John really was !!!!!!!!!!

[@MrPlooky]

Imagine you're such a good songwriter, Roger Waters is a fan..

[@codjh9]

Shows how revered John was amongst his peers. I woud've never imagined Roger Waters and John Prine on the same stage, but it's cool. RIP, John.

[@rickmilam413]

Or imagined that John would out sing him. One of the true greats and a good man.

[@noelmajers6369]

@SuperbeNain I think you are right. I rather suspect that Roger Waters is a big John Prine fan and didn't want to be seen overwhelming this performance (I have to put headphones on to properly hear Roger's voice which is definitely not a problem with any of his Pink Floyd or solo performances !). John Prine has a big following among UK songwriters. Elvis Costello is another along with playwright Alan Bleasdale.

[@experimentaltvextv6538]

Rogwr covered 2 John Prine songs when I saw him at the Bridge School benefit in October 2016.

[@Flash80go]

They also shared the stage for Levon Helm's benefit, fantastic

[@MiltonJenkins]

That was an unusual pairing. Roger seemed plenty happy to be part of it. an that song melt a heart...

[@jenniferharvey944]

Another of my heroes gone- Cash, Clarke, Van Zandt and now my all time favourite R.I.P John and thanks for the music and the memories - Love from England

[@adamanderson3728]

An honest man Never changes ones story I believe John never heard A boo ever. What inspiration, love, heart, integrity and his comfort food recipe way about himself selflessly sharing simplicity in what he enjoyed. What a Giant.. R.I.P. JOHN

[@karenstauffer5754]

John Prine can reach inside of you and grasp onto your soul.

[@kurtcole9574]

well said I know he did mine. And that's not an easy task. He and his music was and always will be the only one capable of doing that with music and lyrics. My 7 year old son does it every morning when he wakes and yells Daddy so I will come and greet him and start our day together. And that feeling I get from my child every day is the feeling I get when I listen to J.P.'s music. I lost a lot of friends to the heroine and It's hard for me to listen to Sam Stone without having to hold back the tears. He and his music is a American Treasure....peace!

[@sambissell2658]

Rest In Peace, John....rest in everlasting peace....and now that you're playing with the angels, turn up the volume a bit......

Thank you!

Hi there, Atheists are the most simple-minded people of all, regardless of their level of education. Btw, I’m here because I grew up in Paradise, KY and John Prine is a distant relative of mine.

[@michaelmcgcp]

Hi there Why even try to take someone’s religion away from them? If you’re an atheist, you should be preaching kindness and not try to make people feel as hopeless as you. That’s all.

[@kurtcole9574]

wow that's awesome', saw John Prine live, saw Waters, WOW BOTH ON STAGE TOGETHER, WOW. People at the festival was truly in the presents of glory that day. God Rest Your Soul J.P.....peace and prosperity to all J.P. fans.

Roger's smile in that last verse is priceless!

I noticed that too.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE JOHN PRINE! HE WILL NOT ONLY BE SORROWFULLY MISSED, HE WILL BE ETERNALLY IRREPLACEABLE! WE MISS YOU, JOHN, BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE GIFTS YOU GAVE US! RIP!

[@darrellrees4371]

I remember hearing Paradise back in the seventies. Twenty years later, driving through Muhlenberg county KY. and seeing the devastation of the strip mining really made it personal for me. Sadly, the year 2020 will litter the footnotes of future history books, marking the passing of great artists, musicians, scientists, philosophers, and writers, while not recording the millions of ordinary folk who were brothers, sisters, friends, etc,

[@davidphillips6013]

Never had much time for Roger Waters over the years,maybe I’ve changed my mind a bit now.

[@jamesdevlin6373]

So sad today, the world's a lesser place, we lost a Legend. RIP Mr Prine.

He passed today.. Thx the share this video!

[@waynejones205]

I saw one reference to JP as the Mark Twain of Songwriters. Never drew that conclusion, so now I'm going back over finding it out. No Doubt in my mind! One of the greatest I Never met. :'( R.I.P. John Prine!

[@davebrez]

My favorite Prine live, moment... It was a Friday... I rode one of the bikes to work... (I’d heard the Roger Waters/My Morning Jacket rumors)... Left Quincy, MA early... Rode waaay too fast... Hit the Rhode Island border, pulled over, and took off my helmet (just like i always do)... Yeah!!... Flying solo definitely can have huge benefits... like being able to get right up front for moments like this one. Thank you, John. Hope your smokin’ a cigarette that’s nine miles long.

[@glennmello9409]

masked and anonymous your story should remind us all to not just buy the ticket.....bravo

[@kathys3kids]

Rest in peace, John. You're in heaven now. I'll miss you.

[@BillOrme]

always found it hard to hear this song without tearing up, but now it's just impossible

[@awboat]

I've used this song for 40 years to say hello with a smile on my face to the lone elderly person I came across while shopping. Now I am the elderly person and people just look the other way. But there are still the lonely out there and I still say, Hello in there, hello.

[@gregsykes9770]

He sang from his heart and he's saying from his soul and he touched all of us

[@moondog0468]

RIP John! One of the best of his many great songs.

[@thomasconrad2729]

The sadness is not getting any better yet. What a punch in the gut his passing was.

[@favorites51066]

I can't believe I didn't discover John Prine until about a year ago. I discovered him searching Kacey Musgraves on KZbin. They're the two of them or on a little stage that look like a High School auditorium. I was like who the hell is that little man up there such a quirky guy oh, funny guy. Then I listen to the song She Sang called I smoked a joint with John Prine. So I immediately had to look him up. I can explain what happened next but I watched his videos for 5 hours in a row after that and cried the whole time. Like I said I cannot explain this.

[@amedeofilippi6336]

Thank you, John, for all the notes. I first saw you at the University of Houston in 1970. I sat a few feet away and heard those incredible songs. I've been a fan ever since. This is one of my favorites.

[@katherinehunter9526]

Peace be with you John. You're in good company up in heaven with all the legendary musicians who have passed away in the past few weeks from this COVID-19. SNL's Hal Willner a musical director taken too. I keep thinking that all these musicians who were all legends here on Earth are all going to start playing in a Big Band with Hal directing you all. Imagining this Pearly Gates gig gives me peace of mind somehow. Well that's the only way I can make any sense of this damn virus preying on so many folk's. Not just legends or several artists and musicians but regular working folk's and Doctors and Nurses too. Of course a legendary band is needed cause there is going to be a huge guest list thanks to this damn virus. Rest in Peace. Keep on playing. ✌💞🎸🎶🎹🌹🙏 KEH 🇨🇦
